Anyone got any tips on how to shop in asda while pushing a pram, what on earth will I do with the basket?

Put the shopping in the pram - that's what I used to do for the local shop when we used a pram when Alice was small.

I would suggest sling and trolley but unless you are very close to the shop it might be a lot of work carrying the shopping home with baby in the sling. I used to do it with Alice from four months to when she walked but it was pretty close so not too bad.

Although I have noticed in our Asda, a bit of a pram park outside the toilets where i'm assuming people have walked to Asda, parked up the pram and put baby into the trolley to shop? I'm not sure i'd leave my precious pram there though.

Isn't that what bike locks are for?

Actually, if I was properly :money: I'd have bought them in a neutral colour, but I'm sick of people confusing her for a boy :mad:

Alice got mistaken for a boy wearing all pink except for pink/purple flowery shoes and a neutral wooly hat. And she was wearing a dress. (And the person who made the mistake had met her before.)

weirdly I was just thinking about holidays too. Mostly the annual ski trip and how having #3 would affect that, tbh I don't think we could afford it and that makes me for the kids

I'm sure there are plenty of other things that you can find to do which they'll enjoy just as much. I've never been on a ski trip and I don't feel like I've been deprived.

Idris' mum gave me two huge 2.2kg leg of lamb :eek: They won't even fit in the slo cooker. No clue what to do with them as I'm too cheap to pay that price for some meat!!

If you've got a saw you could cut them in half.

EA, I love discovery fajitas!

Right you clever lot, I need a little poem to go on Nieces hamper. She is 13 tomorrow and I have made her a little shopaholic hamper, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/tiamai/005-1.jpg

It contains -

Little fairy doll (because DH said he would buy her a baby doll)
FCUK cosmetic purse with some cash, body spray and 2 lip glosses
Foot gel and Foot soak
Notebook and mini shopping bag
(from the boots 75% sale )

So, she is 13 and very strict Christian, but a serious shopper. Any ideas?

Edit: When does Quidco usually get paid into your bank? Mine is still showing on my online account

What do you mean still showing on online account? As in still in Quidco? Has the money gone from received to paid? Click on your Payments tab at the top and it'll give you a date for payment.
Make sure you have your limit for bacs payment transfer set to £0 or they hold onto it til theres £50 or summit like that.

Aww I want fajitas now, no chance tho as OH doesn't like em on the bright side he has gone out for kfc

EA - yeay for bibs, we have loads and I really need to start using them as Tahlie has a habit of bringing up milk when you least expect it! Oh and you'll appreciate this we have some superman ones fingers crossed you hear back from council soon I'll be doing mine soon when I finally go on basic smp eek!

Tia - hamper is fab but sorry no help on the poem front, try google lol.

Well watched new moon with best mate earlier and am deffinatley agreeing with those of you the other day who were saying they didn't see what all the fuss was over JP! Sorry just does nothing for me. Tahlie is being a cuddle monkey ATM and won't let me put her down, mind you doesn't help that OH and the dog keep making so much noise grr.

Oh and T also has lots of spots ATM am I right in thinking it's just baby acne iirc? Doesn't seem to be bothering her.

I must be a secret mongolian!!!

I did consider moving there.. then thought.. hhmmm.. big bugs and snakes.. nah.. I'll stay here and tell people to eff off and mind their own business like I normally do.

And as for not knowing anyone who tandem fed.. I've done it.. I fed both DD3 and DD4 for a year before DD3 self weaned when I got pg with DD5. DD4 stopped feeding 2 weeks before DD5 arrived.. so I very nearly did it twice!

Oh um no Susan, I don't actually own a saw....(should I?)
