    Edit: bizziebaby have some holiday stollers to test MacSmiler - she says that things get sent out in rotation - keeping my fingers crossed that you get one ;)
    That's why they e-mailed to ask if I am going abroad in the next four weeks.

    You know the bit on Me too where they run out of time and have to do things really quickly before the song finishes? Well that is me today. I've got distracted with so many other jobs that need doing (and the internet ;) ) and now I'm rushing around trying to do the 2 jobs I really needed to do at the last minute! Kitchen floor is clean now, lr floor is clear (mostly.. will have to shift some stuff as I go, but it has to stay in here for now) just need to hoover it before I leave in 20 mins. Pleanty of time! Feel free to sing the song while I go ;)

    Edit - the answer was not quite... I'm going to be late now... and will need to put everything back in the right place when I get home. Must zoom!!!

    Grr, just discovered my Bizzie baby profile is wrong. It lets me put that I am breastfeeding but then changes it say I'm not.

    :eek: I am shocked and appalled :p whats wrong with just sticking the toothbrush in a foodbag or wrapping a bit of tissue round it?
    I'm 90% sure they have them in Asda with the other holiday gadgets like money belts and European plug adapters.
    I got a nice cheap wash bag in H&M a while back :)

    oooh sami, I like the feeling of getting told off for NOT being frugal :) normally I get:rolleyes: that expression for being 'so tight you'd eat the bum off a low-flying duck!' :D
    I didn't even know there was a George pig :confused::o


    It just has the normal thin spindles which are about an inch thick and curved so not great for attaching anything to...

    I might get one of those big, moveable barrier things then I can just move it about as and when...either that or a leg chain so I can tie him to the bed :D


    what about the kind with screw out bolts at either top edge so they kinda squeeze the wall and the little spindle? I'll hunt for a photo now....

    the moveable barrier sounds ok at first, but I'd fear for your poor back lugging it around as a long term solution :)


    elle, I was reflecting earlier about all your appointments and I just wanted to encourage you to bear all of those in mind when you fill in the dreaded DLA forms (if you're still thinking of that!) it can be easy to forget all those many extra things that you and craig do for rhys, but you should be remunerated for it :) You probably know that already tho!

    hope the sling affair was good, and that you all had your best ones and sami's mse dylon version was much praised :)


    becles I forgot to say I'm dining out on your charlotte stories, I told the one about the mince and 2 pals cried :):rotfl:


    Hello to everyone else :)

    I had that too, I emailed them and she said their bit of my profile is right and she didn't know why it was doing that!

    is anyone pals with skinty in real life? I wish one of us could drop off a cherry teat dummy, it's so annoying she has to wait 10 days, when it could really help!

    hey elle again! you know my business idea that'd already been done, with the pram hire?

    what about 'packforyourbaby.com'

    they click gender age and weight of baby, and we send a weeks worth of clothes, muslins, nappies, cuddly toys.....

    some bleary-eyed mummy would pay good money for that, surely? :)



    love mad del-boy weezl x

    Woohoo, they have received it - thank goodness for that :D Right, just sit back and wait for a letter now. Got to get the DLA sorted now then I can start the fun fun fun of phoning TC to tell them of changes of income! :o

    Thanks AM for that number! :D

    BTW, when they say "three months", apparently they mean 93 days :)

    Weezl, are you well? Fergie well? Any projects on the go at the min? :)

    Getting DLA ups your tax credits :D:D:D Fingers crossed you get middle rate care atleast to get carers allowance too.

    Sami, DS2's eyes started to change at a year and they are still changing. He has brown on the outer iris and blue on the inner iris. Was wondering about this myself, Amber has the dark blue eyes that may or may not go brown.

    And Amber slept from midnight till 7am (when I woke her) again last night. We had our first trip into town today to get nursing bras, and they still don't fit.

    Mine too! :mad:

    Its was lovely to see Sami & Fritha and children again today, and to meet the lovely Sparkle and Glamazon. (Thanks for organising it Fritha and well done on your first meet). :D

    I was thinking earlier - where SeptemberBaby? I've not seen her post in a while. Was she due a holiday? :confused:

    Don't get to used to it Tia, Caitlyn did a few 7hour stretches, then went back to waking 4 hourly... Although 2 nights in a row I've dream fed her at midnight and she's gone a bit longer, 5:30 this morning and 6:45 yesterday!

    I bought a new sofa yesterday from Argos Bargain Clearance... They told me it would be delivered after 2... It's not here yet... I keep jumping at every car noise...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
