June mummies '05 thread 9 - The one where small beginnings become great things

[katzg]

one brand new thread!

what will our babies do this month?

[Noggermum]

Hello y'all, you've probably forgotten me as have been lurking but not posting in ages. We have two teeth AT LAST - thought she was going to be gummy for life, crawling like a demon, cruising, stair climbing, feistiness and tantrums. HUGE tantrums, we are talking onm the floor fists pounding "why aren't i getting that chocolate now" kind of tantrums. Would never have believed it possible of an 11 month old (older sister has only had about three tantrums in her life so am tantrum virgin and a bit gobsmacked -and hugely entertained - by it all). Otherwise all is joyful in the Nogger house!

Trib - quit highly paid job on birth of DD2 as 2 sets of nursery fees would have left me enough cash for petrol commute costs and not a penny more. It is extortion. Now considering whether I have energy to do some work from home at night after kids have gone to bed and coming to conclusion that I don't even have energy to watch eastenders most nights so probably not!

TAKE THAT ROCK! Howard is living proof that bodies need not collapse after age 35. Try explaining that to DH. Am also now in love with Beverley Knight. Want that costume.

Nogger - wasn't it just the best concert ever! i loved Take That!

Trib - on the childcare costs front - i know! this is one of the reason Dh and i both work part time and why i spend one of my lunch hours rushing to pick the girls up and taking them home so we don't need another nursery session, you can save a little by using childcare vouchers and some people qualitfy for a contribution through working families tax credit but we don't. its is crazy

hi all
god i am having the most stressful time my manager is being an unreasonable bitch from hell HR is trying to mediate but i am tired of this and don't really want to fight or involve union. really must decide today if going back or not and having to pay back money, completely driving me mad
paid childcare was never really an option but i did look into it to cover all basis and the prices around here are just unbelievable

so sorry about the rant i just needed to vent thanks for listening

[tribpot]

Well ladies I thought I would just make matters worse by mentioning \link{http://www.kela.fi/in/internet/suomi.nsf/NET/100502155308EH?openDocument\this} is what you get given in Finland when the baby is born, the box it comes in doubles up as a Moses basket!

And my friend in Stockholm is paying 70 quid A MONTH for full-time childcare for her ds.

HARRUMPH!

sfx, sorry to hear you are having problems, it's so difficult to have the energy to fight these things isn't it?
