    3 - my parents are close by and we're having Big Family Christmas there. I'm so excited - my mother is beside herself, all the Christmas stuff I've bought is being delivered to their house and she's running out of room :rotfl:

    Morning All :hello:

    Sorry, I'm useless at giving advice - plus when I do, my pet trolls tend to wade in, criticise, take over the thread and spoil everything. So I'll just stay quiet and offer you all a pervy hug instead :grouphug:

    have I missed something?
    tigs - u feel free to give advice, I'll chase off your trolls like I did on the pg thread barstewards :mad:


    anyway, I like hearing about Andrew so pls give us updates

    Too slowly for my liking but we will get there. Need to ask MIL to babysit next Friday (when it goes in!) I will deserve a little treat :D



    *searches for sulking smiley*



    HUG and good luck for your phonecall Weezl - try to have all aspects thought through but don't overanalyse/overplan the conversation or you will end up in tears like I did the other day :o

    There is nothing more frustrating than having to ask the same question twice is there?


    Elle - good luck for today.

    We have a busy day ahead so will be AWOL for most of the day. Have fun all.


    Ooo - and if anyone sees any nice (but reasonable) bibs with press-studs rather than Velcro could you let me know where please. Benjamin only keeps a velcro one on for 30 seconds these days and I like to laugh at him pulling at a press-stud one :rotfl:

    M&S have them

    We have an arrangement to work that i can do my KIT days whenever I like / they need me, but I'll only be paid for them in the unpaid three months so there's none of the instead of / on top of SMP faff to think about.

    When do you want to do them? Occasionally or in one lump? :)

    How did they take to the news of you not coming back? :)

    Yup, any kind of mei tai can, wraps can too, but not stretchy wraps really as by the time they're big enough for your back they're too big for the stretchy! Kozys are very similar to Joeys but with a shorter body, you didn't ask but I thought I tell you anyway!

    boo for non sling meet attendance btw :-(

    Oh yeah, and about a million years ago I can remember inputting hubbies details for a free toblerone... One arrived this morning with a note congratulating him on becoming a father!
    Me too - Marley's toblerone arrived today :j :j Wonder if he'll share it with me?

    Anyone remember where we saw the toblerone offer? I've searched MSE but can't find it.
