MSE Parents Club Part 10

Hi How is everyone doing?
I am properly feeling broody now for baby number 2 (quite shocking for someone who insisted she didn't want anymore)....Elliot is growing up too quick. He's not a baby anymore But I am enjoying playing with him and seeing him learn new things, he's a bit of an entertainer-loves to dance for us and do daft things like spinning around till hes dizzy, falls over the bursts out laughing!

Did anyone else get their email hacked? My yahoo account was hacked yesterday, oddly enough when i was logged in? My friends husband has his hacked too. It took me ages changing passwords, and i got a new email with someone else too, to be on safe side.

We're putting our flat on the market at the end of March, fingers crossed someone will buy it. Other good news is that the problem neighbour's landlord has been tracked down at long last so we should get them kicked out soon! She said she was very concerned about whats been going on and didn't know. Silly cow!

I seriously need to loss weight i am a size 18-20 :eek: when i was once a 12 i really could cry looking at old photos. I used to love the gym but we can't afford it now i walk to school which is an hour round trip ( it could be quicker but i have little legs) so that is 2 hours of walking every day but nothing shifts it. I am hoping to start swimming if mum will have H for me. They have a creche but it's £4 and swim is £4 so it would cost me £16 if i wanted to go twice a week aqua swim is £5 a session and i have just looked into joining the local leisure centre and it works out at £492 a year:eek: am i out of touch about how things cost but that is alot.

Well i got H weighed and he has put on 6oz :ji hope they will get off my back about his weight now but i didn't see my HV again as she was still ill so i don't know if she will be happy with that.

SS that is so shocking about your neighbour, people are so quick to judge, although i sadly know someone who also called the police on their neighbour and i didn't know what to say when she told me what she had done especially as she has 2 kids herself. She seemed proud she had done it. It turned out he poor boy has really bad eczema and screams the house down when his parents take off his bandages.

Speaking of muppets, I am so :mad: that my head might explode. While I was at the office the police came to our home. Following up on a report from our upstairs neighbour that we're abusing our baby. Apparently all the crying can't be normal, therefore we must be hitting our six month old child. Obviously the police went away satisfied that it's teething and not abuse causing the crying, but I am furious.

I'm spending this afternoon looking up the harassment laws, because this kind of business is beyond unacceptable. He's p!ssed at us for reporting him for noise and so he's retaliating in the most vicious and disgusting way.

:eek::mad: How ridiculous.

Is it time to call the papers about the appalling standards at Bristol now?

Just what I was thinking.

BMI, my maternity hospital judges us by looks rather than BMI unless it is over 35. It's a load of crap, same with ideal weight. When I wasn't eating I never went under 10 stone, so how can the say my ideal weight is below a weight I never achieved in my teens when I didn't eat for 2 years? (didn't drink alcohol or full fat drinks either so no liquid calories)

I think a more accurate judge is if you can do a set period of exercise without struggling rather than weights and dress sizes. One day I may campaign for that!

Plus, women over 20 just don't have flat tummies, and nobody can tell me different!

I'm glad they didn't go on looks with me - I have big bones which make me look thinner than I am.

And I had a flat tummy until I got pregnant.

That is such great news! I was just thinking about you and your nasty neighbour last week.

I think it is just dreams, but I'm not sure as she never says anything.



Mine is 29.7. I'm officially overweight, but over 30 is obese, so I'm anxious not to get there! There's no way I'd get into a size 14 though and usually have to buy a 16. My boobs and bum are too big for size 14

Need to lose some weight for holidays in May, but I can never be bothered with feeling so crap all the time. I wish you could lose weight by sitting on the sofa eating crisps and biscuits

That's awful SugarSpun. Hope you get something sorted out. My Mam had a nosey neighbour when I was a baby. In those days you were supposed to put babies on their tummy to sleep, but I wouldn't settle at all, so my Mam used to put me on my back. The neighbour wasn't happy about that and reported my Mam for abusing me!

Mine was 30.2 so not far over, but over none the less!

I had a really really good link that talked about BMI's bullcrappiness with good photos, but now I can't find it...it basically showed a bunch of normal-looking women that "apparently" have a BMI of obese/overweight and demonstrated how archaic & inaccurate it is. BMI was created in the 1840s, you guys, and it's incredible the medical profession still use it today!!

SS, I am :eek: :eek: at your neighbor, but in a small, tiny way it's good to see that German police are quite thorough with allegations of abuse (I hope you see what I mean - in a third-person sort of way, not YOU obviously)

Meeting ILs was fine...I always talk it up to be much worse in my head - I just have zero patience these days...

eta: AHA, FOUND IT: Why BMI is ridiculous

I know it's ridiculous, but like many women I have a complete hang up with my weight, body image and eating so it was horrible seeing it written down!

:T:TI am so, so pleased for you, Poppie and DD. Does that mean it is near enough for DD to go home each night or will she still stay over?

We've just been taking advantage of the Sainsburys 25% off clothing- got some bits for OH, Henry and myself.

SS- Big grrr at your stupid neighbours. They need setting on fire.

I must be crazy - I'm reading the weekly e-mail and got to

Crazy clothes challenge 2010: Promise to spend no more than £100 on clothes this year in the Crazy Clothes Challenge

I don't think I've ever spent that much on clothes in a year. Surely it's not that extreme is it?

Krystaltips

Some people spend hundreds a week though Susan... I went through a few years of not buying clothes but since I kicked out my ex and got financial independance I probably spend about that a year...

Hi Karen, glad to hear you're feeling better... I think we all have moments like you describe... We can't all be perfect

Glad to hear about the weight gain Elasti

Hiya Keeley, do you want to do something Friday?

SusanC_2

I think probably the reason BMI is such a popular measure is because it is quantitative and very easy to measure. I was once told by a nurse that I should probably gain a bit of weight since my BMI was officially underweight. She didn't however take into account that I was actually the least underweight I'd ever been, I was perfectly healthy otherwise, my mum has always been underweight and all my brothers were too. You can't put thsoe things into an automatic calculation though.

I may have eaten a whole bag of those new werthers original caramels. But they may have been yummy, that'll be my defence!!

Tara, fab news about the transfer, I hope they are a lot better there!

Tia, can you SORN it for a few days? Failing that, I think they give you 10-14 days before they fine you for car tax

Jillie, I didnt ask anywhere near as many questions as MFD :rotfl: but she is our resident interrogater so we should expect nothing more
What I did do though was spend time there myself and got a feel for the place. I think I went round for 2-3 hours twice a week for 2-3 weeks, then I left him a couple of times once I knew he was happy. The first day I went round there were no other kids there and she held and played with him while she gave me her huge folders of certificates and things to look through, so I didnt really need to ask about those, and at the end of the folders she had copies of her contract which had pretty much all the answers to MFD's questions!
FWIW, Seth's CM has another baby with him on a Monday afternoon, she is registered with the NCMA so I dont know if that makes any difference?
