MSE Parents Club Part 14

Had a much better driving lesson today... Followed by a game of battleships with Aimee... And now hubby's making me a lovely bacon sandwich

Bruno, sorry your privacy is being invaded, and you don't even have a new bed by way of compensation... But just like childhood... In the grand scheme of things, this is 5 mins... They will be gone before you know it, and it will be harder for Mrs B to wave her Dad off than it is for you to put up with him a while... I'm sure you'll get through it alive and with most of your sanity intact

How did E go to bed last night with Grandpa interrupting his routine?

Peanut butter cheesecake....mmmmmm! Send some down this way please, Aless! I'd love the recipe too lovely Weezl so look forward to that post!

Super-duper happy as I just bought some like new smart black Next trousers in a charity shop :j. Not sure if I mentioned but I have a worky conference in a couple of weeks (overnight job) and was slightly panicking that I no longer have any smart business wear, but these are lovely for £3 and just like my old pair which are now too scruffy for best (and cost £30).

Glad the fairies made it Kindof .

GISI, forgot to say that the shelves in H's room look so cute! I had wanted some of the Lidl ones, so may need to go to Argos quite soon. Right now, the toys are rather spread all over the lounge floor instead . Well done your charity shop find, too! I was eyeing up black skirts yesterday, but I didn't have £3 in change :rotfl:.

I too would like Weezl's version of the cheesecake. DH was watching nigella with me and he has demanded that I make it So I may as well make Weezls

Also, Amber is growing OUT OF 12-18 month clothes! All the nice winter stuffI bought for her may be too small come Christmas. She has just suddenly got massive!

Oh yeah I wanted to get her a bracelet for Christmas since I forgot it for her birthday.

And I also sat on my daughter earlier. She crawled along the sofa and I squished her. She was not amused. And I feel totally bad for squishing her with my fat butt! It was funny in a perverse way though, she just lay there, squished, and yelling!

The thought of a squished Amber just made me LOL, in a nice way (and I only say I LOL'd if I actually did).

The shelves are in the lounge, Aless, although I may move them upstairs once the changing station is gone. I think the are good for £16.99 and much more usable for H than most storage solutions.

Anyone want a free crafty book? http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....php?t=2766188. Well £2.95 P+P but I've ordered the boxes and wotsits one, maybe a pressie, maybe to keep!

May I suggest that you PM any ebay details that might turn up? Especially if one of them happens to be that furry coat? Or pre-ebay details if you want to dodge the fees.

I hope she's fine, but :rotfl:

SS, would she still fit 6-9 dress and leggings?

The purple coat still fits her. Did you get one? My asda still has them if you want one sent over. I don't think anything else will be in good enough condition, but I will have a look.

Edit: I feel like paid help would be giving in

I know this feeling well. But caz and others are right. For what its worth, I think that for a child to be happy, they really need a happy mummy. it takes all sorts of things to make people happy - you just have to find what works for you and your family. It might or might not be what has workd for others, but the main thing its that it works for you.

I had quoted other things but they have disappeared!

I went to the playgroups sale of work today with a friend. We left babies with daddies and got great bargains. Some jigsaws, a couple of books, 2 cookery books for me, a wooden train that is brand new and all for £5 including coffee and a biscuit! It was also nice to see a mummy friend wihtout LO around.

My mobile phone is giving up the ghost and its chrger has just died so off to read up on how to get a replacement withough needing a new contract or spending much money - Its wasted on me as I only txt and call - I don't need cameras and t'internet etc....

No and Caz very kindly sent her fairies with a coat but it got lost on the way We do have a winter coat but I was all *love* about the furry one. Ah well - Molly will be warm whatever happens.

Husband's gone for a snooze. I've played with the baby, done the dishes, tidied up, put the first load of laundry in and almost been flattened by falling wood out of a broken Ikea box. Things are ok, I think.

And thanks MacSmiler, I try to be a happy mummy and most of the time I'm ok.

i have been mega busy this morning and think im going to be brave and sell the Jane twin! i havent used it since buying the Stokke and its a waste just having it lying around hopefully it will give me a kick up the bum to list more things!
