    weezl i was thinking pom pom but cant remember how to make them x

    2 ring doughnut shaped pieces of card held together with your thumb and forefinger, while you wrap wool through the missle and round the outside till all the card is fatly covered. Then cut around the edge of the ring and tie a piece of wool securely between the 2 card rings before easing them off. Is it coming back to you now :confused::rotfl:

    I'm not keen on nurseries - I don't know why but I just feel uncomfortable leaving little ones in that sort of environment. If my parents couldn't have Charlotte, I would have been a SAHM rather than put her in a nursery.

    However there are two play groups a week on in my old school. My Mam likes taking Charlotte to those and she enjoys herself, and my Mam enjoys chatting to my old school friends Mam's who also take grandchildren :D

    Both the boys were cared for my by my parents. They were born earlier in the school year than Charlotte so James got a term and Joshua got two free terms in a playgroup in the community centre here that take children from 3 until they start school. The ones who are going to the Catholic school tend to leave and use the church nursery, but the ones who are going to the other school tend to stay there until they start reception.

    Charlotte was born in May and will just start nursery at the Catholic school next September. She has to wear full school uniform too - skirt or trousers, blouse and tie - awww!

    I ordered the chocolate and it came today. I ordered 3 boxes of the £19.99 Continental boxes, so only paid £39.98 for them plus the postage and I got the £50 hamper free. It looks yummy and could be split up for stocking filler presents but I might keep it for myself :D

    Been to the doctors with James as he's started getting the same Raynauds symptoms as me. The doctor said it's not very common for children to get it, but it probably is Raynauds Phenomenon which is what I have. He asked about medication and I said I didn't get on with the tablets I tried, so we agreed self help is best - taking care to wear warm clothes, using handwarmers etc.However he wants to rule out any underlying reason for it, so he's referring us to the paediatrician at the hospital just to be on the safe side.

    Also got his height and weight checked as he's gone really skinny again, but the doctor said they are fine. He said he'd rather see a lot more children like James as he sees too many obese ones!

    He's also back at CAMHS as he's been kicking off with his attitude again. Still haven't got to the bottom of it, but I think it's to due with his birth Dad messing him around. He keeps mentioning that a lot.
    Here I go again on my own....
