My wee lassie though, not the best sleeper in the world but this is 3 nights in a row she has slept in her own room without getting up during the night and ending up in our bed. That usually resulted in my head getting kicked when she woke up Edited October 29, 2019 by Ingo ohne Flamingo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully she'll be sorted now, and only come through on occasion (as it's really quite cute as long as it's not constant). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's only 16 months old so still in her cot but I'm a deep sleeper so don't wake up when she's whinging down the monitor so the misses will always get up and bring her through. No idea where 16 months get their energy from, especially now she's not just walking but running 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Poor wee bugger. Clearly his time with you has improved his health no end and he'll likely have forgotten about the previous trauma when he's older 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound like a horrible set of circumstances for you Keith, I'm only really seeing this whole story and whilst I don't know you personally, I have so much respect for you. I'm always hearing stories from my wife who works with Children and I am honestly stunned at what I hear, some kids have got no hope whereas there is children with loving grandparents and other family members who step up and give those kids a chance of a good upbringing and most importantly, love. All the best with everything that comes your way, I hope your daughter gets the help she needs and that your Grandchildren strive with the love and care that you're providing them. People like you are the true unsung heroes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for a our first scan a few weeks ago and found 2 heartbeats... took me a few seconds to figure out what that meant we’ve now had our gender scan and found out we’re having twin girls. Absolutely buzzing... not too hung up on the genders, as long as both are healthy then I don’t care. Due date is 25th Nov but she will probably be taken in a couple of weeks early. Only concern is the financial side of it, we both do alright for ourselves, have just moved into a new build and both have a car but me being self employed means I really can’t afford to take too much time off so I’m basically working 7 days a week right now to try and build up some savings. Think I’ll really struggle with the lack of sleep, I could easily sleep 12 hours a night right now. Meeting our twin girls tomorrow. A wee bit earlier than scheduled as my wife is showing signs of pre eclampsia. Buzzing and nervous at the same time.

Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 For those who have their kids at nursery or registered day care / child minders, you might not know about this. Click onto this link and see if you're eligible for tax free childcare. https://www.gov.uk/get-tax-free-childcare Basically for every £8 you pay in, the government will add £2. My wee lassies nursery fees at Falkirk Council is around 500 a month, we pay 400 into this account, government tops it up, then the next day I go back in and send the payment to the nursery and as its all set up, you chose the nursery from the list and that's that. Pretty simple and saves a small fortune. As long as either parent don't earn more than 100k a year then you'll qualify (unless you're on certain benefits or credits). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH33 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Also some 2-3 year olds qualify for nursery, if born prematurely or certain benefits. Worth looking into. Funded hours are going upto 1120 from next August too with all entitled to free school meal. Not sure how meal will work in partnership nurseries where they take packed lunches if no cook on site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
