Anyone know if you can put the chest pads from a SX Ventura car seat in the washing machine?

I'm pretty sure I washed mine, 30 deg will be reet

Oh my! I got a call at 5.25pm to tell me I have a job for the next 3 months, possibly 6 months. Talk about cutting it fine! Today was the last possible day to get things in order so I don't have a break in employment.

It is not as good as it could be because I still have the potential of the axe in 3 or 6 months time which is hardly job security (so likely to be lots more sleepness nights in the near future) but it is better than nothing. Well actually it is the best news I have had for ages work-wise!

In other news Benjamin bumped his head at the CM today and has a lovely bruise and egg


MFD xx

yey for not being unemployed!
boo for egg on the bubba's head

I'm just after some advice on newborn nappies.

I know it's a bit like how long is a piece of string but can anyone give me a rough idea of how many packs of newborn nappies (size 1) and how many newborn size 2 I would expect to get through? Just debating whether I need to stock up on any more but have literally no idea how quickly you would expect baby to grow!

Ed was bigger than I expected (8lb 4oz) we used 8 packs sz1 one pack size 2 then straight on to size 3
Yes I'm totally a geek for knowing that!

I'm quite glad in a way Bruno that you edited your post as I was dithering whether to open a whole new can of worms by commenting on it!

oh whats this about 3 months job for MFD ?? You on ??? Have you still got a job ??

Yup - 3 months, maybe 6 if they still haven't got their act together to award a contract (it has only been 9 months so far to be fair *rolleyes*)

Means another move of office but only upstairs this time.


Any news on another course for you?

Aaah, I was wondering what GISI was agreeing to!! I must have missed it.

Lovely pic of Molly, SS and well done to Mr SS.
GISI - well done to Henry for rolling, clever boy.
MFD - good news on the job front for the time being.
Pinknico - is your H a bigger version of my little H? If so, good taste!

Had visitors in tonight so now making soup for OH's lunch and got bottles to make. Be back in 10 mins!

Sorry! Realised it wasn't really needed or helpful, but I was a bit slow to trim. Sorry.

I do feel good about the NHS care we get though, even my OH who is of course not a UK citizen and whose personal tax contributions to the country have been pretty small - I know our taxes go on a great many other things too but healthcare is one of the ones that feels really valuable on a personal level sometimes.

Ta hun. They're sat in the washing machine, along with the highchair straps, waiting for you especially to reply! Will go switch it on now then :cool:

Yay for MFD and Mr SS

Did you call TC Sami? I did skim back but couldn't see

Well done on the job MFD :j:j:beer:

Well done to SS hubby :j:j

I probably won't even renew TC this year, they make you jump through hoops and I always fret that they have got it wrong. Paying back that 2 and a half k was a sickener!! I know I was in the right though, but hey ho, teaches you a lesson not to believe them :rotfl:If we weren't claiming the measly 10 quid a week, would Idris' tax allowance not be down £333 a year? Because if so, then I'll just be chucking forms in the bin, as it works out the same give or take a hundred quid, and for 2 hundred quid a year I'd gladly be shot of them losers!!
