    I KNEW you were broody :T


    ;)

    Kids over 1m 35cm don't offically need a booster seat.

    And did you continue to read and see that i'm swapping this year for a 5dr, 5 seater - and may consider getting my tubes snipped. :D

    Whats 1m 35cm in english? I'm 5'7 and he's probably about 7" shorter than me.

    YAY for normal rhysy :D X

    Rhys isn't normal...............he's exceptional! :p :T

    I love the addition to the sig Sami. Has your head grown all big?

    Talking of driving, someone has just got a speeding fine through the post. :o:whistle::doh:

    ETA: I forgot, while clearing out the medicine cupboard, I was able to pass a full sealed sheet of 15 Pregnacare onto the fairies. (Exp 11/10). Are they any use to anyone? PM me.
    :beer:

    Ikea have cheap silicone ones, but I imagine normal plastic ones would be fine. The only problem is it is a little harder to get the ice out.


    ideally do want the silcone .Ikea, unfortunately is too far away/PITA to get too for some ice cube trays.
    gonna try Bury Market/pound shops see if any there

    all i see on ebay are fancy designs! does no-one have normal ice cubes anymore lol!!

    I've got an array of hats, a pink one with kitten ears is my current fave by DD goes mental when I wear it out, can't imagine why :confused::D

    Tia - how exciting! Do you have a big choice of schools?

    Jillie - I got cheap Silicone ones from Tesco for £1. They do the job, although I seem to have sticky breastmilk! I found the plastic cheap on I had worked better. But personally, I like lego shaped breastmilk cubes!

    MFD - well done on a good night! Toby slept through but in a wriggly way, so I had a bit of a disturbed night. He only feeds 1-2 times a night now.

    Elle - have fun and feel free to let me have some cake for you.

    Home start Lady is due soon, think this might be the last time, I might ask for a different volunteer or give it up all together. She is a lovely lady, but I don't feel she has any understanding of mental health problems. Care-coordingator said I should ask her to go for a walk with me, but I don't feel I can ask that - my needs are far too complex and embarrassing for a volunteer to deal with.
    Stay-at-home, attached Mummy to a 23lb 10oz, 11 month old baby boy.
  • Ice cube trays -I bought a load of rigid ones from a cheapy shop, think I got about 4 for £1 or something like that. I then cut them into sections of 2 cubes. I'll fill as many as I have food for and then just get them out and defrost them whenever, saves fighting with the whole tray, or transferring them elsewhere once frozen.

    I still use them now at 10 months for fruit for porridge, so easy!
