I'm here but someone swapped my lovely, happy baby for a moany whingy one at some point when I wasn't looking so I'm struggling to get everything done that I wanted to. .

That happened to me today as well!

tia - if you are honest in your listing information and have realistic expectations on price, then why not give it a go?

I really don't feel great. Think a bath and early bed tonight for me. I feel like I did at the start of finding out I was pg :eek: But I think thts just because I feel sicky. I CANNOT be pg - having worst period of my life and I believe you have to do something special to fall pg these days before anyone starts to question me But I do feel rotton.

I was shocked to see them doing it again after all the problems though!

Hmm, those shoes are quite expensive, may have to stick to football boots.

They caused soo much hassle. Customer service must be dreading it!

Gill - How is T's skin now? Just a thought but he could be allergic to DB, I'd completely forgotten the reason we stopped using it and moved to Hydromol cream was that I was allergic to something in the DB and it made MY eczema worse! None of us have had any problems with the hydromol cream or oilatum cream (hydromol didn't clear Ed's eczema but certainly didn't make it any worse)

Thanks Sami, it was oilatum we had before, which kept it at bay but didnt get rid of it. I actually asked for more of that but this doctor likes to prescribe DB! (his words!) The backs of his legs look a lot better today while his tummy is no worse. I'll keep an eye on it though.

Hardly a question to ask a load of women, but blades, moulded or screw in studs on football boots?

*hopes Bruno is lurking*

Screw in studs are much better for muddy fields. My boys always make sure they get screw in ones over moulded and apparently blades are rubbish.

me thinks Teddy needs some kind of tracker/tag :rotfl:

I was kind of wondering if I could sew one of those key rings that make a noise into him

Her, and others, have to strip in the car park then sit on bin bags and towels for the journey home.

I get muddy for boot camp and bought a mechanics car seat cover. It's like a thick plastic bag that fits over the seat and it's been well worth the few quid I paid.

we used to like the cross country at school - nice chat and a stroll through the countryside we just sprinted the last 200m so we didn't look too lazy :cool:

We used to get sent out unsupervised and told the route to run on. So we used to run up the path and play on the swings for half an hour, then sprint back so we were out of breath :rotfl:

She just had some calpol, but DH said there is no point in getting her cough medicine as she'll be ok.

Errrm he's right When you cough, you cough out some of the mucus and germs that are causing the illness. If you use cough medicine, it causes the mucus and germs to stop in and you either take longer to get better, or the germs can develop into something worse. I really don't like cough medicine and never use it myself or on the bairns.

I'm really cross about Sunderland PCT. They weighed all the 5 year old's and have written to my boot camp trainer and told her that her daughter is 2lb overweight and have sent all this information about obesity and diets :mad: I've met the little girl in question, and she's certainly not overweight. She's really fit and healthy looking and she was running about all over the place showing us how to do proper press up's and stuff. I know they eat a healthy diet as my trainer has spoken about what they eat before. It's just going to give children a poor body image and food issues if they are telling them stuff like that :mad:

gill - I was given oilatum bath stuff on the NHS minor Ailments scheme once for LO. You can also buy it over the counter but it gets expensive. She had dry skin when younger and oilatum bath really helped. Is Diprobase the same as doublebase?
