Please I need a good RX350 mechanic in Abuja. I changed the colour of my car and in coupling it, the guys did not do a good job with the booth due to the sensor.

The booth can be opened with the remote but has to be manually shut. Please help, someone, anyone.

Thanks

maran1983 I hope you are ok? I hope you sleep better tonight.

Thank you for reading it and thank you for your heart felt comment.

Yes that poor baby's suffering is very graphic, I could not write that at night as the image of the boy haunted me too.

But such things happen in society unfortunately.

Thank you.

Yes, I slept better; thanks for asking.

It is indeed very sad that these atrocities keep going on, unchecked. May God help us all and keep our kids safe and on the straight and narrow path.

Keep writing Leigh. Lots of respect.

Leigh, I have never been one to comment on stories I read here (wonder why).

Anyway, I have been reading and following all your stories.

Yesterday, I read your last update, just before bed. Your narrative on the child's decapitation was so very vivid. I did not think much of it, said my prayers and went to bed.

For the first time in forever, I had a nightmare. I relieved all of that poor baby's suffering. Funny enough, I kept telling myself to wake up, that it was a dream.

When my husband eventually woke me up, as I was thrashing about so much, I quickly rushed to check up on my kids.

The essence of my essay, is to say, well done. Thank you for being an awesome writer and making my day.

More ink to your pen.

My baby would be three months in January and I'm also to resume back to work. Right now, hubby and I have the option of getting a nanny(live in\or daily) and a creche. I found one close to where I live. My questions are;

1. Which one is better, a nanny a creche?

2. Is my baby too young like some people say?

3. What should I look out for as I would be going back there next week to assess them.


Cc: feddy, iomoge, liftedhands, alphahandmaiden, onegai, helovesme, danzak, tojued etc

I know how you feel because I have also been there.

What I did, was to get a nanny and still register my baby in a crèche close to the office.

So, the baby and nanny would be dropped off at crèche in the morning and picked up after work.

The crèche had strict instructions to never allow the nanny take the baby out of their premises. However, she was free to go out and get anything she or the baby needed.

Although this was an expensive option, it helped put my mind at ease that my baby was well taken care of plus I knew baby was safe too. I was actually scared of leaving my child alone with a nanny at home.

Again, having a nanny at home with me eased the stress of having to cook, go to the market or do anything with a baby in tow.

Hope this helps.

I have three kids, so I am hardly ever alone. I miss my me time.

I miss having the television to myself. Although they have a tv set in their room, they follow me everywhere and are always watching what I watch, which means I only watch ABCs or cartoons.

I miss going out with a sexy, sleek purse. I am constantly with a bulging baby bag.

I miss my Friday night hang outs plus the ability to just get up and go.

Coldfeet:
Very long but worthy read. Mothers who plan to do ebf should express their milk constantly to be sure the breast is making enough milk.

That a baby is always sucking doesn't mean he is getting milk! and we shouldn't allow people's opinion get to us just because we chose to offer formula.

A living and healthy baby is all that matters.

I could have so very easily have been the writer of the article as the same thing happened to me.

I had my baby and was not lactating, by day 2, baby had developed jaundice. I did not lactate until day 3.

The nurses kept insisting I put baby to boobs, that my milk was very essential for his first suck.

I am glad that phase is over.

Thanks for the link! I have read a similar study sometimes ago though can't exactly remember where.....
The doctor that took Ekene's delivery blamed me why I didn't supplement his feeding that first 5days I was not producing milk......all because I was bent on exclusive breastfeeding. ...
I hope I didn'tcause my son any irreparable damage tho. ..

I am super thankful to God, I could have so very easily been the writer of that article.

I did not lactate till the 3rd day and by day 2, baby was jaundiced.

I feel bad each time I remember how I stressed that child over nothing.

I am sure your baby will be fine.

Hello everyone. So, this recession has got me thinking about how to make extra money.

I looked around me and decided I can trade in stockfish and crayfish.

I'd like to know if anyone here is presently in that line of business.

What do I need to know about the business?
Will storage be a problem? Do I need a special kind of storage system?
Most importantly, where can I get the best prices?

Thank you. I look forward to reading from people knowledgeable about the business.

Onegai, thank you for starting up this very educating and interesting topic.

My kids all have accounts in my bank, but with what I have read here, I think I'll pull all their funds out of the bank and save with ARM pensions since they are already my PFAs.

I was only last week introduced to Bonds but now I'm reading T bills are better.

I will definitely be talking to an investment broker after the holiday.

Thanks to contem, helovesme and co.

Onegai, concerning the other issue, I blocked him like I said I would. Counted my losses and moved on. My sister just sent me some books, so all is well.

First of all sorry
Secondly I am EXTREMELY busy And told u
thirdly I must have made a mistake on the shipment
Fourthly you said I should choose at my discretion
.....
For 4700 you want some singing books, pop ups and character books for all 3 kids


Lol... you are angry And have every right to be, but right now seven mama's. Are thanking me fully for their books...


Sorry again...

But for 4700 you want 2singing books
Two pop up books
two character. Books with over 50 pages
and extra 1 8 story books to make the 14 LOL

Sorry forgive. Me
My motto remain trust And communication
TELL ME PRECIESILY WHAT YOU WANT AND NOT COMPARE YOURS WITH OTHER MAMAS CUZ TGEY LOOK PLEASE



BETTERplease , he sent me pictures of those books and said they cost between 800 to 1000 Naira, I said it was not a problem, I would pay. When we were done with our transaction, I asked that he please send me pictures of the books before sending so that I would know what exactly I was getting, he promised to do that. However, the next day, when we spoke, he said he had forgotten to snap the books and that he was in a hurry to get the books to Lagos to be sent down to Abuja. In trust, I sent him his full money.
Imagine my shock when I got my stash of books and there were no character, singing or pop up books! I was upset and immediately reached out to Kidco, I told him I was not happy with the books I got because they were not what I had specifically requested and paid for. After a while, he responded, saying that he was busy and we would talk later. 3 hours later, he was yet to get back to me; again, I reached out to him to ask how I could get either a refund or replacements for the books. He said he would refund by the next week and tell me how to return his books.
I did not hear anything from him after that, so yesterday, I sent him a message to remind him that I was yet to hear from him. He read my chat and did not respond. I asked him why he was not responding, he replied that it would have been easier if I was in Lagos (well, I am not! Can’t help it).
I told him I was upset that he charged me for books he did not have and went ahead to send me something else. He asked if I was sure I was given the right books. I reminded him my books were clearly marked out and he had sent me a list of the books I was to receive. Since yesterday till now, Kidco has refused to respond to my messages. He gets them, reads them but does not reply them.
Like I stated earlier, the only reason why I brought this here is for others to be aware and be careful.
Going forward, I will suggest that for mothers that have not made their payments to Kidco to hold off on doing so. They may pay the money to the contact/pick up person, after they have received their books and are satisfied with their purchase, then she can send his money to him. Anybody with a better option can also suggest.

Onegai (I’m tagging you so that you can bring a good suggestion for other mums on how to get books going forward)
Kidco (I’m done talking to you about this. Kindly do not message or call me, I will be blocking your number shortly)
Smokeydrinkey (I know you will almost finish me if I do not give you a heads up)
Tojued (You are a witness about how my books were packed differently)


It may seem funny to you because it is not your money that has gone down the drain. You are very busy, but you were not too busy to respond to this as soon as you saw it, which you have refused to do constantly on whatsapp.

Did you or did you not send me pictures of singing and character books that you were going to send to me? Am I the one that costed the books? Did I at any time tell you how much I was willing to spend on the purchase of the books? If no, why are you now saying 14 books for 4600?

You told me the price for each of those special books, and I said no problem, do the costing and tell me the price.

I am getting angry all over again, which is not how I want my morning to go. My joy is that you did not say I lied in anything I wrote previously.

Good bye, have a great life.

I have battled with myself for almost a week, asking if I should share this with mothers here (and maybe spoil his business) or be quiet about this incident. At the end of the day, I decided it was best I share my experience and allow everyone decide what they want to do with the information shared. That way I would have satisfied my conscience.
I was one of those that signified interest in the books Kidco is selling. When I saw that some mamas in Rofemigwa’s group talked about the books being out of their kids’ age range, I decided to address that issue by ordering for my kids separate from the Abuja groups’, this I did because my kids ages range from 6-2, as such they have different reading needs.
I contacted Kidco, told him specifically what I wanted and the age range I wanted the books to span across. First of all, I never knew the books were not brand new or had been gently used. It was until I got them that I knew, anyway that was not a problem as only one had a page missing.
So, when I spoke with Kidco on whatsapp (anyone that wants my chat history with him can request for it, I will mail them to you), I told him I wanted some singing books, pop ups and character books for all 3 kids, he sent me pictures of those books and said they cost between 800 to 1000 Naira, I said it was not a problem, I would pay. When we were done with our transaction, I asked that he please send me pictures of the books before sending so that I would know what exactly I was getting, he promised to do that.

I resumed kpekusing 3 weeks pp. I think what helped was that himself learnt to help around the house and hold baby D, it made me more welcoming, plus my libido generally is sky high.

Concerning contraceptives, I had a hormonal implant put in at 6 weeks. What I noticed about the implant was that I added a bit of weight which I could not shake off, no matter what I did.

The thing is, my kids ages range from 6-2, so I'd like to have books that span across their age range. How can we achieve that? Is it better I order books specifically for my kids,away from the group buy?
