Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Simone I have also been considering going to buy K a toddler bed to see if it will make night times easier, we saved for it and have enough now, but also worried that he might fall off the bed because he literally crawls all over the cot

Simone you so have the right to moan,so go ahead we here to listen

Vix i agree..Huggies Gold helpline is very good. When i complain about tabs they do send voucher...but i dont wanna complain re: every pack. They need to fix the problem. I did wanna phone about last pack...but i remember now i threw it out (the empty packet) and batch number is needed. Oh well. next time...cause threre will be a next time! lol

Oh so sweet...last night i has to siss Addy to sleep after she woke at 10pm..as she is falling asleep..she smiles and says 'mama'...and starts snoring softly.lol. I just started smiling...then she opens her eyes, smiles at me and sleeps again.lol.

lol Simone moan away.

I am so not ready for him to be in a bed. He may be but not me. He has a big cot but you may be right.

Vix on the topic of crazy tourists...what is up with the Argentians being deported???? Threat to national security...wonder if its really that bad!

Ya the games were bad yesterday! I was reading all this news on the complaints re: the ball. Wonder why they didnt speak up before the cup and now want to complain??

Vix...thanks for commenting re: bed. I also think so. If we lay on our bed...Addy lies by herself, drinks, turns, sleeps. Then we move to cot....so i think its the confines of the cot doing it for her. I am TERRIBLY claustrophobic...so i can see why it would upset her.

Good thing u getting the window fixed...flip with this cold!!!

My air con is on 28 degrees...my fingers are still frozen!

lol Yoza...you are your own cheerleader?? you go girl for the ticker!

Oh yoza,...Nayeela's lg is 1 tomorrow;-)

Lisha G said he hardly noticed them...but it was so cold in PE...he mentioned something about balls never shrunk so much (TMI SORRY!!!! BUT SO FUNNY!!!)..so i think vuvu last thing on his mind! LMAO!

Yoza praying for recovery for your dad!

Morning ladies

Julz and nicole..i am getting so sick of this as well! Also alot of moaning. And like Dylan...Addison is not loving the cot...so refuses to lay down again.

Julz a friend said to me it may be time for the big bed and they are getting claustrophobic in the cot??

I am so tired this morning...Addy was awake passed flippin 4...i wanted to just give her a good hiding! lol. But restrained myself! Instead i said: Addison you are infuriating mummy!

Then at 8am she is miserable from being up so early...dada berserk! Wanted to hit cynthia cause she thought cynthia was trying to take her from her father. Scolding her for it just brought more tears! the joys!

but on the plus side...Gerard made her a bowl of nutrific...she ate it all by herself and did not mess a single drop! So cute!

Lisha thanks for answering all my questions...not even sure if u saw it.lol.

Julz i assume membership is to some whiskey drinking league??? I know nothing about whiskey!

Christi I am sure iris will start talking one day and not stop.lol. Dont stress.

Zee sorry about your SIL's mom...what a difficult time for them. Parachute jump??? I am with your DH! lol.

Nelria it seems to take just one morning of putting them in bed and to them...its cast in stone! lol. I am sure check up will go well!

Lisha at Game is 2 x Huggies Gold Jumbo packs for R300. Normal packs R120 at Dischem. Jumbo pack R155 at checkers. I dont know why so cheap all over??? Maybe new one coming out like pampers did with price before launching premium???

The huggies Dry is R240 for 2 packs at Game as well. Not sure on size.

Yoza...cute re: Buhle and mirror;-) You are right...2nd time round things will be different. Though i never splurged with Addy...i am hoping to splurge for no. 2...lol.

Thanks Lisha...sorry for being such a moaning myrtle guys!

Julz- C's leaks and he's only drinking 250ml at bedtime now but it was fine before it's these different batch I got in the mega pack. But I am just so fed up of pampers customer care aswell. Last time they sent me a R100 voucher towards the R220 pack of crappy nappies and a note to say they are glad to hear I am pleased with their service. I phoned huggies to get a few samples (I was actually being cheeky and hoping they'd send like 10 samples) but they phoned me personally and sent me a voucher for a full pack of Huggies gold to try out. Wow I was really impressed, that pacvk cost R200 at the time and that's what they consider a sample. I emailed Pampers again to complain about this mega pack and stated that their customer service sucks and how good huggies were just for samples and they didn't even read it I'm sure, I got a standard email saying 'we're sorry you weren't satisfied, we strive to make the best quality..... Please accept this voucher off your next purchse" I bet it's just a crappy R100 voucher again when I spent R300 on a whole box of shitty nappies. Huggies told me, if you have bought a pack that is not up to standard, contact them and they will deliver a fresh packet in exchange for the duff pack. I was veruy impressed although I never needed to exchange.

Simone- I think it was you who said the tags keep breaking off the Huggies gold? Keep the broken ones aside and phone huggies, they'll give you an exchange.

Nicole- when my bro was born (ooooo about 12/13 year ago now) they sold seperate boys and girls nappies in the UK, not sure why they stopped.

I am now on the hunt for a cheap supplier of pull ups. Zthis morning C pulled his trousers off and walked to the potty so I think he's getting ready for sdaytime training. I only use cheap nappies during the day so don't want pay the extortionate proice of Huggies walkies.

Does anyone remember that 'HUSH' that used to post on PF about cheap nappies, they did pull ups for R1.80 per nappy. But I can't remember their website.

Yoza- thanks so much for the specials, I HAVE to go buy nappies today, I can't make C lay in wee in these temps.

I'm quite happy with Huggies, but Vix agree wrt making special nappies for boys as i have noticed that when K leaks his nappy if full and soaked in the front but dry at the back, so it tends to pull the nappy down.

Nelria wow it really sounds like you have adjusted so well to all the new changes and that Lea has been so cute about her lil brother...so sweet.

Vix i don't think its teething because it has been happening every night for the past month!!!

It has been really cold here but not as bad as JHB, but man I hate getting up in the mornings because its so chilly. It was really bad on Tues with the wind howling and the hard rain, i think it was 9 degrees for the day. Today is a bit warmer thank goodness.

Sitting here I'm thinking that maybe Keiran is overtired at night?? and maybe that's causing him to be so restless. for e.g. he only slept for 45min yesterday and last night was very bad?

Yoza glad to hear your dad is out of ICU, hope he recovers soon.

Simone sorry about the financial position you in. Its really hard these days,everything is ridiculously expensive fx that you get the job at coke and this will lead to a positive impact on your financial position!
