    Elle - that sounds a bit nasty of them if he's been paying fine, nasty pasties natwest!

    Well, he originally agreed to pay £300ish when he took out the loan, then lost his job and took a lower paid one and with everything else can only afford £240ish now. He has the budget to show it and the courts agreed it's a reasonable amount (not like he's only paying £5 a month) and he's always paid it through CCCS but they're still persisting :(

    .. Also seems to have drained poor little Fergie, who's just too tired to eat any dinner..

    Weezl - SO CUTE!!!!!

    My monster is finally sleeping for more than ten minutes and I can't drift off. She's in the bed snoozing away on top of Papa, who "went in to settle her" and sneakily fell asleep himself. Very cute.

    An insect bit my hand. Most irritating. I'm hoping antiseptic cream stops the itching.

    Thank you :) I love photography, it's part of what I used to do, I had a little company doing web design.

    I've been meaning to mention it to you all actually, cos you might find it useful. Basically I can do photo-retouching, so if you have a photo of your LOs which you love but has a blemish on it-sleepy dust, bit of food, red eye that kinda thing, I'm really up for working on them for you for gifts for people.

    I even replaced my neices gappy front tooth in a picture for her grandparents for christmas :)

    thanks for the compliments :)

    I feel pretty ok generally, just quite in need of naps :) fortunately DH is being very lovely and is totally up for that. I have fewer symptoms than with Fergie, which is mostly great, but sometimes it worries me a little?

    you seemed to have lots of energy with edgar, running around after Christopher all day and chatting with us til the wee small hours :T:T:T

    edit: yes hello gin :), and lurk away Fitzio-looking forward to you joining us :)
    I'm sure its fine, at least you've not got worse symptoms like I did _pale_
    I'm not sure I have that much energy :p I feel like I never get anything done.

    That sounds perfectly reasonable to me, they are meanies!

    ooh Weezl, I'll be taking you up on that offer! ;)
    I've forgotten did you know you were having a boy with Fergie and do you plan on finding out this time? x

    I did know, and I would like to know again.

    Although like everyone I'll be very happy to just have a healthy baby, I would like a girl, but would rather get my head round not having one before I meet him so I can be extra welcoming ;):D.

    Unfortunately although I read tara's tips on having a girl, it (TMI alert) required not achieving the big 'O'.

    And erm... In 10 years of marriage I've never not!:o

    *scurries away, disbelieving I've just said that online*

    What does everyone think to the whole "Baby's First Christmas" thing.. You seem to be able to get just about everything - bibs, sleepsuits, bowls, plates, baubles, stockings, you get the picture.. - with "Baby's First Christmas" on it. Is it worth it? What happens to those bits when it comes to Baby's second Christmas? :confused:
    I think it's a waste of money but I'm not into all that consumerism stuff really.
