I’m a big fan of dishwashers @Gidget00_ - but I don’t have one!
I think my French teacher just has a bit of a messiah complex and one time she got me to stand up in front of the class and read a text out and then got everyone else to tell me all my mistakes and she wouldn’t let me sit back down when I didn’t know the answer to something - she’s never done that with anyone else 😒😒😒 (and as a teacher myself that is the worst method ever and I would never do that to any of my students)
@strawb they hate us because they ain’t us 😏😏😏

Are there any decent places online to buy a silver tag for a necklace to get it engraved? Sometimes I see an online store and then I read reviews and they are awful. I've tried the local jewellers but they don't have what I want, or they are way too expensive. I'd be prepared to pay up to £100 for a silver tag, with engraving included in that price. Having said that, I have no idea if that's a reasonable expectation for that price!

thanks, how to tell if it’s the real deal? Just look for someone with good reviews I guess?

you have to be registered as a business to sell on Etsy so it won’t be a con and a lot of people post pictures with their reviews so you can see how things look irl

The teacher sounds horrible @soymilk 🙁 do you have to see her often?

what did everyone have for dinner? I made a chicken and mushroom pie, it was so nice.

@strawb I think you will like this 🥰

@fudgebox @Gidget00_ what sterilisers did you/do you use? I can’t sleep and am baby shopping 😂

lol I’m also awake baby fudge is having a bottle 😆
At first I used the tommee tippee electric steam steriliser, but now I have the Milton bucket and use the liquid Milton with cold water and I much prefer it! You just change the water every 24 hours and so easy to just drop things in throughout the day and you don’t have to dry them off or anything just shake them off a bit, the Milton is safe for them to drink from!

also I use the mam bottles and they can be sterilised in the microwave on their own which is handy if I’m at someone’s house and need to sterilise it!

Honestly it’s so good! If you’ve got the nuby rapid cool that can only be sterilised in the cold water steriliser that’s why I got it 😆and now I’m using the bigger mambottles I don’t think they would’ve fit in my tommee tippee steriliser anyway as they are so tall 🤔
Do you know which formula you’re going to use? We’ve used cow and gate since Harry was born because that’s what the hospital provided, but I wish I started on Kendamil because I’ve been reading it’s really good and doesn’t cause colic or reflux or anything which Harry has suffered with!! I’m not sure if there’s any point changing now he’s 4 months because he is settled now🤔
