Gap in the market for calcium water let’s go into businesseW have to make sure Everleigh gets calcium from other things. Not because of intolerance but she just flat out refuses all milks.
Only way we can get a bit of milk into her is a cup of teawhich limits it greatly.
Shes been like this from around 6 months. She was originally having a night time bottle of around 4oz. But she's refused that for the past 6 months too.
We have managed it so far!
could be worth a try if you run across it, although I absolutely understand that you’ve probably got milk fatigue.
Not baby things but I did get a Zara dress I wanted for 40% offMama Waka, back in the olden days of like 2010 I used to buy hemp milk sometimes, you still see it around sometimes but I think it’s mostly been squeezed out back to the sandal vegan health shops of the world as the more popular alt milks have squeezed it out
Congrats @LongishCat
Anyone got any good baby things in the Black Friday sales? I finally bought a simple buggy, we will use it but it’s mainly for my dad doing nursery runs for us. And I got him some Christmas socks, I’d put it off as a waste but he’s losing socks so often anyway that I figured why not.
Usually they go to school the term after they turn 4 I think so orange will start school I think jan 2025 free 30 hours from sept 2024 so I think they all get the same amount of free hours or am I being crayyyyzayWith the 30 free hours childcare, does it start from when they’re 3 until they start reception? So Baby Rose is a June baby so she’ll turn 3 in June 2024 and start reception in September 2025, so she’ll only get a year of it, whereas if shed been born the October before (so same school year) she’d turn 3 in October 2023 but still not start reception until September 2025,l (early babies are almost 5 when they start whereas late babies haven’t long turned 4) so we’d get almost 2 years of it. Is that right?

I thought they started in September but for slightly younger ones you could defer a term if you wanted. I have no idea why this is baffling me so much
Yes, that's right, so the 30 hours starts for you from September 2024 and will run for that year whereas child born 9 months earlier would have their 30 hours start in the January 2024 I believe and run to the same point.With the 30 free hours childcare, does it start from when they’re 3 until they start reception?

I’m not sure about this. I have an October baby and she got the 30 free hours from the December 2020 to September 2022
Yes - 30 hours are only if both parents work and earn over the minimum amount. All children are eligible for the 15 free hours though.
Well that seems a tad unfair, by virtue of having a summer baby I’ve got to pay an extra 9 months of nursery fees (I mean the whole system is unfair). Although I guess autumn babies would have started nursery earlier so it probably evens out?
By then she’ll be doing 22 hours a week which is £800 a month so will be a huge saving even splitting it over 51 weeks! Counting down the days
As an addition to this you can use the tax free childcare along side your free hours too. My daughter goes to preschool 4 days a week, I only pay for 2 of those days and even then only 80% of the cost. After 2 years of paying for childcare I suddenly feel richYou can also get 15 hours free from 2 years old if your household earn under a certain amount too. (think it's around 16k)
Again though, it's term time only. So if you go to a nursery all year round, the same as the 30 hours, it works out as less
Everleigh will just miss out on an extra term by a week.
Cut off is 31st March and she's 8th April so has to wait until September
For anyone with their children in nursery already, don't forget the tax free childcare the government offer to everyone
Yeah I don't think it works out as unfair, I think it's too lessen the unfairness - in both examples the parents have to pay for their child's nursery bills in full until the term after they are 3 years old, so that's the same, effectively you're not losing anything or having to pay for more time, they are just getting more time funded because there is more time to pay until they attend school.Well that seems a tad unfair, by virtue of having a summer baby I’ve got to pay an extra 9 months of nursery fees (I mean the whole system is unfair).

) glass of wine and I’ve got a headache today 
and he did the night feed so not like I haven’t slept. In other news I’m getting waxed today wooop feel like I’m lighting a fire it’s been nearly 3 months Yeah completely - my gut was “oh that’s unfair I have to pay an extra 9 months” but actually say both babies start when they’re 1, then the September baby has the extra 9 months then so it’s actually totally equal. I typed before I engaged my brain
Preach it sis
Don’t forget your tax free childcare (if you haven’t already!).Preach it sis
I’m dreading the nursery bill come sep once I got back to work, 3 days a week will be about 600 a month
