  1. Went to the colour shop on grove vale today and they can make chalk board painting any colour. They also have magnetic paint, they have a chimney breast done in it and the finish is really good. So maybe it depends on what product you use.... I will never do it again though!
  2. Magnetic paint... Hard to get a good finish and it's not really that magnetic. It will hold magnets but not brilliant for anything heavy eg our wall wouldn't hold a postcard or paper under the magnet. We did this for our splash back and a small patch of wall and it took hours of making good.
  3. I was planning to lurk on this argument. Can you all step it up please.
  4. If I spread my calories throughout the day the hunger is manageable. Yesterday I had calories left over!! I don't believe you don't get hungry at all though. That would make it easier though!
  5. Anyone got one? We are thinking of painting some cupboard doors to be a giant chalkboard. Cliched I'm sure, but I fancy it. Any considerations I need to think of? Tips to make it look good? I've heard it can be dustier than expected, and not as shiny glossy as they look in the magazines.....
  6. I wish it was 31 days... Was several months. I would have gone private in a flash.
  7. It's so crap isn't it! I remember an interview ith Alan sugar where he said he wasn't bothered if a candidate was a parent - his advice was to just say 'I have really good childcare in place, it's totally sorted' as what they are really asking is if it will be a problem for them!
  8. First week this week! Wasn't too bad, have to remember to not be shirty at work before I've had my breakfast which is late ish. Then soup and salad for lunch leaves enough for egg on toast.
  9. Just to second that. Amazingly efficient dept. I was on the morning surgery and despite going last I was out by 1130 and would have been sooner if I hadn't accidentally taken the car keys with me meaning my pick up had to sent 30mins looking for the spares.
  10. I have a 14mo there and we are happy. Pm me if you want more info.
  11. I've got 5 BG pocket nappies for sale, they are v3 I think. I didn't get on with any pocket nappies, I don't know why! I like the BG organics I've got but I have to say the BG free time have been better for us.
  12. Ours took 10 days, and that's with a decent stopover on Singapore! Almost there!
  13. I'm starting up again tomorrow. Is everyone fasting on non-consecutive days or consecutive days?
  14. Yep, perseverance You will get there
  15. Ps I don't think that you can get anti biotics on a repeat but they might give you a script in case it flares up again. I had it fairly regularly but mildly compared to what it could have been.
  16. DMC I have to say they have their problems but overall they have done well by us I think you should raise a complaint, imagine if you have to stop bf because they haven't trained their reception staff properly to prioritise patients. If they weren't sure they should have referred it to the practice manager or a doctor.
  17. I think it's worth speaking to the practice manager and making sure they know about it. When I had mastitis the first time I called and asked for an appt, when they said nothing available I said 'I have mastitis and a 3 week old baby' and they found me something immediately. It's about the feeding of a newborn so high priority. And, sorry you have had mastitis, it truly sucks.
  18. I think it's a slippery slope to blame yourself. (I do this too of course) But really you don't ever know if things would be better if you'd done it differently. I'm sure we are all doing the best we can. I know I am. Lately we have made up a bed next to his cot at the same level. It has been modately successful. Ie we all get a bit more sleep. I found myself asleep there the other night with no real memory of going in there! Feels like overnights are some other world I slip into instead of sleeping.
  19. I still haven't started up again but I did it as Breakfast - small serving bread and boiled egg, tea Lunch - soup Snacks - small banana Dinner - soup And it was ok, didn't get too hungry, lots of tea and water help
  20. I hope you are not saying your sister was like that Helen gv! Chillaxed.... Which one worked!?
  21. Info in the Sunday times supplement today...
  22. the baby sense secret is good too whatever you read, id say read more than 1 and then you can take out what you like of it (like pickle says above) i did 'gina light' which was using the milk and food times from Gina Ford but taking most of my advice from baby sense and other mums.
  23. We had a cheap wire bouncer... Worked well for us!
  24. I found dr hauschka cleanser to be the trick for my skin. I use oil of olay moisturiser. Sounds to me like you need a facial and some advice from a beauty therapist... Also, if you take the tube daily... It's weird but when I don't wear makeup my skin is much greasier, when I wear makeup it seems to act as a barrier to all that grime!
  25. I'm sure someone on here suggested always offering food before milk? I can't remember at what stage that is though.
