Sami - The moses, is it just the basket bit then? Just been reading back and saw your friend needs the stand back. If so don't worry about it hon, I will just bite the bullet and buy that cheap Asda one...I do really like it:) TBH I feel maybe I should buy this baby something new as pretty much everything else I will be using is Kai's........

sorry I quoted this earlier but obv can't coun't to 3
yeah it's the basket and a matress but her cat has clawed that (I still used it but understand that you would prob want to get a new one, not sure how much they are??), you do know the asda one doesn't include the stand

Fitzio - We have a tripp trapp by stokke and both LO and us love it! Highly recommended from us

I fell in love with the tripp trapp on holiday and think if you eat at the table often that is fab but we don't so I need a tray

Fitz I have this highchair, I really like it....it is nice and comfy which is good because Kai takes ages to eat so can be in it for a good half hour to hour at a time. It does sort of fold away, but I just leave it up tbh and I like that the big tray has an extra clip on tray bit that can just be whizzed away with all the slobbery food on it:)

I'm a high chair tart
I have the same one as Mel, plus have/use a cheap beanstalk one from argos, a m&p tripp trapp-esq one and now the ikea one too.

I like the chicco polly but it is a lot of faff to get all of it clean, you can take the covers off and sort of hose them down, put straps in the washer and scrub the rest of the chair which in total takes about 30mins when you compare that to the ikea one that can just we wiped/hosed in less than 5mins.
as Mel says though the polly is much comfier with its padding, footrest etc

The other 2 are OK but nothing special.

Ah right, Yeah I will get one...thank you so much anyway:) I think I sort of need to buy something new for this baby anyway...I will feel guilty otherwise:o

Also thank you, I didn't even consider whether that Asda one came with the stand, I have seen another I like so may go for that instead:D

I have deleted the post cause im not brave enough to have everyone commenting on it.

I didn't see the post so cannot comment, but getting the general jist...

What I would say, is that people come from all walks of life, have different boundaries, varying levels of interest in other people and a whole lot of different experiences.

MSE is the only messageboard I frequent and I have met some very helpful people, some very rude people, some people who I thought were a bit strange but turned into very nice people and some people I thought were okay, but actually they are very conniving and try to make people out to be something they are not, as I have found recently.

This thread inparticular moves fast and posts are missed, people like to have a chat/moan/rant/hey look at me moment.

The idea of 2 threads is good. Would the powers that be just say it's not needed and merge anyway?

Whatever happens, I don't want anyone leaving or feeling left out and neither would most posters, as has been shown by those posting.

As for 'The Club' - if you are a parent, you are in 'The Club'. I see lots of parents around the board that don't post here and I for one am always pleased when I see a new poster here and/or less frequent visitors popping in to say hi.

It is christmas until the last tin of Quality Street and selection boxes are gone. MOTM told me so.

They still haven't gone? Stop getting me in trouble

MOTM - I've been following your other thread about your 12yo. I didn't comment as I've no experience of secondary school, apart from me going obviously <insert rolling eyes smiley> but I think that what you're doing the right thing. If your daughter doesn't want the police involved, etc and you both feel that the school has (eventually!) done what you want and your daughter is happy, then what's the point in making her upset by involving the police, etc.


Haven't seen Mookie on here for a while. Hope she is OK.

Thanks for reading it. Yes, we don't want to take it any further, but school keep making mistakes and it's frustrating. A case of take each day I think.

Mookie posted on that thread and wrote a great letter on our behalf, which was gratefully received and used.

Sugar, I had an EMCS with Millie and I felt much the same way you do, to be honest I didn’t fully exorcise those demons until I had a much better experience with El. (there’s a great excuse to TTC!)

Angela, I actually read weezl’s post and thought ‘And Rose’ but I didn’t post that and I apologise, I should have.

I’m sure a lot of us do the same thing, (the Weezl smiling and nodding) and don’t post, I’m only putting a couple of thoughts down now cos I’m going to tunetots in 5 mins so I’m not going to respond to anything after about half ten, will catch up on that later (and probably not comment)

The daily thread idea, I know a lot of us catch up in the morning, (I do whilst I’m waiting for millie to eat her hoops) and I wonder if it would leave some of us feeling like we are a day behind all the time, and maybe we would not then comment on things the day before and maybe there would be more missing out? (initial thoughts only)

The idea of a catch up post in the OP, puts a lot of pressure on the OP not to miss anyone out and that could end up being a bit of an essay (much like this post)

My Sophie has arrived! (Not as exciting as the fairy-mail though)

Fitzio

Sorry, had to feed and change Holly. She is now staring intently at the weird opera guy on Loose Women! Scary.

Thank you all for the highchair recommendations. I suppose I am looking for one that is easy to clean, doesn’t take up too much room when folded and has a removable tray. I am not sure how important an reclining chair is and adjustable footrest. Money is not an issue, but obviously the cheaper the better – I would prefer not to pay a massive amount but don’t mind paying a bit extra for comfort.

Csh – yes I have jumped on the bandwagon! I was considering it before, and by coincidence tried to catch up late one night when everyone had been ordering them. I hope it comes before Monday or H might steal K’s!

RMac – well done on getting in the e-mail. I shall go and check it out when I get a minute. Are you still up for a Scottish meet by the way? Scruffy said she would try to organise it. Or are you too busy with your new venture?

Has SB been around lately? And Carla? I don’t like to think anyone has been forgotten about.

Mel i have a moses basket stand here the fairies could send! i sold my moses basket but they didnt want the stand??? its a mamas and papas one and i dont think i will ever need it again pmsl!

MM, I love your avvy. So cute.

Feelie, Was your gymbabes yesterday or was that the one today? Rose has been twice now and considering she hardly ever cries, she has both times we've been. I think she gets too tired. Not sure whether to persevere or to try again in a little while with her x
