    Are you wishing a hanging-type injury on my mother :eek: I hope not or I will have to set you on fire and use you as a shoe :rotfl::rotfl:

    Even before my baby weight, I would have done no good to your sore back being a big heavy lopsided flaming shoe :rotfl:

    They have more sedate gift experiences, although I do love jigsaws.

    I only got one Christmas present from OH, and I ordered and paid for them myself. His credit card has a weird thing where things ordered on it can only be delivered to the billing address, and so all the orders were cancelled and the presents never materialised :o The same thing happened last year ... but it's ok because he shows his appreciation in other ways. If I felt taken for granted and he didn't make a fuss of me ... shoe time, and I'd tear him in two so I had a pair.

    We have a foam mat too Jillie, but they're not great on our floor so we found a set of four in the reduced section of Ikea, they're green with a roads and grass design on them.

    Sorry to hear that Sami :(

    Helen we weaned just after six months - well, I say weaned, she gets two meals of mashed food or a jar every day and the same amount of milk.

    Tara - I'm not a fan TBH, but more because I think that they can be used as a dumping ground for kids.
    Walkers - we didn't have one for Izzy, but I agree with Tara. All things in moderation and all that. I much prefer the push along walkers though.

    But I wasn't here to comment, think you've gone a bit mental!!! :rotfl:
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Apparently I am hard to buy for *shrugs shoulders* I don't think so. But I agree, I would much rather that hubby appreciated me every day for the small things than once a year because it was a particular day (memories of valentines day anyone!!!)

    Last year hubby gave me cash and took me shopping (well he came to the shopping centre and entertained the kids for the afternoon) it was ace (even though I knew we couldn't really afford it!).



    Ah well - just about to go back into my web-conference. See you all later. xxx

    As is 30... Just ask Aimee... ;)

    I have 2 men ripping out my old bathroom and fitting me a new one.... I've been to my friends for a wee... But I really really really need the loo... Not a wee... Can't go to my friends for that! Doubt they'll be done before I have to go on the school run too...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Sami, sorry to hear about your friends lo xx

    SS, it's 4 that clip together we have too, seems to 'stick' to the floor a bit better like that. But you can get that rubbery stuff for under rugs and stick that too them too (or let them get scuffed up or use washing up liquid to wash them in the shower that makes them stick a bit more).

    I want a rug because my wee feet get cold at night because I hate slippers or shoes. If the pavements were clean, I'd walk outside in my socks.

    Off to clean I suppose...
