    Just get a paddling pool. Then you can use it as a pp in summer too...

    ...and if Rhys is anything like Benjamin the balls won't stay in the pool for long!!

    *is so glad that Benjamin gets to mess up someone elses house with his balls*

    oh SJ please save him the bother, I looked your one up and it's 6 kilos so I've allowed half a kilo for some sorta packaging how does that sound?:) I think Parcelforce 48 will do it for £16. I think I've found a liner supplier which can be here in time too :)

    Ok lovely, thanks for that. Glad you can get a liner too.

    Is it easier for you to arrange the collection rather than me arrange it then you send me the money? £16 seems quite reasonable. I can be in any time too.

    Phew. I just have no idea what would be "normal" as I have no memory of my mum ever saying it.
    Aww :( at not remembering if your mum said she loves you :(
    My Mum doesn't ever remember being hugged by her parents :( Her domino glueing point is showing love, I was hugged to death growing up and Christopher & Edgar are too :D I think as long as you are saying/doing it genuinely (which I'm sure you are!) it never losing meaning.

    I get all fuzzy inside now that Chris has grasped what it is to love and comes up randomly to hug me and tell me he loves me :A
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Do any of the Supermarkets sell clothes that you can order to be delivered with your shopping?

    Benjamin really needs some new vests :o but I don't have time to go shopping - his 9-12 month ones look like scoop neck because they are stretched so tight. Full on baby camel toe!!


    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I was thinking that about Ethans 0-3 vests this morning,that they look scoop necked vests!
    love my little man he is amazing :j
