MSE Parents Club Part 12

I'm off to a biergarten to watch the game, I think. Will be leaving Stinkeroo here though. She's currently happily cruising round and round her high chair and making happy little noises :rotfl:

I also think it was a mistake to wait until 25 weeks to give it, since a great deal of the healthy eating benefits would be too late by then, ie folate (should be up to 13.3 weeks)

I was lucky that we had enough cash for me to build the HipGrant into our budget, knowing I would get it IYSWIM?

But some folk would actually have to wait to get it, but tht's possibly to late.

Yes most people don't know they're pregnant until it's too late for folate to make a difference. (Which is why they want to add it to flour.)

Waiting until 25 weeks would presumably be to do with the abortion limit. All the maternity benefits seem to hinge on passing the 24 week mark. So losing a baby at 23+6 is a miscarriage and the woman doesn't get any leave specifically assosciated with maternity (but would presumably be entitled to leave on compassionate grounds) but at 24 weeks it would be stillbirth and (I believe) would result in entitlement to full maternity leave. Otherwise unscrupulous people could get pregnant, claim lots of money on the basis of the pregnancy and then have an abortion.

CSH The postman brought me something very lovely from Kieren's faries this morning. Would you thank them for me - but honestly, there was no need. :kisses3:




I've done the front now, but you're welcome to tackle the back [STRIKE]jungle[/STRIKE] garden. I'd much rather look after Erin.

The front is looking much better now, i'm proud of myself. I wish i'd done before pics. It was just frazzled grass, edged with huge hedge.

Now it's;





Look at my chilli plant to the left, it's got huge ready to eat chillis on it.

The left hand side of the path i'm not sure what to do with. It's only a small square of grass where the wheelie bins hide and it's very shaded by the fence.

Oh dear, i've gone all Charlie Dimmock!

I think maybe I should go and jump in the shower before OH gets home and sees my muddy hands and knees. We'll have half an hour alone before the children get home from school/Nans - what shall we do! :o (Can you tell that it's very rare for us to be alone!)

I can't see the pic

ETA: I should have said I'm no good at planting or planning gardens, I just like chopping stuff up and general pruning

Hello all,

has Tara gone on her holidays?

Yep. Virtual Hen night next Friday at 9pm!

That you back from your hols already?

got-it-spend-it

Anyone watching football? A much better show than the first two matches.

Waterbabies was fab today. We did our first release swim where we let go of baby. Scary but lovely to watch.

GISI is waterbabies like aquababies? I quite fancy taking T but £10 per lesson plus the special extra nappy seems a lot to spend.

We're watching the footie...I shouted too loud when we scored and made T cry oops

Well I am throughly annoyed! Left a conference to come back for a meeting at 3pm which was moved to 2pm because of the footy :mad:
No-one thought to phone me! If I had stayed at conference I'd be finishing right now instead of being back at the office fuming.
They have the footy on a couple of huge screens but everyone is expected to work - yea right!

Caz - huge hugs hun. Love the hammer story, I would have totally done the same thing and can imagine OH's face if I did that to his prize possession I would have also taken the hammer to his balls as well

Pretty good night last night, though he didn't go to bed til 9pm because I got him all excited at bedtime because I was rubbing teething gel on his gums AND ..............................................
We have a tooth :j:j:j:j 9 months and 20 days

At least I assume it's a tooth! :rotfl:He will not let me look but it feels extremely sharp. Bottom left (his left).

Gill - Super cute piccie! Jack is wearing the same outfit today and creche have been told to use a cloth bib AND a plastic one so it doesn't get food stains on it!
