Ooooooooooooooohh lovely picture Fitzio!

I'm glad it got there Maz, I have visions of the entire UK being utterly crippled under the snow.

Aless if the futon isn't comfortable try going to a DIY store and picking up a layer of foam to go under the mattress. Cheaper than a new one and those inflatable mattresses are absurd.

yes, I was just wondering where I could acquire a chunk of foam if I needed to...B&Q prolly?

Fitzio, forgot to say Holly looks darling!

Morning

Poppy's cough is back and was so loud last night that she woke Jamie at 3am! :eek:. Luckily he went back off quickly but I think another trip to the Dr's is required on Mon .

We have a birthday party this afternoon so I will call in a min and see if they want us to stay away.

jillie - if you're offering newborn boy's clothes, I'm more than happy to receive, but totally understand if you want to keep for later babies

no problems aless. my mil bought quite a lot of stuff for Kian (lots from mothercare). some i will keep as its really, really cute but you and tigs can share.
remind me what size/weight Finn is so fairies can send the right stuff. will be next week before get to fairy post office

MFD- when is the wedding so cute.

fitzio- love your piccy of holly!!

Fitzio

Thanks guys! Aless, your dad must be really excited about seeing Finn. It will no doubt be an emotional time for you both. We have a sofa bed, but DH's friends actually prefer the mattress from that on the floor to be honest. Not sure were you would get the foam. Try the futon out first. I don't find inflatable mattresses too bad, but usually find they need top ups every couple of days.

Aless - I have a lonely bull on my farm if you want to claim it lol!

Oh God, I'm bawling again at the song I posted the other day - part of it is that the idea that family's what makes you feel safe and that my parents put the dog ahead of Molly's safety so she doesn't have that outside of just her parents, but part of it is the thought that she's just my small girl now, but one day she'll be an adult and coming home for Christmas - and then not coming home for Christmas because she'll have her own home.

Tigs is CWP- Cold Weather Payment?

Yup. Sorry, I dropped into jargon there, spent too long on the Benefits boards!

which type of civil service pension tigs?

some of them look like they'd pay a good lump sum and an ongoing pension to Harley/andrew...

I stuck with the Classic when I had the chance, zero contribution level. I'm kinda hoping the government doesn't change the PCSPS (scheme) to stop it being a final salary one!

Sorry Weezl, I'm sure Harley would be delighted to get Tigs' pension but I think Marley might be a bit miffed!!!

Thanks Jillie - I'm just a bit overwhelmed that it's all going so quickly, she's not a tiny baby any more and every time I look at her she looks more like a little person, and a bit emotional the last few days.
