Sleeping through the night

Vera is now sleeping through the night most nights, which is great as I go back to work soon. In fact. this is my last week off. Part of me is trying to ignore that and I'm also trying to make the most of it!

Last night we started using Organic Good Night milk, which is similar to the Swedish välling - milk with added cereals. It is possible to buy välling online, but we thought we'd try this to see how we get on.
Vera had most of it, but it is probably very filling even though the volume is slightly less compared to her usual bottle. She slept to 7:45 so in any case, job done!

Vera and I have been out for a few errands as well after lunch. First the local post office to post a package to Sweden. I have to say that we do have the friendliest post office and amenities around here - expecially if you compare to the post office near work. The owner in the post office told me that a large packade would be very expensive (£38) to send to Sweden and suggested that I re-package in two jiffy bags instead. That way it was no longer classified as a small parcel that had to go parcelforce and under 2kg each the postage only came to £11!  We then popped to the local garage to fix a broken break light, I guess dragging a baby along makes for friendly service, but the guy changed it there & then and only charged me 85p for the light bulb! I am all for supporting local services and even more so inclined now! Easier said than done though, when you're working full time in another part of town, but where possible I definately will!
