    Morning,

    Just been catching up.

    Sami – glad you enjoyed your holidays! Your boys are so cute in the pics.

    MDW – what about M&S, Little ASOS, John Lewis or Next?

    I am not into tattoos for me and wouldn’t like DH to have one either. But I have seen some I like on other people. If I was trendier and they weren’t permanent or painful, I would consider it, but as they are not, there is no way I would want one.

    MFD – I have bought little pram boots from M&S for Holly’s Christmas, but she is a too young for them yet so can’t help with sizing I am afraid. And she does have big feet!

    Buttons – Happy Birthday! Hope you have a lovely day. I hate Costco birthday cake by the way. It smells funny!!! My dad used to get them for people in his work all the time, and I could always tell days later that he had had a Costco cake in his boot as the car would be reeking! This was a good few years ago though so it might not be so bad now but it’s put me right off.

    Best get off now. It's SIL's birthday today so making trip down to in laws this afternoon. Unfortunately I had ordered her a CD from CD Wow, and it hasn't arrived yet! Must be because of the postal strikes. Ah well, she is getting the Sanctuary box thing from Boots as well, so will still have something to open. Catch you all later. xxx

    Keira was a 6 1/2 for most of her being 2, in a size F.

    She's now an 8 F in one foot and a 7 1/2 G in the other lol.

    Sure they measured it wrong though.

    My sister ellie has scary feet, her big toe looks like a thumb!

    Happy Birthday Button xx

    Chicken pox: MDW - try and get some calamine in aqueous cream from the chemists. The calamine helps stop the itching and the aqueous cream stops the skin from drying out. I used it on all three of mine and it really helps.

    Button: Kiera might be immune to chicken pox. My Mam had countless friends with chicken pox, then nursed me and my brother and all three of mine when we've had it, but she's never caught it at all herself!

    Shoes: Charlotte has been in a 7G for ages now. I just checked them last week and her toes are getting near to the end, so they'll probably only last a few more weeks.
    Here I go again on my own....

    *ahem* Morning all.. :o

    Rhys and I woke up 8am, then dozed, feed and chatted until half an hour ago :D Only got up cos OH will be home any minute.. :o

    My delightful child's muttering of the day.. "oooogly!" - charming! :cool: OH has been trying to teach him vowel sounds so we also get lots of oh-oh-oh's thrown in at random! :T

    It was BIL birthday yesterday and is FIL's tomorrow so OH is taking Rhys on a tour of his rellies. They all have huge dogs so he's under very strict instructions. I'm not happy about it but we have to go there for Christmas so suppose we better let them all (babies and dogs, I mean) see each other before then.. :o
  • Afternoon all. We have the in-laws here to do DIY today. We have instructed DH and FIL to do the bits in the kitchen first so we can get on with sorting out lunch/baby food etc... So a little time to sit down and get online for a few mins.

  • NMS - Liam is very cute, liking the bike too.

    Becles - thanks for the tip, I'll nip to Mr T pharmacy once DH gets home and see if they have any.

    DD finally given into sleep, now I'll be able to move the washing from behind the front door so DH can get in (I sort it in the hall as the kitchen is a postage stamp and I hate anything being on the floor in there.)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)
