    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.

    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.

    Well I do have ID, but what are you supposed to do if you have to bring your child to the supermarket. Most families I would think doing the weekly shop may pick up a bottle of plonk or a few beers - are they going to refuse you, because you may be buying it for your 2 year old to binge drink on :eek:

    Quick flit in and out as I've cooked a casserole with some dodgy veg and need to evacuate the nasty stink it has created but I need someones experience please.

    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.

    I always wonder that about people who have a large number of children...We only really agree on one other boys name, although could stretch to three if I agree to one he likes and he agrees to the one I like....

    I have had about 20 different spellings...honestly it's just silly!!!

    Are you going to share any of your names...we aren't real;)

    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!

    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

    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_
