forgot to say latest update on mine is that he's currently trying to break some kind of poo world record again - having previously peaked at 11 in one day, he's currently averaging 6 - and today was 8! PLUS he's at that v wriggly/standing up/turning over stage where nappy changing is impossible. Thus: poo everywhere, nappy cream everywhere, cross mum, cross baby.

Belle - do the 'famous leg over trick'!!!


To change nappy;


Sit on floor on your bottom with legs out in front of you, in a V shape. Place baby at right angles to you, with your thigh over his chest to pin him down, and his feet in the direction of your other leg. You can then change him quickly and easily, with both hands free, without him moving, and even if he protests it will all be a lot quicker and less frustrating/traumatic than the general baby rolling and crawling away, poo everywhere, stressed out red sweaty Mummy thing....


Usually you only have to do it for a week or two and they stop playing up about nappy changes anyway because they realise you've got them beaten!


One of the best tips I've ever been given, handed down through generations of Nappy Ladies!

Tee hee Ian, sadly not in the same league - but as a parent probably much more relevant to day to day life, for a brief period anyway!

Hi All,


I am new to this forum and this thread has brought a smile to my face and a little bit of hope! I was starting to think I was the only mummy in the whole universe that averages 5 hours of broken sleep per night, has a baby (10 months) that will not allow me to put their nappy on and has cut 4 top teeth in less than a week, and owns a boiler that is on the blink. Seems I am just rather normal after all!


Oh the joys?.! xx

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.

      Does anybody know why? Trees aren't cut down for no reason. There must have been something wrong with it (I hope that was the reason). A child was recently killed and another one injured when a tree fell in a park (not in this area). It isn't always obvious from the outside when a tree is diseased or whatever, and I imagine the council would give safety considerations priority when deciding what to do, if there was any doubt at all.

      Yet another burst main... major leak on Lordship Lane nr junction with Barry Rd

      By Sue · Posted

      Different people will be  involved within Thames Water. The people dealing with the leaks aren't the people encouraging less water usage. How many people have reported the Barry Road leak? By what channels? What response have they had? When we had a leak in our road which meant we had no water, several people reported it, there was good communication with TW, they explained why they couldn't come out immediately (other urgent jobs elsewhere in the area) , kept  in touch with us and fixed the leak within a reasonable timescale (hours). Someone from TW also contacted me later to make sure my water was back. But does Thames Water know about it? They aren't psychic (I presume). If nobody reports it, I also presume they won't even know the leaks are  there, unless they have some kind of central monitoring system which tells them when there are leaks in the system. To make it clear, I am not defending Thames Water as a company, which I think should never have been privatised.  But there are some things they can't be blamed for (old and disintegrating water pipe system in London) and some they can (possibly, lack of sufficient staff to deal with leaks, maybe due to trying to save money to give their shareholders more. But this is just surmise on my part - I know nothing about Thames Water).
