MSE Parents Club Part 13

Maz - Her least favourite noise in the entire world are hand dryers in public toilets. At Ikea today she had to stand in the middle of the room hands over her ears whilst I dried mine! Boy did I get some funny looks off other ladies!

SC - I would love to see the faces of ladies if I took Katie wearing ear defenders :rotfl:.

I just send Katie into the living room and blitz whatever it is as fast as possible - I then get a little voice saying "finished yet, mummy?"

Good day shopping. Got a black woollen wrapover top dress from Monsoon for £16.50 from £45 :money: Also got a big handbag (change bag) from H&M and a new cardi from there too.

Som was going to say the same about emailing the ebay seller.

Just read back and wondering if anyone has spoken to Tara to see what/who has upset her? I dont want to PM if she's upset and has already been bombarded IYSWIM.

I haven't - I thought about it but I wasn't sure whether to after she'd said "I know about the 'pm' messaging that goes on and am very umcomfortable with it."

always its 12th x

fab, thanks SM, I've not missed it. Looking at trains for 12th, if I get a megastoppy train can do £11 day return from London - what time is everyone meeting and where?

Although can't be 100% certain as my uncle died on Saturday and don't know when/where his funeral is.

It depends what I'm doing - some things are okay but a lot of things make her cry and it can take ages to calm her down again. A couple of weeks ago I tried grating 2kg cheese after she'd gone to bed and it woke her up and made her cry.

Actually, that reminds me. Ages ago, some people were talking about baby ear protecters for festivals. Where does one find such things? It would be really useful if I was able to use the food processor at times other than when Alice is not in bed and OH is at home to look after her.

Now the weird thing is he is ok with that if its me and him making cakes but if OH uses it to make things he doesn't like it.. Says he didnt enjoy yesterday and wouldnt join in but he was telling OH all about it when he got home..:think:

Breakthrough the other day though as he has now accepted the fan being on and wants to put it on all the time.

Alice is okay with the vacuum cleaner if she has her toy one to join in - I think it distracts her from being scared.

Some things she's okay as long as we tell her they're going to happen but not if they come without warning.

I don't know what it is with Katie and certain sounds - she doesn't mind the fan.

That's what I do with Katie, I warn her so she can get away from the noise - if I don't warn her after I've finished she comes and tells me off!

In public toilets if there is no warning regarding the hand dryers she disappears into one of the cubicles to hide.

Susan, there are a few on ebay - I think the recommended brand is Pilter or Pelter or Pelton or something like that.

Edit: PELTOR!!

New pictures on FB for those who can see, and if you can't then you should probably be my friend
