Any other superb bargains I may have missed out on?

Buttonmoons

My hair never recovered from having Keira, it went dead thin and straggly, and now I have an ED so my hair is even thinner and half my scalp shows through, clip in extensions give the bottom of my hair bulk, as I refuse to have it cut short but until it repairs itself i dont have a lot of "bulk"

Eye-ana It's ok, didnt want to sound like a moo but I cant say nothing can I? lol Ours was a family vote! We had 3 names each for either a boy or girl, then we got family members to choose favourites. Secretly, Ayana was my favourite! It means Lucky in Arabic and beautiful in another language I cant remember. Name meanings are very important.

I think name meanings are important too - I put all the meanings into our shortlist when we were picking names. Alice means truth and Lydia was the first recorded European Christian. When I had the miscarriage last month, we picked a name which could be short for either a boys name or a girls name - the girl name means "God is gracious" and the boy name means "He will add".

What sort of things did you occupy toddler with whilst giving baby solids? ATM I need to help kess with his eating so this needs my hands.

Not quite the same situation but before Alice was big enough to "help" with cooking etc. in the kitchen I used to put her in her highchair with a couple of toys while I was doing it and talk to her about what I was doing. I can't remember exactly which toys they were (and obviously it would depend on your child) but I kept the toys in the kitchen which I found kept her occupied/happy for the longest so that they were more novel. I seem to remember her alphabet jigsaw was quite good because once she got bored of it, it took a long time for her to drop all 26 pieces on the floor.

Also, how did you go out with the two of them? Like double buggy plus baby plus toddler plus me doesn't fit in the change facility anywhere I can think of locally (blush) so i feel I can't go out for more than about 45 mins. (poos are now vvv regular since fergs laxatives) So any tips around that would be welcome

When I take Alice to the toilet when we're out, I usually take her in the disabled toilet if it's available as I struggle to get two of us in a regular cubicle and then shut the door. (And OH takes her in the disabled toilet because he can't go in the ladies and doesn't think he should take her into the gents.) If your IKEA is like ours the disabled toilet should easily be big enough to fit you all plus pushchair in although I've never paid attention to whether the door would be wide enough. There's never been anybody waiting to use it when we've come out and even if there was, it's no different to having to queue if the regular toilets are busy and in lots of places the baby changing facility seems to be in the disabled toilet anyway.

Other possible options I can think of (which may or may not be that practical) are:
- Put K in a sling and take single pushchair. (Obviously this assumes K isn't too heavy, that you can deal with F with K in the sling and that you still have a single pushchair from before K was born.)
- If you're with a friend, ask them to watch pushchair and child you are not changing while you pop into changing facility.
- Find a suitably quiet corner somewhere and strategically place the pushchair to make changing more private.

Hope you feel better today Becles. You were in my dream the other night!! I came to stay at your house but when I got there I started to make bread (?) and then felt really rude cos it was your house, but had to finish cos I'd already started it!!

On your way back from Becles' house do you want to stop and make mine? It's so overdue we've actually bought bread for the first time in over a year.

Opened the exam paper and thought I was in the wrong exam. All the things my tutor said to revise as they'll probably be on the exam were not there and it felt like they've gone through 9 months of work and pulled out the most obscure little bits to ask questions on.

Head started to throb by 4pm, nose ran like a tap and the people in the bar next door made a terrible racket despite being asked to be quiet twice, which didn't help matters.

Be amazed if I've passed it and won't find out until January.

Nobody else felt very confident either. We all had a good rant about it afterwards and everyone said see you at the resits then.

If everyone else thought it was bad too then that is a good sign as they will probably moderate the marks up. When I was a student I had one really good exam where I reckoned I got about 60% and another really bad one where I reckoned I might have scraped 40 but they clearly moderated them as I got about 50% on both. And one of my friends managed to pass an exam she'd done so badly on that she hadn't even answered 40%. It must be hard waiting so long though - we had three weeks of exams and then found out our results about two weeks after the end of the exam period.
