Right I take back my previous thanks to whoever suggested Vinted, you are going to bankrupt me tit keeps coming that I have to make vague attempts to justify, pray tell how the duck can I justify a Mike Wazowski onesie and a knitted pumpkin hat as essential during a complete spending ban? 🫠

@LongishCat so pleased to hear about your mums results, glad you’ve finally had some good news

regarding the food chat on the last thread, all I have to offer is that mashed potato sandwiches used to be my favourite things ever, it’s one weird childhood eating habit I can’t give up and still have one now whenever I make anything with mash.

I have 5 Vinted parcels en route at the moment. I'll have to pull some ninja tactics to try to intercept the postie.

I did warn you

 

[jackolantern]

I can’t say I partake in any weird food things because I have the taste palate of a 3 year old and beige is my bestie, but, my friend years ago used to eat apple slices smothered in butter and rolled in sugar she’d apparently fit in well with you Neanderthals

 

[calmyourritas]

@cupcake_face yes we have this mirror which lights up and plays music. It’s expensive but she loves it 🥲🥲

We also have a 3 hour drive next week for our staycation and I’m hoping it will keep her entertained / send her to sleep

It is I! None of the other options applied, as I work in childcare, have nieces and nephews but am not a KW!

We are in danger nap territory. The baby is on the edge of a breakdown but still over and hour until we’re even going to think about bed time. I’m going to try my hardest to keep him awake and distracted

 

[Celeste]

I have mine sent to the local corner shop and pop in on our walks then hide bringing them into the house via the pram

Genius!! May adopt this.

Yaaassss I made a thread title. I’ve peaked. I may go into tattle retirement.

baby T has been dropping his afternoon nap this week, I’ve still been trying to get him down for one because he shows tired queues but he fights through it and then seems wide awake again, until about half 5 when he gets really tired so then it’s a battle to try to keep him awake for another hour! At the moment he’s led on his play mat watching the clangers and so far it’s working
