MSE Parents Club Part 14

Happy anniversary Bexta - maybe the kitchen didn't actually exist and was just a clever marketing ploy :rotfl:

I never really wanted a Mr Frosty, one of my friends had one and once the sauce ran out there wasn't really a way to replace it so it was just an ice crusher.

I did want a Spirograph and my mother finally got me one when I was about 17. I thought it was rubbish

Edit: but I bet I'd have loved it when I asked for it :rotfl:

I can only assume it was very expensive as my parents were pretty good about letting me choose a main present. There's no way trading standards would let them show that advert now!

We're going to Cheshire Oaks for the day with my Mum. I'd better get my skates on coz I'm still in my dressing gown!

Gill, I used to call it an At A Cart kitchen and I too really, really wanted one. My mother keeps on talking about how much I wanted one and it was on my list year after year. She never explained why she didn't get one though

I had the same book out of the library for five years (until someone else requested it) and my parents never thought of buying it for Christmas or Birthday. Admittedly it never ocurred to me to ask but you would have thought they would think of it.

And I'm sure Molly will share her kitchen with you.

It was £41.95 or less.

Edit: Susan, I imagine I'll have to wrestle Husband for the chance to play with it. He wanted it all set up for her first birthday :rotfl:

Edit again: the ad doesn't show it cooking the cake or the beans, just that they were in there. And I expect that since the girl is all immaculately dressed with a bow in her hair that Mummy had already been up for hours and orchestrated the cake-on-beans breakfast wake up in revenge for long-sleeping Daddy

(have you seen there's a kid named "Teddy"? :silenced: am saying nowt)

Next doors baby is called Ted, but its short for Edward

Ted suits him more though

Because im v. paranoid, i did another test this morning. You'll be pleased to know im still pregnant and the line is getting darker

Lily was a PITA last night, she had a poo (5th one of the day!) at about 11pm, and then decided that her cot was the worst place to be and kept screaming until we got her out.
This went on until 12am when she fell asleep in my arms.

She woke up at 9am though!

I've given in to the man flu. Still had to do the CM and school run. But I'm back now and I'm off to bed for the day. Not felt this carp for along time. Woe is me....

I never got a Mr Frosty either
I did have a play kitchen, don't think it was a proper A la Carte Kitchen though

ETA - Oh EA - I don't think I actually posted yesterday...Congratulations to you & Felix

Right, I have to go out to a meeting. I am in a rage, Husband has been accusing me of trying to start a fight with him all morning, and I've barely said ten words all morning - he's looking for a fight and trying to pretend it came from me.

I'm just trying to get stuff done and have some quiet time but he's been keeping a running monologue on the crap he's been looking at on the internet while I organise my work files/catch up on work email/sort paperwork/pack bag/feed and change the baby/put away the dishes and all the rest of the stuff I do while he sits on the internet reading useless stories and feeding useless information that I don't care about back to me. I asked him to drain the washing machine because I only have two nursing bras that aren't trapped in there but no, the repair guy will do that on Friday, and asked him to organise an appoint for Molly's MMR for a Monday - but he talked over me repeatedly when I explained why it had to be a Monday and hasn't done it anyway. He took the rubbish down two days ago and hasn't bothered replacing the bag, the kitchen counter is filthy and filled with dirty dishes that I haven't had time to wash because I'm too busy doing tons of other stuff and there he is sniping at me because he's tired and ill but dude, I've been up since 5am with the baby and am also ill but still the stuff needs to get done.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I'm off to my poxy meetings.
