BLW - Baby led weaning support thread

wow that was a much longer post than i meant it to b! sorry 4 the essay!

Oh don't be sorry Purple Socks, I always like to read what you have to say!

I'm exactly the same about the posh thing. I would no way call myself 'posh' but do have a pretty well spoken accent. Add that to being a bit shy and reluctant to speak to new people unless they've made the first move, and people assume I'm a snotty cow

It sounds like you're doing a great job involving Kian at mealtimes and the toy food is a great idea!

Ruby's new highchair has arrived! I never thought I would be so excited about a highchair, I'm a right saddo these days. Just need OH to come home and put it together as I am useless at such things

thanks! and i'm with u on the 'saddo' thing:...i get v excited over various baby gadgets! i have no life anymore!!! me and OH ended up having a 'folding up/ setting up' the push chair race when i was pregnant! it was the highlight of my day! and last night i sat working out how to play 3 blind mice on Kians christmas present (an octotunes!)...sad! sad! sad!

Lol! I was even telling my friends the other day that i couldn't afford something because I'd spent all my money on a Stokke highchair. They had never heard of it and were not remotely impressed! Thank God for BnB

Ha ha, beat this, the nappy we use at night time has inserts and boosters that pop together, me and OH time each other to put it together...I usually win of course

It's his turn tonight...

Lmao I'm glad it's not just me that has no life anymore

Sounds like you'll have no trouble when you start with Kian, Purple socks.. Sounds like he's so interested already! I agree with Claire about the toy food - it's a fab idea!

i continuously get told i have a posh accent. Someone even told me that I don't sound black on he phone...ummm what.

OMG! How can you sound black anyway?
I'm continuously told by clients at work (and people on here, lol) that I don't look how I sound. What do they expect, a 40 year old in a brown cardigan?!!

That is ridiculous, people are so stupid.

Lol Claire, it's even sillier that people say that on here, do you type how you sound?! Weird.

I'm the 'posh one' at work because I went to Uni, nevermind that most of them are capable of going and never got round to it, because I have a degree and don't have a strong Derbyshire accent (not from here) I get all kinds of rubbish!

It's all mad. As you said earlier Claire, people also think I'm stuck up or something because I'm too shy to speak to them. I wish people wouldn't assume that.

Oh and I love the sound of knitted food PS! I saw some soft toy fruit and veg with little faces on a site and was going to get them, but they turned out to be £6 each so I never bothered. Lol. Looked cute though .

I wish I sounded a bit more "posh" on the phone.... I sound like a 10yr old little girl and it's quite hard to be taken seriously sometimes
