    I don't - but the landlords don't know that ;)

    Most of the patients I deal with have medically unexplained pain or eating disorders, so nothing scary. We do have the children's psychiatry unit next door, which is heartbreaking.

    am upto £8 on the bumbo.
    DH doesnt know i'm bidding on it though...
    plan is to bring it to ireland so K has summat to sit in/on at my mums so he;s not in buggy or highcahir all the time.
    then leave it in ireland and sis/bro gonna sell it on ebay ireland as they are never on there so would easily make the money back as sellers charge £15+ to post bumbo to ireland from here

    Hey Glam, I never had anything set in stone for lexi, but your much more organised than me ;) I just used to make little batches of food and pull stuff from the freezer each day if I needed it. We eat alot of fresh veg so I would usually leave some over and whizz it then that was lexi sorted for the next day.
    Sorry that didnt really answer your Q at all did it?

    its all in the freezer in little cubes :) oh well he's got pear today so will try n mix it up a bit. SS - I could do 1 cube of potato and one of apple in seperate pots and then if he doesn't like potato mix it with the apple GENIUS! Gonna try stuff individually first just in case he reacts to anything.

    I've just remembered I've got some carrots that need doing so might do that this afternoon.
    I've done nothing all day and J has gone down for another nap.

    Sparkle - Do you go to the ASDA @ Westbrook?
    I need to pop in today as I forgot rolls for OH's lunch & I've run out of formula :doh:

    sil was in with alcohol probs (mixed with bi-polar is not good) and we suspect some drug abuse but that has never been comfirmed.

    I wouldn't have thought it cost that much! I sent a big parcel to Ireland - I said £16 postage but it was £11 so I refunded them a fiver cos I didn't know how much it would be (yes, I did use the website) and didn't want to be out of pocket.

    I always take the Bumbo - easier than bouncy chair and means I can feed him without faffing with the highchair. Although he tries to escape the Bumbo by stretching backwards and is now trying to sit forward in his bouncy chair :eek:

    How much r u going to go up to? They were £25 in Mothercare with the tray

    Sometimes if I really really have to LoL - I do it all online! I dont mind popping into supermarkets for a basket of stuff but cant stand going in for a big shop! Plus OH is a nightmare and with me STILL supposedly learning to drive I have to take him with me or get him to meet me just as Im checking out and I cant be a$$ed with all the rude people who hog space and leave trolleys everywhere! Wow didnt mean to come out as such a mini rant. Anyway I actually live in widnes now but I still spend my life in warrington, Josh goes to school there and its a bit of a nightmare..... long story :rotfl:
