Tia, if fuzzy felt is your thing they have bob and pat ones in The Entertainer can't see it on the site though, is bob n pat too babyish for your Chris?
I wanted to get them but Mum reminded me that my Chris would most likely eat them - he's so weird!

Sami_Bee

I'm eating b&j's phish food, not touched it since I popped Ed out but it's ok coz it's frozen yog not proper ice cream :A

Beenie - I've been thinking about you while OH is away, I have no idea how you've not gone crackers looking after 2 on your own, I'm close to the nut house lol

Tesco came at 11pm!

I was laughing though cause obviously stuff from other peoples shopping had fell out in the van and they just lobbed it in my bags. I now have

2 Folders
A pack of Simple face wipes
Packet of Haribos
Box of flavoured condoms

Also, the value tortilla crisps I ordered (7 packets, OH takes them for lunch with his sandwich, honest I'm not greedy, plus we like em with chilli)

Well they had none so sent me 7 packets of Doritos lightly salted, so £7 saving there for me, same with the value choc digestives, didn't have any so sent me 2 packets of Mcvities. Also an extra packet of 800g mince!

I deserve extra for the hassle!

Sami_Bee

you deffo deserve extra BM, can't believe how !!!!!! they've been! they should have come and put it all away for you

Actually , the guy took it into the kitchen and was telling us how he was just filling in and he normally works in the store, and couldn't believe how !!!!!! the job was!

They are expected to do 5 deliverys an hour, that's less than 15minutes per house, to unload, person to sign and drive to next place. Terrible!!


Yeah plus they are refunding me my delivery charge and I have £15 to use off my next order and they don't start with XX, so I'll be using my £8 off code next time aswell :rotfl:

Who says i've not gone crackers

Nah it's ok. If i was with the ex it'd just be another person to think about, another mouth to feed, another person to please. (I'm conveniently ignoring all the near-breakdowns i had with colicky baby, and all the stuff he did do for me that made life easier Denial!)

It's ok because DS is old enough to help out with little stuff, but when he's playing up the pressure can be overwhelming cos i've got no backup, so i'm the discipline/playmate/teacher/big nasty boss/mammy all rolled into one and if he turns out bad i can't blame anyone else :rotfl: The loneliness is the worst bit, the rest i can manage. (well, have to)

Sami_Bee

Well I think you're amazing I'm sure Cam n amber will turn out fab! x

BeenieCat

Aww thanks I'm not though, have just been lucky with having such a placid boy for my first - got a feeling Amber is going to be harder work though!!

Also if i'd been with a (supportive) OH from the start i might have missed it more, but i actually quietly hated it if my ex ever disciplined DS because i felt defensive of my boy, although i would always back him up. I spose you don't miss what you've never had, ex was only like a 'proper' OH for 6 months or so (as in, a live in part of the family, despite 3 years together and a 1yr living together), but in nearly 7 years that's insignificant.

Think i better get to bed, i was in my pit being lazy til half 10 today cos Amber went back to sleep when feeding at 8am, and i need to be up early for the magician at Surestart. /yawn.

BeenieCat

Oh i wanted to rant about Barclaycard actually, forgot. They swiped £120 from my bank account for my debt. My own fault for not sorting it but i HATE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rang them up kicking off.

BC: If you fax us your rent/utility bills to prove you need the money we might be able to give some back

Me: Umm. I need the money to feed myself and my kids, plus i've just had a baby and she needs MILK (lie). How do i prove that then, should i send you a photo of us all rubbing our stomachs?

BC: You can send a letter from the hospital

Me: What, to prove we need to eat? Erm..

BC: Okay send the birth certificates of the children.

Me: Um. And how does that prove i need the money back?

BC: I don't know. Thank you please bai.


:mad: !!!!!!? They won't accept that, they accept bills to be paid, i.e outstanding rent or gas account. I don't have these because i've paid them, but the money i have left is to live on throughout March. Still, i knew they'd do it eventually, i just didn't act soon enough.
