poo in pool! swimming nappy question
I am struggling to try to potty train my son, it's just not working. that's a whole other thread, but his being 3 years old and big is relevant to this thread.

Cheap moses basket
Can anybody recommend a cheap moses basket and stand? I don't see the point in spending a lot of money on something that will only be used for 6-months max. It seems like I can get a basic basket from Mothercare for about £30 and a basic stand for about £20. Can anywhere else beat that?

Advice - 2 and a half year old still not speaking
Not sure if this is in the appropriate board so mods please feel free to move. We're a bit worried about my two and a half year old cousin. Although it is clear he understands things been said to him, he does not speak, at all! Infact, we've never even heard him say 'mummy' or 'daddy'. The thing is, his mum and dad don't…

Play date ideas?
I would love some ideas for a play date for a bunch of 5-year-olds. (DS1 has been invited to friends' houses so much, I really think it's my turn :o ) The weather's not great at the moment, so they can't really play in the garden. Our house is not huge, plus I have a baby who naps twice a day so they can't run riot…

My neighbour is a nice chap but I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him. Unfortunately he recently put a stereo in his garage including a subwoofer which I think was from his old living room surround sound system.
