dd1 was sick this morning...

[misdee]

has fionally managed to keep some bread down, and is now settling with some popcorn and a dvd. thing is, i need to get milk, so do i just drive to the garage and pay over the odds, but leave the kids in the car on the forecourt, or risk the supermarket?

Can't anybody get some for you? If not, I'd just go to garage, if it just milk you need.

Poor DD

can't a neighbour help??
sorry no help

yes just milk i need. well i guess i could try and eek the 2pints out til tomorrow morning.

oh -the garage!!!!!!
what's wrong with leaving the kids in the car on the forecourt??????????/

( am i asking for trouble saying that?)

nope, both neighbours are disabled or have disabled kids, one is dairy free so cant even borrow a pint off them.

if theres noone to help then I'd do the garage and leave the kids in the car

I always leave mine in the car, think it'd be a bit dangerous (and a nightmare!) to mess about with car seats, toddler, bag, keys etc...

Times like this I am so thankful for the garage!

i am also thinking garage is best option, but have just had the car valeted and diont want sick in it again lol.

how old is dd1, can she hold a bucket in front of her in the car???

Is the stuff you have full-fat? If it is you could make it last by diluting 50/50. I have done that before and it just tastes like semi.

Or do you have a tin of carnation milk luring in a cupboard anywhere? You can make a pint of milk from one tin.

lurking even

could one of the neighbours just sit in with the kids while you whizz out to shop?

good point SG. i really dont want to go out tbh.

also have some powdered milk i use for breadmaking which dd2 will drink if i put nesquick and blend it with ice.

sounds like you shouldn't bother going out hun
try all the other ideas

alexsmum, not really, for the reasons below. i dont think old george next door is too well himself. i also dont know my neighbours that well as since i mioved here i spend more time at the hospital than here.

i'd just make do with what you've got then hun. the one who has been sick won't need any milk anyway!

she is annoyed at no milk today. good job i stocked up on fruit juices last week. am diluting them for her and only small cup as well.

she had a high temp and sopre ears/throat saturday, but seemed fine yesterday, but was sick this morning.

sounds a bit ear infection y.
poor thing-nothing worse than ear ache.

has sparkly moved yet by the way?

nope, not yet

nightmare.
