    Iron condoms???? :rotfl:

    Jazzy cardi, I think firstly of Sami and then of The Inbetweeners when they are trying on the ridiculous suits for the prom and the shop owner keeps saying "Too jazzy?" :rotfl:

    I did multi-quote more people, so don't know why they haven't appeared :confused:

    MOTM - wayhey to last night ;). Good look with the move.

    Can only do 3 at a time apparently :o I think it was Susan who used to work it so she could do umpteen, but never knew how.

    ;) It was fun. Trying to be quiet was even more fun :rotfl:Only moving some things about, but we'll have to get Lucy's things in as well. We have some space, so a bit of juggling ;)

    :eek: at MOTM. (Man Over The Moon?)

    I was even brave enough to eat a chicken foot!

    An uncle's coming to visit tomorrow, then Tuesday we'll see the last of the obligation visits, Wednesday we're off to Chester for our posh overnight hotel trip, Thursday a spa for me and some touristy stuff in Chester and back here, Friday frantic getting stuff together and Saturday we fly home again :)

    Well, I suppose it could be over the moon. :cool:

    Chicken foot? :eek:

    I was going to ask when you went back home. Have a nice journey if I don't speak to you again before :cool:

    On the topic of best and worst presents....I suppose I have to say best was my ring, but can I be soppy and say everything from Lucy and the girls meant alot? :cool: Worst - anything from my relatives and family friends - Smellies that I don't use the brands of (Kangol and Umbro?) and grandad socks - i'm 36 not 76! Sort of patterned like Will Youngs jumpers :eek: I'm waiting for my tweed cap next year :rolleyes:

    Best present - anything from OH... although the breastfeeding charm for my bracelet was the one that made me cry :o

    Most unsuitable present (can't say worst/crap as they are really nice, just not "us") - goose down duvet and pillows from SIL.. duvet is a double and we have a king size bed (which I'm sure she knows because she burst into our room a few weeks back on the pretense of looking at our wardrobe), plus once we were both brave enough to talk about it, we discovered neither of us like down duvet/pillows! :cool: Not sure what to do about that one.. :o

    im sooooo freaked out right now.
    i was just about to ask if anyone knew whether (sp!?) goose feather and down or duck feather and down were better? Im looking at both types of pillows on debenhams site atm, reduced to £20! :)

    MFd I think Chris/Ed has the table you speak of :)

    I'm allergic to down duvets so that would be a bad one for me too

    I've never really understood travel speakers :confused:

  • Aw - how cute Em!! They are a fab age at the moment aren't they?

    Benjamin is learning a new trick (or 3 or 4) every day now! Hubby and I were cheering like idiots when Benjamin put a ball into his turtle thingie today (small hole, just the size of the ball) and he was looking at us like we were mad!!

    This is what the PW bought him:

    Ooo - I forgot (:o) Benjamin stood up for 4 or 5 seconds today :T:T:T I was holding Lau Lau above his head and he let go of the sofa to reach up for it. It was only me shouting hubby that made him lose concentration!!

    Yay for standing! Is he still trucking on up and down the room shouting his head off about how clever he is? ;)

    That table looks awesome, I was tight when I bought Seth's though :o I got him this one, although I only paid £17 for it :)

    I feel obliged to add that I got off lightly. My brother gave both my parents a giant Russian fur hat each. It was only my anti-fur stance that kept our three heads untainted :rotfl:

    Edit: Carla, Google tells me goose feather and down is better.

    Edit again because I've decided that I'm tired. Goodnight all :)
