£50 a day :eek: the whole no smoking in bar and clubs i think is great stop people smoking as much and you can actually see to the end of a bar rather then clouds of smoke x

I've just been reading a thread on mumsnet about how often people bath their children...

Anyone want to share?

Every day usually as it's part of the routine. These days we sometimes skip the odd day or two if we're busy for whatever reason and just do a flannel wash. Also had a long phase of flannel washes when she had a random phase of refusing the bath/shower.

Hello ladies

I am just popping over from the pregnancy thread - hope you dont mind:p as i have a question:

I would like to wear my baby using a wrap (not sling, or ring sling) from birth but am petrified about supporting head etc. Has anyone had their baby in a wrap from birth.?

Is it the cradle carry position you used / use?

Yes we used a wrap sling (the kari-me) from birth using the cradle position. It was too short for me to try out when pregnant so I had OH practising with a teddy and then he used it to carry Alice to the car when we left the hospital. Once you've used it with the baby in it a few times, you get used to it pretty easily.

Yeah it's no wonder they say they are skint!

My nana got made redundant last year, and got a large amount of money, and I think he cashed in a pension, they had about 40k all in all, you'd think they;d pay off their mortgage (which they remortgaged for no reason) but no, and it's all gone! Fags, big drinkers, every night really, alchys that can function is what I say, she has 7 cats that get fed better than they eat, plus I think he is a big gambler. Idiots, really.

I don't like him that much he never gives my nana money even though she works, he is in charge of everything, he's pervy, and a general t****post.

They even have big sums of money out with the provident!! There is no need for them to do that, I know what they earn and even after mortgage, utilitys etc they have enough to feed their smoking and feed themselves and the cat.

You know, they pull out their own rotten teeth.....

Button, have you seen the meal planning thread on the Old Style board? Maybe I'm just nebby but it helps me with ideas to see what others are having.

ooooh girls, have you all seen this: tess daly 10 weeks after baby's birth?


now here's the challenge: we all have to discuss it without the use of the following phrases:

unnatural
afford to hire a personal trainer
someone else to do all her housework
probably taking weird acai berry meds


game on!

My niece looks like that after 3 1/2 weeks okay...maybe not the 6 pack yet but she is definitely back as a size 6-8.

I was good and kept calm but when we got home a blubbed like a baby I feel sooo guilty, even though I don't know how the car locked itself. It was just an accident and she's totally totally fine. And she's not mentally scarred for life

Oh sweetie (((HUGS))) I would have sobbed too. Good job hubby had his key with him (although that seems a bit strange ).

Yesterday morning we took hubby to the station at 7am. I just picked Benjamin out of bed, didn't feed him or change his nappy or anything. I stuck my phone in my pocket (thank god) and off we went.
As I came back up the road 25 mins later I realised that I had no housekey :rolleyes: cue lots of comedy phonecalls trying to wake MIL up who thankfully has a spare (hubby was on the train by this time). Had to stop and feed Benjamin in the carpark of an office and when I got to MILs she couldn't find the key.....by the time she found it and we got back home my poor baby had been sitting in his wet night-time nappy for over 2 hours a total of a 14 1/2 hours in total.

I'm a blonde bad mummy

Oh and Button - there used to be a stop smoking thread on debt free wannabe - I found it brilliant when I stopped (apart from one wierdo but enough said)
I used the NHS programme and it was ace - I had to go in every week and blow into a machine to prove that I hadn't smoked. A bit childish maybe but it was the thought of having to tell the nurse that I had fallen off the wagon that kept me going...along with the thread of other quitters!!

I wasn't a big smoker by the time I quit but I was a long-termer having smoked for nearly 17 years


Now I hate smoking and can't imagine why on earth I didn't make an effort and give up sooner

I remember blowing into that thing during a checkup when we joined a new doctors practice, I hate it, I put so much effort into blowing into it (thought she wouldnt be able to tell I smoked so much) that I farted.....:o and it only went up to the 3 mark, supposed to be out of 6 i think?

I think you are thinking about the asthma blowy thingy...this one actually reacts to the nicotine (or something) so it can tell whether you have been smoking in the past week.

It's carbon monoxide it's reading (I arranged several stop smoking courses for work, although have never smoked myself)
