    Beenie, go to the Pharmacy counter and ask if they have any. I cant remember but we either bought one for silly money like 20p or they gave us one??



    Henry picked up Williams bottle of milk last night and started drinking it!!

    I got a syringe from the pharmacy when they gave me the infant paracetamol so thats a good option.

    Yeah i thought it came in a box but didn't wanna say in case i imagined it :D

    Going back a few days here, but everyone was talking about life insurance. I'm just looking at quotes and i don't understand what term of policy means?
    Is it the period i'm paying for it, or do i have to try and predict how long i'll live? Lol.

    I'm only 24 so would i be paying for it for my whole life, or paying for it for say, 10 years and then covered for life?? Confused.com > literally :p

    3 - we got 25% off CT when OH was a student n I was working.

    Cool - every little helps! :money:

    I need to figure out what I am at the moment - i'm not unemployed, but i'm not working or getting paid.

    The info from work about the career break says i'm allowed to claim any benefits which I may be entitled too (none!), and i'm also allowed to work as long as its not for the same hours as my contract i'm on a career break from! (I really need the confused smiley now!)

    MFD :eek: for the same glasses and cards!

    I've just run a bath for me to jump in while V has her nap. She followed me in and took her socks off and threw them in. :mad:

  • Morning all,

    Hope everyone is feeling good! Im not have had a crap morning :(

    Just quickly from what I can remember

    GISI Enjoy your free time at the hairdressers tomorrow.

    Bruno, Elijah sounds very cute!

    Jillie, good news on the bumbo hope LO enjoys it

    MFD I dont think your [STRIKE]that[/STRIKE] strange :p

    SM No extra spending :j

    Krystal, Im always giving Lexi things she shouldn't have according to them - them being the people who make the rules

    When Joshua was in reception and yr1 milk and fruit was free. Now they are a tasty tucker school??? Dont know if anyone else has heard of that, they can take there own fruit and milk/juice or pay for toast and milk at 50p a day for a small carton of milk and half a slice of toast. I think its criminal! :mad:

    Karen congratulation on becoming an auntie and also to your sister Im really pleased it all went ok!

    3 Is it one of those NUS cards? I think you can get money off certain shops and cinema and stuff.... Hope you V and others are ok? Did you go to gymbabes or is that next week?

    Ladybird you made me do a MFD and snort coffee, Lexi hates the hoover and the thought of hoovering her feet with the dyson had me in stitches with images of her being sucked up it that flippin powerful.

    Well Lexi is sleeping, I have a pile of dishes and laundry that needs sorting but I have just made a pot of gorgeous real coffee and I think I need it to give me some energy! Then I [STRIKE]might[/STRIKE] will start doing some stuff...

    It is Sparkle. But that means he'll have to come shopping with me to use the card. :mad: I hate taking him shopping.

    Gymbabes is next Thursday - i'm quite excited. I'm so rubbish, V almost 1 year old and this will be the first group i've arranged to get to. (Apart from sling meets and booby picnic!) :o

    Why is your morning crap already?

    I'm off for a quick bath to mow my legs while V sleeps. :D

    Oh, I forgot. Congrats to Auntie Karen. Lovely pretty name. :T

    Morning all,

    *hugs* to those who want or need them :)

    Scruffy - tried to PM you, but it wouldn't send and actually froze my computer! Had to use the power button to manually shut down :undecided I'm in aberdeenshire, if you're making a list of where were all are. I hope we can make it to a meet! Though I'm very shy so might sit in the corner :o

    Was about to get ready to go out, but Elena seems to be putting herself to sleep in her bouncy chair - the longest she's stayed in it actually! The music arch seems to be a favourite now. She also loves the rocking ladybird which we got her for christmas (the one that was on this site on an offer in argos): it's meant to be for 9 months up, but she absolutely loves it when we hold her on it :D

    Right, may go get ready anyway: if she is awake we can go out, if asleep then coffee time :p The question is, do I go into town, or to tesco where I pass the really nice cafe? (nope! must not even think of that! need to lose at least 5 stone) :o Have a nice day all xx
  • Cool youll have to let us know how it went Im thinking of taking lexi to the one in Penketh, haha I know what you mean about taking men folk shopping-does my head in too, might be able to use it online though.

    Dont know whats wrong with me, spent half the morning in the bathroom up-chucking my guts, sorry tmi! Iv been like that all week along with migraines

    Glam meant to ask you what was that buggy walk thing you mentioned? Is it like a fitness thing or just you and friends?

    3 & AF - I am glad it is not just me who is freaked out by same glasses and card. I have been sat here chatting to my assistant trying to rationalise it 'well, lots of people go to specsavers, there must only be a hundred or so pairs of glasses' and then 'how many happy birthday son cards are there...can't be more than a couple of hundred in the whole of town' and I am still majorly freaked!!!


    Glam - I just remembered that the gripe water does come in a box :o not sure what the hell I was thinking about, just because I don't keep it in a box means it never existed clearly :o I seriously think I am losing my marbles!!


    Sparkle - how is your little lady doing with her walking? :D
    Edit - are you pg?

    Penketh? I didn't know there was one there?!!! What age is it for? and do you have to pay?

    It's a Surestart thing - they do a brisk walk around Callands, you have to book on and yes it is a fitness thing.

    MFD - I chuck the box straightaway so had to think for a minute whether it did come in a box or not but then remembered half the time it falls out the bottom of teh box when I take it out the carrier bag when I get home!

    I just left my baby to cry himself to sleep :( Naughty Mummy
    It worked though - he wouldn't go to sleep and I needed to go to the garage to get tea out the freezer. Came back in and he was still screaming but suddenly went dead quiet - I ran in and he was flat out.

    I forgot to get my pushchair out while I was there!
