and maybe some bananas to poke chocolate buttons in, wrap in foil and put in with the coals.

Or for the grown-ups, inject some bananas with cointreau then stick them on the barbie til the skins go black, then serve with icecream. Nomnomnomnom.

Morning Hubby has taken Elliots car seat out of the car this morning as it's going into the garage, Elliot loves his seat so much he's sitting in it in the living room with his cup of milk and blanket! He is daft.

V does that too when the car seat is inside for whatever reason! Strange child.

I've had a bit of a read back, but my brain is like a sieve at the mo.

Did you see the post from Bruno after they got back from the scan? Or was that before you went awol?


No plans for us today - L wants to go to the playscheme again, and I might get the next pile of stuff out to ebay.

I had a search last night (Asda/Tesco/Sainsbury) for school stuff. Struggled to find trousers in age 13/14 so I might have to go real-life shopping.

I was also looking for 18-24 babygrows and couldn't find any. (Except £15 for three at Mothercare). Does anyone have any cheaper ideas? I know I could get pjyamas but babygrows are so cute.

Why does my daughter insist on putting her hands in whatever she's eating, and rubbing it into her hair. :mad:

MFD - thanks for the info. He was struggling to eat earlier in the week as it was too painful but he has been fine
for the last three days so I guess it could be that but my money is on the slightly turned milk. I'll definitely keep an eye on it and up his feeds a bit.

3 - we have 18-24 babygrows from Asda and Sainsburys...I am looking for 24m+ if anywhere does them

Don't they move up to mens clothes from age 13ish? Measure his waist and leg and see if you can buy from George or somewhere xx

3 - do Asda do them in the packs of 2 and 3 that they do? I'm sure I've seen them but could be making it up lol

SJ - (or anyone else who knows) Did you find out what was the cause of Alfie's green poo? Thomas's was very green yesterday morning then he appeared to have diawoowoo all day. I think we changed about 8 dirty nappies! Had to change him twice overnight too which is unheard of! It gradually got more normal coloured all day, then when DH changed his nappy 1st thing it was very green again. He seems very well and happy in himself, even his teething isn;t bothering him too much. He had a bottle of expressed milk day before yesterday and I'm wondering if it was connected to that.

I think we're going to go to Ikea this morning to get T's highchair. He keeps whinging when we're having T then is fine when DH brings him up to the table with us and sits him on his knee so I think he might like to sit in his high chair and play with some toys. I'll be passing a couple of Asdas on the way (ish) as well lol

Green poop can be a sign that they are getting too much foremilk and not enough of the rich hindmilk. This can happen if they are having lots of short feeds rather than longer ones where the richer milk has time to come through. If he is otherwise well then I wouldn't be too concerned- we certainly had episodes of green poop for seemingly no reason!

You'll love the Antilop- it is a really useful place to plonk them while you eat.

H is napping so I am resting my poorly back and shoulder by doing nothing .

I thought i'd seen the babygrows in real Asda, but I assumed they'd also have them on-line, but they all only go up to 12-18.

I might need a trip to Asda this morning then - I bet mine doesn't have any nappy bargains, it never does.

MFD - I'm looking on LaRedoute - they seem to go up to age 3-4 in some styles. :A

Not sure about trousers, I should measure his waist. Tescos seemed to do the size but had no stock, and only had black anyway.

13/14 year old boys clothes seem to be non existant - maybe he is a small man now? Even undies only go up to age 12, then i'm guessing he must go into small mens?

Shoes are even more of a nightmare - childrens go up to a size 4 usually, 5 sometimes. Then mens start at a 7! What do I do now he's a 6? Looks like it'll have to be a horrendous trip to Clarks in the holidays. :eek:

No I missed that. Team pink then?! :T:T

And the 18-24 month babygrows we have were from Tesco.

Better go take the little one out of time out. She hit me on the head really hard with a drum so hard it made me cry, and I had to put her in her room before I got cross with her laughing at me :rotfl:.

My 12 year old nephew is starting to wear small mens stuff 3. You may find it easier to find a button trouser if you are looking at mens trousers too.

Will have a peek around La Redoute later ta x

Mens shoes should come in a size 6. I used to work for shoefayre and the boys shoes went up to a 6 and mens started in a 6. They were the least popular size though so that tended to be the one we didnt put out.
