Not a clue. But soon you will dream of Mr Tumble and his songs and murdering and eating Bing............................
Bing is bloody awful. I hate the shows that encourage baby-talk. Not good for kids.As for Peppa f***&ing Pig, she is a whiny little brat who is s terrible example. Banned from our house.
Rationally hating certain kids cartoons. It's a Bing thing.
Hey Duggie, Octonauts all bearable. In fact much of the cbeebies stuff is pretty good. Even Teletubbies.
Posted on here a while back that we were expecting and 3 weeks ago our little girl arrived!
She was 2 weeks late and the wife had to get induced and bloody hell, that was intense! It took immediate effect and she went straight into labour when most women progressively go into it.
To top it off the anesthetists were busy in A&E for hours so my poor wife had to endure a lot of pain for a very long time. The little blighter eventually came out, but the placenta got stuck and my wife lost 2 litres of blood very quickly. I was left there holding the baby whilst my wife passed out, went very pale and went it spasm. It was the scariest moment of my life and it could have been fatal, but the doctors were incredible and acted really fast.
3 weeks on and everyone is doing well and I'm back at work. Paternity leave was just incredible and I am loving being a dad!

Flop needs to be given a spin-off series where he fights injustice and always gets the girl. Flop's the man.
Flop is Bing's enabler. Bing never suffers any real consequences for his actions, because of Flop. WHERE ARE BING'S PARENTS?! WHAT EVEN IS FLOP?! d.Flop needs to be given a spin-off series where he fights injustice and always gets the girl. Flop's the man.

Flop is a projection of Bing's loneliness as he has a crushing, massive nervous breakdown when faced with the reality that almost all of the adult animals have disappeared / abandoned them.
I feel faint just reading that! Glad everything turned out ok in the end.

great to hear! I think once you've gone through it you realise that traumatic births are actually a lot more common than people think, but people only seem to talk about it to people if they've been through it too. It's amazing how many people all of sudden mentioned what they'd been through after our daughter arrived. Anyway, it does make you realise that it isn't actually a bit of pain, grunting and then all of a sudden POP: baby! There's a lot more to it... and risks... by the grace of God go I... which of course is a stupid phrase as it is absolutely down to the skill and experience of the medical staff. A new found respect for them and I am sure the Mrs too. Nice one. She was 2 weeks late and the wife had to get induced and bloody hell, that was intense!

Our offspring is off to the doctors to get his cocktail of 1 year olds jabs today. From speaking to other parents the results of getting them range from sleeping a lot to absolute hell for a couple of days so this is going to be fun.
Just as he was pretty much sleeping through the night as well...
Interesting that on the back of the letter inviting you to book an appointment explaining what each jab does, the section relating to the MMR jab is about 3 times the size as the others with lots of warnings about what may happen if you dont have it. I guess there is still a bit of suspicion around it.

Never had any problems with 1yr jabs. They just went on as normal or maybe slightly grouchy for an afternoon. The meningitis B? one that they warn of a temperature is the only one we had any trouble with. Even then it was just a bit of a temperature and a couple of nights unsettled sleep.Just as he was pretty much sleeping through the night as well...

Ours was similar for men B. Took 72hrs (and quite a lot of calpol).Our Ruby (4 months old yesterday) had been sleeping through the night until a couple of weeks ago when she started waking up every 1-2 hours through the night.
Last night she slept through from 9:30pm to 7:00am....was this just a phase as a result of a development phase?? Seems strange how her sleeping through just ended and started again so abruptly!
Wonderous things these babies!!

Well i did a quick floor plan at work and i've found out this is all we can fit in the room. It really is small!

A cot like that will be a pain for a newborn - you're better off with something much higher, which will make picking them up, putting them down, and standing there for 40 minutes in the dark with a soothing hand on their chest like some kind of miserable exhausted idiot, much much easier. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/childrens-ikea...

You'll also get more storage space underneath a higher one.
https://www.mothercare.com/cot-beds/mothercare-blo...
Mattress has three heights, which is very useful/essential as mentioned. It's now in bed form and will last her a good couple of years more. Although higher cost than a cot, a cot bed lasts much longer. There is a second hand one on ebay for £200 right now.
We also have this chest of drawers/changing table - https://www.mothercare.com/dressers-and-changing-u...
There's one on gumtree in bridgend, brand new in box for £290.
