    Thanks Em.
    I am definitely better at talking the talk than walking the walk though.
    Hales YEAY. Someone knows what Iam talking about!!
    I was so obsessed though that I wanted a shed for my 8th birthday to have a club house like FATTY. and I used to try and disguise myself like they did and then be so disappointed when I went outside and one of the neighbours would say hello Joanne.
    very sad.
    Jo x.

    lol :rotfl:
    I was quite obsessed myself - think ive still got my books in the loft - may have to go up and get them down for a bit of a read!!!!

    Magic faraway tree all time fav as a kid. Is it bad if I say that I still have them all (1960's hardback curtesy of my mum) including, the three golliwogs? One of the few things I have never parted with!

    Rachel - tell them to sod off! You have every right to be proud, its half the fun of being a parent.

    Jo - I am offering my services as a sounding board also, you are always ther to help all of us out, especially me, would be nice to return the favour!

    Off to empty the inbox and help myself to the chocolate cake, I can hear it calling me! There is something wicked abot pigging out when there is noone here to watch you! love it!

    DD stayed up late tonight so that DH could read her bedtime story.
    Its a bit of a treat we sometimes do when he has a late night. we've watched DVDs and read some books cuddled on the sofa. oh and I have sneakily been posting on here :-)
    However when DH walked in with a dairymilk for me and a kinder egg for her she wasn't happy. I knew she was really tired so said I would swap thinking it was a safe bet because although she loves chocolate she never eats much of it. How wrong was I she gave in with just one segment to go!!
    She's now in bed reading fairy stories with daddy and her tummy full of my chocolate!!!
    Good job I love her.
