Newlawn; If you do nothin else make sure you do this.

A 4 and a half hour flight with a cryin 1 year old is a nightmare.

Keep him/her awake before the flight DONT let em go asleep.

Just before boarding fill him up with calpol, just before take off give him a bottle.

As the plane is goin up he will be suckin on his bottle/dodo which will cler his ears. When he has finished the calpol should of kicked in and he should sleep for 4 hours.

how much ur sis/turf a month cost u per month at mo pls ?
Report maineroad • January 8, 2010 12:22 PM GMT
SIS £1403 starts at 10 finishes at 6.30

turf £610

Turf is not worth it. At 15% profit you need to generate an extra grand a week to pay for it. If I didnt havi it I wouldnt lose a grand a week in takings. Most of the big meetings are on normal tv.

Havin said that SIS aint worth it either!!!!!!

wipes , nappies and food , well expensive out there , maybe invest in a tent thing , for the nipper on the beach , my daughter was 11 months when we first went away with her , things are really expensive

Likewise , gonna give it another year with the world cup comin up.

1995 was takin more than now, and the overheads were a 1/5 of what they are now, ( as well as makin a fortune on the henry mancini, which has now gone)

Newlawn; another thing keep your kids buggy/pram with you untill you are gettin on the plane, DONT send it through with your cases.

Take some swimmin nappies, then when your dippin him in the pool, you wont end up chasin a soggy nappy around.

Get about 10 dodo's and keep em on a piece of string, round his neck.

Let the wean suck your wifes diddies, that will keep it quiet on the flight.
Report el chine • January 8, 2010 10:38 PM GMT
you can keep your buggy right up to boarding then get it back the other end, it will have to go through the x ray machine tho, weve taken our nipper 3 times ,at 6 weeks, 6 mths and 12 months , sound each time, good advice on the sleep thing, keep them awake before plus Factor 60 !! ehjoy
