    Hi Everyone....sorry i havent posted in so long. I still read alot but the longer i dont post, the harder it seems to be to join in again!

    Just a few things lately that I was going to comment on if i can remember. Someone a while ago mentioned the flat bookcases. We made one from mdf and i have to say it came out wonderful, better for us than a bought one as i painted it to match the bedroom furniture.

    Rose also has a full weetabix for breakfast and i sometimes wonder about giving her something else as she seems to maybe still want something else but ive been reluctant. She has her 8 month check last week ( well sort of, they sent for her but then as she was so premature, decided it needed to be done at 10 months. Not sure what they would have checked as they didnt even try to see what she was/ wasnt doing.) and her weight in on the 99.6% line!! I knew she was a chunk! I asked them to measure her, as they dont routinely do it here till 2 years, but did do and she is on the same line for her height too. She is 72cm and 21lb 4oz now!!

    Glad to see everyone is mostly doing well and notice that a few people are going back/ worried about going back to work. Think im going back in April. Cant believe how quickly it has came around!

    Sure i had loads more but have already bored you all enough!!

    Becles that sounds ideal. I know once the works done I'll feel better but even sitting in the chair I normally start crying :o I got brave a few years ago, had tonnes of work done then my lovely dentist moved away and I hated the new one. Im at a different practice now and the dentist's great so hopefully I'll be ok from now on. My aunties coming with me to mind Isla (and hold my hand if im a wuss!)

    Elle I love CDWM! OH always says he'd love to go on and tell them an extravagant menu then serve pot noodles :rotfl:

    SM, just a thought, are you slimming back into your old stuff, or smaller than your old stuff? Don't go too far and have to buy a whole new wardrobe! Slimming too much is not very MSE :p

    Good to see you - I'd been wondering what had happened to you.

    Ello's just finally cut a tooth!!! a bottom one, we've been able to see about 6 for months now but she's not keen on letting you look, anyway I managed to get my finger in while she was brushing them (copying big sis, loves to brush her gums) and there's a point there woo hoo! was despairing of them ever coming through.

    Hi Angela, glad to hear Rose is coming along well, does she have toast after weetabix? El loves toast.

    All this talk of weetabix has made me realise what on earth am I going to give el for breakfast on holiday? no HM pear porridge there, will have to try her on weetabix tomorrow!
