MSE Parents Club Part 11

I might have done that in my wilder days but not now Tia, now I'd appeal to their better natures and get two hairy truck drivers to bed in together so I could have a berth.

On a MSE note, it's worth keeping a close eye on conditions even if people aren't planning on travelling because imported fruit and veg are going to get expensive and scarce if things continue. Maybe buying a few tins of Value veg would be a good idea for people on a budget

Things are always so clear in my head...

Maybe I should retire to the sofa

I'm sitting here all miserable, the b!tch postwoman brought information about an apartment we were interested in renting, it's GORGEOUS and really perfectly laid out, but on a middle floor and three times our current rent so no Two bathrooms plus a separate toilet, office, 3 bedrooms, dining room, massive living room, a "wardrobe" room, 20+sq.m kitchen and three balconies. Underfloor heating, cellar for storage, designer bathrooms....

*wants*

But it's £50 in the baby event... Just hope they have some in our store!

That looks pretty much the same as our one, but with a footmuff! I'd check how the footmuff attaches though, cos our old one attached by a tiny bit of velcro at the top and used to slip down all the time, very annoying! With the one we have now there are poppers on the back for a footmuff to go onto which is much better. But the seat is all saggy now, so I dont know how long it will last

On a final note, as you are my internet friends and unreal, it is ok to say that we are at the BFP stage. Only 4-5 weeks in so no real news beyond that. OH is a bit anxious as she is much crampier this time than last, she sees the doctor on Tuesday just in case.

:j:T How did you persuade your OH that you needed another baby?? Well done you two xx


Happy birthday Mooki xx


I am decidedly ill, bad throat and ears, and dizzyness, and general snottyness. OH dragged me to the NHS walk in clinic to see a doctor, waited for over an hour to be told that I do have a ear and throat infection, but as I'm only on day 2-3 of it they wouldnt prescribe anything til I got to day 4-5?! What a load of tripe! I wish my own GP surgery had a walk in Saturday clinic, they would have given me my usual ear drops/painkillers combo
I am so glad to now be able to add diawoowoo to the list too *rolleyes* I really, really hope I dont pass this onto Seth!!

Hows Amber now? Erin has fallen asleep in her pram(thank god!) and i have been bleaching everything in sight lol! the nappies are awful though arent they_pale_

we need pics of the car then! I've not seen an estate.

4 or 5 dirty nappies bleurgh, last one was a complete strip down! Her tummy is sore again, so paracetamol then a wee drink of milk. Put her down for a sleep, she is tired but again, just crying. Will try and get livingroom tidy so I can bring teh pram in, but they boys keep her awake down here.

I did a post on Monday night but you probably missed it!

Science centre was GREAT! Imax was pretty cool (but hurt my head the first wee while) unfortuneately you can't take prams in, so we wne in with Amber tired and she will not fall alseep on us so I ended up having to leave (luckily pram was still there hidden behind a poster) and she fell alseep as soon as I put her down. So wasn't happy about that, there plenty of space for us to sit down the front, nobody was down there at all!

Loads to do, we didn't see everything. Very easy for Chris to disappear though so one of us had to chase him (something to think about with Charlie), he couldn't really go anywhere except the floor you were on but too many hiding places. He did love it though, and so did Michael. Wallace and Grommit thing on the top floor which is quite fun.

Food is cheap but expensive when feeding all of you, so I would next time take my own sandwiches and snacks and kids drinks and juts buy some tea and coffee for adults because the coffee is nice.

And when we were in there was a group of SN kids in which makes me think that it is a good place for our little monsters. Chris was amazed by the roaches and roach vision where he could move a camera about in their tank and get close up *gag*. Also, there is a water play thing so maybe a good idea to take a dry top for any water babies you have, there are aprons but ha! Aprons, right?! :rotfl:

Oh, and the imax and planetarium are on at the same times so if you want to see both think about it more than we did, we booked imax for 3pm and missed the 11am planetarium (which I wanted to see boo).

Oh and its CRAPPILY signposted, but if you go over the river like we did, it's ok, you can find it again.

em, do you have recurrent ear infections? I do and I get stuff straight away because I average one a month. There is a note on my medical records saying that I should get ear spray and oral antibiotics (if needed) as soon as the pain starts.
