Hungry, Bethany?

At least it's fruit 😄

I have a few questions about the tax free childcare scheme, particularly for anyone who pays for 2 or more children.

I know you pay into the childcare account, then for every 80p you add the government adds 20p up to the limit.

Do they pay in every time we do, or do they pay in once every 3 months? (I've seen its capped at £500 per child, every 3 months.)

How do you differentiate that you're paying in for 2 children? If we can, we would pay in one lump sum each month to make it easier on ou...

Naomi, I think that bonjela would work better if we squeeze it out the tube first...

Naomi has spent all day babbling dadadada baba dada.
So hubby gets home just as Naomi's going to bed.
He gives her a cuddle, then she comes back to me ready for a feed. He kisses her on the cheek... She leans in and smooches MY cheek, before looking at him and pushing his face away 😂😂😂😂😂

Only 7 months old but so much personality already!!

Ok, how do I distract Bethany from her very itchy chicken pox? The first spots are starting to blister, so she really needs to leave them alone!
She's already had an oat bath (she only got out 20 minutes ago) and has eurax cream on the spots.

Would someone like a 5 year old???

Hubby's not feeling well & gone back to bed.
Little one needs her nap, with hubby in bed I couldn't take her out in the buggy and leave 5 year old home.
FINALLY got little one to sleep on me - if I move she'll wake up.
5 year old is now having a strop because I can't just put little one down to play with her - she's just gone stamping up the stairs and is playing with the noisiest stuff she can in little one's room 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

When you've asked her to use her fork approximately 42000 times...

Bethany saw a large unicorn in Sainsbury's a few weeks ago.
I bought her said unicorn from argos today.
It's taller than the coffee table! Bigger than Naomi!
How do I a, keep this hidden and b, wrap this up? (It's currently stashed in a cupboard)

I must have looked very odd leaving Sainsbury's earlier, with Naomi in one arm & this under the other 😂

Wow... My 5 year old has just spent the last 40 minutes screaming at the top of her lungs, having a full blown tantrum - because I cooked a sausage for her dinner instead of a hot dog (I even told her she couldn't have a hot dog before I cooked, and asked her what she wanted with her sausage!)

40 ear splitting minutes over the lack of a bread roll...

Little one's not napped properly all day and is overtired.
Hubby's not home yet & waiting for him so I don't have to leave my 5 year old alone downstairs.
5 year old's tired and crying because I wouldn't let her shove a dirty dummy in her sister's mouth.

Please... send help!!!
