i think the car seat was an error, but we shall see tomorow

Krystaltips

It's got to have been an error... I bet we all get "sorry but..." emails tomorrow lol...

I'm just watching a playhouse on eBay that we're hoping to win for Caitlyn for christmas... I'm half tempted though, if we win it, to put it up now and let her play with it while she can still get in the garden instead of putting it away until December when the weather is going to be pants...

Any opinions anyone?

BM - GCSE's are what you take at school at 15/16 and A levels are taken at 6th form at approx 18 x

I would let her have it now - she wont really know what christmas is all about at her age and she will get a few more months to play with it x ( but that is my opinion and I open ALL my christmas pressies before christmas day and re wrap them so dont listen to me!!)

Wow choppy - that was a mammoth post

On christmas Eve we go to the zoo where we can feed the reindeers and it was so magical I cant wait till this year as shes a bit older.

Sounds like a good idea Krystal, just don't do what I do, and then at Xmas buy her something else massive because you feel bad, and oh well it was only XYZ she got early, and she doesn't realise that was part of her Xmas

I think we will get them Krystal, I checked my account and said it's ready for dispatch and £9 has been taken from my account. There is a thread on the grabbit board about them, from 5pm, so surely with the massive amount of people buying them from that time onwards, mothercare would of noticed and put a stop to it.

Someone said that they will be getting more in/different colours. If they honour it maybe worth keeping an eye out so you can accessorise child with car :rotfl:

Choppy, get one of those highchairs that converts down to a table and a chair, then you will get lots more use out of it, and a chair with a harness to keep her in place at dinner time

got-it-spend-it

I quite like the look of this wooden Ikea one, Choppy. Or a Tripp Trapp copy.

I hadn't really thought about getting/making a stocking For H at Christmas. It will be his second Christmas, but he was only five weeks old last year. I'm thinking that this year at 13 months he will get quite into the spirit of things!

Krystal- would Aimee be bothered if C gets her main Christmas pressie now? If not then I would let her have it now and get more use out of it.

glad your all getting baragins

Thanks Caz - I ordered two, but I was upstairs with Miss Wingepants so cba posting from my phone.


After a couple of good nights, it was back to two hours of crying tonight. I think my daughter is the exception to the sleeping in the day = sleeping at night.
She's had a (now rare) nap today, and was so not tired tonight. But she's far too young not to be having a nap?!?!?! Isn't she?

I had to do a kind of CC while I ran downstairs for my card number to pay for the car seats for 2 minutes. She was hysterical when I got back, clinging to me and sobbing like she'd been abandoned for hours.

so he wants to look for a new job (he is also currently on the waiting list for the fire service but with elections/cuts training courses have been postponed - he's effectively passed everything)

but it could be yonks before the fire service do anything....

That's crappy news CAFC. What do you do? Would it be easier for you to find something or OH to find something else?

OH was on the waiting list for the fire service for three years, twice! He had to do all the application and tests again after the first one lapsed. The second one was about to lapse when he applied for the Police instead, luckily he got in but he's one of the last. The government have put the stoppers on that too.

He was incredibly lucky. From his interview/tests group, they did two intakes. OH's in January and the other one was due to start training in July. OH has the last collar number in his training group. The July training group were told in May that due to the new government, their training was postponed until further notice. :eek:

Choppy, Although I love my Antilop, DS and DD1 had the wooden ones that changed into a table and chair and they were brilliant and they used them until they were 4ish (when their legs wouldn't fit under the table!). They were Mothercare ones I think, and had no fiddly bits to clean.

I wasn't sure what you meant, but just had a look at Mothercare and saw this. Is that what you mean?

Yeah, or something similar! I had one of them when I was a dink, and I used to eat my dinner at it til I was about 6-7! I was a skinny minny child though, not sure what happened...

24? :eek: What if you get 24 interviews? And then 24 job offers? :eek:

:rotfl: Could you imagine?????

SusanC wrote: »

You'd have to have all those interviews pretty close together to have not had a job offer from the first ones before the last interviews. And I doubt anyone is amazing enough to get 24 job offers from 24 applications.

I wish I was that amazing! :cool: Just one interview and job would do!

MIL has spoken to her local place and they might have a vacancy coming in next few months so hoping she's right and not got the wrong end of the stick.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo OH and I have been super organised and been tidying up and sorting stuff out :j In every BB advert we've done a quick burst and got loads done.
Am having a little teary moment at BB cos Josie is lovely :A

Well done to the GCSE people! :T

3 - V sounds like R and most days she dosnt have a nap and hasnt since about 18 months (ish) we were really struggling to get her in bed before 10 most nights and now she dosnt have a sleep shes in bed between 6 and 7. I thought she was too young not to nap but it certainly works for her! She also climbed out of her cot at an early age just like V and was in a bed from 1. She still donst go to sleep on her own tho - she usually falls asleep on my knee or in my bed and I carry her through.
