    Just found out that my ex (who owes me approx £kkkk in unpaid c/m from decades ago and who has resisted all efforts by various agencies to make him pay up) is gifting the child he's had in the meantime and who is now adult, the full deposit for a property.

    Which is fine, except that the person concerned is also about to acquire most of my DD's house contents.

    Which is fine, except they are not coming to collect these large items but want them delivered 40 miles.

    Which could be fine, except that the vanloading and delivery now apparently has to take place on the very same weekend that she's moving house herself with two small children.

    Which isn't fine. Not at all.

    I have just spent half an hour on the phone soothing my vexed and stressed DD, and to my credit I have made no comment to her whatsoever concerning the first paragraph above.

    Regarding the first paragraph. It will be paid out of his estate one day as these things don't go away. So keep you cool and know you are the better person.

    It is very difficult to answer. My son was over 8lb when he was born, seem to recall he was 20lb at around 9 months. My daughter was 6lb 6oz when she was born, hit 20lb at around a year. I think on average it tends to be at around a year give or take a couple of months.

    Also, different nappies fit different children differently too, some kids are slimmer than others in spite of being heavier, they are longer or sturdier etc.

    At birth my eldest weighed the least..... but was the fattest.

    At birth my youngest weighed the most (by far).....but was the skinniest!

    Kids are strange!

    Each of my children went up 2 lb 1 oz in weight.... I would have loved more children but thought I had to stop before I was giving birth to a teenager!

    noticed a few reductions on the toiletries in the 342 today - right guard, dark green simple wipes, Gillette shaving gel, lynx you spray venus blades packs £15 to £10 might be store specific though so will keep an eye on prices elsewhere

    Please can anyone help ?

    Most stores are happy to change a packet of nappies if wrong size/outgrown. Receipt helps but I expect they prefer it if you bought recently. Think dd changed sizes in boots and tesco without receipt. Sure this would be one of aau1 fields of expertise.

    I too have a new grandchild on the way. Very early stage due christmas day. Or starting on nappies just yet as seem to glitch often.
    Mum to be is a nurse and used to work gyne theatre recovery. She was lucky enough to see scans at 6,7 and 8 weeks when they finally gave her a photo. Past problems and a nice work colleage made the scans possible. They are over the moon :)
