hi susan!

glad you had a great christmas.
so funny alice wrapping things for you.

and speaking of presents what was MFD'd mysterious present form DH? keep forgetting to ask her

Becles

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.

SS - I will join you in the BWSC. I keep meaning to pop over there. Not joining you in your sit ups though (although I actually quite like doing sit ups with an abroller but HATE/CANNOT DO press ups!!). Think I am going to do a couple of the OS challenges too, such as cooking one new dish per week. Keep joining the grocery challenge, but forget/don't have time to post on threads other than this one and the mealplan one!

Csh - Before I read your post, I was in the spare room and saw that we had a gift box and it's full of Holly's birth cards and thought to myself, actually, that would do nicely! It's a Baby Girl one and it's very nice. Although it is kind of full with the cards alone.

I have loads of gift bags and I don't know what to do with them. I have re-used a couple of them, but the others are taking up space and it seems a shame to throw them out. Would a charity shop take them? If not, they will go in the recycling bin I think.

Right, madamoiselle is napping again. She is a bit agitated today and her cheeks are burning so teething a bit worse perhaps. Going to try and get stuff cleared whilst she is down as it probably won't last. Might catch up later. x

Fitzio- Put the gift bags on Freecycle?
