Oh dear, I must be the only mummy here who's not planning a birthday party! Gawd I feel so TRAGIC!!!!

Renee and MM - that's hilarious that you bumped into each other...just think if you'd been a little braver R you could've stopped and a had a coffee and a right ol catch up!

Commisserations Noni on the not sleeping. The screaming doesn't sound right, let us know what the dr says.

I can't believe Pregpan popped in and didn't tell us why her birthday was soo memorable!!!

Trill, Don't Scratch!!! HOpe they are starting to feel better. We've got a nuby too but it's one of the first ones I tried that she didn't drink out of. I've used it since and it's good too.

Clare, maybe get some different meds at the drs, sounds like the one you've got is not working!

OMG Cally I would flip out from a dream like that! Could you get back to sleep afterwards?

MM, I second Trill's suggestions. Otherwise try just giving her a drink of water instead of the bottle if you don't want her having a bottle (if she's a mouth breather she might be waking up feeling a bit dry around the gills).

Arte, illegal dirtbikers are a problem everywhere! I reckon just leave a few hand-fulls of sharp tacks (pointy end up) on the strip they ride on (!!!) Did I say that? Def ring the police next time and at least see what they say, otherwise speak to the council about noise restrictions.
