    Buttons, I insured Scruffy (fluffy one) and I'm gonna wait for the quidco cashback to track before I ring up and add Scrappy on, cos I dont wanna miss out on my £20 :rotfl:
    I wonder if I'd get the quidco twice if I did Scrappy seperately? If so I'd just do it straightaway, it works out more than the multi pet discount anyway!


    You should get quidco twice as its separate transactions. I've had 2 contracts from Virgin mobile and tracked and paid out both times.

    Multipet and multicar are a total rip off!!!!!

    Susan and Feelie (and anyone else considering it), may I ask why you would prefer your LO's to be home schooled? I was badly bullied at school, my mum was in a wheelchair, my parents had split up, I wore glasses and was fat, so I didnt exactly get an easy time of it! But I still wouldnt consider home schooling Seth, and I feel that personally I would be depriving him of the interaction skills he would learn there, given that he is an only child and is likely to be until school age (AF is visiting after all this month, thank god!!) Aside from that, I would rather a teacher taught him, as I would think that once he got a bit older I would be lost on trying to teach him things like algebra and stuff, I didnt understand it at school so no way would I be able to teach it! How would you get around that?

    I don't think school is an essential to developing social and interation skills. I think it is more natural, and 'better' to mix with a wider variety of ages, through things like clubs, groups and the like. I'd want to homeschool with a community, like my sister in law does, I wouldn't do it where I am now, unless I found a much larger support network. I like the one-to-one (or similar low ratio) of homeschooling, and I don't have any worries about my abilities to teach up to GCSE level.

    those with older LOs When did you/do you plan to give them 'under cooked' eggs/meat and unpasteurised cheese?

    Sami - I do Katie a 6 minute boiled egg (large) now, and its runny enough for her to dunk.

    I think I waited until she was 2 to offer boiled eggs.

    I don' t like undercooked meat so it's not offered, she does like pate though.

    Unpasterised Cheese - not even entered my head for her to try it tbh, she does love her cheese though.

    Evening, I'm just catching up.

    I'm pretty sure I'm busy on that Saturday, so won't be able to make it. Hopefully for the next one, or we could just arrange an impromptu meet I suppose!
