Sleep, Potty Traing and Eczema

Well, I’m here again, which is surprising to me as I’m not good with keeping diaries.  I have had yet another broken night’s sleep; I should explain that my youngest daughter who is nearly ten months as not slept through the night once since she was born.  Now I wouldn’t mind if it I had a break of getting up but I don’t.  As explained in my previous post my partner works a lot of hours so I get up when he works.  But he is supposed to get up on his days off, which doesn’t quite happen, he maybe gets up twice then the rest is left up to me.  So anybody who reads this and has any tips please let me know.

What else did I do yesterday, well potty training my eldest most of the time.  We have been doing this on and off since she turned two but for some reason yesterday she seemed to get the hang of it so it will be more of the same today.  This will be great as she starts nursery in May and we will be spending less money on nappies.

Also another thing my eldest daughter as all of a sudden got some eczema and we are trying to find the best treatment.  At the moment we are using good old sudocrem, we did try E45 but she had a reaction which seems to happen to most products we use on her.  Again any tips most welcome.

On another note I am trying to sort out my money issues, which you can read on my other blog http://bohosmoney.blogspot.com/

My Life

Well what can I say I am a stay at home Mum to my two daughters.  One aged 3 and the other nearly ten months.  They keep me very entertained.  My partner is a chef and works long hours, mainly 13/14 hour days.  So the five days he is at work I'm pretty much a single parent.

Some people ask me how we can possibly have a relationship when he works such long hours.  I can say it has its difficulties but we manage, although some of the time I do get frustrated that he doesn't spend more time with the children.  It's my eldest who has more of a hard time and when she starts school full time in a couple of years she will see less of him.

I'm not promising that my life isn't going to be interesting but hopefully I will entertain some people.  I will probably be doing blogs on mummy bits, finance as I am trying to pay off my two credit cards and hopefully in September a bit about beauty as I will be going to college.
