    Just a flying visit today.

    Went to the park and had a really nice day. We took a picnic and all chilled out on the blankets and then went to nans in the afternoon. Went to put the kids in bed and realise Emily has left her massive bag of all her favourite stuffed toys at the park. Lee just raced out to get them and the lads at the skate park had found her teddy all battered and put him safe. Emily loves teddy and takes him everywhere, I felt so greatful. My Pikachu and all my teddies I had passed on to her from when I was little and the little Thumper I bought her last month from Disney as a present were all gone. I had a really good cry about it. People are just plain thieves.

    Anyway

    Jammy One of the companies I work for is Doodlebug and we have some really good deals on at QVC. Check the range out on there. There are some great packs that contain letters and papers and allsorts. HTH x

    Oh Mel so sorry about Em's toys that is soooo awful!! I used to do all sorts to rescue special toys that Molly dropped when we commuted to work in london. She dropped things on train tracks on underground tracks in the street etc etc and I managed to get them back (with help) most of the time!! Really hard when they went missing DS never had any cuddlies he was attached to for some reason so made it lots easier!! So sorry xxx

    I didn't know u worked for doodlebug!! Get you!! Mind you, you are a celebrity on the scrapbook/papercraft circuit!!!

    Awww shucks Ruth hahahah You crack me up :)

    About the teddies..ah dear.. I was actually so weepy last night. One of them was mine I had loved since I was little so I was heartbroken and the other was a Thumper I had bought her for being a good girl and getting out of nappies. Was really sad. *sob sob*

    Couldn't wait til sunday so did these last night:

    and if you can't be sure with one...

    I vomited this morning - so here it starts...

    I count myself very lucky, I used ovulation kits from the start mind to make sure I got it at the right time. If I've worked it out right I'm about 7 or 8 weeks and will be due in november. Just enough time to get settled into routine before christmas...so my shopping all absolutely has to be done before halloween and wrapped asap. AAAGGHHH christmas - I just got butterflies. There's a bit of nervousness in me cos mam did so much for me last time, she would come round every day and take Libby out in the pram so I could have a bath and get dressed,etc; but I guess I know what I'm doing this time (I had no clue last time), a little bit sad cos she won't be here but I think it will bring me and my dad even closer.

    Thanks to everyone for keeping your fingers crossed - you can uncross them now, they must be sore!!!

    I hated the midwife on the ward the night I went in, coz of my back being knackered, it was all arranged that I was to have an epidural, I was in agony this cow of a midwife, Id already had 1 run in with her, offered me parecatomal, as remember in no uncertain words I told her where to shove them as b4 pregnancy Id been on diazapam among others and that paracetomol was like smarties,......... she left me when she eventually came back I was 9cm dilated, far to late for epidural,,,,, I refused to have her as my delievery midwife, instead I got a really nice midwife, she was absolutelty fab, she even came to dd christening. x
