    I'm in the pyjama club too... And Aimee... My Mum will be here in a minute though so best pop off and fund Aimee's scruffy clothes... She's ruined far to many of her good outfits playing on Mum's 'dirt pile'!

    Sami, too snobby for eBay clothes! :eek:
    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.

    I think a more organised secret santa would be cool, although I'd like to remind people about the postal strikes warning. If nobody minds me using my parents' address (so UK postage) I'd like to play too.

    On the subject of names, Molly's Molly, Mollymoo, Mollymo, Mollyfrog, Monster, Monsterfrog, Mistress Molly, Stenchbum, Grumplestiltskin... perhaps we're going to give her an identity crisis.

    Our poor cat's empty eye socket is swelling up :( He had the eye removed because of a tumour, but it's all swollen again, and since his kidneys are also failing the chances are we'll have to put him to sleep. He is a horrible little bu99er, but I'll miss him.

    I've swapped PJ bottoms for jeans. Still got my vest top on but it's a M'care nursing vest so I might get away with it :p

    Elle, do you find the little clips on those vests ok? Mine are always in peril of coming unclipped.

    I had a dream the other night that I found a bra with a fantastic nursing clip that didn't feel precarious at all. I was so excited to put on my new bra when I woke up and then I remembered it was only a dream :(

    Forgot to add that there were two boys who bullied me in school (and the school did nothing). One of them's in prison now for drugs offences and domestic violence. The other's a policeman.

    They get better with use, I find :) Very handy for expressing - can do it handsfree with one of these on! ;)

    :shhh: :o I know. I have nothing against it, I sell our clothes but I've only ever bought 1 2nd hand piece of clothing on there.
    We have lots of hand me downs from friends, if we needed to I would but whilst trying to not sound unkind to anyone we can afford to buy new so we do :undecided

    you need a vest from here http://www.cantaloop.com/en/component/dwproducts/?id=16
    They have fabby clips! Caz and I got them to test from BB and it took us a few wears to get used to them but both agree they're much better than the more common style clip :)

    If the policeman is based where ur from my MIL prob knows him, that's the station she's at.

    I hate that schools never seam to do anything :mad: there was a boy at my high school who got physically bullied because he'd had cancer - how evil can you get! He was so scared once that he had to be carried out of school by the PE teacher because he'd collapsed with fear
