    I too have one of these in the nursery, stuffed full of cuddly toys (all mine, but Andrew will get them in time), hung on a hook into the ceiling. But mine also falls down, I'm thinking I'll have to stitch the loop closed as the velcro won't hold.


    I too have one of these (in green to fit in with safari theme) and plan to use it for soft toys - not put it up yet!
    Jack's clothes are currently stored in canvas storage units inside wardrobe.

    Elle - wasn't it your idea for the ebay thread? Get taking pics and get listing!

    BM - what a little !!!!! at Keira's nursery!

    MM - glad Dylans appt went well.

    Weezl - good luck telling the parents, am sure it will be fine.

    Mookie - PMSL at your superman story!

    Elle - at Rhys' heart 'tattoo'

    MM - tell her where to go! You bought the item based on the price she stated in her item description. I've sold stuff and not put enough postage - that's my fault not the buyer! Hell, I had to send something to Cork (even thou item said UK only) and said it would be £16 but in fact it was only £8 so I refunded them a fiver.

    Right, all caught up (unless someone posts while I type this bit!)

    Guess who was in ASDA at 3.30am?
    12am - bed
    2.15am - OH wakes me to say he's got a bad cough and can't sleep, then gets sh1tty with me cos we've got no cough medicine. I offered to buy some Monday but he said no!
    2.45am - Jack wakes for feed
    3.30am - go to see OH who says I don't care about him anymore
    3.45am - ASDA to buy medicine and all of a sudden OH thinks I'm wonderful - which of course I am!
    4.15am - back to bed
    5.30am - Jack wakes for feed and won't settle

    So am very tired today and Jack has been very clingy and in a funny eating mood which makes me wonder if he's coming down with something. Nipped out for an hour to town leaving OH with Jack and OH actually changed his nappy properly - it's the first time he's done one!!!!

    Got stacks of stuff to do but Jack won't let me put him down - he cries everytime I try!

    Mammoth post - must try and keep up better!

    ETA - PC crashed - so glad I copied this post!
    MM - yeah that sounds fine!

    Krystal when you're about - thanks for the Magic Eraser tip! I got one and its great!

    My cooker front & top is beautifully white again. I set fire to some sausages last week, and the flames turned the front panel & knobs black! I'd already tried scrubbing with cloths, scourers and sprays - and was thinking I'd have to have a new cooker!

    It's so clean, OH will think i've been scrubbing at it all day, when really i've been out buying boots and shoes! ;)

    Errrmmm... :whistle: :p

    Can't believe you went to Asda for OH - I'd have made him go or left him to suffer! :cool: Now he's proved himself capable (ish!), you ought to leave him with Jack for all of this evening and pamper yourself! :T

    elle - he's the type who would need to wash his hair before he went out. I on the other hand went braless and without brushing my teeth - hell, it's not like I was gonna see anyone!
    He was going to go back to bed but I told him he had to watch Jack while I was gone - he literally sat there and watched him the whole time :rotfl:

    As for pampering myself :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I wish - he watched Jack while I had a shower, defuzzed and did my hair earlier. That's about as much pampering that I'm likely to get!

    Too much to do as usual and I must get to bed at a reasonable time tonight cos I've gotta be up early so will miss out on my morning nap.

    My dad rang....

    Oh dear :(

    classic comments including 'I thought you were over-sensitive of late'

    'How will you cope?'

    'How will we all cope?'

    'I keep my fingers crossed for viability'

    sami, neither of them said congratulations :) They are in many ways good people and good parents, but my news is their news if you see what I mean. It's all about what they feel about it rather than what I feel about it.
