    Who? :o
    Are you handy? you could get some nice (expensive :undecided) oil cloth from Cath Kidston and make your own?

    emma bridgewater makes pottery - of which I have lots :o In fact, my name's r.mac and I'm an emma bridgewater-a-holic:rotfl:

    see here www.emmabridgewater.co.uk

    I think I may enlist my mum's sewing machine and get some oilcloth as you suggested - great idea sami :D

    MIL found them cheapest on ebay (BNIB) she only went for the m&p one because it was on sale :)

    weezle - I have found good prices at kiddicare.com - about £119 for the seat and baby set (so cushion and harness if you want them are extra). planning on a more extensive search tonight though :D

    just sold my birth pool and a new mobile phone on ebay. My first 'big' sales so definately going to try and sell more :D

    ooooo ladies question ... me and philip have £100 to spend on each for xmas usually its alot more but with paying extra this year its alot smaller i know what im getting philip but this year i told philip im giving him the money for me and he has to suprise me as every year all he does is take me shopping and i never have anything to open xmas day or if i do i know what it is :( the thing is he wants a little help and in the direction he should go in ... but i dont know what i want ... so ladies ideas?? x

    Him to look after the baby for a day while you go on a pamper session?
    A voucher for one of these
    Mind you, neither of those are things you can open.
    Um... £100 worth of chocolate? ;)
    An epilator/straighteners/some fancy perfume?
    A watch?
    A box set or two?
    Some ridiculous boots like the ones I linked too earlier? :rotfl:
    You could even send him off to spend £100 at Ann Summers, but not if you're opening your presents at the in-laws :eek:.

    I'm back!

    Typing 1-handed while little prince feeds.

    I had Alexander Harrison (Alex), 7lb 13oz at 17.40 on Monday by emergency c-section. Unfortunately I lost a lot of blood (3ltr, they worry about 1.5ltr:eek:) and had to go back into surgery under general. The blood was from the c-section cut so they sorted it quickly but I had 14hrs in recovery and came home yesterday after crying at the registrar!

    Will keep it short for now and try to post pics soon. No chance of catching up though!

    :T:T:T:T:T:T Congratulations :) That was about how much blood I lost, but they didn't tell me at the time, just kept saying "well you have lost a lot of blood" whenever I said I was tired or dizzy. It wasn't till I read my notes that I found out how much it was!

    Ladybird - you are such a kind and thoughtful lady I feel privileged to know you :A

    Eep, what did I do? Is this related to my new found agricultural hoby? :rolleyes:

    We had a fab time swimming and playing with the other babies today - having a 1 year old here really showed me how much more baby proofing will be needed! Izzy is now fast asleep on me - did say to DH that we could pick him up from the pub in a bit, but I think bath and bed will be order of the day well before he is ready!
