The fountain's cool. The various water features there keep my children happy when we go. Plus at Christmas they have a singing Christmas tree. I get away with shopping along with three children aged 6, 4 and 2 years simply because every time we go into a shop I can promise them something new to look at "when we've been in here". It's better than our poxy town centre and all indoors so beats anywhere else nearby just now! First of me seeing this post. So... :lol: That's a pain in the arse. I'm annoyed too at having been unable to stop my car on black ice before colliding into the side of some woman's car yesterday. My insurers brought music to my ears with the words "You have nine years protected no claims, so your policy won't be affected in that way at all.". Silver linings and all that. Your car still looking ok Gaz?

I was going to say exactly that just now, but it appears she won't need to if Keith gets there first:- If I set the alarm on my mobile and then turn the handset off the alarm still goes off at the right time. Just a thought. It won't matter anyway. A dead man will not be expected to see to the baby. There was a whole discussion on a local radio station tonight where people were texting in saying how long they'd been stuck in queues waiting to get out of car parks. Some woman had been waiting over an hour to get out of the Trafford Centre while some other poor sod had been sat in Tesco's car park barely moving towards the exit for two hours! They had their kids in the car too! I was so glad I didn't take my children shopping this afternoon and even more so that I didn't brave it to Trafford today! It probably isn't amused because it's stuck under the floorboards wanting to get out. You go round waving sticks at buses these days?

Any chance it's under warranty?

Turns out I'm not hungry enough for so much food. My appetite's knackered with being ill this week. Still, plenty left for tomorrow now. My mum's bringing me soup and Irn Bru as well.

I just decided. Phoned a decent Indian place I'd forgotten about on the other side of town. Asked if they deliver to my area to be told in a friendly manner "of course we do!". The nice man also helped me with my indecisiveness over what to order and then told me in typical Rochdale fashion that I was being greedy.

Although I think I may be feeling a little better than I was earlier, I'm still feeling ill. My chest infection seems to be on its way out which is pretty early really to say I've only had it a few days, so I can't complain about that this time around. It's leaving me with a cold though and now I'm snuffly and sneezing all over the show! To be fair though, you won't be disappointed. I'm pleased with my N95. A word of warning though as you have kids - don't take the damn thing on the beach. Sand and slide phones don't mix well! Still, mine's all the better for the sanding down it took between fascias on holiday back in the summer.

This... followed by this... I hate to break this to you, but posting something on an internet forum which is open to the general public isn't exactly keeping something "under your hat". Oh, and I have my own petty things getting on my nerves just now. Family related but I don't think I even have it in me to rant just now! A good evening went pear-shaped on me anyway. And why is it that just as you start to feel better after a row something comes along to kick you back down again? I need something entertaining to come up on P&B to entertain me just now and make me laugh. Someone start a fight will you?

I think I'd find myself making a complaint if that was said to me in that context Keith! It's not on.

I very much doubt that they've refused to deal with it. I find it more likely they've made their stance clear and refused to budge from it. If they feel they're being reasonable and their comments are disputed then the way forward would be to go to Court, but it's hardly the biggest case in the world and worth a few minutes at Court to get his money back if your mate really isn't at fault. Not all people with pushchairs are inconsiderate. I could go the other way and say people who don't have pushchairs or don't have children are entirely ignorant and impatient and that just because my children are small, sometimes slow and still learning doesn't mean your manners have to disappear! I'm not going to though. Being a teenager isn't an indication of her mothering abilities. I've seen some teenagers who've really made the effort with their children and made a fab job of bringing them up. I've also seen some older mothers I've really wanted to slap when I've seen them out with their children.

For some reason P&B is now adding every last quote I've used on here in the whole time since I logged on tonight in every reply I post! Really? What are they going to do to it?

Your foot's completely knackered so they're amputating. So if you know that it strays at times why are you not paying more attention to make sure it doesn't? It's not really matter of being considerate, it's a hygiene issue. Don't leave your spilt urine just lying around the place! As for toilet seat up/down - I like the whole lid and not just the seat to be down. 1) It stops toddlers from fishing quite so readily by taking temptation out of their way. 2) Again, a matter of hygiene. Close the bloody lid! I have to do that too, it's not like I'm asking more of others than I am of myself!!!!!

All three of my children have colds. I have to say I don't feel 100% myself, but my poor wee boy (the wee-est one) is so bad with it that he's practically no voice at times. I'm taking him out in the morning with a wee friend of his for a cheer up. Off to a play place he loves. His friend is called Miles but Scott struggles to say that and ends up calling him Mouse. Did you say you tried to:- Now there's one to remember. When I saw that, I wasn't looking at who the poster was. Thought it was xbl for some reason. Almost fell off my chair.

I want a sausage supper. You'd be quicker walking.
