MSE Parents Club Part 12

Somnium

Kindof -Love the trainers eek at the price tho! And blues my fave colour. Meant to ask you if you got a projector, which one did you end up with?

Caz - we went to the one in earls court in October and loved it, got tons of freebies too as the in laws were with us lol. Want to go again this year too.

Gisi - have a great holiday x

Som - I know eek lol I dont think they are too bad though, they were £60 but my other puma's have lasted me at least 5 years, so I think thats good value for money lol, I love my trainers so much.

We ended up getting a chicco one, which reflects lights on the wall, cos my aunty was paying for it, I didnt like to ask for one too expensive (it was £20)

Well I am up for the day now, blergh lol I am tired, it looks like its going to be a nice day.

Caz what a nightmare about the mot. Were the police not interested in the garage giving you a fake one then? Presumably if they gave you one they've given them to other people who've bought cars from them too.

Hello all

SJ, I've been having a PMing problem, so I'm not sure if you got my one asking when you'd like the couriers to come with your pool?

I sent it 10 days ago (PM not pool!) Apologies for the delay, we deflated washed and aired it really quickly but then wrapped it up without thermometer, and took ages to wrap it again

kindof how much is Elliot taking at each feed now?

thanks all for the poo and side sleeping advice :A

Tara I love both your classical and non-classical music choices, and it's your day, so hang anyone else

SS hope you and DH are friends again

searchie my career is very very hard to get paid jobs in, so I worked for 4 years part-time unpaid in it (whilst earning enough to scrape by elsewhere) and then finally got my salaried post in 2004.

The post is at a University in England though, so my travel has been 3 hrs a day. this means it's going to be horribly hard to go back after ML. (even if I didn't have a difficult new manager) So I'm probably at a different space with careers than you, which isn't very useful! I'm more contemplating whether a career per se is actually worth it for me. I can carry on doing my web design, photography and graphics for money, and use my counselling skills in the voluntary sector.

The voluntary counselling agencies notoriously are staffed by undertrained counsellors and can be a bit 'tea and sympathy'ish, so maybe that'd be good.

Not very helpful to you I think! So I'm 36 and thinking of stopping having a career for a bit

And on that topic, I have another question I'd love everyone's thoughts on, particularly those with older children.

We're all on MSE for our own money saving reasons. It seems to be that IRL people say that children get very expensive as they grow up. How much does everyone feel this HAS to be the case?

I don't want fergie or kessie to be bullied in school for not having the right things, but I also don't want to have to get branded goods all the time just at the whim of a 10 year old in fergies class with more money than sense. Does this make any sense?

I'm wanting to decide to drop our income, but I don't want to risk fergie's happiness by not having essential cash...

Hope anyone can help!

Love weezl xxx

Morning! Early doors for us this morning *yawns*. I need a lie in!

Anyone know anyone running the marathon today? Good luck to them if you do. It's a lifelong ambition of mine but it just looks so tough.

How's Kezzie's sleeping going, Weezl?

We got a Tomy light projector, Kindof, but it's crap. So much so that I might take it back. Let me know what your's is like.

hello GISI :hello:

he's managing 4 hrs between feeds, so roughly 10.30 pm, 2.30 a.m and 6.30 am.

DH has been doing the 2.30 one (lovely man) as I lost more blood this time during delivery so he wanted me to get a bit more sleep while my iron levels pick up

Does your holiday start today?

xx

I wasn't chatting on here last night because I was reading the birth stories thread, so I was thinking of you lot.

Tia you made me cry!:kisses3:

That sounds good Weezl. What a lovely DH you have there!

We go to Devon tomorrow. Today is the first day of OH's hols, but as he worked till 4am he will be in bed a while longer yet. I'm deliberating whether to go to the Farmer's Market before he gets up, but it is currently raining so I'm dragging my heels a bit.
