MSE Parents Club Part 14

:j for E!! Can't help really with the dungarees, but I find Next stuff very big in the belly. Molly looks like a half deflated Michelin man in their sleepsuits :rotfl: Or else just keep him in tops and trousers?

Maz, what's a Rumpletum? And Happy Anniversary!

Massive hugs CAFC, I agree with everyone else that a HV chat is in order.

Aless, I have several CVs that emphasise different things. When I was going for temp jobs to pay my rent, there was no mention of my higher education and just the stuff that was relevant to them. I also have a retail CV - it was often a bit of a comedy of errors because I was teaching at the university in the morning and working in a shop in the afternoon and the students would *think* they recognised me but be completely unsure because it just didn't fit in their heads. Having said that though, even those few pounds an hour were helpful and if they keep your CM for you while you keep looking then so much the better, surely?

Krystal, did you buy the Stokke?

MFD I've been looking at the winter kit but it doesn't fit the old style Stokke

Michelle, I think the site is localbargains.co.uk that searches ebay for things within a certain range of you? Or if GISI can find a big enough box... My Stokke came in about seven supermarket boxes strapped and taped together.

BM it'll settle down.

I got my crown fitted today and it's so so so ugly. So so so obvious. I got a metal crown because I can't afford the £600 they charge for a white one, and as it's a molar, it's not valid for white on the NHS. But when I smile, you can see it straight away, and it's so polished and shiny, so even smiling, all you see is the tooth sparkling away, it looks insanely BAD.

Sorry to hear that. I had silver one fitted on a molar when I had my maternity certificate and I hated it I felt like everyone would look at it when I opened my mouth and it felt too weird. It sort of felt bigger and heavier than the original tooth so I felt like I was walking round with a stone in my mouth.

I got a nasty infection underneath and they couldn't get shot of it and I was really ill with it so they took the whole thing out. Even though it was agony when I had the infection, it was worth it to get rid of the damn crown

Rubbish evening last night. Went to the match and saw the worst Sunderland performance in years, so I came home in a really bad mood

Been talking to Charlotte this morning. She asked if one day she would be a Mam and I said yes she might be. Then she asked if she was a Mam, would I still be a Mam. I said I'd always be her Mam, just like Granny will always be my Mam. She said she didn't know that so she must have thought Granny was just some random woman who turns up to look after her Anyway Charlotte has decided she's going to have seven baby boys and they are all going to be named after different fruits :rotfl:

Saw this on a local news site and was a bit :eek:

morning!!

much better night here thankfully.

how is everyone this morning?

we are out later for our anniversary/my birthday meal. going today as DH is off so we can go early with Kian. Fri (anniversary) we are both working and it would be 7pm brfore we would even get to restaurant which means Kian would be asleep and then Sat (my birthday) DH is working which means a late trip out as well.

and...i have a voucher for a free bottle of house wine when we order 2 main meals so it is a bit :money:

BM- i got a crown earlier this year and it was super shiny too but it will get less shiny over time.

Somnium

Becles - Charlotte is so rockstar!

SS - I think you got me muddled with CAFC, but thanks x

Kindof - when the say they don't attach I think they mean they don't tie or velcro on, you just thread the harness through the holes, which if E is in a wriggly mood means it way slip down a little. Im just gonna sew on some ribbon or something if I find this happens with T, Much more MSE than forking out for the actual maclaren or maxi cosi ones. We love dungaree's in this house and have hand me downs and new ones from mothercare, matalan, sainsburys and tesco. My best friend has bought T some lovely ones for Xmas from H&M too Oh and big yeay for sleeping through x

Right OH bering a typical man has left getting his Mums 60th Birthday pressie to last minute.com, so me and T need to go out and get her one. He has at least told us what to buy so need to go hunt out a bottle of Ghost, which is great but we have about £8 in our bank account so need to go raid the savings (whats left of them!).

Its something we discovered in Sainsburys - they call it Rumbledethumps, its basically "A delicious Scottish inspired recipe of potato, swede and savoy cabbage, topped with mature Cheddar cheese." but we have adapted it so that any veg left over from Sunday dinner gets chopped up like cubes and then put in a bowl with grated cheese mixed in and then we put it in the oven to cook through....last night we had some and there was enough to go in a container in the freezer!!!

Happy Anniversary Jillie - nearly the same day !!!

Why is it so shiny I can't stop fretting over it. I feel like a pirate.

Buttons I'll ask DH if anything can be requested to help with the shininess. Which tooth is it? ie which molar?

SugarSpun

Thanks Maz

Sorry Som, I wonder what it was I wanted to ask you?

Becles, Charlotte sounds so cute. Can just imagine you taking 'Banana' and 'Orange' to the park :rotfl:

CAFC if you're out ther *hugs*

Going to have to be rigorous in strapping madam into her little chair, she's figured out how to 'walk' herself down it so her legs dangle over the edge :eek: I forget how big she's getting now.
