Susan, our goose must have had all your goose's fat - we bought extra for roasting potatoes and didn't need any of it because there was so much fat it was really quite disturbing.

But it turned out ok really - my mother attempted to sabotage the dinner by turning up the heat and burning the meat and potatoes, so the extra fat kept them relatively soft.

And I thought my mum stalking me on e-Bay was weird.

Woohoo! Going sideways down the street in the snow was fun!!!! Its a blizzard here again today, of course it onl;y started after i left or I would have stayed in:rolleyes:

Nice to 'see' you Susan, and pleased to see your family are well and enjoyed christmas. lol at Alice now wrapping things!

Well done Seth!

MM- How is the injury today?

Elle- if your attic is anythinh like mine, just shut the hatch and back away slowly. Its the only place in the house I've never organised and I have frequent nightmares about the state of it!

Mel, sorry you are having a tough time but glad to see Kai improving even if its slow progress x

Pleased to hear you had a good Christmas Susan. That's funny about Alice wrapping things up for you.

Charlotte enjoyed the presents too. She liked opening hers and then helping others open theirs

Quick question- has anyone got a nice 'memory box' to keep sentimental baby things in? I'd like one that's at least A4 type size to put cards, first babygrow etc in but can't find one I like. I don't want to spend a fortune, but wondered if anyone on here had found nice one anywhere? TIA.

.

i got a storage box from Dunhelm. £2.49. nothing fancy but i am going to make it more fancy, its a really good size. and i have all the cards, tags from hospital. his coming home outfit, christmas cards. little mementos. they all fitted in fine and i still have room for his first shoes etc...
Clintons do some nice ones as well but they are card. thought the plastic would be more long lasting

Oh yeah, I forgot to say Memory box thing: I've got 2 'gift boxes' from the Disney store that people have bought us. They are sort of like an oversized shoe box.Perfect size and theme for all his wee bits and pieces and 'firsts' have also got a baby book and 2 baby albums, just need to get round to filling them up!

Thanks. We sometimes have to restrain Alice when giving birthday presents to other children so stop her opening them for them.
