Happy birthday Hammy what a cute DH helping with the letter . Are you a welsh speaker/Welsh educated? I'd love to ask you a bit more if you are cos we're thinking of sending Fergie to Welsh school. Glam has given me lots of useful interesting thoughts too

I speak Welsh a little but I am far more fluent in French than Welsh :rotfl:. I didn't go to a Welsh medium school although I would consider sending David to one if we ever moved back to Cardiff. PM me if I can help at all x

Many congrats and welcome to 32b

SS - there are 15 years between me and DH too, so even though he'll be 49/50, I'll only be 34/35 which is fine for me, I suppose it depends how he feels at the time.

How come my baby can bypass all her toys and go for the remote/phone/whatever it is she shouldn't be touching?!

kian is the same. it was mummy's mobile yesterday and the tv remote today. daddy would not be impressed it the remote got wet and wouldnt work

been out for a little walk. just a little bit of snow here. just enough to cover all the dog poo!!

Ive been spending ages looking through photos trying to organise them on the lappy. Going to get a flash drive for all the baby pics and keep it in the baby box with all his other things and keep adding to it over the years.

As most of you know we wanted a joint wedding and christening. Well the Dean had said she would do it whilst we had no Vicar here but was so busy she asked if we would mind waiting until the new Vicar started, of course we said we would wait. He came over a week ago and has said he won't do it. He feels it's dis-honest to not tell people we are getting married, but he will marry us but not with a christening as he feels they should be seperate. Then he said he doesn't agree with christenings and we shoud have a naming ceremony or dedication. I listened carefully to him and have thought it over and over. I do have my beliefs, they are not up for discussion as they are mine and personal. If I didn't have those beliefs I wouldn't be taking my baby into a church or marrying there. He is very new age and a born again Christian, him and his wife talk about God an awful lot (every conversation) and pray everywhere. Have had a prayer in my lounge by both of them, and she only came for a cuppa. Now it can be a little uncomfortable if you can't even chat about the kids without God being mentioned. They have extremely strong beliefs and want to tell everyone which is fine but is it fair that try and put them onto others? I really want Maddy christened, it surely is my choice. The other 5 are, how can I possibly make different choices for her. As for the wedding, again it is his opinion that he is putting onto us, if he doesn't want us to surprise then that's fine but why not together?

gorgeous picture CSH.

I'm trying to get Katie to have a rest and not doing very well, plus she keeps trying to raid the fridge.

tara personally id ask for another vicar to do it or go to another church if possible as i dont believe this vicar has your best interests at heart it looks rather then it is he is looking at what he believe .. i dont believe in it but my nans local church was open to everyone beliefs or none .. i would have a talk again and say how you feel and put your points across x

Then perhaps he shouldn't be a vicar?

Is there any way the Dean could step in, or is there another church?

I'm sorry, how irritating for the vicar to impose his own beliefs on you.

I was going to suggest asking the Dean to do it instead. Like you say, it's your choice and your beliefs.
