    I remember that now you mention it. I wonder if it makes a difference whether you are formula or breast feeding?

    I had a normalish one but mine are usually heavy. And I only had chance to have one!

    If I have the same 6 week gap after Kester I will have had one proper period in 22 and a half months :o:D:cool:

    Quick question, on Freecycle, I can ignore people I don't want to give the items to can't I? I don't like people who don't say please!

    It took me a while to work out what that was. I thought it was a strange scarf at first. I want this because it can do mince, sausages and pasta. I showed OH earlier and he said, "You want to make pasta?" In a suprised voice. Apparently my buying pasta flour, telling him I was going to make pasta and pointing out a bargain pasta machine on eBay before Christmas hadn't given the game away.

    awww poor susan! your hints didn't pay off then?

    We walked past a wedding dress shop and she said "ohhh real princess dresses" so we had to stop and admire them and she had to look at all the sparkly shoes and crowns (she thought the tiara's were crowns!). Then we passed an evening dress shop so she had to look at all of those too. She's looked in the jewellers at the sparkly things and then she looked in a handbag shop and asked if I would buy her a purple handbag that she liked. I had to say no as it was £165. God help her future husband :rotfl:
    What is it with little girls and bags? Alice always tries to grab all the handbags in Tesco.

    You can ignore anyone you want! I put stuff on the local classifieds and had a bunch of people just saying, I'll take it. So I ignored them all and gave the stuff to people who at least sent me a polite request.

    Susan I have a pasta machine and love it :D

    Edit: I've just given OH the hypothetical situation that it's December and I've pointed out something and said it would be great to have. His response was that he'd expect me to buy it and have no idea that I meant, I'd like this for Christmas, please. Men are silly. Why do they not understand a perfectly reasonable hint?

    I think I said something like, "If you're looking for Christmas present ideas, here's a pasta machine on eBay for local collection and it's a really good price. It ends tomorrow so you'll need to decide quick." He didn't get round to thinking about it in time but he did then get me the oven thermometer I asked for.

    Meant to say - Jillie - what was Kian's birth weight? C was 7lb 4 and they were born on the same day - they seem to be tracking each other!

    he was 6lb 15oz. so not a big difference.

    Yes we often get ones that say Various in the title and then they are listed.
    You might want to say you are happy for them to go to one person or happy to split
