    Plus the whole thing brings back to me when we were asked "Did you want him
    Christened? The hospital vicar can be here straight away..."
    ((Hugs)) for horrible memories :(. Rhys sure proved 'em wrong :D

    CSH - that is seriously cute!!

    Feelie - I've just seen that you posted where you live, I didn't get to that post before I posted asking you. Oh, it's quite far from me :(, I was going to offer to meet up with you but it's nearly two hours away :(.

    Jillie - I keep meaning to ask you...did you get that necklace for your neice in the end and did she like it?

    Weezl - Caitlin was back to back, so not breech but I did some exercises and she moved round by week 35, I think it was. She might have moved of her own accord anyway but I did the exercises religiously. I wrote Skinty a PM about them when Lilia was the facing the wrong way. I'll forward it on to you if I've still got it, if you like. ETA: Oh, since writing the above, I've seen that Aless has sent you a link to a site.
    ETA - How did chopsticks do that many quotes
    Copying and pasting into Notepad ;)

    :wave: Hi Keely. Long time no see!

    Yep, mine came in a cardboard box with big bubble pads and brown paper, sorry They've gone up to £5 now!
    I ordered another one on Monday whilst the prices were still low, so hopefully that one will turn up OK (although I've ordered that one on behalf of my mum). Fingers crossed they reply to my email. No idea why they put a box in a jiffy bag. It was so badly crushed, the box had even ripped.

    Do you think she might be in a panic thinking its night time and not feeling ready for her bed? Have you thought about a travel cot in the lounge or something?
    I hadn't thought of it like that. That is perfectly possible though, as she's had the same bedtime routine since she was three weeks old. Bath, PJs, bottle then bed. Maybe I'm confusing her :confused:.
    He is clever though, OH gave him a cup with water in and he drank from it! He didn't spill any, tipped it up and had some, put it down and repeated it until he'd drank it all!
    That's great! I have to do it for Caitlin (lazy baby :D) and it goes everywhere.

    ooh thanks for that with the CDs hubby off tomorrow so we're ebaying wheter he likes it or not. how much do you charge for posting a cd is it bout a quid? tell me to fluke off and look on ebay if you want
    I haven't sold a CD for ages but I used to charge £1.20 I think as I used to wrap them in bubblewrap and brown paper so had to buy those. I think, but someone else may be able to confirm, that eBay now makes anyone selling a CD to offer free P+P which is a pain :( ETA: CSH has already replied.
    There's around a fortnight between each Caity then, mine arrived on the 26th May... And seeing as I was first, I know you all copied me on the name... It's OK... I don't mind ;)

    Body shop order arrived today by UPS, I ordered 6 things though and they came in a bigger box with some of the rustlyest brown paper ever padding it out... Caitlyn loved the paper, she dragged it all around the floor and kept rolling on it!

    Thanks for letting us copy :D. PinkPig's Caitlyn and my Caitlin have the same middle name too :D

    Just my order that's damaged then :rolleyes:

    Re. chewing things, Caitlin is currently sat on my lap chewing the USB cable (not the connector, I'll just add!) for my shopandscan scanner!

    I saw Becles post somewhere else (employment board, maybe?) the other day.. meant to send her a msg too...
    ... In a "we miss you" kind of fashion, not a stalking one, obviously
    Thank you, glad they're both OK.

    I dont think I was online when you first stated it, but late last night you mentioned about being £84 lighter, and I was intrigued, so i went noseying!! :cool:

    it was me syaing about starting back to sliming world.....the pictures only showed (is that correct grammar!?) my face! not my post-baby belly! But that is very kind of you for saying so! :o I would just like to tone up and lose about a stone. currently size 16 and would like to be on the large sife of 12, small side of 14 (to start with!) :cool:

    You went and read back? Brave lady, very brave!

    Oh the grammar will do. If i'm not correct my girls tell me off ;) you don't have to worry about them though!

    Well, fair enough, you didn't show your belly, but you do what you feel you need and want too. Lucy is size 8 I think, maybe pushing 10 She's very petite, so I don't have her talking about her weight. She's not had any children though, so if she does, we'll worry about it then. You'll never be able to say you're unattractive though now you've posted your pic, as we know what you look like, and I mean this in a non smarmy way, but you are very pretty.
    Right - I just want to tell you how I read the thread...so if anybody thinks I am a cow I can pre-justify myself :D

    You made sense :D
    Megapost coming up, sorry:

    MOTM - I keep meaning to ask, was it 6th Decemeber that you first met your Lady Friend?

    Talk about putting the rest of us to shame! Well done on including as many people as possible.

    Yes, 6th December. One month anniversary today and rest assured I am cooking dinner, feeding her chocolates tonight and generally going to make her feel good.

    I went out in the snow earlier and bought some flowers which she hasn't been shown yet ;) She knows it's one month and said 'Shame we didn't think of doing anything for it'. Well, she's going to get a surprise.

    The kids are off school again tomorrow :j

    Oh and don't worry about getting names wrong etc. These things happen, so don't worry too much ;)

    Clever chopsticks! ;)

    That reminds me, Body Shop arrived yesterday. Lucy is going to have hers tonight for our anniversary. ;) I wasn't going to mention it until feelie mentioned it. She has a good memory that one!

    Boogeleyboo - Hello, don't think we've met? LO used to feed for ages and ages, but has settled down a bit now. For quite a while, he'd latch on whenever I offered and just feed and feed and feed. Then one day he latched off himself and had decided he'd had plenty! He doesn't eat to exploding anymore. You are definitely doing the right thing, sometimes they are just really hungry. Is she giving plenty of wet nappies? I'll leave the rest to Krystal :)

    Hi Feelie - No I dont think we have 'met' so Hi :D
    Tonnes of wet nappies, I'll persevere and ring the helpline today. Thanks for letting me know its normal and some just take longer.

    Im getting her weighed tomorrow so we'll see what she's put on in the last 3 weeks. (my clinics on a thurs so with xmas eve and NYE its only reopening tomorrow.) Isla will be 7 weeks and is still in her newborn clothing, some of which is massive on her.
    I'm afraid I can't help on the BF question as Henry only feeds for 15-20 minutes, but I'm sure someone can help! Just wanted to say hello to my birth date buddy :D.
    .

    Hi birth date buddy :D Hows Henry doing? Love the piccie of him, soo cute. Ive just realised too, me and OH are born on the same date so maybe we should introduce Henry & Isla when their older so they can fall in love and share a birthday too :rotfl:

    Will catch up later, I need to read all page 87...

    Anyone in need of a 0-3month pink BHS snow suit? It's been singed in the TD, no marks but it's not fluffy soft like it should be. Might come out with a good soak in softener and a brush but as its too wee for podgy, its at the fairy depo.

    Fat club? It was you that posted those lovely pics the other day wasn't it? Fat club indeed. If that is the case perhaps I'd better join you!!!

    Glad I was able to help you with fb, see I do have my uses sometimes.

    Weezl, I nearly 'loved you' too after that comment, it's things like that that keep me smiling on the bad days when I can't do anything right. Not that today is one of them but I'll store it up for the next one. Thank you.
