oh, elle I thought you were looking at some when you were getting the mugs.. oh well
I remember the one tia said, cuz that was my drunken rambling night !!

don't be Elle, they would have been ebay'd if Rhys hadn't had them, I'm only keeping the odd things that I really like in case I get my #3 baby, I'm not that sentimental about clothes, dunno why...


Did I mention that I looked into the fingerprint jewelry and one site said that babies fingerprints aren't fixed until 6mths so you shouldn't get one before then

I think the slide is a great idea!
Chris had the asda's own version of that, it lasted about 8 months until he destroyed it last week, not bad for £3

Slide was OH's idea, or a trampoline but I think that Lo is a bit young for one of the big trampolines?

Scribbler from Asda ? might be an idea as its cheaper !! He doesnt really play with that many toys but also thinking of some Lego Duplo (Thomas set) as he has that at nursery and loves Thomas - probably as joint pressie from people.

BTW I looked at the Philidelphia (sp?) and its 23% fat, 14% sat fat for a comparison butter is 82.7% fat, 54.7% sat fat. Peanut butter 48.9% fat, 9.4% sat fat

all figures taken from packets in my fridge

humph Madison is 14 months old on Tuesday and still hasn't got any teeth, you can see them in her gums but they are just not cutting through, i'll give her another 2 weeks and think i may just pop her along to the dentist and see what they say

Awww.. I never knew it was Chris' first! I kept it for the memory box Have kept a few special little bits from each size and the others have been passed on to a lovely little boy called Andrew

Awwwwww that's so lovely that things are going from one dinky baby to the next - you ladies are wonderful. I have a bit of a tear in my eye

Nothing exciting to report so back to lurking for me. And writing my Christmas cards, although there are only ten of them and they will not be posted till the 21st December anyway. There's also an outside chance that I'll do some housework today, although Husband is responding positively to my demands for our emergency cleaner to become our cleaner so perhaps I won't.

Edit: Did I tell you ladies yesterday about IWOOT.com's £15 off £40 with free delivery offer? There's also a surprise gift, matching umbrella and handbag and bath bomb for £3.95 on the Grabbit board, which would do for small gifts. Someone was looking for gifts for small boys - look at Argos's 2 for £15 and also check their website for the local store clearance offers, I got a M&P foot cosy/changing bag for £15 yesterday and a giant ball for playing at the park for £3.

Chris has THIS trampoline, it was a b00ger to put together but great once up, he still loves bouncing almost 2years later, there's no scary springs on it just a REALLY strong elastic (that is what made it hard to put together, it took 3 of us over an hour :rotfl:)
what about a tool kit? I like THIS one its on Chris's list.

They'll say wait n see just be happy you don't have to put up with the grumpy baby (or is she being grumpy anyway?)
There's nothing you can do to make them come faster and I'm pretty sure it's not a sign of a problem if they're slow coming
Chris got his first at 11mths

I don't send out christmas cards... Stopped a couple of years ago... There were just too many random people I knew to say hello to at church or toddler groups etc, I wouldn't know whether to send a card to them or maybe didn't know their names, and I didn't want to offend them by giving cards out to others and missing them so in the end I decided to stop the stress and don't bother!

I have a miserable baby today... She's usually so pleasant but last night and this morning she's been very grizzly....

Buttons, Carla and Rmac... I've facebooked you

Which reminds me...the fairies wondered what Elle thought of this photo







I can't believe my big chunk ever fit into this tiny outfit!! It is up to 1 month, 10lb and has only ever been worn this once. It was a present from Big Brother

Benjamin says 'haven't the fairies taken that away yet?'




Edit - LOL that is my post-partum Benjamin Bulge sticking out at the bottom of the photo!!!! We were coming home from hospital that day!!
