Soo the crazy midget is ill again...

Got called by the nursery, she's running a fever and got a nasty cough..

Got her home, getting her out of the car she decides to projectile vomit all over the outside of the car and me...

Thank God for Calpol.

Trying to be sympathetic to her but she just ran and heat butted me in the groin.

Hoping her immune system will be getting better soon
 
ah the joys, the wee man brought home a cold from his babies/toddlers group last week, and infected both me and the wife as well as himself. Me and him are on the tail end of it, though i was bad earlier in the week and the Mrs is suffering also. Fun Fun
 
Just out of interest what Tv shows do your kids watch or prefer.? Our oldest, is 4 in Jan and he went though the usual Peppa Pig, thomas the tank engine, fireman sam but now Hey Duggee seems to be the flavour of the month. Actually it's also the best thing on TV, funny well animated and the characters are brilliant. Anyone else watch this? I do find myself carry on watching it after kids in bed or gone to nursery etc. Fantastic show.
 
True. Also interesting to know it's made with flash and duggee plus a couple of other rare characters are the only ones to have gradient colouring the rest including objects and backgrounds are all flat colours. Oh and the crocodile (I think) is adopted.

I think the following after much debate with the missus:
Tag and norrie are "normal"
Rolly has ADHD
Happy, is adopted and is on the autism scale
Betty is the typical no it all

and duggee is just winging it and is not a registered child minder

Mr ******* Tumble.
"hello, hello, how are you?" and as soon as he hears it he is waving at the TV and glued to it.
Meanwhile, I am dawning my best poker face and acting cool as in my head I plot the 1759 different ways in which I would happily kill Mr ******* Tumble in front of all his Tumble alter ego's.

Peppa pig for my 2 year old. I suspect its more because she can say Peppa pig clear enough for the Sky Q remote to understand and switch to the Peppa pig channel (yes, she's figured out how to activate the voice commands)

Lol, my daughter (5 in jan), has mastered the art of swiping on either a tablet or phone to pause videos or change them, can even go from youtube to iplayer or netflix. We had a phase of peppa but thankfully she grew out of it, that intro tune is incredibly annoying.

Say I saved money over 21 years and then gave him that money, wouldn't it be taxed under inheritance? Or am I misunderstood?

You can give a monetary gift and so long as you survive for over 7 years post-gift, that sum isn't subject to inheritance tax.

Good luck, I was just helping my daughter put her shoes on and she full on sneezed in my face, I almost needed a towel to dry off. We've only asked her to use a tissue\hand a million times.
 
Won't let mine watch all this modern rubbish.
Trumpton, Postman pat, super ted, raggy dolls, banana man and so on are what he's watching. Bit older and he can watch rescue rangers, tailspin and such.

Talk to me about saving/investing for your baby.

I've skim read the abundance of advice online but it's a minefield. A while back I started a stocks and shares ISA in my name adding to it monthly and intend to gift it all to him when he is an adult looking for a house. However, anything over £3000 is subject to inheritance tax so I need to consider some other plan. The next thought is a Junior ISA, but after 18 years the money is all his and he can blow it on hookers and drugs if he wanted without anything we can do about that. I'm now looking at a regular saver account but they're rubbish because once you hit around £3k, they pay abysmal interest rates (so we'd probably have to end up with several different accounts for him as he grows up to avoid that).

What does anyone else here do? The inheritance tax is a real bummer. If I were to pop £50 cash into a money box for him until he was 21years and he popped to the bank to pay it in, would they turn around and tax him on that? He could just say he'd been saving his pocket money for years... :confused:

Set up a credit union account. Get you rchild benefit paid into it each month or when you get it, set up a standing order to pay that amount, into the credit union. Try and learn to live without the child benefit. It soon ads up and when they hit 16 it can be sitting at a good few thousand quid to help them if they want to go to university etc.

We get child benefit? I didn't think we'd be entitled to a penny!
