    Sami, dh often accuses me of going on a secret alternative site called Money Squandering Experts!!!

    We don't do anything for valentines either. I don't mind except we don't do anything any time of the year...and as last night showed, we may as well never botheri anyway!!

    Genuine confused question.. When Rhys is standing on the floor, holding himself up but we're holding him under the arms or round the waist for balance, he steps forward (up to about ten steps as that's as far away as I can comfortably hold him from me!). He won't do it if we hold his arms though, likes to stretch them out while he lifts his feet. Is that still an newborn reflex hanging about or a new skill he's come up with? *confused*
    Alice could walk holding hands when she was Rhys's age. It was really funny at first because she couldn't steer very well - the first time she ended up with her feet ander the tall boy.

    Clearly your list is too short then. :p Even if I had a whole month with nothing else to do I couldn't finish mine.

    how on earth do u remember the day and date etc!????? am i just completely un-sentimental!? :o I remember i did mine for Christopher on a sunday, but thats bcos robbie was out hunting and i had to phone him in a panic!
    I could work mine out if I wanted because we were on holiday but I don't remember it. I was more relieved than anything at the time as I'd been ill for two weeks already so was starting to worry that there was something wrong with me.

    We celebrate our engagement anniversary instead. (Which is on the 8th because OH couldn't wait another six days.)

    We generally celebrate with a meal out, or a takeaway, although OH is working this year. It's just nice to have an evening focussing on each other rather than the TV or 'net! We're the same on all sorts of anniversaries too. This year will be ten years since we met, and we're having a night in a spa hotel for that!

    A spa night?! I got flowers & chocolates for our ten year anniversary, oh well at least I got something!

    I write a list every Sunday night of stuff I want to get done the coming week, anything not done on this week's will get transferred over. I have things I HAVE to do like Tax Car, Pay Bills etc then housework and then things that I keep putting off like filing & Shredding (these get transferred over EVERY week!)

    If I don't have a list I sit on my ariss all day doing nothing - will I come on here but that's not always productive!

    Oh does that mean you are coming? :j

    I am slapping Vaseline on them now and will put some Sudocrem on before I go to bed! It works wonders on spots you know!


    LOL - you are SO tempting me with your promises of Sudocrem slathered lips :rotfl::rotfl:


    At this moment I think I will come. Need to sit down and sort out my workload and see if I can but I am the master of my own destiny...usually ;)

    Same here, and it seems so daunting that's why I haven't really started yet! :o

    No need to feel silly - if you want to celebrate then go ahead. The first year OH and I were going out, he gave me daffodils and a homemade card and I didn't give him anything. :o

    don't worry it's all sunk in by the morning (and all over my bedcover!)

    Will be lovely to see you & Benjamin again you'll be amazed at how chunky my little monkey is now after being such a titch before! :)
    I can't believe he was only 2 weeks old!
