We went to book bugs at the Edinburgh International bookfestival this morning - its what booksstart in scotland is being rebranded. It was a fun session of singing and stories but I had to take Annabel out half way through and give her a 'talking to' before returning. At least she seemed to take notice of what I said! Very embarassing at the time, but upon reflection it wasn't - more embarassing would have been not doing anything about it

All children misbehave from time to time. I only find it annoying if what a child is doing is affecting other children and the parent makes no attempt to do anything about it and shows no signs of being bothered.

I did suggest that OH pops to work and brings home his cuffs and leg restraints but he thinks that's a bit harsh.
Or putting the matress on the floor, with the cot upside-down on top like a cage. :rotfl:

I know this is old now, but it just came up in my multi quotes and made me laugh!!

MFD, I'd just open with "I'm interested in being considered for the position of X. I have these skills that I feel make me very suitable." Then in the next paragraph explain the agency shenanigans.

Thats exactly what I thought - when I was interviewing I tended to read the first paragraph and skim over the rest having already decided if they might be worth getting an intervew or not, put them into a maybe pile and then fine tooth them from there.

Do you think I could get my 2 boys in matching tops for our jollies?

I am sure Sainsburys or Asda do matching ones in a Size 18-24m and a size 10.


Doh - actually we already have these matching ones *rolleyes* - Benjamin might just fit his now, we have had it since he was about 10 weeks!!

Ea - yeah save it for a rainy day? Or have a nice holiday or something?

EA, does it really need to be spent? Just put it away, you never know when you will need it?

EA, why not put it in the bank and start a house deposit fund?

We already discussed about buying a house, realistically we probably wont ever be able to afford one. We want to emigrate at some point and i dont want to be stuck with a mortgage for 25ish years and not being able to emigrate.

It sounds bad, but Lily really annoys me when she refuses to drink her milk. She has a massive tantrum and lets it fall out of her mouth and keeps kicking away from me.
The HV said if she wont drink her milk give her food instead and its fine, but i thought her milk currently made up most of her nutrients, etc?

Kindof, Felix doesn't want a holiday. He is even refusing to go to Pontins to see my sister. He thinks Lily is to young, and then when Lily is old enough our next one will be to young.

Em, he now has said he wants to split it. So my £500 is going into my car fund so i can get a better car.

Those T-Shirts are fab Mfd! They sell similar things in the black country museum shop... And you definitely need to dress them in matching things... I bet DSS would love it, Aimee does... She chose the t-shirts they're wearing today...

EA - her teeth are probably hurting her, poor thing. They all go off their milk (and often food too) for a bit when their teeth are coming through.

I would spend half, save half (or something like that) because I am half sensible and half frivolous!!

EA, is the information in your sig current? If you still owe £1800ish you could get rid of half that and still have money for a really nice dinner

Yes it is, DH already suggested using it to clear my debts but about 80% of that debt is what i run up before we were together.
(+ interest aswell)
He says he is happy to clear it with his wages aswell as mine, but i feel bad as its my debt from my own stupid drunken spening

Same here, he can spend his half on what he wants (i know he wants some jeans that i have forbidden him to buy, they are 'gangsta' style jeans and are hideous! :rotfl:) but mine will go into savings. Im due £900 from work at the end of Sept (hopefully!) and that will go into savings, as will xmas and birthday money and then i should be able to get an ok car from that.

I gave her some calpol earlier and she gave me a massive cuddle. I fel so bad for her but i dont know what to do, i just dont want her to starve
