Having our first experience with our son (2.5y/o) potentially being potentially ill other than just the usual colds/stomach bugs/chickenpox. His glands in his neck have been raised for nearly 6 months after going through all the usual nursery bugs and chickepox etc, our nursery questioned if...

As others have said... if you can afford it please find advice from a private nutritionist. Food log/diary with an understanding of reactions is going to be the only concrete way to understand the allergies.

33 here, never really drank to the point of blackout drunk regularly but over the course of the week would drink quite a bit. Heavier sessions would just lead to crippling hangovers to the point I would just be absolutely useless the day after. Since our first kid came along nearly 3 years ago I...

I recently replaced my tyres on my 530d from the star marked run flats to some PS5's and car is currently under AUC. It was in about a month later after some problems with the vibration dampener on the differential deciding to fall apart, had no issues with the claim.

Luckily the soft plays near us are relatively small and so the maximum amount of carnage is somewhat limited. We visited some friends a few months back and went to some huuge soft play thing on the outskirts of Manchester and I still have PTSD from it, the constant announcements over the Tannoy...

Any top tips for introducing formula bottles to a breastfed baby (currently 3 months). Baby number 2, we (I) was never patient enough to make it to bottle feeding with our first but I really want to give ourselves a bit more flexibility with baby number 2 so quite keen to try and get some feeds...

The manual says 15 minutes which is about right for the boiler to be up to temp but the group head doesn't get up to a suitable temperature until around 40 minutes or so. Nothing a wifi smart plug can't solve!

We're about 4 weeks into our new upgraded setup from a Sage Bambino Plus + Sage smart grinder to a Profitec Pro 700 + Niche Zero. I'm blown away by the difference in well just about everything (unsurprisingly!)... the consistency of the espresso we're getting is fantastic. Our espresso...

The circulon ones have been quite hit and miss for me, especially with their 'total food release system' or whatever the hell it's called where the cooking surface is effectively ribbed. On the plus side they have been extremely good with warranties, I've had 4 pans over the years where the...

Oh yeh for sure, I'm fully aware the meal cost increase is just being used to fill the gap in other places. There's no way a 2 year old is eating 15 quid's worth of food a day :p

Precisely, 15 free hours come in for April this year for kids 2 and over.. that's being extended to younger kids (1?) from September 2024. Was talking to our nursery manager yesterday as we're enrolling for the 15 free hours from April, it's the classic story of the government funding not...

2 hours is the typical quoted figure as per here but have seen some manufacturers going as low as 30 minutes just to really confuse things!

As others have said, hindsight is a wonderful thing! I think we dropped nearly a grand on a new 'travel system' but only put the car seat on the pram a handful of times. Get yourself on FB marketplace and get a used pram/buggy and buy a new car seat for baby

2 and a bit year old son has had raised glands on his neck for a number of months now. He's also been just generally quite ill due to whatever illness of the week has been going round nursery but the past month he's generally remained not ill which is great but still retained the raised glands...

I had one as a courtesy car a few months back, I think the huge loss of boot space due to the battery makes the proposition of a 'big boot estate' not such a reality. Admittedly we have a 5 series touring so the boot is vast but I couldn't event get a collapsed pram in the back without removing...

Ironically we have the polar opposite, my in-laws are on another level of attention giving to our son (2.5) to the point we don't feel comfortable leaving him with them. I understand grandparents wanting to play with their grandkids but it's just on another level, they both just 'play' with him...

Bonus time at the end of the month and so Profitec pro 600 and a Niche Zero will be ordered to move us away from our current Sage Barista express/grinder.. quite excited for the upgrade and the inevitably for having to reconfigure the kitchen to fit it all in! Only question I had was currently...

Nothing like driving 4 hours across the country and back again to make you despair a little bit :D. Majority of the route is just A1 which is typically not too awful but joining into the A14 near Cambridge/Peterborough where they have recently widened the road to 3/4 lanes is just insane, when I...

Quite the adventure with our 5 series at the back end of last year. Wife went into labour with our second kid, drove to the hospital and about 1 minute from the car park the car sounded like it was dragging along a bag of saucepans, no warning lights on the dash or anything. Made it to the car...

Well it's back from paternity leave for me today :( baby number 2 turned up in the middle of December. I can't believe how quick/simpler the delivery was and my wife feels totally 'redeemed' after the birth/recovery of our first was very difficult. It's quite amazing how easily number 2 has...
