    Hurrah, Mum's going to have Rhys for the day on Tuesday (or possibly Thursday). Should be able to get a few bit sorted then and make room for the Christmas tree. Am perhaps comtemplating getting a smaller tree for the next few years (ours is a wide 6ft one).. might have a look if there are any offers around.. :cool:

    ETA: Gosh, when did Christmas trees get so expensive?! Maybe not then.. I don't remember how much I paid for ours three years ago but it didn't seem loads - obviously in my pre-MSE days! :oSimilar one now from Argos (can't remember if ours is Argos or Tesco - tree is from one, decorations pack was from the other) is £20 on offer!

    Need the space saving option - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2698087/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CGifts%7C14417351/c_2/3%7C15701225%7CChristmas+trees+and+decorations%7C14417485/c_3/4%7Ccat_14417485%7CChristmas+trees%7C14417490.htm ;)

    ETA2: Ahh.. OH has just pointed out I've just spent £20 on a stocking and present sack for Rhys using the justification "But it's only like 50p per item per year..." :whistle: Hmm.. suppose that kinda works for trees too!

    I got one of tjose for DS2 but as he wasn't walking or sitting he never used it. It is under the bed for Amber though ;)

    Speaking of the princess, her face is all sparkly because my bronzer has rubbed on to her. Pretty!!!
    See Ryry thinks he's about 1 year old he pulls himself up to stand now and sits on his own so I reckon he'll love it!
    LOL I got Rry the first one off ebay for £2.36! bargain, but ex gave it to him one day when I was out :rolleyes:
    And Mum got him the 2nd one which was what i was going to get him but told her tog et it instead cos she's so indisisive, i thought i;d make her mind up for her!

    Sorry AM, I meant he didn't use because he couldn't sit or walk at a year old due to the CP, and by the time he could, he was too old for it. Amber will use it and love it though, knew I kept it for a reason :D

    Actually.. looking at pics he is sitting when wearing his helmet, but couldn't sit at his birthday party... when did he sit??

    I'm fed up of tidying now :( Boys are having a ball in town though, and it wasn't *insert z list celeb* who turned the lights on, it was Uncle Andrew :D (Z list celeb presses fake button, Uncle Andrew actually flips the manky switch).
