    It ends on Sunday Mel (or maybe Monday) It says to 1st March which is Monday.

    It was this one that made me all gooey:

    Although I did read it as Sweet Little Trumper at first :rotfl:

    Awww that trumper sleepsuit is sweet:p, I must admit I did have a wander around asda baby girls section the other day, for the first time, and I was lost! I didn't know what I liked and what I didn't like!!

    Hopefully the 25% is until Monday as that is shopping day:D L has picked out a few t-shirts from Next that he likes so I will stop by and get those too and then pick him up some everyday ones from Asda along with a new sleeping bag for K (and maybe risk buying the bambi bag too)
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
  • Cool. I'm a bit booked up next week, but free Monday 8th or Friday 12th if either of those suit you.

    Obviously Ladybird is near, as is Em, Harley, not sure who else. Anyone fancy a jaunt in Southampton?

    MFD ahh i see, i shoulda asked which agency so i could tell the CSA, i've heard they usually need a firm shove in the right direction even though he's paying tax so it shouldn't be difficult (you'd think rolleyes-2.gif)

    I [STRIKE]want[/STRIKE] need this cotbed http://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-Us/Nursery/Cots-and-Cotbeds/Kensington-Cotbed-in-Dark-Oak%280073418%29 i know i could get a cheaper one or a 2nd hand one but i'm so angry that i've not been able to get anything for Amber that i actually REALLY reeeeeeeeeally wanted, just because that waste of space hasn't contributed a penny. So i'm determined to get this one thing, and it'll last a few years. :mad::mad::mad:

    Looking at my spreadsheet though with DS's birthday coming up and various other big bills, car tax etc - can't afford the cot til May. Wonder if the crib will suffice til then?! lol...

    I don't think I've booked anything for that week yet, so will see what the working ladies say - hopefully there is a day everyone is off.

    I've been to Southampton, Winchester and a softplay centre this week. Basingstoke, clinic, NCT Ladies and another softplay centre next week. My poor leggies!

    I've no advice on the CSA but when I did that sort of job the agency was my employer so all my pay came from them IYSWIM.

    How are you feeling, lovely girl?

    Super sleepy, watching Lolita but I don't think I'll get to the end.

    Right - does that cotbed include a mattress? So is it £120 that you need or is it more?

    If we put our combined heads together we might be able to come up with a plan for you to get the money together?

    Where does the time go? :think:
  • I can do Southampton too :)

    Izzy had so much fun today she didn't want to go to bed so we gave up and played for longer in the living room. I've not even started some dinner yet so best get cooking. Something quick now I think!

    But first need to get all my freezer stuff off the balcony and get it away.
