    She said 20 oz was the max they should have and as an example she said two lots of 8oz then the rest as yoghurt etc. She said to give them water in sippy cups with each meal. I thought it sounded different to what I'd heard on here. I quite liked the idea of it tho as it would make my life easier lol.

    I've just had a frustrating conversation with vertbaudet. I ordered T a pair of booties in 9-12. He's not quite 5 months and they're too small! (he's just gone into 6-9 coz he does have big feet) I phoned to arrange an exchange and she took my new order but wasn't going to do anything about a collection until I asked.

    She asked would I be in over the next 1-5 days. I said I'd be on for some but not all, but I could arrange to be when neccessary. She said they couldn't tell me when but did i have a safe, dry place i could leave them. i said no and she sounded shocked (surely it's not unusual??) and said could i post them back instead, but i'd have to pay postage. I refused and said it was unreasonable to expect someone not to leave the house for 5 days! She asked if I could leave them with a neighbour and I said not one who could guarantee to be in all that time! I asked what would happen if they came when i was out and she said they'd leave a message...I said i'll do that then....you know when you get off the phone feeling quite exhausted?!

    A question for anyone who bottlefeeds either through formula or expressing - do you change the teat size and how often? when T has a bottle he still has size 1 and doesnt seem to mind. I'm just wondering if I'll need to get size 2 or 3 at any point. we use tommee tippee closer to nature.

    Well E still has 45ozs a day and 3 meals a day lol

    We changed Es teats to 2's when he was 4 weeks old, and to 3's when he was about 20 weeks old, we changed cos he was getting tired out drinking his bottle cos the milk wasnt flowing fast enough for him

    GRR about your order thats ridiculous them expecting you to wait in a week

    Gill - would the intelligent thing have been for her to suggest delivery is x day, and they will collect your return then? Or am I just naively simples like that? LOL just seems logical to me...

  • Well I don't use deodorant at all :o and I don't smell. I ask DH regularly if I do as even though I'm pretty sure I don't, I don't know anyone else who doesn't need to use deodorant so I like to keep checking!

    I can however feel my cervix, should the need arise :rotfl:


    Sugar hope you have a fab weekend!

    That's ok about earlier MFD, I did wonder what you were on about though. Sorry the job isn't what you wanted.

    Aless you don't look like you have an extra 3 stone! You must have been very skinny before.

    She said it would be within 7 days and I could give it back to him then. She wouldnt book it in tho so he wouldnt know he had to collect my parcel if I was out. I was worried about missing the 14 day return thing.

    Thats just shockingly !!!!!!!
    What happens when he says no im not collecting anything and you end up in an argument with him? God people make things so hard....
    And does 14 days apply to exchanges or just refunds?

  • Gill, my Hermes man won't leave a parcel unless I'm here to take it from him... When I had a return with La Redoute, I just handed it over when he bought the replacement round...

    Someone just rang, hubby answered the phone and they asked for the homeowner... Then started some script about "this isn't a sales call, blah blah blah... Have you changed your mortgage recently?" Hubby just said "sorry, I don't speak English" and completely bamboozled the guy on the end of the phone lol!

    Gill, I stayed at size 1 while she was breast feeding, then changed to size 2. She went to size 3 at about 7/8months.
