    Sarah I hope you and your DD are both getting over such a horrid day, hugs for you both.

    Had enough of kids for one day. The next one to come down the stairs is really going to be in trouble

    My lo never comes down the stairs he sits at the top and whinges but knows not to come down.
    He usually wakes up to go for a wee then gets back in. If i am in bed he comes for a cuddle then goes back in his own bed (usually)

    Still probably what I needed since I went to bed worrying about Jo, slept badly and woke up feeling lousy. Oh I am so glad I didn't join the list I might have committed the crime of sending someone a 'not xmas' card or a present.

    What I don't understand is that people have requested the Christmas Card list before on here and it's been sent to them. In fact that's probably how Jo knew about it as she wasn't here at Christmas. Neither was I but I've seen posts about it since then.
    And, people are always saying: "send me your details by PM" which apparently breaks the rules too.
    So why has nobody mentioned this on any of those occasions?

    I'm not trying to continue the arguement, am just very confused and feel the whole thing is a bit unfair on Jo
