  • LOL - I can order them from anywhere. I just thought it would be easier if they came with my shopping rather than paying another delivery charge (and we aren't often here to get deliveries so my nosey neighbour takes them in so they know what we are up to!!!)


    Will order from Asda - thanks chick.

    ETA: I've just remembered. Does anyone else worry that RL people stalk them through MSE and read posts? After my moaning last week about my Mum and MIL doing nothing useful when V was born, when Sami (for example) is spoiled rotten by hers.
    Mum turned up yesterday with a homemade corned beef & onion pie for us, an hour later MIL turned up with a homemade banana and sultana cake. :D

    You've all got such wonderfull families :) I never get anything like this (I'm usually the one taking things to help my mom instead).

    Anyone shopped at Sainsburys lately and got a voucher printed off with your receipt? Is that what they call a "spend and save" voucher? I got one the other day for £1 off any Pampers. Our Tesco had a sign outside yesterday saying they accept Sainsburys S&S vouchers.. more MSE to use it there and get double Clubcard points, I thought! :D (if it is in fact a S&S voucher I've got *confused*)

    Your name's on a book SS! You must be really proud!

    This is the first contributor's copy I've ever received and I am smug as all hell today :rotfl:

    However, I did just find a typo in the cover letter I sent to the US job so am a little bit calmer now :o

    Difficult, SM - do you think she's starting to get a bit jealous of Jayden now the novelty's worn off?

    3, I sometimes think OH is stalking me here too :rotfl: (Honey, I'd love a cup of tea if you're getting up.)

    half of it and half just simply not thinking .. she always did have little out bursts of misbehaving but generally she was usually really good now .. now its like shes a completely different madam .. i just hope it wears off .. i know she loves her brother as well as she does always want to play with him and before he was born i bearly saw her as she alays wanted to do her own thing but its like shes gone back to being 2 again x

    My XH snoops on me on here sometimes I am certain of it.. but it's ok cos I only ever slate him anyway.. doesn't make him brin the children home at a sensible time though.. f-quit brought them home at almost 9 last night and they are usually in bed for 7!! needless to say they are miserable as sin this morning and squabblingbefore they were even out of bed!

    my mother should snoop on this site she might sort her finances out then.. I have offered in the past to go have a look and see what help I could offer but it would be a waste of time I'm sure they are determined to be bankrupt!

    I have a couple of friends snoop on me though.. that said I don't think they have for a while because they haven't rang for gossip which they would normally lol.

    Maybe I am no loner being stalked and just a wee bit paranoid..

    To my stalkers.. I'm going out so you can't come round.. :p lol

    BM .. You know, the only approval you need regarding your parenting is from your children.. If they are happy, well adjusted loving sociable creatures you're doing just fine!! Trust yourself and your instincts.. some of the best parents I know have come from difficult backgrounds.. they are just so determined to make things different for their own children. I'd be inclined to tell her not to be so dramatic or silly.. but when they are your own children you know them and are happier about leaving them a bit longer rather than looking after someone elses child and being scared you break them and get blamed for it.

    Jack had me up at 3.30am - 4am, then 5am-6.30am, then OH woke him up at 7am! Gave him his bottle and then he fell back to sleep so we got up at 9.30am!

    just changed THE stinkest nappy yet - bleurgh!

    Not talking to OH cos he got moody in the night, I tripped over a lead & pulled the plug out the wall and he got woken up! He shoulda flaming unplugged it like he always does. he then couldnt sleep and kept hearing J wake up so he woke him up on purpose at 7am :( meanie.

    Need to clean the living room and then sterilise bottles but i really cant be arsed.

    MFD - hope your back feels better soon
