MSE Parents Club Part 12

Krystaltips

EA, Dave and I both got new contracts through O2 and quidco paid on both?

Mfd, Caitlyn's consumption has increased about double in the past couple of weeks... All of a sudden she can't put enough down her neck... (You watch her prove me wrong and not eat anything on Wed lol)

Beenie, I moved Caitlyn up a size when her morning nappies were the size of space hoppers... But she only has a pampers at night and washables in the day... (and we use size 6s now because my friend gets them for free and she has an abundance )

evening all,

i still have a very snotty, coughing, being sick bubba. i am sooooooooo over changing sheets/pjs/muslins twice an evening.

and to add to the woes tonight, she constantly has her fingers in her mouth so i am thinking more teeth will be showing soon (her side bottom gums look very full)

i'm feeling worse for wear but dont want to feel too sorry for myself as LO is worse than me. just wish i could help her more.

reading all the food chat - i am just wondering about LOs feeding themselves with spoons etc. i haven't pushed the issue with LO but she just likes to spin a spoon around and chew on the handle end. she may move it towards her cereal/yoghurt but never tries it feed herself.

What I want is a very very small buggy. I have a great buggy which is fine in my car but fills the boot of my peugeot 206 (which we will be taking) so won't have much space for case (and shopping:o)

I'm assuming there are only three of you going? Have you thought about stowing stuff in other places in the car, such as the back seat footwells and on the back seat next to your son? I had a small sports car and took my boys to Scotland on holiday and we managed to fit masses of stuff in by using the spare half of the back seat and the footwells.

Does anyone have any idea what on earth what pudding I can make for my friend next week, who is allergic to egg, dairy, chocolate and nuts?

Is pastry ok? Not sure if marg counts towards a dairy allergy or not Normandy apple tart is easy and looks impressive.

Line a flan dish with pastry. Fill with some stewed apple. Arrange apple slices on the top. Melt some apricot jam and paint a glaze on the top. Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes and it should look like this:



Sorry it's not a specific recipe as I don't bother weighing stuff out when I do it

Weaning - think Josh was about 4-4½ months old, as that's what age "they" said to start at then, and he was my first so I did as "they" said!

James was just over three months, but he was a very hungry baby and my GP told me to do it. I wouldn't have tried that young without medical advice.

Charlotte was five months old. Mother instincts kicked in and I knew she seemed ready. I gave her a couple of spoons of apple puree one afternoon, and she loved it so we continued.

Craig was making egg sandwiches earlier (Glam will know why ) and Charlotte was on my knee but could see him in the kitchen. She said "eeeh there's Dad making eggs all by himself" in a really shocked voice and it sounded really funny :rotfl:

I'd be well :mad: She sold you a dud pushchair

Weening - Each to their own, think Keira was about 6 and a half months and that was only because she would start grabbing at food out your hands, watching and drooling (though that may of been the teething :rotfl:) as you ate.

She ate like a sparrow though, couldn't even eat a whole jar, so got half a jar for lunch and half for tea. Even now she can't even eat ONE weetabix.

Amber can't sit up for very long, but she seems to be getting there.

I'll see what the size 4's are like when they get here, i may buy another pack of 3's yet...

I'm still tarting around with pushchairs. The Oyster is still winning but am now looking at the Joolz >> OMG price tag :eek:.

Can't find any vids of it though, but the music on the M&P site is sooooooo good. It reminds me of something but i don't know what and it's really bugging me. The music is probably selling it to me atm LOL.
I wanna know how small it folds with seat on, if it can even do that...

Krystal did you buy a footmuff? I wish the Oyster had more colour choices

Buttonmoons

Pushchairs are expensive :eek:

I used a £30 mothercare pink thing! And I got it for free aswell......

I am way to tight to spend ££££ on something to sit in :cool:

Saving....what's that then

I honestly dunno how we manage to blow *mumble mumble* a month, but we do and have nothing to show for it - well Keira always has new shoesies

I WILL buy a new tv unit with next months pay, mine is glass and I swear it generates dust (or it's obvious I do not polish and prooves I'm mucky)

I sometimes go out and buy clothes I don't even like just cause I went out to get something.....blah. Money sucks
