My infant school "boyfriend" was married with 3 boys when he friended me! How dare he age like that... That would mean the baby hamster he had off us is also no longer with us....


I have never taken any notice of the dates on eggs... I'm pretty sure they don't come out of the chickens ar5se with a date stamp on...

Also, a single duvet with a pile of toys is about all the playmat you need... Once she really starts shuffling around it will be a waste of time trying to keep her on a mat anyway...

My infant school boyfriend left me to live in Yorkshire. We were going to get married and live in the park :rotfl:

Oh i though Eggs were one thing you had to take notice of the dates, along with meat?

The reason i got it was because i thought it would cover the whole floor, we need something that will fold down small enough, and these play mats do
Plus they are quite cool

EA if an egg has gone bad you will know about it when you crack it! I go through a lot of eggs and they rarely get close to the date stamped on them nevertheless I always crack them into a measuring jug a) just in case they are bad so it doesn't mean throwing out all the ingredients and b) just in case any shell goes in I can easily get it out.

Congrats to you MOTM and Lucy - good luck telling the girls, I'm sure they will all be fine... even more reason for you to post more on here as we will all be 'adoptive' aunties to your newborn you know that dont you (that goes for your new one too Bruno)


Bruno, well done on your progress with LO and your OH Bf... hopefully this will help her lots.

Big difference between being missed, and someone posting saying you are being missed, though a comment which applies to Fitz very much too by the way, as well as you, Elle, SB, Lu T even, etc etc!

Please assume that if you are posting regularly then stop, then I miss you (but am too proud/macho/manly to say so very often )

There are lots of people missing who havent posted in months (and I mean like 6 months or more ) especially lots of the people that were on the thread when it first started Lu T, Bailey, Mrs Tine, Dormouse to name but a few and I miss lots of them because they were around when Henry was first born and the PT was new. Inevitably there will always be people that always post reguarly, people that post less frequently and those that stop posting - no offence but thats life. Some mums go back to work, others kids grow up, peoples circumstances change and this alters their priorities.

Many times I have felt that I couldnt post replies either because I dont know enough about the subject or just have no interest in it. And sometimes just because there was enough conflict going on already... and sometimes because I felt left out as alot of you all meet up so often....please remember we are all entitled to our own opinion as long as we remember that so is everyone else....If you look back there are so many times people have stopped posting because of falling out with each other and its really sad

To quote Lu T from one of the original threads
" 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!
I'm hoping we can use this thread for sharing money-saving tips, and giving and getting mutual support and advice."

Sorry for such a long post but I have been thinking about saying this for ages and since the latest episode I decided to get it off my chest.

well said maz x

dt1_2

I am giving him finger foods but have to make sure not to let him have them near mealtimes otherwise he seems to vomit on them worse?

Other professionals that come round have been trying to get a hv round for 4 weeks. Tried weetabix with fomula again this morning..... not a nice result:(.
Think I am going to stop soild food from today just formula and stage 1 jars. (if you don't mix the packets right he throws up). He is sucking on a piece of toast (crust off) as he kept shouting at DD for a bit. Will see how he goes.
Thank you all for the help and advice.
This is why I love all of you on here, one of you is always able to help. x

Morning everyone,

Fitzio, im sorry the argument upset you so much, fwiw i think the whole thing was blown way out of proportion and i dont think im alone in saying it was quite uncomfortable to even read it, i dont think you were threatening tho in your posts i think things can just be 'read' differently than they are meant. im sorry i dont want to ignite the whole thing again or annoy anyone, or anyone think im taking sides ect but i enjoy reading your posts and you give good advice,


I think people are missed on here but apart from naming them constantly i think we just assume they are busy, and like SJ said i dont feel a regular poster enough myself to mention it! I go through stages of lurking myself anyway, sometimes ive just not got much to say lol!!

Jasmine is seriously testing me this morning, keeps throwing herself on the floor having tantrums!!

dt1, your ds sound like my jake at that age, he could only eat the powdered food that you add water to until he was about 1!! anything else would come straight back up! was a shame cos he seemed to want to eat the other stuff but his tummy rejected it!! i never found out why it happened though he just gradually started to tolerate other foods, have you tried sandwiches, i think they were the first proper foods he started to keep down.

BrunoM

Sigh at typing a lengthy reply and then IE eating it.

Glam, your post earlier didn't match my recollection and I went back and read the whole sorry debacle. I won't bring up details and she-said she-saids - in the hopes of avoiding any future flames - but I really think you mis-interpreted Fitzio's posts and that a lot of this mini-drama has centred around people misunderstanding other people's posts and text being a dangerous communication medium.

It might be worth re-reading now that there's some distance to see how it all came about, if it's bothering anyone.

Also I am selfish because I really like Fitzio and Glam's posts (maybe this means I like *them*? :eek: ).

You're right things don't come across well on the internet, there's a few times you've said things and I've really had to bite my tongue. Like when I rather excitedly said Jack had said Dada and your reply was 'H has been saying Dada and Mama for ages now' I was like 'Oh cheers for that, burst my bubble why don't you?' And when I said I was sterilising enougH bottles for 2 days and you said 'Well you do know they won't be sterile?' like I'm stupid or a bad mum because I don't do it every day. I know they aren't properly sterile but its the way you word things that make it sound worse.

Jakesmummy

DT1 - Oh and when i had the problems with Jake not eating as a baby my HV was useless, and told me it was psychological on Jakes part as if he was doing it on purpose! She said there was no physical reason why he couldnt eat the same food as me so i should just start making him eat it!! hhmm whatever... useless she was!! just made me feel like it was my fault, but hopefully yours will be more help and maybe run some tests or something?
