Beenie - big dif between bmx and mountain bike try googling them. I had a bmx As a teen, fab for about town rubbish for off road or up hills etc!

Kindof - found the tcp so applied that, have docon mon so if it's not betterby then will get her too look at it then. Crap about your check up!

Well Tahlie has been wide awake for hours so hoping she'll sleep well tonight. HV coming tomorrow afternoon to weigh T otherwise nothing happening.

Maz - I think Morrisons have Pampers wipes on a better deal than Asda as MIL got me some yesterday and I just compared them to the Asda one and I think that the Morrisons one works out better. However, I have a splitting headache and I am going to go to bed once I have made bottles so I am struggling to work out the figures!! I think it's £1.28 per pack in Morrisons (9 for £7) and £1.33 in Asda (12 for £9). Let me know if I am talking b0ll0cks!

Off for a paracetamol and a Key Lime jelly bean before early bed. Watched the debate but didn't think there was much covered that wasn't said last week. Very boring and disappointing. I expected different topics. Hmmm.

Mel - boo for garage. Yay for new fridge.

Just a thought as well - try asking the garage to contribute/pay for the hire car costs, it's not your fault that the gear box hasn't arrived.

I had a random thought whilst falling asleep for mums with new babies that aren't that happy, have you thought of this?

Feel free to ignore it as I said it was a random thought I had.

Skintchick had that done on her LO IIRC.

I order J an Amber teething Anklet today - had some good reviews from ladies at sling meet (inc Boo ) so thought we'd try it as the Hazelwood was very plus OH won't be so :eek: about an anklet.

We tend to only have proper F&C when we go up north as OH says they are not as good down south plus we leave the skin on when we cook it and it makes him ill :eek:



Very interesting MDW, both boys have weird shaped heads and Henry was always a terrible sleeper when younger...

My mum loves coming up here from essex for real F&C.

Thanks Jenny i think you're right.

Argh, this is doing my head in lol. I saw a Raleigh in JJB but it doesn't appear to exist, he said the model was "Skunk" and it was £109 which i thought was cheap for a Raleigh.

But in Halfords they had an ex display one of these: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_264655_langId_-1_categoryId_165602 for £80 which technically is a saving of £100??

Or should i stick with brand new??? My budget is about £100, and we're going for 20" pref. with gears (thanks to Mr JJB who talked DS into needing gears *rolleyes*)

Someone make my decision i can't doooooooooooooo it

Sorry, i've been rambling on about this bike for yonks. I am so anal when it comes to buying big stuff though, cos i'm scared i'll make the wrong choice!!

Ex display would still be new and you'd get a guarantee like you would with any other one you bought.
Its just been sat on abit and ridden around the shop.

Did you get to look at the ex-display one? Was it ok, would DS be annoyed if it was a bit scuffed? I can't imagine there would be anything wrong with how it works as bikes usually last ages, the reviews are good.

opinion time please

OH has suggested both of us working 4 days a week so J only goes to creche for 3 days. He earns less than me so I suggested he try to drop a day completely & I will work 4 long days as my wage is higher than his so we'd miss my lost day alot.

thanks

hope you get this sorted if it helps your family life!

all this talk of flexible working makes me annoyed - was told before I left that my job is full time and office based so no flexible working for me but it did occur to me if I ask, knowing I don't want to go back, and they refuse and I know there are no other roles suitable, do they have to make me redundant (and pay me likewise?!)

their special request is fish and chips - since they're visiting Grimsby! Sorted!

was in Grimsby at the weekend and we had to also go down to Cleethorpes to see the sea and have fish and chips

Lou66 says her laptop is broken so she can't get online much but is up for the meet on Wednesday. She wants to know where we are going to meet. Shall we just meet in the restaurant so whoever gets there first can get a good table?

sounds like a plan - did I read somewhere from half 12 or did I imagine that?!

aless02

jenny, was going to suggest the restaurant. It is a bit massive so i hope we can find each other...except i think u, always and som did aquanatal together?? Will hope to recognise folks from facebook anyways!

Bruno, ur prolly working but ur OH is welcome to bring E if she wants to come!

Choppy - glad things seem to be going well with being back at work xx


Oh my! Hubby is watching coronation street and I am in floods of tears!! I don't even watch it regularly!!

Fitzio

Always -
Elle can probably give you better advice, but I don't think your employer has to find you alternative work or treat you as a redunancy candidate. It would be your responsibility to come back to work under your original contract or resign if it is not suitable and they can't/won't find you anything else suitable. However, if you believe they are not being reasonable and have forced your hand to resign, you might be able to claim constructive dismissal - but that's just my guess so don't rely on what I say. Do you think they are being unreasonable and your job could be done on a job share basis or something?

Krystal -
Hmm, Pear, French Vanilla, Pina Colada, Very Cherry......hmmmm.

Goodnight. xx

BeenieCat

Yeah they had 2 of that same bike one looked a bit grubby and one looked fine...

Can't.Make.Decisions. :eek:

This is a rather annoying trait of mine. I guess Halfords is good in that i get instore cashback via Quidco...
