hi, just wondered if anyone knows if nottingham boots sell hairdryers???? Need to kill some time tomorrow morning while DD has her operation. Have decided to go to boots and treat her with my remaining points, dont want to just sit around for 4 or 5 hrs waiting. Got to leave in a bit, crying already - youngest daughter just pleaded for me to not go.
There is a cybercafe in the hospital so, fingers crossed, will log in later for half and hour or so.
Keeping it a bit more bootsing - have packed DD lots of goodies from boots - model me and some really lush shower gel in a ted baker bag. Plus loads of baby wipes. Many thanks for all the tips on here, your all fabulous.

Nuttyp,
You are probably there now and I hope all is going well,it must be very hard to leave your DD having an operation.I hope bootsing is a distraction,as the time will pass very slowly.Just try to concentrate on shopping!She will be in good hands!
I hope your DD enjoys her goodie bag for recovery and I am sure you will spoil her rotten.
Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery,
Love
Dot

Has anyone else bought the childproof locks and corner guards from Boots? Did you find that your DC was pulling the corner guards off the tables, and pulling the toilet lock off the toilet?

Just wondering if the glue is not that strong, or DS is TOO strong. We have only had items on for a week, and the table has no corners left, and the toilet lid is down, but he pulls on the lock as he has pulled it off the toilet. Also, now crawling and Standing, so stands at toilet trying to lift lid up.

If you saw my flat, you would understand why DS gets where he does, the doors aren't secure, so he can open all except Shower room! I can shut inner door of living room to toilet, but he has worked out by banging it hard enough, it will open inward and he pulls it open, and crawls off to the toilet. The toilet door opens inwards, and doesn't latch, so you cannot shut it and it stays shut. DS just pushes it open!

In advance...sorry for the HUGE post :rotfl:

I've given up! Went bannanas and childproofed everything, but only caused more hassles lol

Cord winders: Drew his attention as if it started moving, the momentum would build up and then attracted him, which then attracted him to trying to climb up etc, not fun in the summer
Corner guards: Easily removed, refuse to use stronger glue on oak furniture, when he did remove and glue was strong initially the force of him trying to pull them off caused him to wack his head on table each time
Fridge/Freezer Locks: At 12 months he knew how to open them, yet I swore under my breath everytime I needed ice as be damned if I could open them easily
Foam door stoppers: Stay on for about 2/3 bangs then drop to floor and get eaten before you can blink
Stripping for glass tv stands: Ooooo...what can we peel off after 3 minutes of being fitted?
Cupboard locks: Hang on door for 3 seconds, jump up and down and they break, leaves large hole on inside of cupboard and causes child to fly across kitchen, smahing head on wall tiles when landing
Toilet lock: Drew attention to toilet as DS thinks anything with a lock needs opening...removed lock after 3 days DS forgot toilet existed

So given up :rolleyes: only thing I do is have a stairgate, but leave one at the bottom permanantly open unless phone rings as I would rather he learnt to climb the stairs with me behind him as when it was closed the second it was opened he would ram past me and try getting up stairs with great speed and little skill.

I refuse to even put away scissors etc that are in drawers as he understands a stern 'no' and is always bloomin chuffed when I tell him after he is a 'good boy' for leaving whatever it is.

I'd rather leave everything open to DS and let him learn and explore, but with supervision so he does not get hurt(within reason they need the odd bang), learning what is 'naughty' to touch and what is 'ouch' to touch, I've found that now everything is not locked up etc he has discovered everything and is rather bored looking now!

Our parents never child proofed, with the exception of safety whilst cooking(pop on baby tv for 20 mins a day lol) I simply use the top stairgate, despite having a little rogue of a 15 month old it works for me...not sure if that makes me an irresponsible mummy lol

My friend has a daughter who liked to hide mummys things in the toilet and sussed the toilet locks, but THIS has outwitted her and still does at 2yrs

Knew I'd yabber on terribly :rotfl:

Hi everyone I havent been on here for a good few days, Ive had a pretty crappy time of late, my darling dad lost his battle with a long illness on saturday morning. Even though he was poorly it was still a massive shock how quickly it happened, but I was with him all the way through and it was very peaceful. Anyway im in a bit of a limbo at the minute and dont really know what to do. I already lost my mam to cancer just over 9 years ago, and im only 32. So just to take my mind of things Im catching up on the last 30 pages or so ive missed. It really is great just to think about something else for a little while, you all make me smile with your little jokes and cute pics, so keep up the good work ladies your helping me without even knowing it. lol x

Apologies for being non boots related but I wanted you to know that you are cheering me up!

198 Baker St is the one right next door to Baker Street tube

96-98 Baker St is the one where you come out of the tube, turn left, cross over Marylebone St and it is on left hand side, good 5 minute walk

Did not know there was a third...but the next nearest is Marylebone High Street which is another good 5 minutes walk along from that

EDIT: Sorry aureol212
