    caz, best of luck with the sale:T

    Have you seen the MSE list with suggestions of what to charge for stuff?

    If not I'll paste it in here for you.

    Also something which worked really well for us yesterday was to have a 10p box and a 20p box labelled on the front flap of the cardboard box, then we said 'bargain box 10p!' as people went past and it got quite a lot of rubbish shifted and persuaded people to come over and look what else we had...

    Yes, I suspect Kleenex's share price will go up today ... They're not coming far, it's only a couple of hours journey. They've held off visiting until we got ourselves sorted out into a post-pregnancy hospital-visiting routine (ie. until I became human again) ;)

    Caz best of luck with today

    Tigs, Bet today will be an emotional one

    Rose had another good nights sleep. Thats two in a row after having a blip midweek. Well ive just sat and written a meal plan as my slow cooker meals went down so well this week and i found it much easier. I have carrot and corriander soup in the slow cooker for tea and a crusty loaf. Have some left over carrots so think i will have to make some more muffins as the cake is all eaten from last week!!

    Hope everyone has a good day x

    Em you should keep him rearward for as long as possible coz it's safer, I'm on iPod so not gOt my bookmarks but I think the site for info is carseats.co.uk I know it around 9mths age wise when they can move up

    ETA it's http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/
    oooh thanks for that. how confusing that it says a different weight to the manufacturers though :confused: i dont mind though, seth is in a 0+ so according to that he doesnt need a new one til he is 29lb, whereas mothercare said 20lb :confused:
    i dont think we'll last that long though - i can barely lift him in the seat at the moment, we only have a stupid 3 door car!!

    Em, i got some magic knicks reduced in m & s at the beginning of August. I was in last week and they still had some. They were reduced from £38 i think down to £3! They were really comfy too x

    PS. they were the ones that came right up to your boobs too x
