    She is very easy going and doesnt seem to mind too much:D Maybe when she's older and a bit more conscious of her body she might mind:confused:

    Hello all, haven't had time to read the thread but hugs to all that need them and :beer: to everyone else!

    Well, I have nearly got upstairs all packed, another hour should see it finished then there is just the shed and the kitchen :eek: to do tomorrow. Been to the skip so many times today even though I have been maniacally decluttering for months. Mind you, one of the trips was just with bottles from the party at the weekend :o

    Will be thinking of you all and looking forward to flying in our new home after Wednesday :rotfl:

    At all? Do they have a growth hormone deficiency?

    They do.. DS2 has been on growth hormone replacement for 4 years so is average height but DD4 is nearly 6 and JUST wearing age 3 clothes.. same size as Tiddles who is nearly 4.. there is about an inch in height difference between them and Tiddles is 2lb heavier!

    valli - I hope the police deal with the situation. It really makes my blood boil that decent kids like your DS and his friends are intimidated and the little s**ts get away scot free:mad: :mad: :mad:

    Thank you for assuming my DS is a decent kid, Jackielesley I do my best!:T
