Oh Tara that is really awful. I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I don't blame you for being angry with her..

Em- that sucks! I was thinking that Gunwharf would be a lovely place for a meet soon. The Soton soft play place is down opoosite IKEA, near Leisure World.

Does anyone need a lift on Tuesday? (someone local that is! I'm not driving to Scotland to pick anyone up )

What about Lyme Regis? You could have a little holiday first! :rotfl:

I like the backpacks with reins attached .- anyone tried them?

Our walking monkey was a backpack... I really liked it... It's no good for rescuing them when they fall over, but the straps tend to be longer so they're more for peace of mind that they're not going to dash off / get taken away and they get to feel a slight sense of independance...

Mfd, of course you can borrow them, I'll have to dig them out though!!

Just been to Aimee's parent's evening... She's doing really well considering she doesn't listen as much as she should and she writes as little as possible... She currently sits on one of the top tables and has mentioned a couple of times that the other children on her table aren't as kind to her as they could be... I discussed it with the teacher tonight and she said from tomorrow she'll move her to the other top table as the children tend to be nicer and work together better... I think it's more likely she's going from the top table to the second best table though since she started crying tonight when I told her and said she likes being on the top table... I'm worried now we've done the wrong thing

Hello again.

We've had a lovely day out, a quick wander around Manchester Gallery then to a few shops. If anyone local to Manchester needs BF bra's or vest's Blooming Marvellous is closing this Sunday and has got some really nice bits reduced. I got two vest's and a top for £28. They had some lovely maternity wear too, I was almost tempted to get some bits to put by for next time. I might go back on Sunday and see if anything's been reduced more.

Are they going under or something? Our one shut down last week.

That sounds cute csh.

Thanks Maz, I'll grab some tomorrow.

LB- did you see 3's post about the reconditioned zia petite stars? I think they were £60.

No I missed that one. Will have a search.

I'm driving, so can meet wherever/whenever next week. Soft play sounds good to me too

I had parents evening too. Can she change back if she's not happy with it? I hate the top table stuff, makes the bottom ones feel like the class dunces! Erin is top but Ben is one up from bottom. DS1 was always bottom, if there had been a personality table he'd have been top!

Tara, well done!! My mum gets on my wick something chronic, she's the biggest hypocrite ever.

Your mum is a douche That totally is my fave word!

Keira fell over yesterday and scabbed her knee open and was like "OMG IS IT BLOOD" I made the mistake of saying "I don't know, let me see" *SCREEEEEEEEEAM*

and today, me and her raced for the last leg of nursery walk home and wouldn't you know it, she falls over herself (It's always at the same bit aswell) and she cuts her hand and the OTHER knee, and she could see the "BLOOOOD" on her hands. So that was her screaming, not even crying as such, just high pitched screams. My poor lugs!

Anyways about 30minutes ago, I just cracked the side of my head off a cupboard (I always do it) so nice big bruise on my head tomorrow, AND then cut my leg on the oven door. LMAO.

OH says she gets her clumsyness from me, I'm inclined to agree.

Caz, got your addy thanks, im lolling at where you live, me and OH always put on broad accents and go "AUCHTY O MICHTY" kinda the same!

I'm glad the fairies found you Harley - I had something I wanted to time to arrive at the same time but am rubbish and it's still here :rotfl:

Aw, Mrs L-G, you are really spoiling me. :AIsn't it weird how time gets away from you. Been meaning to ring the tax credit people, and my boss, for most of this week and still haven't actually found time to do either of it.

Have you told them of a change of details of any kind recently? Every time we do, they issue a new award notice and recalculate the payments which includes doing one extra payment. You generally get the stuff through the post a few days after the changed payements in your bank account.

I did, couple of weeks ago advised that I would need childcare help from this week but that money has gone in yesterday attached to the normal tax credit payment. And it was for £33 extra so not something that £74 is devisible by and I pay it weekly so can't be a months worth or anything which was my first thought. And they've been paying the usual amount for about 15 weeks now so wouldn't have thought they had only just realised an error. *need that shrug smilie back*

I'll try to ring tomorrow cos it's been spent and if I have to pay it back from my savings I would rather know now than later.
