lIts the hips which are the killer not fair,Ive done the child bearing the birth etc.If mother nature was a woman she was a bit of a cow I think she shud have rewarded us with a super body afterwards instead of been left with the legacy of mummy tummy and everything else lol

Hi my daughter used to suffer with this a lot also..Advice got was to give her extra water as well as her feeds to help soften the poo .They told me the green colour was due to the build up.It took a few days but it really did improve .When she got to 16 weeks I also used to give her a little freshly squeezed orange juice Midwife told me to do this and that definetly worked>Its all trial and error every kid is different Hope it gets sorted

Honestly I had my daughter with me and she had a child with her;I wasnt going to react to her because then she would have won!!!Imagine if she called the police or something!!! I have reacted or got involved in things before and came out worse I prefer to use words but unfortunately with my strong paddy accent I dont get understood ;)

ok i feel i need to clarify this.my op was to point out how rude and lazy this woman was...I have no prob with bag packers if they are there.....I know its their job etc.and part of their job description.I object to someone being so god damn lazy to put packed bags in their own trolley and then proceed to talk to people as if they are dirt!!!There is no excuse for it.It wasnt as if the guy was standing there having a cup of coffee or chatting he was doing something else which she rudely interrupted... I think the people who do the manual jobs here put up with a lot here and worse in their own countries but comeone they are working not claiming benefits as what goes on anywhere else.... Is great people tip I applaud it by all means but if u have have to do something yourself just do it get over it and enjoy your life!!!

Your poor husband corkshelly, did you meet him at the butcher shop and does he have your good sense of humour ? lol I have three small kids and I have days when I want to kill someone but thats what the hubbys are for not someone who is prob working for a pittance lol he was scared of the knives i had!!!!You have to have a sens of humour to get you through life its to short to be sour all the time

Jewels my last post about the labels were deleted by the mods prob because of the words I used lol I think about this privilege means if the guys are around they will do it but its not guaranteed that there will be someone to do it and as I said the checkout girl was after packing this was about her being to lazy to put them in the trolley

My, good you Corkshelly, you had the opportunity to tell the woman and the guts to as most would not. I feel sorry for the woman as very very evident she was having a really bad day, and could not control herself. Who knows what happened to her today , hopefully she has recovered and will see the error of her ways. Having said that depending on her nationality will also depend on her expectations and why she gave the comment she did to you. She may have been brought up with all the help all her life and does not know how western world works. She was eastern european which was why I was so surprised !!!!!!! Jewels I think the mods deleted them cos of the choice words I used lol I still laugh corkshelly when you wrote on the thread what you did with the mean labels, it was so funny but think you must have deleted your postings afterwards. i want to go back to re read and continue laughing. While at the checkout in Le Marche in AR today with my DD.I couldnt help overhear a heated voice at the next checkout to me.This woman who was paying was giving out to the cashier because there was no packer there to put her bags from the checkout into her trolley.In fairness the checkout girl was apolegetic saying there was no one around cos he was outside getting trollies...this woman got in a madness saying how could she be expected o put her bags ina trolley because she had a toddler with her who was sitting ina trolley:\: Then the poor guy comes in wheeling trolleys and she marches over to him to tell him put the bags in which he does and this point my jaw is dropping.then she gives him grief about the way he puts the bags in... then she goes to the supervisor to complain he comes over to the checkout to give the staff grief I was now in front of ELC to see what was going to happen and the woman spots me and says ask her how rude the staff were so of course I told the woman she was probably on on the most rudest ignorant people I have ever seen so I said this to the supervisor!!! Then she followed me out and said is because of people like you Dubai is turning the way it is :\:.It took me all I could not too smack her one.. Im still gobsmacked

Absolutely ridiculous! If her child was already sat in the trolly, I'd have asked if she had some sort of disability that prevented her from using her owns hands and arms to put her own bags in! Shame she had the power of speech really. SydGal, NO! If there's no packer available, do it your flippin' self! I hate people like that, they wind me up sooooo much! hear hear!!!!!!
