Thanks girls. I am feeling very bad right now, not really with the parents, more just feeling that everyone and everything has it in for me.

I think we all have days like that *hugs*

School uniform: ours isn't too bad. Girls can wear navy skirts or trousers in both primary and secondary school. They have the same uniform in both schools so things that fit at the end of primary can be worn in secondary school :money:

School colours ties are compulsary and have to be bought from school. For secondary school I had to buy a blazer badge and a school colours rugby top. Both schools sell other stuff with the school logo on such as jumpers and jackets, but you can buy everything else from other stores. Quite lucky really as it's not too expensive to kit them out.

When I was at secondary school we had a uniform of grey skirts and pink and white gingham blouses. Then a new head started when I went into the second year and he abolished the uniform. He was new age and trendy and said people should be allowed to wear their own clothes to express themselves. Then all the cliques started with the brand labels and girls with masses of make up and wild hairstyles and stuff. I hated it and would have rather had a uniform then everyone is treated the same and everyone gets on with learning rather than competing with each other to look the best.

Hugs to Tia. (And I promise I'm not out to get you.)

That sounds horrible, lovely. I wish I could do something for you beyond say that it does sound like a horrible thing your parents did and you shouldn't second guess yourself - even if you're blowing it out of proportion (not saying you are) you're right to feel hurt and angry.

Som, maybe I imagined it, but I think some Ikeas have a BFing area too, like slightly screened off from the main restaurant area

Ours has a lovely room with comfortable chairs and lots of cushions. But the last time I went there was one woman BFing in there and her mother sitting in the other chair, and she refused to get up to let me sit and BF because she was old :mad: So I sat in the main entrance area on the display sofa and when someone came to tell me about the BF room I explained that there was a nasty woman in there who wouldn't let me have the chair and the shop assistant removed her for me. </smug>

THREE HOURS of meeting just now, no time for babygate and I'm MARVIN.

Good on you, SS! Have read that link properly now and it does in fact mention a BFing area :doh:

You want a holiday Tia, I'll move Ben into our room for you? XXX

tiamai_d

Nah, I just want a baby sitter for the night and a meal with ma man

Will try and get someone to take the children for a night next weekend and talk DH into taking me for a meal and to the pictures. He's on backshift this week too, so I'm lonely at nights.

Very cool, Som! I've only been to that IKEA once (whilst heavily pregnant ) and don't remember seeing the BFing area, but then again I didn't really look for it. Do remember seeing the highchairs and microwaves :cool:. I shall be studying your FB photos intently on Tuesday night in hopes of recognising you in the rather large restaurant!!

(oh also, DH is prolly going to be there as my chauffeur, but he's promised to sit in the corner and eat his meatballs quietly while we have secret mums talk :rotfl:)

So tired. Hunger satiated, sleep is next on my list.
