MSE Parents Club Part 14

Buttonmoons

I wish I was organised for Xmas.

I ordered Keira two presents from the amazon link, was a Jessie and Bullseye (which has arrived) and the ice cream maker (Which has not) I got sent dispatch emails on the whatever day......last week, and they were both sent one after the other but only the Jessie turned up. Then yesterday I got another 2 emails from them saying my stuff was being shipped? So what have they sent me it twice? Cause I won't say no if they have

I am utterly stuck as to what else to get her, she needs new paints etc though as her and ellie utterly destroyed and messed up what she had, its all congealing in a box under her bed :whistle: That reminds me - Has anyone seen decent plastic storage boxes that can fit under a bed? I just use those poundland ones at the mo but they aren't very big!

While you're here - have you been to the Yellow Sub? Is it any good? I'm supposed to be going Friday with my friend and her LO's.

I've put mine in DH's birthday bag for today :shhh:

No, I have never been but have heard really good reports. My NCT group always invite me as they have a fortnightly visit.

Two weekly play at the Yellow Sub is on Friday 24 Sept from 10am till noon. The Yellow Sub is a giant indoor soft play area with a separate area for under- and over-3s. The NCT has agreed a special rate of £2 per playing child (you dont need to be a NCT member).

It could be a very MSE visit! :cool:;)

I weighed and measured Keira this morning, she's 2stone 8 now and 3ft 5. So she has grown an inch since I last measured her, 2months ago? My mum and other people tell me she is small, but she musn't be if she is that height? Some woman on the bus asked me if she was 2!! Keira got really irate and told her that No, she was actually 4, because didn't she see she has long long long hair? Babies don't have long long hair you know!

I've just cancelled my sky im going to get virgin instead, i felt a bit guilty though the woman on the fone was really nice and offered me quite a good deal to stay..

JM are you going through Quidco for Virgin. There is a fantastic cashback deal until friday.

You want to be carefull about shouting her age out on the bus BM... You'll have to start paying for her when she's 5...

We paid for Aimee on the way back from Elliots party... But only because I spotted inspectors lurking on the bus... I don't bother normally

I can't wait to get a car... I'm sure it will work out cheaper to get to some places once we do...

Books, videos, craft/stationery items, dressing up clothes, lego, jigsaws, games.

Charity shops are good - I go to ours once or twice a week and between that and eBay rarely need to buy any actually new stuff except for the kind of things which run out like stationery. (And my mum does the same.)

Lol Krystal, I dread the day I have to pay for her. I haven't seen inspectors on the buses in years! She has a chubby baby face though, I'm sure I can blag it a bit longer. My mum still says ellie is 4 even though she is 7 in Dec! :rotfl:

Thanks for those Ideas Susan! We don't have a video player (nor a working TV at the mo ) but she does like movies. Was going to get her new paints/playdough/pens/crayons and maybe new chalks for her easel, just for the stocking. I would get her more dress up but she kinda has all the dresses bar a few, though she would like new shoes, don't buy those plastic 4 in a pack set type things that cost £15, they break within a week!

You have any game reccomendations Susan? Recently bought her hungry hippos which she is enjoys but I'd like something a bit more mentally challenging for her, and also I should get her new snap card sets as hers have all got lost

I would look in Alice's red book but it's missing at the moment but I'm sure that can't be far off average for her age. Alice is an inch smaller and people usually assume she is older than she is. Last December someone commented on her not being in school when we were out for a walk.

Actually that reminds me: Does anyone know where I can get pretty patterned tights bigger than age 5-6? Alice's are almost too small for her but when I looked Tesco/Sainsbury's only had "school" tights and ASDA only has the pretty patterned ones up to 5-6.
