    I'm off to bed too if anyone is about.

    I've got 79 items listed on ebay (not all tonight!). Four more of V's stuff to do, but I can't keep my eyes open anymore.

    Night all.


    Weezl If you visit in the night, or first thing, as you do :D, did you see MFD ask if Fergus might want the MSE PT musical happy birthday bib before Benjamin has it? If he does, pass my fairies your details. ;)

    ETA: Not in the near future Elle. OH is in training full time until end of September, so can't book any time off until after then, when he's gone onto the job proper. :(

    I love sponge cake... Birthday cake is the best kind of cake...

    Keely, I could see it in the flesh (so to speak) if you want to do something next week?

    We'll arrange something :)

    Nighty night xx

    Just caught up so a bit late with this stuff (been really busy on here tonight!!)

    Fairy cake.
    Bread rolls.
    Buns are like GISI posted.
    Duvet (although I too remember them being called Continental Quilts).
    Doughtnuts or Ring Doughnuts to differentiate. Gravy? Weird!
    Round of sandwiches – 2 slices of bread. 1 slice is half a sandwich.
    A bap is possibly what a man might call 1 boob?!
    A buttie would only ever be a chip buttie and could be bread or a roll `n’ chips.
    A piece = A sandwich (although it only suits certain fillings in my opinion e.g. you would not have a piece and tuna salad)

    Krystal - Loola Up – Tia had a Loola which is a bit different, so I have to say that it’s not difficult to push and it goes up pavements fine in parent facing mode! It does however have small wheels which feel a bit rickety on rough terrain and it’s not the best looking pushchair around. The basket is quite small if you to put a few bags in it. But it folds brilliantly and it is really easy to manoeuvre and is really good for the money.

    Beenie – DO NOT TAKE THE A***HOLE BACK!!!! PLEASE! Anyone who could leave you to go through the pregnancy and early days of your baby is not worth taking a chance on. What a total loser. It’s unforgivable. And although Amber is too young to know any different, he is messing your precious son around as well as you. Get him out of your life for good. I am sorry if this sounds severe but I had to say it as I think you are far too good for him and just need more support. :o If you had more support from your friends/family etc. I think you would be stronger and would not consider taking him back!

    Bruno – Hope you have a nice work trip and get a good sleep on Sunday night!

    Hi Fitz, i think you're right :o I love that you tell me this, i need it. If i had a big circle of friends and family i wouldn't be giving him as much thought. I suppose i should make the most of the fact he's not here playing daddy, the fact he's 120 miles away means less confusion for everyone concerned!

    I said i've done the hard part alone (well, as in the getting everything ready for her arrival, then sleepless nights, adjusting) and he was like, it's only 9 weeks. :eek: :mad: </stabface>
