    My Daughter can climb stairs, say Amber, Bad, Dada, Mumum, yeah and break (for breakfast).

    3 we have been in size 5's for a while now but I don't think he is in any danger of growing out of them any time soon. If anything he seems to be losing his little belly :(

    I am also currently having to buy 18-24 month clothes because all his 12-18 month stuff is getting a little tight on him. Although he has been in 18-24 sleepsuits for a while now. Do these kids ever stop growing?

    I think I am going to have to put him in proper pj's soon too :( his 18-24 sleepsuits are starting to pull at the neck :o

    Afternoon everyone,

    i need to get to asda to get some of these bargain nappies!!! i was in the home bargains next door to asda this morning as well!

    jasmine is officially a nightmare, it is impossible to relax while she's running riot, she chews food and spits it out on the floor, stamps on it, rips wallpaper, hits jake on head with random hard objects.... the list goes on lol!! she's napping now though:D this is the first day of the school hols we've not really done much though,

    i picked the kids picture disc up this morning too, i love em,

    oh and play.com have annoyed me, i ordered 2 posters for jas, a waybuloo and peppa pig, instead of waybuloo i got some monster computer game poster and ive got to go to the post office to send it back, even though ive unwrapped it and they wont be able to resell anyway!! bahh i might fold it up really small and stick in an envelope just to annoy em lol!!!

    Some 12-18's are getting a little tight but we will be 18 months old later this week.

    But she's wearing a 18-24 top today and i've had to roll the sleeves up quite a few times. And the 18-24 cropped trousers she's wearing aren't quite cropped enough, so they just look like long trousers that are a little too short. :o

    My asda has no bargain nappies cos its a big store that normally sells big boxes anyway :(

    12-18 trousers are fine on S, but t shirts are starting to be a struggle going over his head, so phasing out the small 12-18 ones is starting and the unpacking of 18-24 ones is occurring :( have given up on Primark t shirts for him as he outgrows them so quickly, sticking to asda ones from now on!

    Many thanks WM - just been to Asda and got 2 boxes of 99 Size 5 Baby Dry for £6 each :money: that's 6p a nappy :T:T

    They also have boxes of 6 packs of johnsons wipes (the pink ones) for £2.50 :money::money:

    Wish I had bought more than 2 of each now :o

    Thanks MFD. Was just going to post that I have seen a few posts on the grabbit board saying that Asda stores has the pampers on at £6.

    Also for anyone using Huggies (Beenie - Where are you?) a poster has said they are £5.50 per box.

    Am I a bad mother in that William hasn't worn a sleepsuit since he was about 5 months old :eek: and at present sleeps in PJ's from Asda's which comprise of a short sleeved t shirt and a pair of shorts:think:

    Maz, not as bad as I am - S sleeps in a nappy and a sleeping bag and that is all!

    Trousers are hit and miss ATM. He has a pair of combats on today that are minimode I think - 12-18m and they are turned up. But he was in a pair of Saisburys jeans 12-18m yesterday and they were erring towards the short side.

    It is mainly a t-shirt thing for us too....although I don't want to buy too many short sleeves because then he will end up in long sleeved vests under them in winter again (and I am rubbish at getting the cuffs clean :o)

    I would worry that Benjamin would get cold. He sleeps in a vest and sleepsuit and we quite often put his little oil filled radiator on to keep the temperature up in the night.

    If it drops below 19 degrees he wakes in the night *shrugs* good job our kids are a different as their mothers!!

    Will need to buy him some bed socks :D


    Edit - I wouldn't get Benjamin in a sleeping bag for anything these days!

    I need a bit of advice, I have a job interview in an "adult shop" next week as a sales assistant, it's a brand new shop. How should i dress to this interview? He's not asked for a CV or anything, and I called about it yesterday and I know my mum did too but he texted her today saying she was unsuccesful for an interview, I can only think he wants younger people working there?

    I need this job, kicking keira's dad out, he has until saturday to get the hell out of my life, so it will just be me and her, and probably a private nursery and poorness ensue!
