    No damage other than microwave, apart from the smell!
    When I say 'fire' I actually mean thick black smoke and glowing red hot not actual flames. I am prone to meladrama:D

    Still flucked off thats the kettle, washing machine and microwave. Not to mention the trampoline incident and the upstairs hall DG window :mad: Just when I get sorted something else goes

    Weezl, thanks, putting 4 scoops in then mixing then the other 4 is working out better. I'm just lazy and it seems drawn out, but better than cleaning up gloopy powder. :D

    Mel, you know you have probably just made Elle buy that rocker! :rotfl: Its lovely!

    Feely, I'm good, less stressed right now which is great, but have admitted to myself that I am a shopaholic and it's getting out of hand (even with all the finance planning I'm itching to work out how I can sneakily get £20 to buy crap). All at home good right now. Sorry your not doing so well, nothing I can say but I hope you find a way to get better huni.

    Harley, I meant to comment on your pics, Kezia is lovely with a huge amount of hair and eyes as blue as MM's Dylan! A snowman is a snowman but sadly, DH was telling me of the nearby snow castle with details such as leadwork on windows! Nutters round here, cos its all villages, we aint goyt nowt better to do.

    Jillie, did I tell you that I managed to wash the bouncer? It washes fine, I out it in on a 30' handwash (cos of all the poo). It was dripping when it came out though. Kian is a bouncer pooper too isn't he?

    Beenie, Amber had to be in a routine of sorts from 2 weeks old as well. 7am feed, boys dropped off at 9 and 9.30am, then fed again at 10-10.30am. I learned to ignore her if she was crying and she learned she had to wait and was better off sleeping.

    Weezl, I missed it, were you scanned or are they guessing? They swore blind DS2 was breech and so I was scanned on admision to hospital (3 days before my body evicted him) and he was head down and perfect.

    Tara, your poor friend! She must be so peeved right now, hoep things get better.

    Just realised your page 87 and mine are different! Feel a bit daft now!! This is page 175ish for me. Page 87 was Hogmany, that'll teach me for being nosey!

    No you can't point and laugh :mad: It wasn't me :p DD was making micro popcorn :D

    Weezl, I remember you saying you had researched cheap ways to heat a little room and that a oil filled radiator was the way to go :) off the top of your head, do you think this one would be ok to give a little heat off in Seths little box room? Its the only room in the house there is no radiator! Or can you recommend one at all? :)


    That's the one we've got Em! It costs 9p an hour on our tariff and it's thermostat is quite good so it won't keep churning out heat once the room has warmed up. Doesn't make a loud noise when it restarts so fergie's never been disturbed by it. The only thing I'd recommend is popping a wet face flannel over it at night, to add a bit of moisture to the heat. Oil-filled rads are quite a dry heat so can make LOs cough or give them dry skin.

    HTH :)
