I have just had my second child by C-section and I have another boy who has just turned 2. My husband will be returning to work next Friday for 2 weeks (unexpectedly as our son was early, and we had hoped that paternity leave and summer holidays would merge!)

So I am considering getting some help for these 2 weeks - I am not 100% sure exactly what I need, but taking my son to nursery 2 mornings a week, lifting him when required (eg for lunchtime naps) are among the things that spring to mind, as well as help with the new baby and help entertaining the toddler eg when feeding the small one.

Would welcome any input or suggestions as to whether I need a temp nanny, a post natal doula or what - and any specific recommendations also very welcome. It's very short notice I know, so I guess an agency may be the only option (and hence pricey..)

Thanks.

      Vet recommendation

      By tiddles · Posted

      Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
