    A maternity cleaver? :eek: :eek: :eek: :cool:

    Weighing up which purchases are more important in the next few months - a single futon-chair for the spare room so that we actually have a spare bed, a cot-bed for our soon-to-be-16-month-old, a gateleg dining table so that we can "dine together as a family" but fit it into a small space, or a 37"-42" LCD TV :p Not entirely sure I can afford any of them right now but if a good deal appeared there is always credit!

    LOVE the cow print vest! I have to get one, where is it from? :confused:

    Hiya Gisi, how are you getting on with Henry?..he is beautiful btw,seen his pic over on preg thread!

    Had a good night again with Ethan last night..fed him and put him down in his cot at 10pm, he woke up at 3am for a quick feed, then back in his cot and back asleep for 4am then slept till 7am. Another feed,abit of awake time then back asleep..woke for feeding again at 10am then back to sleep and he still is now but I'm expecting him waking for next feed soon.

    Question for breastfeeding mummies who express milk too....how old was lo when you started doing this and when did you do it?...first thing in morning? Late at night?...

    Jillie- Hope I didn't offend you re travel agent comments (!) I was only kidding really!! Who do you work for? We booked with Going Places, hope they are not your 'competition'?!

    Congrats Aunty Glam! I 'd love to be an aunty but big sis has a few problems so maybe never :-(

    no offense taken. we're well used to it! we both work for Thomas Cook, which is the same as Going Places.

    we're meeting mil/fil in a bit and having dinner with them. so will be mia today.
    chat later maybe, if not defo tomorrow!!

    hope everyone has a good day

    Abdominal exercise wheel £1 on halfcost plus free del till 02/12. (plus FF15 will save 10%)

    love2shop vouchers can also be spent at ELC, which will give you £30 instore instead of £24.
    I recommend looking here and here.

    Boots have lots of Ben 10 stuff, some on 3 for 2. They also have their Sweet Shop. And if you order online for in-store delivery it's free and you can get Quidco.

    If you need to stock up on Christmas food, try making an Approved Food order and getting some sweets from there.

    That was fun!
