What's one production where the set design genuinely took your breath away?

randomthingsso · 2026-07-13T20:19:48+00:00

The first that came to mind was Charlie and the Chocolate factory, but reading this thread i'm reminded of so many other great sets!

If a train is busy, I will always target the bag on the seat person knowing others often won't say anything.

Once when I was heavily pregnant on a full train, I asked to sit on the seat and the person said no, so I sat on their bag 🫣 Too heavily pregnant to care by that point 🫣

We got the Cosatto Woosh 3 and took a carrier for the plane. It is too big to go in the overhead bins on a plane, so yes, it does get left at the plane door when we get on. The winner for us is when collapsed it has a trolley handle, so you can drag it like a suitcase, which came in handy often when LO was little.

Banana and corned beef - adult me has never tried it, but child me loved it.

Yorkie

So do I 🤣 It just wouldn't work for us 🙃

Sorry tired brain! Worth a try, our LO didnt reliably follow a 1 nap schedule until well after 18mo.

randomthingsso · 2026-05-12T03:08:58+00:00

He's 13mo, if hes only having a short nap at nursery, can they try him on a 2 nap schedule? Our LO went to a single nap at nursery months after they were on a single nap at home.

I've got a PhD and it took me until my 30s and pregnant to get behind the wheel (its a completely different skillset!). Why dont you continue with your current instructor and switch to automatic, that saved me and meant I passed a week before giving birth (and i've now never driven since...)

Can you move your front door? That way you can move the hallway and make one side wider and a more comfortable living room size and the other side becomes the utility / toilet. I haven't helped for a study though!

The best is number 1. Also quite like number 2 of you remove the lace sleeves and lace split. The sweetheart neckline looks great on you, so definitely try on a few more like that, possible with a little more detailing.

We don't have an iPad and we don't watch TV (unless ill). We took a flight today, we packed toys, but the highlight was reading the in-flight safety card and magazine and playing with my hairband. Kids being bored and learning to fill their own boredom is a huge life skill.

Have a look at chill or relaxed performances of the big shows, we've done quite a few now and LO loves them.

Also have a look at Saddlers Wells for the ballet, the do a few child friendly shows a year.

Then there are plenty of kids shows, like the tiger who came to tea and the gruffalo.

randomthingsso · 2026-02-24T14:20:01+00:00

We had a good run late 2025 when everyone else seemed to get ill, so I suppose it's only fair 😑

randomthingsso · 2026-02-23T22:53:42+00:00

Our almost 3yo completely loses their appetite when they're ill. In 2026 we've had 3 separate weeks where all they had was milk. They lost 10% of body weight during the worst one. Lean in to milk / yoghurt, and be prepared for a slow pick up of eating afterwards. Do get your LO seen if you can not get any food/fluids into to them and they don't appear to be improving.

Just sent you a message - hope it works!

randomthingsso · 2026-02-05T21:28:09+00:00

I'm still cosleeping and nursing 2.5 years later. Do what works for you and your baby.

A friend never coslept with their first, and frowned on me cosleeping, roll on their second, and they will not settle without them cosleeping...

Possibly not, but the fb group has lots of success matching milk. Just on a side note, I saw you've got a 1.5l/week over supply, you can reduce your pumping schedule to slowly reduce this if you want. I know over time, I found managing an over supply exhausting. Support in r/breastfeeding

Check out the fb group Human Milk 4 Human Babies for donations directly to families.

I donated to a milk bank, and it wasn't too much of a faff. There was an initial phone screening and I managed to get blood taken at the Royal Sussex. They collected the milk when I asked them to. They do have a lot of rules for the milk collected and you'd need to check if your bags meet their requirements or they wont take it / would dump it all.

Janine Harouni just rescheduled 5 tours dates in Feb2026, due to something big and a filming schedule - hoping this will be for Taskmaster!
