    Weezl, it's a quilted blanket filled with polypropylene pellets in the squares, then one side lined with fleece. Ebay sell the pellets so I reckon if you were handy with a sewing machine you could knock one up. Fiddly with the pellets, but possible.

    OK I just meal planned next week based on your menu, moved things about to work with our days. :D
    thanks :)

    does the weight of the blanket make charlie feel more secure is that the idea?

    I am pleased and nervous about your meals now tia, if they are gross you might hate me :o:D

    This is the sort of thing Weezl, i have been reading up and theres a lot of good feedback on them?

    no sign yet Tia but nursery said if im refused they will do the appeal and it will be awarded. they also taked about the family fund but said they will go through it all nearer the time! i knew someone had been talking about chewlerry on here but couldnt remember who lol!

    am back and forward to the comp as Charlie is having a bad day and keep blowing up :(

    yes for some reason they seem to calm the child down and make it easier for them to sleep? or even if thgey need chill out time (like just now)

    Thanks for the link Tara will look into that one!
    eta you need to buy the blanket and then the weights so would work out the same cost as other, but thank you!!!

    Arghhhh, we have not had such a good day here - it turns out that D is allergic to soya as well * deep sigh*.

    Is it wrong that I am counting down the hours until it is an acceptable hour for a glass of wine? :rotfl:

    Becles did you see yesterday I linked you to my bikini, which is made of shorts and an underwired halter top? And it comes with a free sarong and there's Quidco and codes :money:

    I did thanks. I looks just what I'm after, but we go away at the weekend, so I haven't got time to order it with free delivery :( My Mam doesn't work Thursday afternoons, so she said she'll keep Charlotte for longer tomorrow, so I can go looking again after I finish work in the morning. If I get desperate, I can order it on next delivery, but I'm too tight to pay £6.95 delivery charges really :o

    Also forgot to buy some sandles yesterday :o
    Quick rant/question - Harriet goes to nursery on Weds so I can 'work'. Today they are doing a pedal push for NSPCC. Great. However as she can't ride a bike she is being pushed around in a buggy by a member of staff. Am i too tight for only collecting £8 for her (from me, hub and my mum) I'd make a bit more effort if she was actually doing it herself!

    I'd just send what you have. I never send much to sponsored events, as we just have a small family and most friends have bairns at the school so we don't like asking them.

    Charlotte suddenly said "I really love my Daddy and I love my Granny." I asked "what about Mammy?" and she said "nah - I don't like you!" Then she paused, and cracked up laughing and sweetly said "only teasing" and hugged my leg :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    i'd say now is an acceptable hour if you've had a bad day :beer:

    Hi Weezl

    Baby H has a strawberry mark on her hip, I don't think it's got any bigger though since she was born (well it might have grown with her slightly but it doesn't look any bigger proportionally).

    Our GP at the 6 week check said that she could do something about it after either a year or five (I can't remember, one was for her slightly sticky out belly button and one for the strawberry mark) but none of them bother me or her so unless it was spreading in an intrusive way I don't think I'd bother. I think it's quite endearing.

    Dunno if that helps, probably waffle as usual.

    What's wrong with an outy? :eek: Can't believe they would offer to 'fix' one, good for you for not doing anything! :) Sorry Weezl, no advice on your questions.

    £6.95 :eek:

    Still, it's an emergency option if you don't find anything :)

    Husband is feeling a little better and his blood pressure has come down a fair bit, but there'll be more tests and another day or so. And Molly keeps making these pterodactyl howls that are going right through me :(

    How difficult Hammy :(
    I think now's a good time for a glass of wine too, I'm considering one myself.
