Afternoon all... We just walked home in the snow that we weren't meant to be getting in the south today! Managed to play in the park and feed the ducks and see some doggies first though

DLA has sent me a form to get my driving licence renewed with a new photo - I didn't even know the expired, but aparently they only do 10 years, and you have to pay £20 for a new one? I never knew that. It's only £20, so not the end of the world - I'm more worried about going to get some photos done - I hate passport photo machines!

Asda have large trugg buckets at £3! Red, blue and yellow. So I got 2 blue and a red for the kids room. They are the proper thick ones too not the nasty cheap ones. Going to go get more before the horsey folk spot them.

I also bought 2 packs of 3 storage boxes for £10, but DH took them to the till. The girl scanned them individually so charged him for 5 (cos 3+3=5), he only realised after he put them in the car (while I was buying food). So massive hooha to get it sorted out. Honestly, 15mins for 2 members of staff to work out that £10 + £9 + £5 = £24 and £40 - £24 = £16 :cool: (I got a pair of sasoon straighteners for £5 too cos my old ones only work if you hold them a certain way).

Christopher made banana angel delight with his SALT today. Had lots of fun but freaked out when SALT suggested he try some. Angel delight is like jelly you see, scary :rotfl:

And can I just quickly nip in that I have given up even pretending that I make my own baby food, Amber has Heinz mums own jars. So yes, I am a big fat hypocrite and I eat yellow snow and smell of poo Got 9 of the 7month+ for £4.00 (or maybe £4.50, I forget) in asda Bargaintastic!

We had great notions of doing it but so far the totally nonlumpy jars are winning out. We might start mashing veg when she's ok with lumps - but when we can buy six jars of organic baby food that's made of multiple veg for cheaper than the organic veg to make our own it doesn't make sense.

Edit: I've just upset a FOAF on FB
My friend's 33 weeks pregnant, and after walking around all of Wednesday she updated that she was having mild contractions yesterday. Lots of people said, Oh no, feel better, and one person who's a NICU nurse said, Okay, hon, nothing to worry about, if the baby comes now it'll still be fine but take care of yourself and rest, and if the contractions get regular call your doctor. Another woman took exception to this because she had two very early (not 33 weeks, like 29 and 30 weeks) babies and started saying how unhelpful and insensitive it was to say that they'd be fine because HER babies weren't fine and the HORROR STORIES she could tell about 33 week babies in the NICU andandand. Someone kindly said, you know [First Person] is a NICU nurse, and this woman is just spilling her anger about her own babies all over the place because SHE was offended and doesn't see how she might be upsetting the pregnant woman (whose contractions have stopped BTW). She also said that 33 week babies are overwhelmingly likely to be severely handicapped and so on and so on - we know that isn't true from our lovely dinky babies and I was a 32 week baby myself and that's DOCTOR SS to you.

I may have told this women to !!!!!! and stop being so insensitive around the pregnant lady. She may have responded whinging further. I may be sitting on my typing fingers as soon as I am done with my edit.

I really want to get a second hand jumperoo for Henry as I think he would love it but I'm too tight to buy a new one. If anyone is getting rid of theirs and would be willing to courier, let me know . I can Paypal.....

FWIW I bought a brand new one for Lexi, as we too are all open plan and have no doorframes I ebayed it when I was done with it and made £7.00 - that was xmas though and they were sold out everywhere so might have helped but they dont seem to drop in value I think someone got a good deal on mumsnet or something though.
