MSE Parents Club Part 11

elastigirl

umm yummy i have finally just managed to get a cuppa and a bacon sarni so naughty but so nice.
Baby group was ok, I walked in and there were 6 ladies but they were in groups of 2 there children were all 6 months and older. I felt i couldn't butt in as they were talking about their hubbys and arranging to go to places together like the baby show and for lunch etc. They def knew each other before they had kids. Then after about 30 long mins 2 ladies came in with babies the same age as H but apart from how old are they?What are their names etc we didn't speak much as they were also very quiet and we didn't know what to say, we said a few bits but not great conversations but it's a start.
They weren't my age which doesn't matter as all my friends are older than me, i would like to find someone my own age too.
What was really good at 11 they came around with toast and juice for the mums. Then there was a session of singing and music so that helps pass the time. H screamed the place down at one point, a 6 month old grabbed him by the cheek and took a good chunk out of his already poorly skin. It bled and looks bad now.
I tell you what though i didn't like sitting on the floor for 2 1/2 hrs I ache all over. My section scar, tummy and back ached from bending over and i had numb legs and bum.
We will def keep going though.

Grr at tax credits Sami. I don't trust them at all. Beating a dead horse here but RAWWWWRRRRRRR I hate them.

Blood tests went okay thanks, Keira was fascinated with my blood splurting in the tubes. Then I scoffed some pick a mix because I decided we would ditch nursery and go see how to train your dragon 3D. Wish we had went to the vue they charged me £16.90 for me and her to see it, and £1.60 for the 3D glasses WHICH vue give you FREE AND they give you child size ones so poor keira had to keep pushing them up her chops.

Some brat was loudly proclaiming about my smoking outside the shopping center (Class trip out) so I told him that it was drugs I was smoking and 3 seconds breathing in some smoke won't kill him because he probably has cancer anyways.

Honestly. ILL SMOKE IF I WANT!! Wasn't even blowing it near him, not my fault he CHOSE to come stand next to me. I hate children.

Ahh Tia. Hope you get better soon too. No fun being an ill mummy, coz you don't get to lie in bed and die.

I'm feeling a bit better today, woke up hungry rather than sick, but the diawoowoo has hit me today

Tia, how are your parents doing these days? (without the cafe to keep them occupied I mean)

Oh don't get me started on them. Had an argument with DH yesterday because they called up to say they couldn't make it to Christophers party because they were tired, mum was at a dog fair running a stall, so DH got stroppy and started moaning about them. He is right, but unlike him, I know better than to waste my time moaning about them. I love them, but, well, they wouldn't be my circle of friends if you know what I mean. As for how they are getting on, no idea, I don't really listen to them. My brother has a new job anyway in one of the hotel/restaurants near by, but he is a damn good chef.

nevermind elle, I think the phone bill is my best bet.

Does anyone know enough about TC's to know if you get more if in receipt of income based JSA? I might be gearing up for a fight that doesn't exist, maybe they owe us even ???
off to find the calculator thing I think.

today is quickly becoming a total farce!

elle, not been searching for the phone bill the lower half has won the hormone battle do you think it's ok to use tampons that are in boxes that had a layer dust dust on them and have been in the bathroom cupboard for around 2yrs? should I chuck them and get some new ones asap?

Kindof, true blood was great! (season 2 on FX?) But big head vamp is planning something, he can't be that nice....

Sami, if the tampons themselves are ok, use them. (but if you are anything like me it will takes ages to relearn how to use the bloody things)

Sami not to put a downer on your situ, but they thought that I was a single parent even though I told them I was living with idris (mysteriously couldnt find the phonecall) and he had been on JSA the whole time, so it was easy to check that no-one had been working etc, but they made me pay it all back AND if they hadn't messed up, I would of actually been getting paid more per week. They are basterwards

Sami, the box of Tampax lurking in my bathroom cabinet says it was made in June 2009 and they "expire" in June 2014

we have this one (in blue) and Kian loves it. he can splash with his hands or feet, play with his toys and i'm not worrying about holding a slippy baby in the bath. only thing is i cant get him to slope abit so i can clean his neck as he still hates being laid down in the water.

mum bought ours in a charity shop for a few euro. i'm keeping it for next one wheter its boy or girl as its fab.

our friend had the asda event one and their little boy got stuck as he;s such a chunky monkey.

I think I'll call my HV, I'm a bit worried about things he does with his feet aswell and it's pot luck if you get a good HV at clinic or not, last few times I've been it was the crap one that talks to you like your a moron that doesn't understand words longer than 3 syllables

We have a really crap one that I hate and I always try to avoid her. Shes just gone on Maternity Leave. Is it wrong that I wish a 13lb baby with a 50cm head circumference upon her??

Not an expert but income based JSA would mean low income to me so I think you'd get more because of that?
