MSE Parents Club Part 13

Sami_Bee

This is a continuation of the Parents Club part 12 which can be found HERE. Part 12 was eventually closed due to the length of it

All parents are welcome, mums & dads with children of any age. We're also happy to help people who just have questions about kids, even if you don't have any yet.

This is a place of mutual support, so feel free to ask and answer whatever you want. Feel free also just to moan if that will help!

Suggestions to keep the thread running smoothly

• Put questions or anything you don't want to be missed in bold and or colour or use a smiley
  
• Put an indication of age of child either in signature or in posts where it is relevant for people to understand/reply to a post.
• If you don't get a response to something, post it again.
• If you are replying to someone, make sure you either quote them or use their name so that if they don't read through everything they can find your post.

You lot would be the first to know if I was I'm actually having the worst period of my life at the moment, the cramps are killing me, I've been in the bath the past 2 hours :cool: and I'm bleeding so heavy that I'm having to change tampon every hour or so.

How's little tea doing?

Gah.. our swimming has been cancelled for tomorrow - read the txt just as I was walking back to the car from buying a swim body-keep-warmy thing from Mothercare :doh: Going next week, regular Sunday thing anyhow

On the bright side, I found a Mothercare giftcard in my purse which turned out to have £10 on, hurrah!

Couldn't find anything I liked in Boots/MiniMode, despite having £25 vouchers (from the engage mutual CTF thing) to spend! Will have to find a bigger Boots with a better selection.. :cool:
