That second one looks like the removable chair part of my swing... Caitlyn doesn't seem to mind it's blue and green...

And they have gaming chairs in the Argos bargain clearance shop for £70... I told hubby he could get one for his bachelor pad...

Thanks to all who answered my question re. baby names! And Susan, i love your 'whittling down" of the names i might do this, but it seems like so much hard work for me haha. I think i'd grade them all as a 3 and that would be game over :rotfl:

Now thats weird because I have Tesco ones for Henry that were on sale at the time which he uses alot of the time ie to go to sleep with etc and I find them ok... they wash really well..

My problem was I found them too thin and not very absorbent so any dribbles from Ed's mouth/my boobs went straight through them even when folded over a couple of times

I've got Tesco ones that I bought when they were on offer. £7 for 2 packs I think. The worst thing I've found is how out of shape they've gone. It's impossible to fold them into neat squares! Apart from that, they haven't gone bobbly or anything like that. They seem to do the job OK as long as I fold them over a couple of times. I hadn't really thought about the absorbancy until Sami mentioned it, as I haven't had anything else to compare them to.

Well I just put a bid on the link a doos one on ebay (upto £15, local pick up, pushing the boat out for me!)

Better list the M&P one and sell it if I win the blue one.. spose I could say it was for DS2... maybe not...

Off to make dinner while the princess sleeps. :rolleyes: She got a bottle of formula earlier after she fed for an hour on and off then decided to scream so much that she did a huge vomit all over the floor (I moved my leg real quick), so she is pretty settled, will wake her once the dinner is cooking.

Oh and the educational psychologist came out. No real chance of funding for the nursery he is at due to the cut backs, but she is looking into getting him a place at one of the surestart nurseroes that he could go full time too. And she is going to organise a meeting with his specialists (SALT, OT etc). There is talk, well, more of an idea that he may go to a specialist speach and language school (well, classroom) next year (first year at primary school). It has teachers specially trained in speach and language as well as SALT's on site who work with the children as they do the regular curiculum. Although it is going along the 'special needs school' route, it would be better for him long term. Nothing concrete yet, just ideas forming about his furture. I'll let you know how I feel about it later on. He will get a taxi to and from school too.

Krystal, I bought DH one, well gave him the cash to buy one from his mate. I hate the thing. Wires everywhere, I go for a pee and can feel the bass (or is it base?) through the seat and we have nowhere to store it so it sits on the stairs folded up. Plus it's another thing to hoover...

talking of my hoover, I broke it yesterday, fixed it today and brone it again... twice. Broke the tube bit (it's a henry style) then broke the plastic bit that attatches the pole to it. So it's sodding useless.

I also dropped my car keys in a huge puddle yesterday and spent 5mins fishing about to get them, then had to wash my hands all day, I could feel the germs!

Yes but the previous version... £25 from eBay! (Although I may have slightly dyed the pale green back part to a slightly darker khaki colour...)

I found a website with all names on it and just sat and read them out to hubby, if he liked it and I liked it we wrote it on a spreadsheet... We literally both only agreed on 1 girls name and had it picked out from about 12 weeks pregnant... The boys name we had a few different ones we liked and kept changing our minds until I was 4 days overdue when we just agreed we would pick one and stick to it...

Been round at my friends all day, we would of gone to the park but we had a thunder and hail storm so thought it best not too... Caitlyn had a big sleep there but due to her funny eating habits we had to leave... Aimee wasn't too pleased, my friends daughter has Bratz... Aimee's not allowed Bratz...

My 1 dough 50 cookies book came today (thanks for pointing it out Tine ) think I will be popping to town tomorrow for ingredients... I do love a good cookie...

Now to decide what's for tea tonight...

As Toby went from 1 till 4 without feeding, Toby is making up for it with a forty minute (and still going!) mega feed.

I have a spare hoover here someone lent me when mine broke... We got a new one as a wedding present but my friend has not collected hers back... It's been nearly a year, I've mentioned it to her a couple of times... Think it would be wrong of me to freecycle it? (You're welcome to come collect it Tia lol)
