Hey Mel. :wave:
Where's your curry from? Someone has recomended a take away in Little S that we should try out? But i'm not sure its worth the extra 5 minutes travelling time.

We go to various ones haha. usually in the town, Simla, Agra Fort or Light of India.....last night was an Agra:D

Which one is it in Little Sutt, I have heard Jandane?? in eastham is nice.

so the mw said i can get Kian weighed at the clinic whenever i want. can i just ask how often people do this?? i know you dont have to go every week but is once a fortnight ok??

I was going every week until she was 8 weeks and had her jabs. Then I did it at her 12 wk jabs and 16 wk jabs. I'll weigh her again probably in 2 weeks just before I go back to work and then I might use my own scales from time to time but wont go out of my way to get her weighed at baby clinic as i'd have to take the day off work for it!

:mad: Can anyone explain why it is that when I write to my friends my letters practically never go missing but when I write to the car insurance company (or the gas, electric, phone etc. company) my letters go missing every single time?

Ry-ry has a tooth! :rotfl:
I just noticed it, not sure how long it's been there must of come through in the last 2 days.... I didnt even realise he was teething

We were like that - I used to regularly check her mouth to see if she had any new teeth as it was the only way of knowing.

r.mac - I've got a lovely tall upright freezer and I still want a chest freezer for the shed! It's probably a good thing there's no room in the shed as I already have such a big stash of food I could get away at least a month and possibly more without having to buy any food except milk and eggs.

I'm not sure - i was hoping you'd tell me the name of this famous, gorgeous takeaway.

Jamdam is ok - but my absolute favorite is the Wirral Tandoori - by Matalan - but they don't deliver.
Apparently one of the head chefs left The Wirral, and opened his own shop in Little Sutt - which is the one we're trying to find. :rolleyes:

However often you want to go. (I never went.)

Just had to reply to this before running off.... It made me feel much better as since we had the kids we cut it right down to parents, brothers sisters and our own kids...then down to just parents and own kids.....this year it will just be our own kids

Parents, siblings and Alice is more or less all we've ever done. (Plus SIL and one of my Aunties because she always spent Christmas with my family since she was widowed.) We would also do nieces and nephews but we don't have any.

If I can get away with spending £10 per person on something Leila related then even better!!

Because some fool in the office loses them, possibly on purpose.

I've an ongoing battle with Barclays over a complaint that they claim was not received before the complaint deadline. I have a fax receipt confirming that I sent it and they received it, a copy of which I attached to the last letter I sent them. They sent me a reply asking me to attach a copy of the fax confirmation to any reply I might like to make.

Send them recorded delivery. It's annoying but they can't argue.

anything important i always send it recorded or if need be special dleivery. then there is no way they can say they havent received it.

no susan, make the most of it. Jas is now at the age where everything she wants is £30 ish each !! or the laptop she wants this year at £200 !!!!

Yes just wait until they hit teenage years -its so easy when they are little - DD1 has seen a laptop that is £400 that she wants this year but her dad has said he will split the cost with me and then there is all the little bits in her stocking like makeup, dvd's etc that all add up. Last year she wanted money to spend in the sales which is fine but I ended up spending another couple of hundred on presents to open as I felt guilty! This year I have got Ruby a little tykes car ( half price in asda sale:money:) and some other big presents so it will look like she has loads but will not even be a quater of what DD1s presents will cost.

Rmac -I remember the phase well - not much you can do until shes walking steadily and then it will get easier ( only until she starts climbing) and the circle starts again:rotfl:
