  • What, supermarkets won't sell me drink if Keira is with me? Whaaaaaaaat? I'd kick off and make a right scene if that happened.

    Me too LOL. What silliness.

    Mel - love the way it sounds but I keep going back to check if it is tee-yah or tay-ah so I must be in the 2% with buttons!

    Although my friend just had a beautiful baby girl called Thea which I don't struggle with (Thee-yah) so the dye may have got to me!

    Finally got my bath, although not overly relaxing because we are off out at 8 and the baby needs putting to bed! Best get a wriggle on.

    Have fun

  • Yes BM that's correct, they won't sell it to you either if you look under 25 and can't prove that you are older.

    LOL I would kiss them if that happened!

    Harley, Andrew's poop changes colour slightly but otherwise looks very similar. And as I haven't fed him carrot & butternut squash, it's possible that what he poops is the same colour as I wouldn't know! His is only darker if he has meat in the meal.

    (didn't quote as I thought people wouldn't want to read too much about poop)

    I think Thea is lovely as well.

    So tired, still feeling rotten and was watching a download of OBEM earlier and my lovely husband asked why I was watching it *again* so he got all my birth-trauma crazy with both barrels.

    And I have three outstanding job applications and have heard *nothing* back :(

    Edit: Harley, the same is true here unless the jar has lamb in it, in which case the stuff going in is transmogrified into something beyond unspeakable _pale_

    OH likes Gabriel.. and Gabrielle.. He would 'consider' Nathalya but hated everything else suggested. His mother said he MUST have Jon/Jonathon as a middle name for a boy as it is his dads name.. problem is.. we both hate it.. lol.. I being me.. said I wouldn't use it because we don't like it! lol Isabella got a Hmm.. which means it isn't horrific but he doesn't like it.

    I like loads of girly names.. but hate Gabrielle.. and I think with HSM there will be loads about at the mo. boys I like Harvey and Harley.. and Kendall.. and he hates them all. Poppy, Violet, Jasmine, etc.. whatever I suggested didn't even get a response!!

    I am just sticking with Squeak.. it is a perfectly acceptable name IMO!

    I have decided Myrtle or Terence anyway.. if he won't discuss it properly they are the names it gets!

    I like Squeak;) Isabella was on our list, but dh doesn't like Izzy so it got pushed aside, he doesn't really like names that have an 'eeeee' sound at the end:cool:

    I can imagine you would have said no to Jonathon as you don't like it...I don't see you as one to hold your tongue:p


    BM - I would also kick up a stink if I got refused alcohol on the basis of having my kids with me:cool:......I would then walk out and tell them they can stick the shopping up there !!!!, and wouldn't ever shop there again:o

    Right have a little monkey to bag and bed:D

    Quick edit....Yeah I also like Teeee aaaah type but I would spell that TIA:D Dh isn't as keen on it but I have managed to get him to agree to TÉA
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Question, but don't read if you are eating dinner:

    Kezia is now just over 6 months and has been having mostly jarred food (turns her nose up at my lovely cooked stuff:() but it seems to look exactly the same coming out as it does going in. Is this normal or should I be a bit concerned? I assumed she would be digesting it to some degree and it would change a bit but she had carrot and butternut squash earlier and I might as well have just put it straight in the nappy.

    Thanks in advance. I'll be back once the house smells normal again.

    xxxx

    Carrots are the culprit! Try eating a bowl of carrots yourself and see lol! Its the keratin colour or sometink that that???

    I've always said Tea like Teeaa, but, another thing with pronunciation you have to consider is regional dialects. Scottish people don't call their sons Carl cos we can't pronouce it, its comes out Carol lol
    Scruffy says Kaaarrreennn very funny! I love Aberdeen accent!

    I like Tea and you like it, go for it! People are thick and say and spell any name wrong :rotfl:

    I don't think the alcohol thing is actually law or policy or anything? It seems to be a case of cashiers being overly excited with the law. Refusing when shopping with littlies doing a weekly shop with wine is just crazy!

    One of my SA's got caught selling to a police undercover sting child agent thing and had to go to court.she was lucky not to be sacked and fined £2000. Some supermarkets put the fear of god into their staff with underage alcohol sales as they run the risk of losing their license. Alcohol is about 30-35% of sales for most shops so mega bucks to lose.
