  • Ooh, I love the Sainsburys 1/3 off baby toiletries, although not sure that we need anything at the moment.

    Its 1/3 off all baby products inc bottles, teats, wipes etc ... lasts till 20th ...just updating my spreadsheet to see who is cheapest for nappies etc at moment

    They usually have half price toiletries as well that goes on a month or so after the 3rd off deals so unless I'm running out I wait til then and then stock up!

    The nappies only ever go 3rd off not included when they do half price deal

    So, the quivering lip.
    money maker - it is now and again, when he's quiet, sad, thoughtful, and no he's not growing out of it grr

    Hi Agutka :)

    Is it possible that he's upset and the quivering is an emotional response rather than being totally muscular? Have you tried asking him how he feels or what he's thinking about when it happens?

    Just a thought - I could be way off but it occurred to me that if it's happening when he looks sad he might just be sad.

  • Which reminds me - Sainsburys are doing some great vouchers at the till these days. The other day I got a £2.50 off any pampers economy pack voucher - now that is deffo gonna make the 1/3 off nappies the cheapest around :D


    Just need to find the time/inclination to go and buy some now!

    Feeling v sleepy, not sure if it is the fan heater blowing on my feet or the fact that I haven't slept for longer than 5 1/2 hours in one go for weeks but I could just put my head down and have a nap :o

    hi all,

    just been out this lunch to brave the slippery paths. made it back without falling thank goodness.

    not sure who mentioned it, but i too need to look at getting the slow cooker out, although as LO seems to prefer BLW so i'm not sure what i can do in the slow cooker that she will have. she's not a meat eater so will need to think about that.

    had a chat with a work colleague about LO and she said the same as everyone on here, but i still feel pants. just want this sorted. would happily pay someone to do it

    Agutka - Keira has a bad diet and had dummy dependency, my fault also. The dummy, I took off her at 3 as she had went from bed time use to all day use and she had an open bite, her mouth has corrected itself but one of her front teeth slightly overlaps the next one now, but that's fine.

    What is his fussy eating like? At one point all Keira would eat was chicken nuggets and toast :eek: She will now eat

    Peas
    Most fruit
    Yoghurts
    Toast
    Cereal
    Eggs
    Fish
    Rice

    So really it's carb central, not much meat either but she's happy, got plenty of energy, just got to try and not fret really, as I know me sitting pleading with her to eat a carrot has given the wee moo a sense of control!

    Poole is 2 trains away from me, would take about 2 hours. Probably manageable. Why Poole though?

    It's middle distance for the people driving the most, ie: hour and half. Am up for any suggestions though but thought Tower Park would be ideal as we can all park and perhaps have lunch there!

    Mookie - Isn't 15lbs a good weight? I really have no clue myself lol, I never bothered getting Keira weighed as a baby but she was a bit of a chunker.


    Just consulted the red book. If the scales were correct then she would be on 9th centile for weight (was on 25th) but between 91st and 98th for height. Either way she's a long stringy little thing (who's now eating the tape measure - you see I dont feed her really!).

    We have already started Maddy on the same path as the others with food. So if Mummy or Daddy are eating then 'I wanna try' and she does, Ben still does it now at 6. Absolutely anything, if I ate coal he'd have a go!
