    pigpen...I would say yes but my 19mth old is just getting into 12-18mth stuff! So I'm sure someone with a bigger small one would be able to make use quicker.

    Just been to NCT sale and spent lots of money, well about £13 but came home with 4 bionicle lego things for DS, a walkie talkie thing still in packet and a coat, a fleece, 10 tops (two the same as I forgot I'd bought one) and 9 pairs of trousers for DD2! So she'd better not shoot up in size :D

    Hope everyone is well!

    Triker, you know who to avoid if you walk past him in the street that's for sure! I think one of them lives very close to where DPs family in Beverley live....speaking of which I need to sort out their little ones presents to send as I don't think we'll get down there before Xmas. This one should be funny as he's not a very confident cook......his dessert is a little 'floppy' lol
    Froddy no probs, well done on your presents starting, I thought I was the last one :o

    Well speaking to DP when I said I would get the kids to help me move boxes tomorrow he said he will do it tonight, we'll see, they have been there all day and he's ignored them knowing I did ask him last night to do it.

    Must be something in the air in here as even the dogs are bickering! DPs Dad asked me to let them know what presents they want and to phone tonight, big suprise, no answer! So I battled with the kids for nothing if he doesn't phone back tonight, could have done it tomorrow. It's really hard with kids with their issues to get a good xmas list for others to buy and I don't think he realises that.

    I am now anxious because I know I uploaded the xmas list onto the external hd for back up but don't think I updated it, so going to have to go through it and recent orders. Then see what I need to buy. I must have known they were going to go off as I think I uploaded all the photos aswell.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Valli I use disprin extra. I've found they're the nicest soluble tablets, they're quite small and not chokey like others can be.

    Johanne Ahh bless her! :) DS got both his bottom teeth through at 17 weeks. He stopped BFing himself the week before they came through so I didn't have to worry about being bitten :p but I was gutted to not be BFing - I loved it! He had 8 or 9 teeth by the time he was 1. :D

    Congratulations to pumpkin on her first tooth!

    Johanne - I bf DD until she was 1 and DS until he was 3 so they both had teeth and I didn't have a problem - keep doing it until you're ready to give up.
