I have been getting little cheapy gifts for the kids for christmas, so when I get another loan off the uni (next week) I can just go and get the tv's (their main pressies) and kai's rocker:) and they will be mostly done then:D:D
It is so depressing having no money at this time of year

SM, you find the people that tend to use the sure starts and toddler groups are the slightly better breed... They are round here anyway... The chavs are too busy hanging around the shops smoking weed...A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...My Fathers Daughter wrote: »Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

Chris can often be heard singing "we buy any car dot com, we buy any car dot com, we buy any car dot com" :rolleyes:Krystaltips wrote: »I haven't seen the market ads but the wonga guy does need his face bashing in... They're as irritating as the 'we'll buy any car' ads...
Trouble with weaning a baby... You have to wait for them to eat their piece before you can go out!
nobody NEEDS gold! :rotfl:My mum keeps starting full-on rants about "gold you don't NEED" :rolleyes:
honestly you should give it a go, as Krystal said it tends to only be the classier parents that go, the chavs are too busy using bottle/spoons to feed their 12 week olds :rotfl:searching_me wrote: »scared my experinces with surestart groups havent been pleasant not only that but its a mainly chav area where it is .. dont really wanna hear them talking about what other benefits there trying to scam (and i really do mean scam) x0 -

*shudders*
But I do agree with Krystal, I think because there is a Surestart person there the scummy crappy ones stay away as they don't like to be checked up on!
Too many children, too little time!!!

I must agree a little with SM here, well in my area at least, all the chavs go to the surestart tots groups. I always go to the 'other' ones. I have found one down the road from me run by the little church it costs £1 to go in and that is mainly to cover the cost of tea and biscuits, but it is full of nice mummies and babies:)
