Poppy has just returned from my parents after being there since yesterday morning. Its the first time she has slept overnight since I was in hospital having Jamie and she loved it! .

It was really strange not having her here but I have lots of housework out the way and listed a whole bunch of stuff on eBay! .

OMG, all your tots falling down stairs:eek::eek: Glad they don't seem too hurt:D

Someone mentioned to me while we were there about films that allow babies in, she called them 'scream screenings'.

While I was pregnant I booked tickets for two concerts, one is in May and the other is in June...I am really not sure I want to go and leave my baby for such a long time:(. We are due to catch the coach at 2pm for one of them and about 12pm for the other...not returning until late possibly midnight(ish). Would you go???

On top of that, dh wants me to go out on the 8th of May for a night out in Liverpool as an end of year Uni bash!! even if we could arrange a babysitter for this night out as well as the concerts, I'm not sure I want to go to this either

hi to all,
beautifull sunny day, so far so good then all went wrong!!
i was shopping with my 2 children this afternoon at a big supermarket this afternoon, whilst instore an employee ran over my daughters foot with one of those big stacking trollies.
she just kept on going, i called for the manager, he came called first aid, they saw here and checked out her foot.
you could see on the boot the marks the trolley had left!
her big toe has swollen to double the size, so waiting till oh gets home so i can go to a&e!
the manager said, accidents happen, not concerned at all.
the girl who had done the damage came in to the first aid room and appoligised, well sort of.
i asked for the incident/accident form, and they would not give me a copy.
any advice please, feel so fustrated that they were so uninterested!!!!
many thanks x:mad:

I thought I'd remembered about someone else falling down the stairs Sami, but I couldn't remember where I'd read it. Is he ok now?

That's awful waggy1 and shame on the store for not caring. Not sure where you stand, but hope you get it sorted out and hope your daughters foot is ok. Someone nearly hit me with one of those on Friday as she was talking to someone else and not looking where she was going.

Waggy that is terrible. maybe you could start a thread asking for advice on the consumer board?

On the subject of stairs I am paranoid about LO's falling down the stairs ever since my brother lost hold of my oldest (when he was about 3) whilst standing right at the top of my stairs. Thankfully he wasn't hurt and didn't have too far to fall as the stairs had a bend third of the way down. I was espeacially annoyed as I had warned him not to stand there while picking up LO but would he listen :mad:! Have a stairgate fitted finally but DS1 keeps leaving it open ...I am becoming a stuck record shouting "IS THAT STAIRGATE CLOSED!" all the time.

On a lighter note OH is peeved as he is a bit of a techno head and bought this

only to find lo prefers the box :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Chris is fine now, I don't think he would have even had a mark on him if the gate had been closed (its on the lounge door not bottom step) He cried for a minute at the most and then just sat still for a bit and was soon back to causing mayhem :rolleyes:
I'm not sure what we can do as we can't have a gate on the actual stairs at the top and we were just walking from one bit of landing to the other.
Our stairs are in the middle of the upstairs and the landings are a sort of U shape around them, if we attached a gate to the 2 newel posts there would be a gap under the bottom of the gate that Chris could fit through / get stuck in

Hi All...

You survived without MSE for the weekend then ;0)

We had a fab weekend visiting my Granny - the trip up and down were relatively painless - long traffic jam on the way up, but she slept the whole way through it. On the way back she had a bit of a panic when I was changing her, as the baby changing facility was inside the ladies, and there were really loud hand driers in there. Every time one started up she looked terrified and started screaming, so I kept having to stop and cuddle her. Poor baby!

My Granny was thrilled to bits to meet her and we got some good pictures of them both together, and went to get them printed out for her while we were up there too, so that was really good

Re stairs - makes me glad we live in a flat. Although when she's up and walking and more confident, I will have to make sure she goes up and down the stairs not the lift at least some of the time - i grew up in a bungalow, and used to be scared of stairs (well... not the stairs, but of falling down them) ... i still am sometimes, depending on the stairs!

Waggy - that's terrible I hope you've managed to get to A&E, and that it's just bruising. I would write a stern letter to the head office it if it was me. And maybe the paper if you're feeling really stroppy

ladybird I have a phobia of bridges and stairs with gaps (the ones you can see though) and have you seen those space saving ones for loft conversions that only have half a step :eek: me no likey!!
