thanks ladies! yes daddy is at home the now but i still feel its something/one at nursery. might make app with HV and speak to her for ideas on how to get her to go back to nursery?

Maybe you could sneak in early to pick her up and watch her? not sure what a nursery looks like tho?
did it happen at the same time each time? just wondering if it could be something a bit silly (to us) like it was fish pie for lunch or they were gonna play in water and she didn't want to get wet.

How do I insert a picture?? - My bump was that big that everyone thought I was having twins - and it wasn't a neat one either - I even blamed my bingo wings on the baby lol

I have a question for those of you with older babies - we're going to take Izzy swimming for the first time soon - I guess I need to get her water wings or a rubber ring or something, but I'm a bit clueless really - any tips?

I got Chris some huggies swim nappies, little swim shorts (there some really cute swim suits in sainsbury's at the mo) and a ring thing that had a seat in it like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FLOATIES-HYDRO-KIDS-BABY-SWIM-SEAT-RING-FLOAT-AID_W0QQitemZ380097175704QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Baby_Safety_Swimming_Aids_CV?hash=item380097175704&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1688%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

OH takes Tom swimming and just holds him but we are planning on getting one of those suits with the inbuilt floats and inbuilt sun protection for our hols as we're planning on going to a few waterparks.
DD had a fab lifejacket style thing when she was little but I've never seen one the same in this country. I don't care for armbands; DD's arms were so skinny she had to keep pushingthem up all the time, even the small ones and I have memories of havig them put on when I was little and it pulling all the skin on your arms - very painful!!

Hi Stokegirl .. you also missed naked David Tennant .. and probably a few other things too, but that's about where we are at the mo.

Oo..naked David Tennant.. the things I could do to him... ;)ahem

I've bought Ethan one of these to take him to Aqua tots in http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9000946/Trail/searchtext%3EZOGGS.htm

I'm sure you can get it cheaper else where but I work for Argos and still get to take advantage of my staff discount whilst off on Maternity Leave

And they've got somereally cute baby swimwear in Wilko's - I got Ethan a swim suit with built in factor 50 with a matching hat

Still can't figure out how to insert a picture directly onto here but you can see my before and after bump pictures here

Was it something I said???

I usually sit here talking to myself and taking up a whole page so I wouldn't worry!

would this be it? http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/detailfash.php?type=FASH&code=B2108&proddesc=Konfidence+Buoyancy+Jackets&supercategory=&branch=&wcategory=&catdesc=&treecode=TRE00009
jo jo have some fab swim and beach stuff but its a bit pricey as do blooming marvelous http://www.bloomingmarvellous.co.uk/SearchList.aspx?term=swim&language=en-GB&page=2

in the Asda baby event they have toweling ponchos for £3 dora, cars and peppa pig although they aren't as big as the one I got Chris from sainsbury's last year for £4, I think he'll be passing peppa one on to his lil bro before next summer where as the sains one will last a year or 2 more

Krystaltips

Aimee has a couple of poncho towels... She still loves hers... As long as they come down over her bum she can still use them lol... One is a princess I got reduced out of the catalogue, can't remember where the other one came from.... Could of been Matalan though...

We just discovered a new series of Golden Balls... I can't believe a 5yo would get so excited about it... Although she did mention it was making her miss Paul O'Grady.... Should I be worried yet?!

My_Fathers_Daughter

LOL krystal - DSS loves Paul O'Grady too...


I think my bump probably rivals yours stokegal LOL...makes the weight loss more dramatic I reckon!!
