MSE Parents Club Part 7

Emlou - That childminder sounds great! The first one sounds PAP, don't think I'd be very pleased with pre cooked mini sausages, might aswell give them a plate of water salt and gristle. Mmmmm!

Made pasta in a cheese sauce with smoked salmon tonight, Keira tried A LITTLE bit, said she didn't like it, fair enough (I didn't either, bogging!!) but she did eat 4 slices of garlic bread, and I'll make her a smoothie later. I'm just glad she is trying things now

Susan lovely pictures of Alice, is she cutting a mango in the last pic? She's gorgeous!

its like adult clothes though elle some are baggier than others plenty of seths short sleeved 3-6 t shirts still fit him ok, its just the long sleeved 3-6 ones that look silly now, although he has a 3-6 jumper which is still perfect

OH put 3-6 trousers on him the other day and rolled them up so they looked like shorts???? :rotfl:

right, justr been and had alook, the outfit is bhs 10lb, the blue thick vests are tu (sainsburys i think?) 9.9lb and the white vests are primarche 7.5lb

why are they all so different?!

3 - Have you got my OH? He doesn't notice anything, unless you know it's something that involves him somehow, like him not having clean socks (Well stop leaving them everywhere so I could wash them! I find odd socks everywhere, down the sofa cushions, in corners, behind the sink in the bathroom....) I asked him to do the dishes last night, of course he spent the whole night faffing around on his PS3, so when he said he was going to bed I said "Oh guess you didn't think helping me out by doing the dishes was important enough" Excuses Excuses.

His mum did everything for him and his dad, his dad does not do ONE thing at home, doesn't even know how to make a cup of tea. No joke!


I have very bad hiccups. Ouch.

Today we're in a mix of..

Vest & trousers - Asda First Size 9lb
Tshirt - Tesco Early Baby 7.5lb
Hoodie - Tesco Newborn 11lb

Anyone else's baby as odd as mine?

Oh thats strange, I find Asda clothes tend to be a bit bigger, so Liam tends to be wearing Asda first size still and Tesco 0-3 months ish. Most of his clothes are still newborn/first size (upto 9lb) but we are slowly moving into 0-3months.

Keira is still wearing a pair of 18-24 trousers from Primark, and they still fall down without a belt :rotfl:

Think mine will be the same :rotfl: I tried to sort out all the clothes I'd got into label sizes, but they were such a mis-match (one shop's "early" was as big as another's "newborn") that I ended up sorting them by chest size instead.

Bought cute "tiny baby" vests in Asda just now

Andrew's been started on cup-feeding, which he's taking to pretty well. I had another go at BF and think he did manage to latch once (judging by the sensation). He was certainly much happier today when faced with boobie - different shower gel this morning (lemon rather than lime) - so I'm optimistic for the next few days.

It's the clothes - Alice ranges from 18-24 months to 5-6 years.

Yes - OH had got it out and was looking for a sharp knife and talking to me at the same time so Alice got a (non-sharp) knife out and started on it herself.
