Renee, hugs hun. We had a really bad spot a couple of years ago, but worked through it. I agree with the others, some quality time together will go a long way, and if there's really a blockage or a wedge between you, some counselling together can work wonders. xxx

Sherie, oh dear I thought you'd dealt with the mice. Yuck! Is it getting cooler there, is that why they are coming in? What will happen if your endo's back? You're right about DH, we'll be trying to catch a glimpse of him on the telly tomorrow.

Cally yay for the poo. How's the sleeping been going, consistently good I hope. I think of you a lot in the middle of the night, you're my beacon of hope that it can and will eventually get better. Re the nappy rash, I use a product called Amolin, which has the zinc cream in it along with almond oil and calamine so it's very soothing, we slather it on thick and it's usually enough to prevent any problems.

Noni I looked at buying an amber necklace online but in the end I couldn't get past my fear of it being a strangulation hazard. I do believe they would work though, but for energetic reasons. I've found a cold wet flannel from the fridge to chew on really helps for a bit. If you make custard from scratch it's not yellow unless you use a lot of egg. BTW :hugs: hun and i hope you and Asha both get a good sleep. I've got all the fabric and ribbons to sew a Taggie for E - if I get off this no sleep roundabout I'll do it!

Pregpan, I'm really squirmish with the finger foods too, because of the choking aspect. I went and did a first aid course for children when DD was about 6 mo for that very reason (needed to know what to do in the event). Well she only ever choked once, she was much older (prolly close to 2) sitting up in her highchair eating some fruit. She went completely silent (how I know it was 'real' choking) and tears started squirting out of her eyes. Lucky it was a big piece so I just hooked it out of her mouth with my finger.
