Oh I buy those "Specially aimed at children" type yoghurts....:o
Petite filous and munch bunch duo pots? Either way it is quite pricey but when she is pickey as she is I don't mind paying that to get a bit of calcium down her!
Tesco sometimes do 3 for 2 or a big 18 pack for £2. Just depends!0 -
Yeah I do have some of those sauces, you sure the water wouldn't turn it manky? Make grease swim to the top?
I could actually cut the meat off the thighs (as they are fresh) and just make a curryDo I still need to add water? LoL...

Morning all..
I think I fell asleep just after midnight. OH put Rhys down in his crib just after (after he slept for hours in his bouncy chair in the comp room) then he woke up at half one, had a bottle and settled amazingly quickly. Of course I was awake for a while yet, thinking he'd start moaning any minute but he actually didn'tThen he slept through til half six, had another bottle and a nap, now just had another bottle and is attempted a bid for freedom over OH left shoulder
Tine, do you not have a pram mobile or some toy you can attach to the pram that would keep Alexandra's attention while you dig?
Angela, I understood what you meantI originally wanted whatever is the next size to 7.5lb. In Tesco is jumps from 7.5lb (early baby) to 11lb (newborn), but I think Asda's first size is 9lb so we'll switch back to Asda for a while, methinks
Mum is going through the stash of things I bought before having Rhys which I've left at her house to see what the labels say - I think I've got vests from Asda, M&S and somewhere else there
Oh, it's taken me so long to write that that she's just turned up.. will raid through the bags in a min - it's like going shopping all over again!
Meant to say last night, we tried Rhys in his new bath support (well, new to him at least - was acquired from a friend) and he loved it:j
Righty, must get dressed.. Hope everyone has a good day xx0 -
Button I usually cut the meat off the bone and use as you would any other meat if your doing a curry etc in a normal pan.
I usually use thighs on the bone and chuck some reggae reggae sauce on them and roast in the oven for about an hour. you can make ur own tastey sauce by mixing what ever you have out of ketchup, brown sauce, mustard, Worcester sauce, soy sauce lemon juice, honey... just bung a load of it in a bowl and have a lil taste it's usually pretty nice0 -
Ooohhh..
I do love them fairies!
I just searched on Asda's website for a size guide. Didn't find one, but I did find these - jeans in mid-sizes, 11, 13 and 15! Have always said I was a 7 and now a 9.. :rolleyes:
I find asda a bit on the short n wide size even for chunky Ed, he was definitely too tall for them before any others. I find tesco quite slim fit, they were best for Chris coz he was tall n slim
Well I would gloat that Ed slept from 11pm until 8am but I didn't enjoy any extra sleep! I couldn't sleep until about 1am and then was up every few mins from 5am with boobs that felt ready to explode, it was soo painful, my actual chest/ribs still hurt - they feel bruised like I've been squashed by something.
I kept poking Ed to wake up but he was having non of it, then one boob gave in and soaked through pad, bra, PJs and the towel I sleep on and even after that was still rock hard:rolleyes: I tried to hand express a bit of each but I couldn't get my let down to come so only got a few dropsOnce Ed was finally up and fed he didn't want much so I couldn't get him to relieve both sides and then he threw up all down my back/the sofa and it soaked me right through including my knickers!! so we've had shower and bath, another feed and now he's napping on my lap! and all that before we've usually even got out of bed!

Probably not revelant to anyone else, but just in case..
Asda: Tiny baby = 6lb, First size = 9lb, 0-3mths = 12lb
M&S: Newborn = 7lb 6oz, Upto 1mth = 9lb 14oz, Upto 3mth = 13lb 4oz
Tesco: Tiny baby = 5lb, Early baby = 7.5lb, Newborn = 11lb
Hmm.. only bought the M&S newborn ones the other day. Maybe I should take them back (was only £4 but I'm sure I can find something else to spend it on!) as we have soooo many Tesco 7.5lb ones then use the Asda and bigger M&S ones we have.. that'll put off having to buy any more for a while!
Really want outfits now.. I know most newborns live in sleepsuits but now that we've finally got to nearing newborn size at 15+ weeks, I'm well bored of sleepsuits! OH is against jeans until Rhys is 6mths, so I bought some 3mth ones the other day (M&S sale again) cos that'll probably be the size Rhys is when he's officially 6mths:whistle:

tine, I took caitlyn swimming last week in just a swim nappy, she was fine... Expect people to assume she's a boy...
Elle, we have a mamas and papas acqua bath support... Caitlyn loves hers too!
Jealous of all who slept last night... Hubby was on a snorathon so it took me an age to drop off, then Caitlyn decided 4am was a good time to start the day and just wouldn't settle... I have a thumping head ache... I'm so glad hubby has a new game to play though, he was more than happy to get up at 6am to play it and let me get a couple of hours..A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...My Fathers Daughter wrote: »Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

Elle has he had the cord dungarees on?
I only but Ed in 'outfits' that are either a sleepsuit, vest/pants or dungarees because I hate that when its a top n pants the top is constantly riding up so I'm forever pulling it down and his tum gets cold. I've got piles of top n pants stuff of Chris's that I've not used coz it annoys me too much, I don't know why I put up with it for Chris0 -

I know what you mean. I put Rhys in a sleeveless vest then a tshirt and trousers. Or we have dungarees with tshirts or longsleeve vests and then vest and pants type. I'm not all that keen on the vest and pants type - always tempted to do the vest up on the outside, superman stylee!Reminds me, we need some longsleeve vests for under all the dungarees we got in that eBay bundle.
We're off to Tesco later - have a spend £50 get £7 off voucher which runs out today - so will have to take a peek at the baby stuff.. I think I got an email about a clothes sale the other day0 -
Krystal, I finally managed to get OH to stop snoring last night and Toby started!!
OS - I'm terrible, really terrible with food and cooking. Can I just stick Toby on jars until he is 18 and can feed himself?
Clothes - Toby is filling 6-9 month babygrows, just trying to get a last bit of wear out of them!
We went back to bed and slept from 8am till 11am with a 9am feed. I'm really engorged today though, need my new pump bits to come so I can start pumping. Got the symphony for another month, so will send it back after that I think.Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.0
