    Well DS1 is done, he has his PSP and whatever games (I forget) and he has been told that Santa can manage a PSP and we can manage a few games and that is it because it is a really, really big present. He's quite happy and not expecting anything else, just desperate for his PSP :D

    MFD - it's great that you are all discussing the potential rules together. It shows good communication and sets a good example for the children (and all of us!).

    Chopsticks - my news?! well I am NOT joining the pregnant club if that's what you are wondering! A friend has asked me to consider going into business with her. I am very flattered and very keen, so we are currently putting together a business plan and doing our research. I'm playing things close to my chest - but when I know it's going to be going ahead I promise to spill the beans properly :D

    Had a lovely weekend - went out last night with some gril friends for dinner and bubbly. We gossiped for the whole night and I didn't get home until 2am. I feflt like a naughty teenage sneaking in the door - only to trip over LO's walker and wake DH up - ooops! It was great letting my hair down a little (I'm not good at that sometimes) and great for DH to do some babysitting :D

    my baby has a big bump on the bridge of her nose :( she has mastered standing unaided, but sat down with a bang yesterday and bumped her nose/head on her wicker toy basket. She was very brave though :D

    sami - now I may be a few months behind on this one but am I right in thinking Chris loves peppa pig? In next on Friday they had boys george pig pyjamas. Sorry if I've got it all wrong or this phase has passed - when I saw them I somehow thought of you!

    and I have a question....as always! My stock of wipes is running low. I prefer pampers or huggies and usually buy them when I see them on offer - are there any promotions coming up/baby events due to take place?????

    Ooo - I saw something earlier that I wanted to show everyone... hang on...
