Tara - ((HUGS)) hun - it never ceases to amaze me how effing evil people can be - it is nothing to do with you, it is the twisted mind of someone who has nothing better to do.



The only place that I found that did Huggies Swimmers XS was boots...and for some mad reason there is a size gap between XS and S???

Tara - Just a thought - does OH have any mentalist ex's? Does the 7 years ago this crap happened coincide with you meeting OH?
Hugs to DD and to you - 9 year old girls can be very sensitive! :rolleyes:

We pay for our school ones! :rolleyes:

I'm sure thats wrong - i'm trying to google to find info! It's supposed to be free for all children...................


This is despite the fact that learning to swim is as compulsory a part of the national curriculum for key stage 2 - ages seven and eight - as maths is. Government guidelines state that by the time children complete primary school, they should be able to swim 25 metres. About 80% achieve this, the department for children, schools and families says.
"Schools cannot charge for providing swimming for their pupils, but they can ask for a voluntary contribution to the costs involved," says the DCFS spokeswoman. And this is what more and more schools are having to resort to, because pool closures mean the local baths can now be an expensive coach ride away.

Hugs - Feelie - Hope you're ok - and hope to see you more regularly! Isn't weaning fun?!? (But messy). x

its nt so much slurring as...eemmm, only way i can try n explain it is she uses the same sound for all the syllable sin the word? does that make sense to you?? She babbles away aswell, like comes to me and gives me a full babble all matter-of-fact, and when i dont respond correctly, she takes my hand and shows or at least tries to show me what it is she is talking about.

Awww... I melted when you told us about Poppy being car sick for the first time and saying "oh no Momma, oh no"

Ah, elle! I felt really bad at the time as her voice sounded as though she thought I would be upset that she had dirtied her clothes, bless her .

It hasn't happened again since and I'm hoping it doesn't for a long time yet!
