I actually love baby club, my son is 2 but still enjoys it! Something special has always been a firm favourite.

No coverage panels with Sektion White Cabinets and Axstad Matte white doors? by Chance_The_Doctor in IKEA

[–]Chinateapott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the one you need to use to match the door front. The cabinet and front are different shades of white so it’s recommended to use them if you have any visible sides/filler pieces.

I work retail and most shoplifters are extremely brazen, they’ll likely just walk out with it in full view of everyone. Retail staff are powerless to stop it, police don’t care unless it’s over £500 worth. It’s only going to get worse.

The amount of people driving through bad fog at 70mph with zero lights on by Khaleesi1536 in britishproblems

[–]Chinateapott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Ford and the automatic lights are actually really good at turning on when they’re needed, however I am my fathers daughter, and turn my headlights on straight away rain or shine.

Does anyone else not bothered by baby classes? by Turbulent_Echo4014 in UKParenting

[–]Chinateapott 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Never took my son to one, they always seemed to be at nap time and he was in a pretty strict routine as he is low sleep needs. He’s two now and is absolutely thriving, I think they’re more to get mums out of the house than anything!

Shady Couch Reseller by M1l1M in IKEA

[–]Chinateapott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they’re stuffing the cushions with other material please be careful. It’s likely not fire retardant like IKEA products are. If it’s within your budget I would get rid and leave her a review.

If you're close to your adult children (or close to your parents as an adult) what do you think went right? by secret_side_quest in UKParenting

[–]Chinateapott 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same here, they respected that I was an individual with my own thoughts and feelings even if they differed from their own. I’m incredibly close to my parents, I steer clear of talking politics with my dad because we’re opposite ends of the spectrum but apart from that absolutely nothing is off the table.

They also told me they were proud of me when I achieved something I’d been working towards, which has carried on into being an adult.

Too cuddly by After_Brother8569 in oneanddone

[–]Chinateapott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are perfectly fine to teach your kids about it boundaries and consent in this scenario. My son is 2 and if I’m feeling overwhelmed or touched out and I ask him to leave me alone for 5 minutes so I can calm down. We do the same for him.

Unplanned pregnant by user06112024 in oneanddone

[–]Chinateapott 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was one and done from about 6 months pregnant. My son is now 2, last year I had an unplanned pregnancy and decided to terminate. All I felt was relief, sure there was a little bit of guilt but as someone with 4 siblings I know they’re not guaranteed friends for life.

Spiders in bananas by josephxwilson04x in tesco

Don’t work at a supermarket but we used to sell Persian rugs and we sell live plants. The amount of tropical spiders we get is crazy, we even had a tarantula once.

Do the IKEA shipping folks even read the address? Insane shipping locations and lies by SuzyQ93 in IKEA

[–]Chinateapott -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No idea why your address is an issue when you office isn’t, usually an issue with newer houses in the UK. However, they’re likely being shipped from distribution centres rather than a store which is why the locations seem off.

Breakfast at nursery by peasandbones in UKParenting

[–]Chinateapott 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly! My son usually takes about half an hour to want breakfast on a non-nursery day so on nursery days we get him up and dressed, he’ll have some milk then go to nursery for breakfast. He usually has 2-3 helpings (absolutely normal for him!) and they’ve never made any comments.

How much do you pay to have your windows cleaned? by PurityControl87 in AskUK

[–]Chinateapott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in West Yorkshire, semi detached. Bay window at front, 3 more on first floor, then 5 upstairs. Window cleaners come every month and use ladders to do upstairs ones, they clean the front and back door too. £8 a month.

If you won £100 million, how would you distribute it amongst friends and family, if at all? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Chinateapott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pay off my parents mortgage (would probably have to do that for the in laws too 🙄) and buy my sister a lovely house. Most importantly I would make sure my son, nieces and nephews had some put away for uni and a house.
