    Thats pish Tia, is there nothing else you can do? Whats DH saying to loosing the money?:eek:

    Going to contact eBay and see if they can do something. DH is not amused...:cool: neither am I, but it was my fault I closed the paypal dispute so I'm feeling very self loathing about it.
    Don't get a Loola or at least don't get a new one.

    I've got one and its rubbish, the only reason I haven't got rid of it yet is that the car seat clips on to the wheels which is useful now and again, I've only used it twice since I got my quinny in July.

    Really? Hmmm... I don't like quinnies though and want a parent facing one.
    can i add i dont even know what the loola looks like ... i know its too rich for my blood so dont bother looking x

    I was like that with the boys, but Amber has affected my mind.

    Although tbh with everything that has happened I cannae be bovvered....

    Hi all :)

    Had a very nice afternoon and we're going back next week. Rhys was very good at the knee bending actions and the waving ones :rolleyes: He loved looking around the room and stared at all the little people, much more his size! ;) Really liked the parachute too, both the breeze from it when he was sat on the edge, and being covered with it when we laid him down just underneath it (like a giant version of peekaboo!) :D

    I'm now working out what my ideal working hours would be.. I don't actually know what my colleague is going to say to me tomorrow, and if it is that I can meet with the potential new boss about the other job, then I need to sit down with him and work out what times he'd want me there. If it's going back to my old job, it's a clear cut 2 days one week, 3 days the next so no real decision to make, I'd have to work full days of 0830-1635 :(

    Intend to bribe her with cake.. lemon drizzle, I think! ;) Or, even better, anyone know a cake that doesn't require butter/marg of any decription? Said colleague hates butter :cool:

    At least tea is easy tonight.. I remembered to get it out the freezer earlier for a change! :o

    Talking about surveys, I havent had anything of bizziebabies in months :confused:

    The last review I did I wasnt really keen on the product, maybe thats why they arent sending me anymore.
    Maybe that's why I took so long to get my second item. I joined 8th July, got a book at the end of August and then some Vetroxx surface spray in mid December.

    BM the potty training is going well, too well really!!!. He is doing pees and poos but he is doing them every 5 mins in little drips and drabs, and if he isnt going he is straining and doing his best to produce something. Me thinks I may have gone overboard with the praise.
    We had a day like that when Alice was about 15 months and discovered she could wee in the potty standing up. She had great fun.

    Beccles - No :( She doesn't get to start until next September as her birthday is in April, they only let 4 yo into school this year if there birthday is before the end of Feb. Stupid rule if you ask me, but then she really isn't ready for school IMO. Nursery is more fun :D I'm away to call now and get all the info about the job.

    Charlotte will be 3 in May and starts at the nursery attached to the school this September. She'll either get morning or afternoon sessions. Then she starts full time school in September 2011.

    They'll be starting school at the same time even though Keira is just over a year older than Charlotte :confused:

    That made me laugh again :rotfl:

    It reminded me of the lady weeing in the men's urinal at the beginning of the Full Monty. Hope Alice doesn't grow up and do that mind :D
    Here I go again on my own....
  • Angela - dd1 sat some Gsce's last year in year 10 and did really well but if she wants to resit them this year to see if she can do better she can do. Also if she did worse this year the original grade would still stand so she cant loose really :)

    DD2 has started headbutting when she dosnt get her own way - at the minute we are completely ignoring it but last nite she head butted the wall and really hurt herself:rolleyes: am at a bit of a loss what to do as I cant remember DD1 going through this stage - any tips would be greatly appreaciated.

    I didn't know that if you re-sat, if the newer grade was worse, you get to keep the older grade - the better grade no matter what. Not that 16yo had any issues with that.

    One of mine used to hit herself on the head when younger when things didn't go her way. The only way we could teach her was to tell her off and punish her by removal of something she liked. She soon found that it was easier not to hit herself. She was 5/6 at the time. How old is DD2?
