question if i order some stuff on boots for a store pick up but they go down in price by the time i get there do i get them at the price i ordered at or the price then? x

You pay for them when you order them SM, so I doubt they'd give you the extra back if anything went down. They're just dispatching to the store instead of your address.

Aless, when Amber was tiny I used the bottles that came with the avent pump, old style type. Then we tried avent, not having it, breast flow, she couldn't get milk and finally TT CTN which she took. But as you can see, as formula bottles they are so crap.
No nipple confusion either BTW, I agree that it is mainly a myth. A few babies may get confused yes, but I think babies deserve more credit. Amber did start refusing the breast but as I've said before that was more to do with my supply and a lack of time to up my supply, than anything else. (kudos to you all who did try to help in that department btw, but if supply is linked to emotion of the mother she was pretty screwed by that point)

I caved and have ordered 10 jars of hipp organic dinners for Miss A (£4.50 for 10 in tesco, Hipp, heinz and other stuff). DH is not so good at heating up homemade stuff (defrosted in the fridge) and it was a good offer. Go me the great big whatever that word is for slagging off jars then buying them

Hypocrit? But we'll let you off..

Holier than thou moment - I've just remembered I've got apple mush still in a pan on the hob! :rolleyes:

I'd make her pay it MoTM, she must of known! Even if it does coincide with the arguement with Lucy, doesn't mean she can ring Xfactor (and the guy who won sucks so boo too her )

Your not stopping her future, your teaching her a valuable lesson and perhaps get those kinda numbers barred from your phone?

She will be paying in some way. I didn't watch the X Factor so don't know how good or bad he was, but I don't like his version of Miley's song. Neither do my twins who think Miley is :cool:

All kids are different, so don't compare her to the others.

I would probably say a few is 3, so she owes you 243 chores.

Do you think she has a wee crush going on and is just at that awkward stage?

And... did he even win?

For sure, all kids are different and I wouldn't compare as such, but her behaviour is completely different. I'm not sure where I have gone wrong with her. She is great most of the time, but then she does something that baffles me.

She does have a crush. Boys suck, but famous boys don't as they can't hurt her

Yes, he won. By more than 246 votes

Hi MOTM,

Oh dear. I wouldn't dear to assume I could give any decent advice as you have been doing this parenting thing a lot longer than me.

Although, tread carefully like you say, as it may not be all her calls. Are they all to the same number, therefore voting for the same contestant?

I would think it was perfectly acceptable to expect her to pay it all, or at least a portion of it. Even if you expected her to pay the full amount, that amount wouldn't be interfering with her future and it would teach her a lesson. Maybe not get the full amount off her in one go, maybe a bit each week??

Well, i'm still learning all the time, so i'm sure you can offer me lots of help.

They were all to the same number, she admitted it was all her and she lost count.

I'm not taking all the money in one go, but we have an agreement....more later :cool: She does need to learn and it wasn't as awkward as I thought it was going to be.

Hypocrite! That's the word, that's what I am I forgot how hard it was at this stage when they can eat most of, but not all of what we have.

Only 3, elle?! . I'm not quite sure where I'm going to store 36 packs but I couldn't resist the bargain! :rolleyes:

elle_gee

Have to admit, my problem is remembering Rhys needs to eat even if I don't feel like having anything! Not wanting to wish the time away, but I am looking forward to when he's on more than just mush and will do finger foods properly! :cool:

Based on how many I can fit in the basket under the pram, I thought!

Have you ordered for delivery on store before? Where do I go to collect it - ordinary tills? We have ordinary tills, then perfume bit, pharmacy bit and photo bit with counters/tills/people/all that jazz :cool:
