OMG I missed out on the start of a new thread. Shame on me. I have been so slack in here lately.

This daylight savings bit is killing me. The kids are up before 6am every damn day. The only one that does sleep in is Abbey, which is all well and good if it weren't for the others.

Abbey doesn't hat a routine as such and her day sleeps are becoming painful atm. We are lucky to get a sleep cycle out of her. I so don't want her to end up like Tehya with her crap sleeping. On the upside though Abbey is generally a pretty good night sleeper. She starts her bedtimee routine around 8pm, bum change, wrapped and then a huge boob feed. I get her to bed and within 10 minutes she is awake crying. She does this everynight. I pick her up, give her a cuddle, she sucks her thumb and goes back to sleep. Not sure why she wakes up after the 10 minutes, perhaps that is the first sleep cycle, as by the time she is fed and in bed it's been about that much time.

Welcome Jus and congrats on your little girl Ella.

Not sure how big Abbey is now. I haven't weighed her since the week she turned 4 months. I got a reminder letter from the GP the other day about Abbey's immunisation, still not very sure if I want to continue with them. At the moment I am leaning very much towards not.

We went out and got ourselves a new flat screen plasma on the weekend and a new front loader washer. OMG how long do those things take to do a load. I understand that they are more water efficient but surely at going for 2 hours they can't be energy efficient . Now to pay the damn things off. I am going to sell the old washer and tv on Ebay. Hopefully I will get some decent $ for them and put it towards a repayment. Got to love GE Finance. LOL.

Sorry for the selfish post. I seem to be doing alot of them lately

oh I hate front loaders to. time is precious so i coiuldn't be bothered waiting that long for washing to finish

Crappy crap night here. Olivia woke at 1 for half an hour then at 4 and didn't go back down till 7. Thankfully Dh is home so I went back to bed for 30 mins, Must have fallen into a super deep sleep as I had the weirdest dream lol will try and 40 winks in today sometimes as Dh is back to work tomorrow

ooh Trish! Shopping spree! I love my front loader - much better for the nappies You'll soon work out when & how to use it with the long cycles. I tend to do a load in the evening, one overnight, and then another in the morning Don't notice the long cycles then. It should have a short cycle on it tho if you're in a hurry. At least you can watch your new tv while waiting for the washing LOL.

LOL Liz, I said to Mark, here we are trying to save on energy and water with the new machine and go and get a new tv which will chew the power. Atleast the screen will keep the lounge warm in the winter.

Sorry, my puter shut down.

I put a load on last night and worked out the fast wash cycle too. I have the nappies in atm, prob should do them at night but I was waiting on her nappy from overnight. By the time they are finished it will be late to hang them. Oh well, I will figure it out sometime. Tehya was sitting in front of the washing machine watching it before. Must be so interesting.

Sorry to hear that you had a crap night Nic. Mine was *****ty too. I feel just as tired now as I did before I went to bed lastnight.
Hopefully you manage to get another nap in today
