MSE Parents Club Part 14

Susan, a complaint letter might help you vent some bad emotions, but agree with everyone else, not today. My friend was treated the same way and she complained also, she said she was just thankful that when she did eventually mc, she was almost 16 weeks and was able to go to the maternity hospital, which is really a horrible way to have to look at things. Here, you go to the EPAU or the assesment suite if its out of hours (they have a separate room for sensitive matters) and I think it's a lot better.

Sami, poor Chris. Speak to the nursery and hopefully it will get sorted out. Complain about tesco's. They always ask me if they can pack my bags.

Bruno, you and wifey need a nice meal with a play area for E. If I was closer, I'd take him to the park for you! Get a super king, the space will be great when baby arrives.

salesshopper, you have a great taste. I also have a joolz Even the MIL today said she loved it.

Bruno again, well done on the bed bargain! Keep venting! Must be hard being a man and having to keep a stiff upper lip all the time and not even be able to bawl like a baby and blame hormones.

My books arrived today, I agree, great box for £5.98. I got lots of 99p books and the grufalo pack for free.

I didn't see the mr croc set... I just had to order a couple... And a helen oxenbury set... And some more gruffalo freebies lol...

Hermes called today while I was out, he'll come back tomorrow... If he's really lucky he'll catch hubby in his grouch pyjamas for a change lol...

Aimee's got a birthday party tomorrow, I got D to pick up the present on his lunch hour yesterday... He picked up a Mini B for Aimee because they were reduced and she's had a good first week at school... I just gave it to her and she was nearly hysterical she was so excited lol...

(I also made a point of the fact that she has a present but Caitlyn doesn't have anything... And maybe sometimes Caitlyn might get a present when she doesn't... But they'll get the same amount all together... My friend was fetching one of her children from school today and she had her younger child with her with a new toy... As the older child walked out of school, the first words uttered were "what did I get?!" and was duly promised lots of things when they got home... But that child is in a league of it's own really... I do wonder how the little one will feel when it grows up and realises it's always treated second best because the older one cannot behave...)

Becles i've just installed the First Class software. It's sooooooooooo bad!! :eek:

Awful isn't it! Are all your course forums on there? Most of mine have been access through the course page on my student home page. It's called a moodle.

Don't save things in "my stuff" on moodle though. It's pants and messes up your formatting and deletes chunks of text. Best to save your own notes in Word or whatever works for you.

Sorry to hear the news Susan. I've been there and I know how you must be feeling. These people are lovely if you need to chat to someone. And there's us of course xx

I would write a letter too when you feel up to it. It's something I regret not doing after mine. I was admitted and had to stay in overnight and was placed on a general gynae ward, and found it hard to deal with due to the lack of privacy and reasons why other ladies were in there.

Hope you feel less stressed now Bruno xx

Lovely pics Michelle xx

Sami - big hugs for Christopher. What a horrible experience for him. And how rude of that lady in tesco! Every supermarket I go in, be it Tesco, Asda or Sainsburys ask if I want my bags packed! You should definitely complain and send your receipt so they know who it is.

Susan - I have thanked your post. I am for your family and :mad::mad::mad: for your treatment. I think you are most definitely NOT over reacting and that if/when you are feeling up to it then you should complain. At the very least you should have been put somewhere private. It sounds like a lovely idea to take Alice out tomorrow - she sounds very sweet and well behaved.

Michelle - what lovely pics of Ayana

I got the Mr Croc books. I got some books about a pig too, 5 for £1.99. They're lovely and will make great little presents. I emailed about my damaged fisherprice books but haven't had a reply yet.

Krystal, at my school there was a kid who greeted his mother every Friday with, It's Toy Day, Mummy, what will you buy me?

Horrible *shudders*

New photos uploading to Facebook and Molly has a bowl of chopped veg and meat that she is alternately eating and flinging around.

I have a toddler enjoying the fact that mummy has been to the shop today and bought food so she is raiding the fruit bowl like it's going out of fashion

Michelle, those pics are so cute! A looks like a cheeky little thing, it looks like she's playing peek a boo with her dress. :mad: at hubby for forgetting your birthday - what is it with men? We'd get such a strop if we forgot theirs, wouldn't we?

SS, kids like that want a kick up the bum and the parents an even bigger one, ugh.

I had a different pram at first lol!

But she was in that carry cot till just about 6 months, but Amber was a small, sleepy baby. And it was a big carry cot.

The Joolz though, because it lies back nicely, you could try her in it and so long as she is not escaping through the straps or rolling about in it, she can go in it, I'd say. It's also great because it's parent facing so just like a carry cot but they can nose about more.

What age is Ava? Maybe wait till you can use the cosy toe in the pushchair bit because it gives a bit more security for little ones.
