    Becles Sounds nice. :eek:

    Presthaven Sands is actually a nice park, quite modern and clean - it's just the people there that bring it down.

    We only went into the club area once, to watch the wrestling (not my choice btw!) and there were grown women fighting over who got the front row table first. :(

    We went there when Christopher was almost 1. Really enjoyed it, although was angry that reception didn't have directions to the nearest A&E/out of hours doctor. Christopher got a sever chest infection (one sec he was fine the next he was far from fine) and we ended up having to call NHS24 up here, who called down there and got us a hospital close by, then we went to someone's house and asked if they had directions! He was *this close* to being admitted, which would have been fun, we were due home in 2 days.

    Vote now, will the 'dog folk' turn up this time?
  • tia I vote no... I'm just getting Izzys coat and shoes on to go round to tesco and it has started with thunder and lightening out there... only a couple of mins round the corner, but I think I'm going to get wet! Why couldn't it have waited. Stupid weather. Back in a bit!

    I knew it was Presthaven you were on about... Hubby has fond memories of it from childhood... Wonder if his family was one of those scouser types you were on about lol...

    And in answer to your question about my friend and the dog yesterday, she's getting it from Dogs for the Disabled... No idea how she got on the scheme but I can ask her Monday if you like? :)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Just had the strangest convo ever with my Area Manager. He has serious problems saying what he means like!
    Still have no idea whats happening. He said I'm not getting a 30hr contract but he knows I won't come back to do 48hr. He said he wants me back as an Assistant Manager but its a salaried position, and hes telling me 30hr contract doesn't exsist. Am most confuzzled.
    Wants me to put in writing how many hrs I want to work and my flexibility etc and he'll 'go from there'. Go where from there?!? Invent a new special hourly rate of Assistant Manager just for little old me?! Doubt it!

    I have fond memories from childhood - you mustn't notice the rough!!! chavs when you're little. :rotfl:

    I already have one dog - I don't want another. :eek: But 'they' do say that dogs are good for autistic people. And J does have a special bond with our dog. The dog is much more J's friend than any of the rest of us.

    Tia How dreadful! We only live about an hour away from there and I wouldn't know where the nearest hospital was either.

    CSH Your conversation with the AM must have really cleared things up for you. :rotfl:

    Well my friends little boy doesn't know that... When they bought the dog round to introduce them he walked up to it and said "nice cat" lol!!

    It should really make a difference to him, give him a bit more freedom to walk rather than be in the buggy more than anything...

    can anyone tell me how much there 7/8 month olds eat??

    DD has always stayed on the line in her red book but she just doesnt seem to eat that much, she'll have lumps finger foods etc but just doesnt eat much in quantity.

    normally her day is like this

    8am wake up - 1 weetabix (using 2 oz of bottle), remainin g 5oz of bottle

    12 oclock she had a few spoon fulls of scrambled egg and a bit of rice pudding after

    3.30pm she has a 7oz bottle

    4.30pm she had a few more spoonfulls of a meal, and then a biscotti biscuit, but she wasnt even interested in that really.

    7.30pm 7oz bottle

    it just doesnt seem a lot really.
