I have a bead maze already from DS I rarely go to Ikea but might well do

MFD it's for 9m+ so i'd think there'd be no small parts

When you look at the pictures it has little items of food that come out of the trolley.

Here Edit - I can't link back to the right pic! 3rd one along - and look at the one where the 'mum' is holding the 'carrots'

I did wonder how it could be 9 months with small stuff in it TBH - maybe it is bigger than it looks?



Edit - salesshopper - I am currently 5lbs heavier than I was when Benjamin was 8 weeks old

Mfd - I have those moments too but when it comes to car seats i think you have to cos I know I'd feel awful if something happened! I had wondered what made you think it was a car seat! Maxi cosi, quinny, safety 1st and bebe comfort are all one big company called dorel.

Oh and downside of T having teeth so early she has nipped me twice now when finishing feeding.

Morning everyone,

Had a busy morning already. Nephew phoned at 8.15 to say his car won't start his battery is flat, neither of us have any idea how to bump/jump start a car so I picked Katie up out of bed, strapped her in the car with a banana to munch on and gave him a lift to work.

Made low gi breakfast pancakes served them with fruit and low fat greek yoghurt - a new breakfast for Katie but she enjoyed it - that's breakfast sorted for Thursday as I can pack it in box to be eaten on the train.

Sorted the washing into piles and put a load in, just waiting for it to finish so I can hang it out, it's cloudy with a breeze so I think I'll chance it, with the sun peeping out occasionally.

DH has also phoned to say he's got an extra hour on top of his shift today - all goes in the pot for holiday deposit.

It's too early to know for sure but I have strong supsicions. And you're not "supposed" to even feel sick this early but by this time four years ago I'd already been throwing up.

*desperately tries to not get her hopes up too soon*
FWIW I was nauseas from roughly 1 week post conception with both boys

MFD - those carrots are bigger than the child in the photo's fist I don't think they are choke-able small

Just contemplating making fish pie for tea, not sure I cba to start it now tho

Som - that photo is so funny because I commented on an almost identical one of Fbooboo's T yesterday in his mura with his foot up

:eek:how can you live so close to ikea and not own any of their toys this will never do We have the pull alaong truck of wooden blocks, the stacking cups, bead maze, dolls bed, plastic rocker thing and many rattles and musical soft things along with a cot, changing table, high chair, mini table n chairs, potty, step stools, flannels, bedding - There's not a lot we don't have! :rotfl:

I saw a photo of Molly on SS's FB, in her bedroom/play room? and it looked like a photo from the ikea catalogue :cool: I recognised it all:D

Been grappling with money all morning and doing a HUGE spreadsheet of all the different scenarios regarding going back to work & childcare.

Because I've already earnt some money this year, our best option is for me to get a part-time job and him be in childcare 3x/wk. In the new financial year next April, we're actually the best off if I don't work at all!! Except that DH is terrified of Housing Benefit - he thinks our landlord might want to kick us out?? I pointed out that by then we'll have been tenants for 7 months and have proved our reliability. Has anyone transferred onto HB and had problems? I think because we're a family, it's a bit different and people are mentally more forgiving. Just curious - I think he's scarred from his job, though, having dealt with DSS tenants and the landlords who loathe them.

But the awesome thing is that if I don't have to work at all, then we can have more babies! lol...
