    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    LOL! Bexta, my friends LO takes any opportunity to sneak a feed. Her mum was lying on the floor doing something with the cables to the tv, she wriggled over, hoiked her top and stole a feed. Yet if she picks her up for a feed she refuses. Shes only into sneaky feeds.

    I dont know how to look at their previous bids, it shows an anonymous username (well starred the middle). Can you do it from that? :o

    <snip>
    ah I hate the hidden bidder thing, I don't think I could find out sorry :( I would still report it to ebay tho
    Are you having a laugh?

    I don't see it as unacceptable at all, dangerous maybe but it is hardly the end of the world if he wants something on the table.

    I doubt very much that he will turn into a teenager who still climbs onto the table to do some drawing :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Not at all.
    I thought a self-titled victorian mother would be more strict about children using furniture as climbing frames *shrug*
    I'm genuinely interested in what age you think its becomes unacceptable/you will stop him?

    My Children sit at a table to draw, as I did as a child. We don't have a dining table any more but if I still did and a friend of mine came to visit and their child climbed on it I would expect them to remove the child and tell them off.
    I'm not saying your wrong/I'm right or anything, just surprised as I thought you would be stricter on something like that.

    Have read back a few pages - night feeds???? :o:o:o:o:o
    Dropped around 4 months, started again at 9 months (when I went back to work) and still has one at 12 months :o:o:o:o He just won't drop it and whilst I'm only up for 10mins max, I CBA to try stopping it again. It takes hours to get him off and I just give up anyway!

    J is a climber too - he tries to stand on top of his Ride On Car and shuffle it along and can almost climb into the bath! We are in the process of clearing our dining room table so that we can start actually using it, oh and I bought the Antilop today!! :D But the legs are so wide so at the mo it take up loadsa room. Got it for a rather bargainous £7 as they had none in stock so I got a display one (which had been on the wall) with £5 knocked off :money:

    Bought his new shoes on Wednesday - went for Clarks ones. Got these

    Can't get wellies until he's a size 4. He walks everywhere now but we have noticed (well, nursery did) that his left foot turns out slightly when he walks :(

    hugs to everyone, I'm so busy right now with work and home stuff so no chance to keep up

    I wouldn't expect him to do it anywhere else, and he wouldn't, but I don't think it is unacceptable for him to climb on the table to draw, he can't reach properly from a chair, although he has recently starting sitting to eat with us on a chair if we are having sandwiches/finger foods.

    I am not sure what you think is so unacceptable? I am not sure what I am supposed to be strict about? I am very confused that someone who doesn't have a dining table thinks that it is important that my child isn't allowed onto mine to draw *shrug*

    Ed has those too :D
    I wouldn't worry about his walking atm, Ed saw a physio and podiatrist about his and both said although it looks 'wrong' its normal and they don't worry about turns etc unless they are still present at around 3yo.
    Missed you lovely, hows things at work now?

    Well, not so great. Especially as some silly bint has been saying she is my manager when she doesn't even work in my organisation! We provide them with a service so she thinks she my boss :mad:

    I am applying for a job near Trafford Centre so fingers crossed

    ooooooooooooo and MFD I sent my CV to someone who does the same job as what I am applying for to see her thoughts and she thought it read really well and was laid out brilliantly AND that she would definitely interview me based on my CV so THANK YOU!!!!

    I saw Chris had started nursery but I've just PM'd you rather than asking on her cos I'm way behind!

    ETA - Oh and thanks for the info from Pod & Physio - just showed OH as he is really worried!

    Off to bed now as Tooth Number 5 is coming through so imagine tonight won't be great *rollseyes*
