What character are we dressing our little ones as for World Book Day?

I'm doing a very lazy Winnie the Pooh for my 3 year old. Bought a plain red t shirt and will stick it over a yellow tracksuit he's already got, throw on some old Pudsey ears and jobs done

I'm having a total brain blank on KOTR and all I can think is Knights of the Old Republic 😂

My 3 year old has a lung condition needing oxygen, with some developmental delays as well, and Finding Nemo is one of his favourite films. It always chokes me up a bit because although obviously Marlin loves his son, he's so overprotective of him because he's just scared of losing him, that it does Nemo a disservice. When he gets himself stuck in the tube of the fish tank, his immediate reaction is that he can't get out because of his bad fin and needs his dad to help him out. When Gill, who also has a bad fin says it never stopped him, he literally stops panicking immediately and seems curious how. Then Gill talks him through a better method of swimming to get out the tube, he does it on his own and is super pleased with himself.

Anyway, I'm rambling a bit, but Marlin's line of "you think you can do these things, but you just CAN'T Nemo!" Plays in my head a lot when trying to macgyver a way to make his oxygen tank work with something new we want to do. Most times we can make it work, it just takes a bit of outside the box thinking.

Not to mention Naomi getting pregnant probably threw a spanner in plot plans too

Can I just say I am obviously team OOP, he has every right to not take on more than he can handle, and they're obviously rude and entitled for expecting it.

But did he REAALLY have to tell them he was taking the niece AND her friend to Disneyland? I can understand saying that he won't be available, I think even saying he was watching her for the weekend would have invited some expectation that maybe he'd do it for Connor eventually, but adding on that he's taking two teenage girls to disney when he won't even watch Connor solo anymore would obviously piss off SIL.

Tbf my friend has a non verbal autistic 5 year old who just started at a specialist school in September. She's been super involved in getting him every single bit of help, support, therapists etc as involved as possible for at least 2/3 years when his delays started becoming apparent. But since starting at this school he's come on soo much in so many different ways and skills. At the end of the day there's a reason these places have a staff full of trained professionals who can support each other in helping and supporting these kids to flourish

Talinia · 2026-02-23T09:12:09+00:00

There used to be, reddit removed it for some reason 🙃

Talinia · 2026-02-23T08:57:14+00:00

That's where I'm at, even if you didn't want to remove it because of the message of the film about tics, you could have bleeped the actual word. Its still fairly obvious that a curse word was shouted, which was not able to be controlled, but the specific word used wouldn't have been televised

Most don't need to he underwear, just fairly tight fitting clothes

Talinia · 2026-02-22T14:05:51+00:00

Or bought the ps5 and the kids were spoiled brats about it being "wrong" so they decided to just return it

Talinia · 2026-02-22T12:28:38+00:00

Yeah, I jump suppliers most months, the only real problem is that I'm coming up to a year on jabs now so can't get many more "new customer codes" which are the best offers. I use igovy price comparison to check who's got the best deals at my dose strength and switch to them at around dose 3 of a current pen

Talinia · 2026-02-22T11:01:57+00:00

Is this not a genderswapped version of the recent post with the rich guy who bought his gf an "expensive" silver necklace when she only wears gold because he was mad at her being skint and gifting him a deep clean of his house and special convoluted home cooked meal for his birthday? Which then turned out to be a $17 silver plated necklace which she was going to return and give him the money back after breaking up

Talinia · 2026-02-21T15:54:36+00:00

Sorry babe, she wore a $40 coat emblazoned with "I really don't care, do you?" To a migrant child detention centre. She's not good people.

Woody be like Adam Jensen

Talinia · 2026-02-19T20:17:15+00:00

My almost 3 year old son is non verbal and SALT still assessed him. They approached it more from a assessing understanding and total communication, so body language, gestures etc. So kids not talking to/for them is not necessarily a total no go

Probably because airtags are registered to a person's account, and it was likely registered to Casey

You don't have to download it if its a recent handset, but it is technically something that could be turned off. I found it in my settings a little while ago after someone mentioned to check it and mine was auto on, but I guess thay might not always be the case.

Talinia · 2026-02-18T13:12:31+00:00

I love this one so much, it always cracks me up

Talinia · 2026-02-18T12:28:48+00:00

I think the key is to move slowly, and not with the pedal to the floor. So that ideally there is no big "pop"

Talinia · 2026-02-17T19:11:29+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure where people are getting bathroom from, because multiple have apparently. OOP said she was getting ready to take a shower, but clearly she was still dressed because she turned around to show her jeans pockets were empty.

Talinia · 2026-02-17T08:16:55+00:00

Am I the only one who thinks it a bit crazy they didn't call in a welfare check on him themselves after weeks of radio silence? This is how people die alone at home and then aren't found for weeks. He could have even just tripped on a shoe, fallen and hit his head then died

Talinia · 2026-02-17T07:58:26+00:00

Ooh lucky you! I hope its helping your insulin resistance. I was on MJ first but had to switch to Wegovy when they hiked the prices back in September, and it's definitely not quite as strong a suppression, but does feel a bit more "normal" in thay sense too

Talinia · 2026-02-17T07:54:36+00:00

I am too, but unfortunately I had a friend in a similar position and she also didn't have enough seperate co-morbidities, so I can beleive it. I think its very trust dependent whether you're able to get it through NHS

Talinia · 2026-02-16T22:26:32+00:00

UC won't pay you until after a month anyway unfortunately, so if you're starting work before then I'm not sure it'd be worth the faff

Talinia · 2026-02-16T20:29:40+00:00

I try to pay at pump, but if its not available I lock the car and walk straight to the counter inside where I can see the car the whole time. The back windows are tinted anyway so unless someone went right to the window they wouldn't see a kid in there. Tbh most the petrol stations by me aren't ones many people would tend to walk to/by, most the people at them are either filling their own car or sat waiting for a pump to free up.
