    Goodness Toto, that has gone fast!

    How is Jas? Has she recovered from the operation okay?

    She's still suffering Snags, everyone whose had it done says it takes 2 weeks to recover though, so I think she's doing ok. I feel like a chemist, all I do is throw medication down various kid's throats these days, what with Jas and her throat, amber and her 'lady problems' and Lily's teeth :)

    You give it to an older child to wrap :)

    I want to get Amber a proper wooden rocking horse, she's just started riding for the disabled and she's totally in love with Chloe her horse. We need an adult sized one though. I'm going to wait until the new year though, even on ebay they are just too expensive at the moment.

    opinions on this dress, do you think it would suit?

    Worried it might be too long and come mid calf

    It's hard to say sal, it does look pretty calf length though. Is it on ebay?

    If it's coast buy it Sally. If it's no good take a better photo and you are bound to get more for it than £12.
