This thread's topic is what size of nappies are your babies in? And how are the cloth bum babies doing?

chasing that post has put a huge grin on my face :o how lovely to read

detective LO liked the roast lamb and the lentilly EK pouches the most.

TheDetective · 05/07/2013 16:07

Im on my way to Morrisons now so I shall give those a look! I have my email from EK with me with the dairy free ones listed! I rang them yesterday and they sent me a list out :)

Can anyone recommend a good booster style high chair for taking out that O won't be able to escape from? Thank you!

ChasingDaisy · 05/07/2013 16:08

Oh and PR, I'm ready Smile Will PM you tonight when O is in bed.

horseylady · 05/07/2013 16:08

Ds hates the ek meals. Will eat the veg/fruit ones. Not the meals.

I think I'm going with a cm. dh doing my head in as wants as cheap as possible. May end up in proper full blown argument at this rate!!! Stupid bloke.

Vq hope he gets well soon xx

TheDetective · 05/07/2013 16:13

Cross post chasing. I've got a big Grin on my face for you!

It's an awesome feeling isn't it?

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 16:22

You sound ready chasing :) looking forward to your message.

I might not answer immediately as am planning on an early night as getting up first thing to go to the market tomorrow as by late morning it will be too hot and the fruit stands will be covered in wasps. But I will answer by tomorrow evening.

Pikz · 05/07/2013 16:30

Chasing that is awesome Grin

Amoxipoo is the worst Hmm

Det the gro one works for this monster!

Stacks · 05/07/2013 17:14

You guys can really talk! I'm managing to keep up, just.

Izzy, I hope you get a good night soon. I finally broke last night - cue dumping a screaming DS onto DH before running back upstairs and crying under the duvet. :(

I thought I'd see I'd you guys knew about this website. You can buy stuff half price or less, but only one of each. It's great for the food pouches, you can see which brands/flavours your LO likes without paying full price. Few people from my breastfeeding group used it, then signed up their parents/inlaws to order again.

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2013 17:22

stacks we used to get through threads in 3 days back in the day when we were all permanently stuck to the sofa and it was too cold to go out and get a life.

Evening all, what a lovely lovely day.

Chasing you made me beam from ear to ear, so happy for you.
VQ amoxipoo sounds terrible. If it helps, Mothercare have buy 1 get 2 free on Huggies wipes at the mo Grin
PR I love French markets, they're about a million times better than the ones over here.

So I dragged dh around the nurseries today. My gut told me to go with the meadow one. Financially we can make it work, it is a lovely place which encourages the children to go outside in all weather - and we abandoned F for 30 minutes whilst we sorted paperwork and she was mooing and growling contentedly at the staff having spent the morning screaming MILs house down She starts on Monday with an induction thingummy. I am off work for another week, unpaid - but am doing a locum shift on Sunday afternoon which will more than make up for the loss.

It all feels goooood Smile

Bryzoan · 05/07/2013 20:00

Chasing that is so wonderful to hear Grin. You have earned that happiness. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Vq - sounds rough. Hang in there.

Mm - cruising?!?! Yowsers.

Elizadoesdolittle · 05/07/2013 20:00

Hehe I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have pages to trawl through this evening. Not that I find it a chore of course, just sometimes it's nice to be able to read and post without having to read through too much first iyswim. I'll stop now before I dig a huge whole for myself! I remember the days when gtbaby tried to police our posts and limit them, with very little success I may add!

stacks Thanks for that website. Never heard of it. I jut through away pretty much a whole meal of lovingly made puree that E hardly touched. It's depressing doing that so I'll get a load of food from that site to put in the cupboard for times like today.

chasing What a lovley happy post. So pleased for you. And what a nice thing for your dad and stepmum to do.

Congratulations mm I'm glad it was a lovely day.

I too can't stand baby Jake....freaks me out!!

Got to go...E has stirred. Be back laterz

Bryzoan · 05/07/2013 20:03

Brilliant bp! Sounds really great. You have truly made a bad 'ting good as rastamouse or pass might say!

BigPigLittlePig · 05/07/2013 20:05

Tonight F had spag bol, unpureed, as it came. She liked it, lots. Unfortunately, on the last mouthful, it went the wrong way and we had the first vom incident since weaning began. Thank goodness for pelican bibs Grin. My mum looked like this Shock and dsd looked like this Envy then announced she didn't like her tea, which made me look like this Hmm. And F just Grin and mooed for more.

PurplePidjin · 05/07/2013 20:07

Tired, grumpy, teething, snottery, nap-dodging baby

Am broked

ChasingDaisy · 05/07/2013 20:14

Oscar went to sleep at 7 but woke up at half past and has been screaming ever since. no idea why. I settled him once, but as soon as I was out of sight laying on his floor, he screamed again.

StuntNun · 05/07/2013 20:16

Nice to hear you sounding so positive Chasing, the first of many happy moments from now on.

I have just washed broccoli out of the bath. Shock Oh well there's a first time for everything.

We're going on holiday on Monday, only to haggisland (mmmm haggis) it's true but I suspect I will need to pack the entire house.

YellowWellies · 05/07/2013 20:29

Stunt great timing for a visit to Scotland - it's due to be 25-6 degrees in Fife. Are you going to visit the haggis quiche? We'd love to see you Smile

Evilwater · 05/07/2013 20:43

Hello all, I'm back from work.
n was wonderful, he is now asleep and I'm scoffing a custard pot. Grin work was fine.

My feet are swollen, and are very sore.

I'm going to have a cuppa then bed.
Evil

Elizadoesdolittle · 05/07/2013 20:50

I've done that too stunt Bloody stuff gets everywhere!

kirrinIsland · 05/07/2013 20:51

Yay for 3 hours izzy :)

bry I haven't found my abs yet. When I do I'll check if they're separated or not. I'm not sure if I'll know if they are or not to be honest....

Congratulations on your graduation MM Glad you had a good day.

Lovely to read your post chasing This really is the start of the rest of your life :)

O proof portable high chairs detective ? having seen the photos on FB I'm not convinced such a thing exists Grin

Thanks for the website stacks I am off to place an order.
How are you feeling now? Did you get any sleep?

Glad work went well evil

I have finished the second week of my work course - so far so good. I do feel a bit brain dead though! I am both amazed at the ops and medical things that can be done for people and horrified at the sheer number of things that can go wrong with us. Kudos to you medical people who are actually out there doing this stuff.

I have been really lazy this week and used pre-made formula all week Shock Really has helped with getting other stuff done in the evenings though - making bottles seems to take much longer than it should.

ChasingDaisy · 05/07/2013 21:17

Almost two hours and he won't bloody sleep. he never does this. And he is going to see XP all day tomorrow.

Elizadoesdolittle · 05/07/2013 21:26

kirrin I agree. Even though I now make the bottles up for 24 hours I still feel like it takes forever and is such a faff. Glad your work course is going ok.

pr Enjoy the market.

bplp Sounds like you made the right choice. I really hope F is happy there.

I'm sulking tonight. I really want to watch the tennis but I can't stand Murray. Sorry haggis peeps. It's not that he's scottish, it's the whole hoo ha that comes with him and I can't bear his bloody mother and the stupid crowd. I really wish the Djorkovic V Del Porto was on this evening as I would have loved to watch that one. Murray is ruining my love of wimbledon.

YellowWellies · 05/07/2013 21:34

Come on Murray!!!!!! See I luff watching him compared to say Henman of old, because you don't get the screamy harridan middle English naice Mums squealing 'Tim' with anguish every five minutes. Possibly because he's not so shit! Smile Mentally he's on fire - cracking performance!
