Sami, she's just gone into 6-9 so i think it'll be winter time before she's in 9-12... maybe one of the biggers would get use? Thanks though

I am waiting for it to be warm enough to wear the lovely dresses MM sent me ages ago! She demanded pics

Redstar we have tried Relate before but we couldn't afford to keep going cos even when they reduced it for us it was still £20 a time and we were skint, and tbh i wasn't sure how much it was helping. But then again we only went a few times...

Ouch! :eek: I had no idea it was so expensive, sorry .

Is it bad to give Amber bread too much? Cos like, she had cheese on toast two days in a row for lunch and i'm thinking of doing eggy bread today cos she loves it. And she has half of my toast after her breakfast everyday... None for tea though? Oh and she loves toasted teackes... i've bought some reduced salt butter cos i was getting a bit paranoid

Also, she likes cottage cheese, is she allowed it?? lol... she had some on a Ryvita yesterday. I keep giving her anything and everything that i'm eating and i'm sure some of it is prob bad for her.

Feels like all she does all day is eat!! She's always got rice cakes or something in her hand. I think i'm fattening her up too much, i'll be moaning when she needs new clothes :cool:

Henry has bread for lunch almost everyday and it doesn't seem to cause any problems. Not sure on cottage cheese. I can't see why they can't have it- does it have much salt in it? Although I'm guessing Amber only has a small quantity of it anyway so I wouldn't worry too much.

Sorry to bring up the subject of emotional !!!!wit Dads. Mine has been and gone- he stayed a whole hour! Anyhoo, I am unfair on him and clearly he is not as bad as some. He is actually a nice guy and I like seeing him....although don't get me started on my evil stepmother :rotfl:.

We're off to rhyme time which I love, and is free .

Can I rant please?

I have a wedding to go to tomorrow, it's my Uncle johns wedding, now they rarely talk to me, can't remember when i last spoke to them but i was invited "ALL DAY" at the wedding, now I didn't RSVP cause I didn't know the plans etc, well he went and booked us all in for the meal, well Idris can't go (and also why invite him when we ain't together and John used to call Idris a gook and said that keira looked like one as a baby but ignoring that....) so now he's raging at me about the £28 lost on the meal, and hinting for me to give him it, he can sod right off! I am utterly skint right now, had the dentist yesterday and my root canal has a crack so I need a crown - £100 :eek: - Anyways, I'm getting well Irate at the comments about this £28, it's not MY fault Idris didn't go, and I don't want to give them an extra £28 and I dunno how much money I'm even supposed to give them as a gift (cause yeah they want money not gifts)

I have nothing to wear, It's miles away and I'll have to pay about £20 on a taxi and I know fine if I ever got married they'd not come to my wedding let alone give me a gift.

Just BLAH.

Had the dentist which is another annoyance, Keira's teeth are perfect which I'm happy about, but I'm going to lodge a complaint about the last dentist. Because the root canal I have now has a crack down it, Idris needs a filling removed and redone (that the last dentist did) as it has decay inside it hence his tooth pain, and last time I was at the dentist, I had to get 2 fillings removed and redone (that the dentist had done badly) I mean !!!!!!. It's like I'm paying twice! I expect a root canal to last more than a year and a half? It's ugly silver aswell as it's £400 for white

We are struggling moneywise right now, way too much outgoings, and then £125 at dentists PAYABLE IN ADVANCE is just killing us. Stupid wedding aswell :mad:

I know we are in a better position than most but it's still crap Idris may have to go to kazakhstan soon for 6 weeks, so that will bring us in 8thousand quid and he gets to live in a 5 star hotel with a jacuzzi. I want to go!!!

BeenieCat

Thanks GISI i didn't even check the salt content so not sure I suppose i should be more worried about the amount of fat (butter) than the carbs? Meh i'm not worried about either tbh

Buttons i think you should get a posh little envelope and put £28 for their gift :rotfl:

redstararnie76

Buttons, that's dreadful about the wedding. If you feel that you HAVE to go, then I would certainly take no notice of any comments about Idris not being there - that's just rude and entirely insensitive to you! Stuff the £28!
As far as wanting money for the gift, I wouldn't personally do it. A friend did this and I didn't feel comfortable, so I just got her a gift from (I think) it was Next in their sale - I think I went for a candle set or something like that. I think otherwise, you tend to end up giving more money than you would have spent on a gift.

ETA; I like Beenie's solution, that'll work too!

Buttonmoons

I agree Arnie, I'd of spent about £20 max on a gift but I'm feeling like I should be putting something ridiculous like £50 in, because he's been casting up the cost of the meal etc.

I will just give money though as I have no time to go buy anything, I don't even have a card to put the money in yet :rotfl:

They think I'm loaded you see, and okay I am better off than them but his bride to be's mother has paid most if not all of their wedding, he doesn't work, he watches their 3 kids whilst she is at uni or some jazz. They are workshy, they are getting a brand new built 4 bed house. So whilst I may be better of monetary, they don't have to live in my crappola flat with beetle infestation. I'd rather be skint and have a garden!

Beenie - :rotfl: at the £28 that appeals to my douchebag side but maybe I'll add £2 to that so they are up on his meal at any rate HAHAHA

I totally love the £28 wedding gift idea :rotfl:
And put with love from Idris on it too :rotfl::rotfl:

I feel smug today, went shopping this morning and bought some nice new PJ's from primark, some next sale jeans for £10 :money:
And best of all, work yesterday said we arent allowed to wear flip flops or shoes with open toes anymore, and I said I'm not wearing the uniform skirt with closed shoes cos it looks silly, and they moaned that they dont want me to wear black trousers cos its not uniform. So I said its either sandally shoes and the skirt, or my own black trousers and shoes, cos their uniform trousers either give me a baggy crotch or camel toe :rotfl:
They agreed to let me wear my trousers cos the shoes are a health and safety thing, and in primark I found some black pumps, closed at the toe and heel but with just black lace running through the middle bit, I'm so totally getting one over on them, mwohahahahahaa!
