We had macdonalds breakfast. Baby elf had a hash brownAfter the usual night of wake ups every 2 hours and starting our day at about 5:15 I have made pancakes for the whole family this morning (egg free banana pancakes for the baby, gluten free normal pancakes for everyone else) plus a blueberry and strawberry sauce which I turned into chia jam for the baby... I'll expect my "mum of the year" medal any day now
I genuinely don't know what possessed me, I think I was filled with the festive spirit but I think I'm done for the day now, I've exhausted myself before 8am!
I’ve actually cried before trying to make pancakes and the first 2 coming out wrong. But that was with the premade ‘only have to add milk/egg’ mix, and I’ve never gone back to it. I always make my own, and even if the first one is a bit questionable, the rest turn out perfect. And now I really want pancakes 🫠I tried to make some the other day and the whole mix went in the bin after the first 2 failed.
Pancakes are harder to make than a roast dinner
I don’t understand how they’re so difficult to make and the first always goes wrong!I’ve actually cried before trying to make pancakes and the first 2 coming out wrong.

Yes we have them a good few times a week as well. Plus we always make extra and freeze them, so after two or three making sessions we’ve enough for breakfast from the freezer.Gosh, pancakes are on the menu for breakfast about 4/5 times a week here3yo loves them and can now make the mix independently, all I have to do is cook them. I also find pancakes easier than scraping weetabix off the floor after baby throws it
Ahh we have a Victorian house and we have the same situation. I was on a thread earlier where someone said it was disgusting an influencer child’s bedroom was 16.5 degrees and it made me feel bad! For us it’s 16 with the heating on and it’s barely going above that at all. He actually does seem warm enough though, his hands aren’t cold in the night but I’m with you on having to have the heating on just to keep them the minimum amount of warmGetting really pissed off with this cost of living shit and not getting anything for your money anymore.
I put the heating on for 20 minutes it’s cost me £1.50 and not even warmed the baby’s room by 1 degree so now I’ve had to put the electric heater on in his room anyway otherwise he’s sleeping in a 14-15 degree room
We’re not massively skint but it’s fucking me off now worrying about bills and usage constantly
sorry just needed a moan about the shit show of this country and shell with their $9 billion profits. Wankers
Is 16 degrees too low? Ive never even thought about it too much before Babyelfs room is 16 degrees now, we won't have the heating on again tonight. Hes in a vest, sleepsuit and 2.5 tog sleeping bag and hes been fine each night up untill now. Its supposed to get alot colder here in the coming week so I might get out the fleece pjs for him. I guess they would wake if they were cold wouldn't theyAhh we have a Victorian house and we have the same situation.

Yeah same for what he’s wearing. I think we’ll get fleece ones too. We need to look into getting our loft insulated as upstairs is definitely not as warm but I really don’t think 16 is that cold, I thought it was the minimum okay temp for babies?! He seems fine anyway so I’m going to stop worrying.Is 16 degrees too low? Ive never even thought about it too much before Babyelfs room is 16 degrees now, we won't have the heating on again tonight.

As far as I'm aware, they say 16-19 degrees is the idealYeah same for what he’s wearing. I think we’ll get fleece ones too.

We’re in a new build and it’s freezing, I’ve gone in his room every night this week and it’s been around 15.6 so lower than the recommended temp I don’t think that’s the reason he’s waking he’s in a long sleeve vest sleepsuit 2.5 tog bag and his helmet is meant to keep some heat in. He’s slept his longest stretch when it’s been under 16 but it’s such a concern if he then gets illAhh we have a Victorian house and we have the same situation.

Can you get some foil behind the radiators to reflect some heat in? Maybe a draft stopper attached to the bottom of his door so the heat can't escape under there & some thick or doubled up curtains and blinds to block any heat escaping the windows too?We’re in a new build and it’s freezing, I’ve gone in his room every night this week and it’s been around 15.6 so lower than the recommended temp I don’t think that’s the reason he’s waking he’s in a long sleeve vest sleepsuit 2.5 tog bag and his helmet is meant to keep some heat in.

I can’t afford to keep the heating on just to keep the house at 16 degrees so I’m having to put the heater on every time I go in his room so the electrics high instead
