P is also interested in food. Nt surprised - her milk is horrid

Same person VQ. I went to school with her - from a tiny village.

Picture of bear with can of Stella and a full ashtray sophia?

ValiumQueen · 10/02/2013 13:22

J is also interested in food in a way the girls never were. He had a brief taste of banana from DD2 before I removed it. I think it was just a lick as she was trying to get him to take a bite. Cannot even blink in this house. The baby jail is no longer working as she just picks it up and walks with it.

ValiumQueen · 10/02/2013 13:25

I did wonder pass as thankfully it is very rare. So sad.

sophia I hate when the sodding class bear comes home. It has been to NY, Egypt etc. it is a competition.

ValiumQueen · 10/02/2013 13:38

Same age as me dicks We have a tent, but I dream of having a Winebego (spelt wrong no doubt)

TooManyDicksOnTheDancefloor · 10/02/2013 13:39

FT columnist Janan Ganesh has tweeted this today- @JananGanesh: The woman next to me on this plane is actually breast feeding. Tyler Brule doesn't have to put up with this.

What a knob

Catbag · 10/02/2013 14:00

What a twonk, dicks. I hope Twitter is flaming him as we speak Angry

Passmethecrisps · 10/02/2013 14:10

I just had a look. Few people having a go.

Kyzordz · 10/02/2013 14:30

Morning all! Ds slept 8:30-10:45, fed, bed at 11:30-7:30 then fed, then 8:15-10-45!!! Then up for 90 mins and a 30 min nap, is now eating a crinkly toy and watching fantasia! All in all a good night! Hope everyone else's went ok potters off to read the pages not yet caught up on

ChunkyChicken · 10/02/2013 14:36

Agree toomany twunt.

DS asleep again. DD having a paddy about cBeebies being turned off for the,rugby. DH engrossed in rugby (although is actually trying to get DD to go for a nap now as I type...). Its all fairly typical in the Chicken house!!

kissyfur · 10/02/2013 14:38

Bit late to the party as usual but marking my place...

ValiumQueen · 10/02/2013 14:39

DH has taken the girls out in the car

TheDetective · 10/02/2013 14:40

Today I wish I had Twitter TooMany. I suspect Janan Ganesh will wish the opposite by the end of today.

Evil, wot VQ said. I gave it to DS1 unsuspectingly, after a family members 'advice'. Nothing happened, and I didn't know anything could, until a lot later down the line. He's here, he's fine, don't stress on what is done. Just keep an eye out. There are a few things that shouldn't be given before certain ages. I really must read up on them myself, as my brain lets me down again!

Stunt frequent possetting has been a recent development in camp detective. I thought it might be the change in teats, tried the old teats, made no difference. So I got some dentinox drops. I ummed and ahhed over infacol/gripe water/dentinox drops. I went for the latter in the end. Anyway, I have put them in to 2 feeds a day, and this has helped drastically. Other than when DP does the jiggles after a feed. Stupido.

Pass That made my blood run cold. It is rare, but so so so tragic. Poor family. poor baby. Just awful. Cruel and unfair. I used to worry about these things awfully. Every story I hear, the more the worry sinks back in. :(

Regarding wills, I do not have one. I have no assets, I'm not sure a house in negative equity could be classed as an asset Confused. I have never known what to do, because I could not decide regarding guardians etc. Having 2 children to two different fathers makes that impossible for me. I don't want my children split up :(

What do others do with similar situations? I'd like both children to stay with my mum in an ideal world, and DP to live with my mum. That ain't gonna happen! I think DP would do a good job with Oscar, but not on his own, he would struggle emotionally/financially/practically, and I wouldn't want that for him. And I think DS1 needs a stronger figure in his life, his 'disney dad' is a bad influence on him, and DP can't get the good behaviour I can out of him. My mum can though.

Chick Depending on local policy, depends on which babies are offered iron/folic acid/vitamins. Here it is prescribed for babies who were born before 37 weeks AND who are below 2.5kg. Therefore it is not routinely given to premature infants unless they are under 2.5kg. Babies above 37 weeks who are less than 2.5kg don't get them prescribed. Each Trust has their own guidance.

Regarding iron supplementation, I've had a little read around, and found the following links which I thought was interesting:

From Kellymom.

NHS weaning leaflet.

Have to give up on this post, been at it an hour, arghhh! Be back later! Been abandoned by DP with a sick baby. Tosspot. He's gone to see a relative with his mum. Except he rang me 90 mins ago and said they weren't going as his mum had stuff to do at home. So he is at his mums. And I am home alone with a sick baby. Thanks, fucker. I'll get him back.

Catbag · 10/02/2013 14:51

detective You absolutely should have a will as a property owner, even if your house is in negative equity. It might well not stay there. You don't want your estate being dealt with under the intestacy rules as your DP would not have a claim, and what there was would most likely be split twixt your kids and your parents, if your parents were still about :o
Other law people? zcos? Is that about right?

TheDetective · 10/02/2013 15:00

Would they not be liable for the mortgage and negative equity though?! DP could never afford this house on his own. Neither could ds1's dad. I'd rather it just went to the bank than gave them hassle.

I really have nothing of value to leave behind :(

kissyfur · 10/02/2013 15:02

Just used my twitter account for the first time in years to berate @jananganesh! What a moron

Pass that's so so sad :( I really need to get a will done

TooManyDicksOnTheDancefloor · 10/02/2013 15:08

Me too kissy, perhaps if we get the whole of MN to do it he'll have to appologise or get the sack?

ChunkyChicken · 10/02/2013 15:16

Do you not have life assurance to pay the mortgage in the event of your death detective? DH (& I to a certain extent) are, partly because of this, worth more dead than alive. If one or both of us dies, the mortgage is paid off. I would get DH's death in service benefit & pension etc. & vice versa, but his benefits are better than mine in those circumstances.

W/out a will, your DP would be kicked out & I believe, your dc would go to your next of kin as you're not married (although that may have changed) despite their DF's being named on the birth cert. Your house would eventually be sold for whatever they could get and the bank would take it to cover their debt.

I realise I'm in no better position (although we're married, ours in a joint mortgage & joint home ownership & we have life assurance) as I don't have a will, & have yet to put the trust in place to ensure the dc get at least some of the life assurance we've got in addition to that for the mortgage, but its def worth doing.

ChunkyChicken · 10/02/2013 15:17

I don't have Twitter. Tempted to sign up...

PurplePidjin · 10/02/2013 15:34

I swapped my T25 with my dad for his Punto Sad and will be selling the bug Sad which is also 43 years old. Dp and I met through vw's

kissyfur · 10/02/2013 15:38

I expect there is already a thread on here about him and his stupid comments Toomany! He's going to be in for a shock when his flight lands

TheDetective · 10/02/2013 15:40

No. I have no insurances.

I'm worth nothing dead.

Confused

I know I should, but I had to economise when I was a single parent, I couldn't afford it otherwise. Now I'm not single, I'm possibly worse off than when I was single. Shite.

TooManyDicksOnTheDancefloor · 10/02/2013 15:41

Do you go to vw shows purple?
