MSE Parents Club Part 11

My PP order came today too. Not happy, the 2 sun hats were out of stock. But the rest is lovely! Even DH agrees

Caz, it is very good fun. Expensive for food though, well, the kids boxes are ok (£2.99 for sandwich, drink, froot shoot and jelly) but the sandwiches for adults and tea mounts up. Next time I'd take in my own sandwiches, sweets and juice for the kids and maybe juts buy a tea and coffee for DH and I.

Was annoyed with the imax, can't take prams in and Amber was tired going in. So went in, fed her and she started screaming (she wants to lie down to sleep will not cuddle up at all), so I ended up on my own for an hour while DH and the boys watched the rest of the film (how to train your dragon, which they loved).

Lots and lots to do, Chris kept wandering off though, which was a nightmare! Far too much for him to look at, so it ended up one of us with Michael and Amber and one to chase after Chris. But kids are just right in about everything (so you don't feel so bad when yours is being a wild brat!).

Badly signposted to get into, I missed it at first then just guessed (and had a fight with an !!!!!! behind me who tried speeding up when I switched lanes so I cut him off (you know, I was half way over when he decided to speed up and not let me in) then he tried to sit right up my bum, then undertake, then sit up my bum again, so I hit the brakes and he had to do an emergency stop and stalled his engine, haha, !!!!!)

Evening everyone

Hugs for delicate feeling mummies and babies.

Happy birthday if it's your birthday.

Yay for sandwich eating and teeth.

Amazon have dispatched Katies birthday presents so fingers crossed they arrive in time.

I had to go and fetch DH and Katie back from the park tonight as tea was ready, Katie didn't want to come in!

SS there are still meals that I will only give Katie with little or no clothing on spag bol being one of them so she sat at the table tonight in the nudey buff then put straight into the bath once she'd finished.

A mum friend from church whose DD is a month older than Katie has dropped round a huge bag of clothes for Katie who has gone from having no lightweight jackets to having about 5 plus 3 gorgeous handknitted cardis. If most of it fits it's her summer wardrobe sorted.

Mel it was a friend of OHs that done it as thats his business, i think its usually around £80 for a normal sized car but would be more for people carriers, we have all the rear glass done but not the front as Fife police would have a field day lol! what car did you get in the end? im looking for a new one soon but OH not so keen lol!

Oh really! I was expecting it to be a lot more, I will definitely get it done then. I will google see if anyone is local to me to do it. We got Renault Grand Espace, automatic, although the automatic gearbox broke a couple of days ago so it has gone back to the garage (it's under warranty) well it's going back tomorrow morning actually. He will have to sort it out for me as engine and gearbox is covered by the warranty:D

We were lucky in that when we bought our car it was previously owned by an undertaker and all but the front windows are blacked out!:eek::rotfl:

Hi Beenie.....and everyone else...

ooo who mentioned Home Bargains... we got a pack of 2 potato grow bags from there when we stayed with my sister a couple of weeks ago and want some more... she is going to try and get us some more but if she cant get them, I may need a volunteer to visit HB and find some for me (obviously fairies will visit to repay).... we dont have HB or B&Ms down near me:( ..only 99p store, Poundland and QD's

I'll have a look next time I go if you like, have no idea what they are though so you'l have to show me a link or pic!

Yep, we have pimped windows too. Its great, folk can't see the mess inside

The megane has built in shades which are also good (but you can't have the window down if you're going fast or the shades will rip)

Half heartedly. As in, I'd sell it if I could get enough to get a Scienic or Espace :rotfl: (which I doubt)

Ladies, those of you who take your littlies swimming, have you ever seen a swim ring with a little seat in it that is not so big that the baby's never near the water?

Edit: Thanks in advance, ladies, I have to take the monster to bed now so will check back in the morning.

Hello Weezlie if you make it on. How's your boobs?

So I sent him today, in a very colourful stripey sleepsuit, to be changed into another colourful romper, with an in your face red jacket and denim (oops) sun cap. Now I know the jacket will have been replaced by the cardy, but it winds me up, he is my child and i choose what to dress him in.

Also had a little disagreement with FIL about the sun. I'm a v. fair skinned red head. I do not sit in the sun. After many, many years of failed attempts at getting a tan with painful sunburn, sun stroke and blisters as results I have given up. He who sun worships and has a perma tan, thinks I am very strange. Also strange that I use nothing less than factor 30 and factor 50 on my same coloured hair and skin children. Because the sun cannot damage you. !!!!!! has he never heard of skin cancer? So that factor 50 that I sent today had better have been used on my two today or I will blow my stack. Sorry big IL's rant there.

ooh I hate the clothes thing too! My mum is always buying ugly clothes for Chris esp pants from Asda which really annoys me because they look crap on him because they're just not the right shape he only looks 'right' in m&s or Next with the adjustable waist. she buys packs of socks/vests/underwear and send half of them here. grr!!
I always put sun cream on Chris before I took him to my CM just in case because she forgot once and Chris got mild sun stroke and threw up so bad I had to call my mum round coz OH was working away :eek: he's not even pastey like Ed n I, he's got OH's gorgeous olive skin.

I'm watching young autistic & stagestruck on 4+1, loving the 17yo on the trampoline, so sweet, kinda a shame other teen boys aren't as nice.
