MSE Parents Club Part 15

Somnium

yeay for winning EA what did you get it for? I love a good ebay bargain, am currently nosing to find some nice bits for our dinning table to make it look pretty.

Well computer desk partially stripped now and have a very itchy nose from all the dust. Will send computer tower to brother (via my mums) to see if he can get it working, if not its no loss.

Evening! The day wasn't TOO bad, minus being in a car for 4.5hrs (horrid roadworks crap M25 traffic on the way with a fussy baby who wants nothing more than to be free and wiggling around on the floor = not so fun). The place we went for lunch was so slowwwww, we were there for 3 hours! I have no idea why on earth it was picked for a 21st birthday dinner, as SIL only ate half her main course and had a Coke. What's the point?

Gill, sorry no idea about pureeing meat. Have you thought about just giving him chunks instead? Sorry I can't be more helpful - we started off with everything - beef, chicken, pork (actually, he LOVED beef much more than chicken in the beginning, probably because it has more flavor?).

GISI, thanks for asking. I go back a week from Tuesday.

PP - I have the same problem here. The boys make Charlotte fetch and carry for them and it makes me cross. Their logic is that I say things like "can you get me 4 carrots out please" when I'm cooking tea, but she likes helping and getting stuff out for me. They just ask her to fetch stuff that they are too bone idle to get themselves!

I agree it's awkward with her being a step daughter. Could you get OH to have a word with her?

Oh my gosh! According to a BMI chart, Chris is overweight?! I would seriusly hate to see a healthy weight child...

Throw the BMI chart in the bin! I hate those things. They don't take into account body structure, so top athletes are classed as obese as their bodies weigh heavy due to all the muscles they have.

I bought a mop today, one that you can attach floor wipes to, and i mopped the bathroom and kitchen in minimal time

Oooh that sounds good! Can I ask where did you get it from and how much did it cost?

Be handy as the field is waterlogged at the moment and we get filthy when we go for a walk, so the porch floor is manky

I didn't get the free game either. They'd all sold out first thing this morning.

Som, is it Christmas dining table bits or in general? I got a glittery plate from Halfcost for £1, it's rectangular like our table and I was going to put candles and pretty balls on it.

I just want to be able to hear baby, and im v. Paranoid

I want to start painting the living room, but need to sort toilet out first as suddenly loads of mould appeared which had clearly just been painted over. Should cost about £20 for mould remover and mould resistant paint

Bec, its from wilko and was about £5. Its comes with static cloths to attach but i bought floor wipes for £1

Somnium

SS - general and Xmas table bits

We're going to into town on Tuesday, so I think we might be going to Wilko's now

EA - when Som asked what you got it for I think she meant how much did you pay :rotfl:

I may have to get one of those mops...I really must mop the kitchen and bathroom floors more frequently

Evening all,

Hope everyone is ok?

:j for Tia & Amber, being home, new bedroom and getting better :j

PP I'm guilty of being that older sister My little sis is only 10 and I'm always asking her to do things for me, she doesn't seem to mind...and I used to be that little sis to my big bro! There's a big difference though if she's potentially putting littlies into a dangerous position, and I'd be inclined to tell her as much.

EA yay for doppler, are you gonna get a 4d scan again this time? Me & DH were discussing last night whether we would or not, we concluded we wouldn't, and we wouldn't find out the sex either, totally hypothetical though, I'm afraid of more babies

Gill I've blended chicken before and it smells really gross so I mix it with something else, usually something of a wet consistency like apple rather than potato which is a bit thicker. I'm sure it would be fine either way though Also I know I've missed the car talk boat but we have the First Class and it's ok, think once he moves to the next stage and is forward facing I'm going to go for something else and leave the FC in DH's car as the straps are a bit of a PITA.

Redstar - we've had problems with most milks but when we tried the follow on milk he developed really really bad wind and his puking got even worse. I know that's a useless bit of info though

Cafc that's a gorgeous pic of your babies

Has anyone been to Tumble Tots before? Or Sing & Sign? We're off to try Tumble Tots on Tuesday but I'm not really sure what it is :cool:

I tried to find the Staydown milk in Tesco the other day to no avail Though last night he refused milk at bedtime as he'd eaten loads of dinner then had an early bed, and we had a much more peaceful night...but then I worry about not giving him milk, then rationalise that he mostly throws it up anyway, then I don't know what to do!

On happy news, I am off to pick up a Mamas and Papas 03 Sport tomorrow...for free It has dodgy wheels apparently but I'll get my dad on the job and hopefully have a lovely wood walking pushchair for £0! Oh and my boy can now get himself all the way up the stairs :eek: I left him downstairs with DH this afternoon whilst I was upstairs sorting some things, went out on to the landing and he was there yanking on the cats fur :eek:
