    I thought I'd have a look at the scuttlebug, and then thought I know I search on swagbucks :D The 5th entry down is the urban dictionary definition :eek::rotfl:

    Maybe I'll just search on the argos site :A
    I looked too :cool: WHY would anyone want to do that?:rotfl:

    Morning all

    Sorry to hear many of you had rough nights. We actually had a really good night :) Theo had half a feed at 10pm, clean nappy and some daddy time. Then he had the other half of feed and slept until 4.30am :) he went straight back to sleep and woke 9.30am.

    He and OH are still in bed! (well T in his basket) it's nearly 1pm!

    I love the idea of secret Santa, although the last one I did at work I was bought a pack of tissues and candy cane... LOL. Kinda strange!

    Why does it rain everyday, I have washing to dry and a baby who wants to be pushed in his pram LOL

    CAFC, brilliant you've volunteered! Might be good to post again in a week or so to remind people who aren't on at the moment. Also, set a deadline for registration and then post regular reminders. Then we can get to shopping! £10 sounds good as low amounts keep it more inclusive :). And I find homemade gifts to be brilliant so if people feel they can't afford £10 they can always send along something lovingly made!

    Mel, glad to see you posted even if you're feeling a bit low.

    Still trying to decide if to buy Argos toys in the 3-for-2 and if so, what. Part of me thinks I could most of those things gently used from eBay or charity shops so wondering if it's worth it. :o

    Please send good vibes my way - I found a good job that actually 95% matches something I've done in the past and the recruiter phoned to say she would be passing on my CV to the company, so praying I get an interview.

    I might be tempted, what sort of area are we looking?

    Ooo - I wasn't actually talking to you Becky :o I was talking to Bekki who lurks here and occasionally posts. She lives in Stoke, which is where the Monkey Forest is.

    You would be more than welcome to join us at Monkey Forest if you are anywhere near Stoke though - although you might find your babba is much accosted by some of the broody mummies!!!



    Edit - CAFC - tell me again what I need to do!

    I've got him a ELC garage which I paid £5 postage for so I'm keeping it :rotfl:
    I've reserved mini work bench, car transporter and megablocks. From ELC I got him a work bench and car transporter, and the argos versions look like they "do" more for cheaper!

    I also got him from elsewhere a Vtech BabyTime Centre which I think he will love, but after I got it I realised its quite hard to get the game cartridges cos they are all made for the VSmile which is for older ones :(
