    Phillip: Underwear, chocolate paint, [STRIKE]condoms, lube[/STRIKE] (sorry to those who dont like that talk on here!)

    OH is away to work. He has a homer for a friend to go and price, so he'll not be home til after 7 or so!! Late dinner again tonight!! Knocked Katie up some sausage, amsh and beans, although forgot that is what we had on Sunday!! :S

    Sm - a baby hamper could have the following in it:

    baby nail clippers/scissors
    baby cotton buds
    sponge
    bubble bath
    shampoo
    little teether/rattle

    instead of a basket or box, could you wrap them up in a baby towel somehow? If you take things out of the packet then she wouldn't know if they were cheap or expensive either ;)

    or you could take it a step further and do a basket of have baby things and half mummy things....

    LO having a late nap, DH at home in the bath and I'm catching up here.

    LO doing really well and she's coming on at great pace. She's not talking but for the last 2 days has been saying 'yum yum yum' everytime she has a mouthful of food - does that count?! :rotfl: All of a sudden she's found her appetite and no doubt it's because she's getting braver with every step. :D

    DH has a new job starting in a couple of weeks so is on gardening leave which is a lovely surprise although I am having to cancel some mummy and baby things so we can fit in some family time :D

    carla - if you register with ELC they send you a discount voucher for 20% off when it's your LO's birthday. Always good to know about that one ;)
