    Evening everyone, My nappy fold was successful, no leaks unlike the pampers:mad:
    How strange to be so happy at folding cotton, family think I'm nuts after i let out a very loud "wooohooo it worked" then proceeded to dance with Aiden round the coffee table:rotfl:

    Tara so glad bubs is doing good, sending positive vibes to DGD and DD
    DKAM glad you are settling in and moving forward,
    MFD glad hubby is back on the ward hope you get to see him soon.
    Mrs Moc...... sounds like a fun night;)

    ok what'd i miss??

    OH with you? I'm thinking Fun Forest (the one Claire linked to) actually, now we're on the subject.. Say about 11.30-12ish on the Monday, give us time to get the blood test over with and you chance to get over the bridge. Have a look at the map and see what you think. Unless there's one in Beverley too of course.. might not fancy Hull ;):p

    Gah, my neighbour came round while I was typing the above. She wanted to ask about our builder so felt rude not to invite her in. The house is a complete state! :(

    lol, thats good that she liked it because it is a bit pricey :)

    Jillie - I think the main issue with playcentres is that they're generally in the middle of an industrial estate and not near public transport but hopefully we can find one to suit everyone :)

    i've been checking on gmpte journey planner already... most are about an hour for me to get there. either 2 buses or train/bus. not warrington though that one will take me 2 hours!!

    Ooh, I must have missed that. Who is your familial claim to fame?

    Yay, so pleased for them all! Congratualtions Nanny Tara x x x

    With all this talk of swimming, I'm thinking of booking Henry in for Water Babies lessons but they are :eek: expensive. Has anyone done them with their LO and are they worth it?

    GISI, for what it's worth, I went swimming with Elijah without paying for particular lessons (just in my local 'parent and baby' time-slot - no special instructors or extra charges) and that seemed just fine to me. I'm not sure how much benefit the extra cost would bring, has anyone tried them and can comment?

    My glossy but distant claim to fame is Kiefer Sutherland, 2nd cousin once removed or something, never met.
    I am looking at Jumperoos on ebay. Any go one for their little ones? At 5 months today, how much use will Alex get out of it? Any reviews, suggestions welcome. Thank you

    Not much help, but we did a doorway-hanging bouncer instead, which he loved for a few months :)

    We have a jumperoo - she goes in it for 5-10 mins or so, but she does enjoy being in it. I got mine when they were on sale at amazon for £65. They are pricey but seem to keep a lot of their value when you re-sell.

    Thanks MM - I hadn't even thought of it like that. Even if a visitor was allowed I possibly shouldn't be going in...I feel better to have that thought in my mind.

    See - you guys just put the world in perspective :A


    LOL - have you come to start another big debate ;):D

    No I havent come to start an argument, like yesterday (hangs head in shame) I thought everyone would just say yes an inclusive group would be fab, not start everyone having a good old moan, however I'd like to think it was cathartic for us all to get it all out there! Jillie said something similar last night.

    I actually came back on to see if everyone was saying how selfish I must be to suggest you should think of yourself rather than fussing over MFSIL, lol, glad it helped anyway.
