MSE Parents Club Part 11

glad its not only me that gets 6 copies at a time! i have even phoned and asked why and they couldnt give me an answer lol!
i know £50 is what it takes to fill my car up so having to wait until they move their buts is crap! i know we were really under the estimate too so i am hoping for a nice lump sum!

Caz, my tc dropped by £40 for the last 3wks, but apparantly it goes up by £30 again as of Monday?? I have no idea why it went down so much as it was only because Kai turned 1yr old so should have gone down by maybe £10.....

Last year my pack came really quickly but one of the years before it didn't come till July!!!!

I alos suffer with being sent a million copies...what a waste of paper.

Told dh the Lodge got high approval, he was very pleased as I am normally the one who sorts out daytrips/holidays etc...but after the last disaster I told him I was leaving it up to him. Apparatnly we can have rose petals on the bed for £10 and a champagne and chocolate hamper for £35.

Afternoon all.. have read through to catch up and now forgot what I was going to reply to... I'm inspired by the break making though. I might have to [strike]bake some bread[/strike] weigh some stuff out and bung it in the bread maker later.

We've had a lovely afternoon playing in my parents garden. I left Izzy with them while I went off for my physio appointment, and I do'nt think she even noticed I was gone. I now have some exercises to do to strengthen my knees. One of them is that I have to stand on one leg! I feel like a bit of an old lady - it is like the exercises the physio gives to my grandad - he has to get up from his chair, sit down, get up again etc for 10 repeats.

I have just been reading today, but kindof, My OH has Chrons and all his sisters etc .. have collitis and when Dylans poos went a bit funny we asked about it, and unless he has constant dia wo woo or cannot go at all, they will not do any tests for anything till they are older as they are intrusive and painful

Ah ok thanks, no he is pooing, but looks like it hurts him and he gets really hurt when he pumps but not every pump

stupid question- where would i get a rhubarb root from as i couldnt see any in the garden centre? i thought about asking on freecycle?

My Mum bought us one off a car boot last year but alas it didn't make it in my waste land of a garden...

Dora, Hubby would have gotten a kick in the back for that kind of behaviour!!! Mine asked if he could have the potty the other week when he was ill... I wouldn't let him, he's a grown up, they use the toilet for all bodily fluid expulsions!!

Bath time for the children... Aimee wants me to crinkle her hair so I'll have to got and get my hair crimpers back from 1988 in preperation... Got a wedding to go to tomorrow, hubby's cousin... We completely can't afford it, such a posh hotel... But it has a pool!

It took us two hours to settle him after his feed last night, he had awful pumpy wind, but its hurting him, and it seems to hurt him when he poos, any ideas guys?

If it's just wind, the problems babies have is the wind is in lots of tiny little bubbles that they can't pass. What you need to do is something to get all the bubbles to join together in a big bubble that they can pass.

Two things that worked with Charlotte was "walking" your fingers from side to side across her tummy. Press down fairly firm and you should feel a sort of popping feeling under your finger ends as the bubbles join up.

The other one is "I love you". When he's on his back say "I" while pressing your fingers on his skin and moving them from under his rib cage down to his hip. Then say "love" while going under the ribs from left to right. Then "you" is an upside down U shape going from left hip, under ribs and down to right hip. Do that a few times and you should get a huge pump!

She also always takes her sandwiches apart and eats the bits separately so I now just give her all the bits spearately rather than putting them together.

I used to do that in the boys school lunchboxes for a change some days and they called it a Mammy-lea Lunchable instead of Dairylea :rotfl:

Still busy here but managed to squeeze in a go on EA Active, so I've got jelly thighs now. Charlotte wanted to play and she was doing squats and stuff. Looked so funny, but I hope I don't look like that when I'm doing it
