  • Tulip, at least your christmas tree is out! Mines still in the loft and I am too small to reach the ladder.

    My DH has promised to get it out tomorrow so fingers crossed!

    Tulip, you really do have to learn how to improvise .:xmassmile Leave off the bottom layer of branches so you have a good pole to shove in a bucket of earth or wet sand then it shouldnt tip. If it still does, shove a couple of bricks or stones inti the soil up against the pole. Hugs and Just have a very happy Christmas. see what I say these are my old ones. and such lovely kids memories.

  • Anyone want a 2 year old refusing to sleep? She's been ill on & off for about 3 weeks & is now an absolute BEGGAR at nights & won't sleep much unless we allow her to drop to sleep down here.

    Ordered both girls new dressing gowns on eBay seeing as the person who was going to buy them has bought PJ's & tops instead (which I did say more than once I have already bought!) just need tights for both girls still & odd bits for LO (Am looking for either a doctors or nurses dress up outfit age 2-3 - anyone any ideas???? The ones in Home Bargains are 3-5 years & are MASSIVE against her :( & can't find any smaller ones anywhere) Need to get the odd item for my Uncle & some biscuits/chocs for family then think that's it - oh and anymore items I win as well lol lol lol

    Want to start wrapping them but whilst LO awake I can't do it, ideas peeps????
