Boo/Krystal - wow that's a lot of tonsillitus :eek: Twice a year isn't that bad i know, but i'm such a baby lol. I had it when i was preg too and doc wouldn't give me anything for it, but luckily it wasn't as bad as it usually is. Don't like the idea of getting them out really, especially as it doesn't mean i'll never get sore throats again so prob not worth it.

SS sorry, i did see the link i had it open for ages today having a nosey but forgot to mention it - thanks

Millie is 120CM tall, her inside leg measures about 51cm (20") and as I say the 18"bike fits nicely now

Ooh i just measured and he's exactly the same as Millie 120cm tall and 20" inside leg

The link says the same - that 18" is the ideal size now.

My problem is that he's desperate for it to have gears and none of the 18" within my low budget have them, only 20" :mad: :mad:

Do you think he would be able to manage gears? (And does he need them?) My brother got gears when he was a couple of months older than your son and he really struggled with them for ages. (I happen to remember how old he was because I had an accident on a bike ride when I'd got miles ahead because he was having problems with his gears.) Do you know whether he wants them because he thinks they'll be good or because his friends all have them?

Hi all

KOAG, how aggravating would that be! Our stupid fridge is part of the rental too, and is just completely tiny, with a tiny ice-box :mad it provokes me on a weekly basis. Just can't work out where we would put a proper fridge-freezer, too cluttered already.

Doctor decided Elijah's rosy cheek was a form of infected eczema :eek: and we went home with a 7-day antibiotic course, hydrocortisone cream and an emollient cream! Unfortunately he hates the antibiotic with a passion, and it has to be administered 4 times a day already proving quite a big struggle. As a bonus, it is extremely sticky, noticeably more so than Calpol, say - so every battle where drops are spilt is a huge mess!

Running his bath tonight, he came barrelling into the living room looking anxious and poked me and said "Vatter! Oops! Vatter!" (Vatter = water - imagine it exactly like the bird in Watership Down says "Biiig vatter" - it is uncanny similar )

He kept shuffling from foot and repeating himself til I got up and came to the bath, to discover he had flung an entire toilet roll into it... He pointed mournfully and said "Ooooops Vatter ". Crazy little man.

My friends boy is 8 and struggles as he fiddles and the chain falls off!

I like your new avatar

No he deffo doesn't need gears!! But my ex got it into his head that he needs them and that gears are so cool and grown up and that he could go faster with them.

Can i take this opportunity to have a ridiculous rant about the CHAV in my street?! Her son is 7, about 8m older than C and is a proper bullheaded chav kid who is sly, i spy on them out of the window and he's all nicey with adults but he's sly with the other kids.
Anyway his mother (ugh - she's a moron, everytime i see her she asks why i haven't weaned Amber yet - FOOOK off it's none of your business. And how she weaned her kid at like 5 weeks old or something stoopid. Maybe that's why he's a big fat knacker like his mother then :mad:)
Anyway she was saying the other day how her brat has had his 20" wheel bike for 4 years!!

I was like - wut so he had a 20" bike when he was THREE i don't think so (she only says this !!!!!! to act like she's better than us). She was all like oh you're only getting C an 18" ?!?! Erm. Yeah. Cos i'd rather he didn't break his neck everytime he fell off his bike just cos we wanted to be the best chavs in the street??? :mad:
There's many many many many other reasons why i hate her but i just wanted to rant about it
This is a woman with ONE kid, he's 7 so has been at school a good few years. And her and her freak BF don't work - never have, and get paid to take someone's dog for a walk and they don't pick up the crap :mad::mad::mad: (The Brat asked me why i was picking up my dogs poo, and said his parents don't do that). IDIOTS!!!!!!

Phew, thanks feel better now :rotfl:
