    I topped my phone up in November because there were extra points at Tesco. Before that it was March 2006. I've got five free texts per day for life though so mainly use them.

    I just called my parents, and everything was fine till my mother heard OH in the background, then she couldn't get off the phone quick enough. It's not like pretending he doesn't exist is going to make him go away :(
    First time OH "met" my dad he nearly got run over by him.

    Does anyone have any experience on the CSA taking money when dad is working for an agency doing lots of diff temp jobs?? Not got a lot of hope that i'll get anything but i'm getting concerned about the fact we have no cot yet, and it's just the ONE thing i wanted her to have from new, everything else is 2nd hand.
    No experience of CSA but I have been employed through agencies and they pay you through a payroll just the same as direct employers so it shouldn't make a difference.
    I went round Ikea on Wednesday, I love ikea! I had an icecream too. And played pretend in all the apartments :D
    Alice loves having little tea parties with the cups and saucers in Ikea - I sometimes take her for the fun of it, not to actually shop.

So i'm determined to get this one thing, and it'll last a few years. :mad::mad::mad:

    hi everyone

    LO threw up from crying when i was trying to get her to go off tonight :(

    MFD - i saw that sleep suit in ASDA. i love thumper. might buy that tomorrow actually if we go there.

    trying to find things to buy her for her birthday actually. i've seen so many things i like i could spend a fortune but i know she'll just be happy with the boxes as she has a thing about cardboard


    (((HUGS))) hun. How awful for you. We are struggling with going to sleep at the moment so I feel for you. Has taken me over an hour to get Benjamin off on a few nights in the last week. Tonight was 'cuddles' on mums bed until he went to sleep (read: baby pinned to bed by mummy with elephant firmly over his eyes whilst his eyes rolled around in his head and he grumbled about being cuddled so tightly!!)

    I am approaching Benjamins birthday like I did Christmas - less is more :cool: It is not like he will ever remember!!!
