MSE Parents Club Part 13

I like the 03 Sport, MFD. We nearly bought one before we had H, but decided to get a travel system we could use with our carseat in the end. I think it's a nice pram and £98 is a bargain!

If Katie wants to be in the nudey buff she will be, she does it even more now that she can take her own clothes off.

When we went on the beach on holiday this year, I didn't take anything with us as it was all still packed in the car, so once she got all sandy I stripped her off, rinsed her off with sea water, then she walked back to the car in just her top.

MFD - :j:j:j for bargain buggy

Susan - fingers crossed.

Eww at slugs. We got our kitchen from B&Q wasn't a cheapy though as we had to do some building work to alter the layout (£7K including fitting and appliances)

Scones are a success - Katie loved tickling the flour (rubbing in the butter)

Just dough balls to make to accompany tea tonight.

Charlie is known around here for his nakedness, he prefers to be naked and most of the time i leave him to it. If he has a tantrum the first thing he does is to start taking his clothes off lol!

3 please dont hate me but i am now getting the purple stokke after a huge argument yet again with Kiddicare?? They have changed the date 3 times now and cannot tell me when delivery will be. They have purple in stock so im hoping it arrives tomorrow! fingers crossed:D

I thought the saddest one was the mans email read out at the end who said he wouldn't even let his child run naked in his own garden

I will admit to not having had Benjamin out in the garden naked yet and we prob won't let him on holiday because of the sun - I just find the whole premise of there always being a 'threat' to our kids very, very sad.

Maybe it depends on how you've been raised yourself but the idea of letting Alice run naked in the garden had never entered my head. I think as a child I did once see someone with a small child naked at a beach but other than that I've not come across children going naked in public. I wouldn't let Alice go naked in public because I would consider it improper rather than because I am worried about what kind of person is around. (But I wouldn't be specifically thinking really badly of people who did allow their child to do so - it goes in the category of "It's not what I choose for my child but it's up to other people if they want to do it.")

SC - I did it as a child as I can't bear being in wet clothes so I'd go in the sea, then as soon as I came out I would strip off to walk back up the beach! Mum had to have a constant supply of dry stuff for me - this wasn't even abroad it was North Wales I must have been mad.

My auntie always let my cousins run naked in the garden in the summer, that was when she did their potty training cos it was mess and laundry free :rotfl: :rotfl:

While its been hot S has only been wearing a nappy in the house and at the CM's too, athough he is dressed if he goes in the garden because it keeps the sun off his skin. I would be in the camp of being worried about who would be around if he was naked in public though, rather than thinking of it as being improper.

My family have come to visit from Kent this week and I've made them my legendary chocolate cake :j its sitting in my kitchen waiting to be eaten, but if I cut a slice I wont be able to get it back in the tin and transport it round to my nans where they are staying :doh:
I've also got a loaf of homemade bread baking away and am feeling rather domesticated. Although we did have a slightly less domesticated Maccy Ds for lunch, so perhaps not :rotfl:

afternoon everyone, only me, taking things slowly atm, hv nearly had me down for a pnd group yesterday.

I am a bad mummy - Thomas is walking along holding onto the tv table and when he runs out of table or turns round to look at me he takes one hand off and falls down, he's done this about 5 times in a row now, I can't help but laugh! He followed me round the other day while I sticking the sticky safety corner bumper things on the other day and pulled them all off, oh well, I tried!!

Bicycle child seats question if anyone can help - all the seats I've looked at say from 9kg, Thomas is small (between 2nd & 9th percentiles on both weight and height, 8 months next week and weighed 7.4kg yesterday) but I really want to start going out for bike rides again, has anyone come across a seat for smaller than 9kg?? Not to mention small helmets!

Ooh, where on the Island are you off to?

We went to this farm last week and it was fab. We're over there for a wedding this weekend as well.

We are staying at a caravan park in Yarmouth, my sister is coming with her 2 kids and they are staying in their trailer tent. Have decided that we are going to try to visit things that are more specific to the IOW than general places we could visit anywhere so definately going to IOW steam railway - cos of tube trains etc, Needles, Dinosaur Isle and maybe one of the chines. but thats looks good for indoors if weather is bad?

Paid for a couple of them with CC so been very :money: My sister suggested the Garlic farm as its very :money:...its free! And of course will be going to the beach as well

Talking of garlic, Katie has just upended a quarter of a jar of garlic powder into the mix for the dough balls! Beware Vampires
