    *shoots MFD with catapult and gapes at Glam*

    Well I didn't just watch Maddy get to the second stair.

    And she just crawled over to the sofa, got on her knees and actually got up and stood, eeek, I'm not ready........was because the remote was there.

    Yay - go Maddy!!!


    Had to wake the baby up at 5.20 after nearly 2 hours. He is still tired and grouchy and 'crying' at everything...methinks an early bath and back to bed is in order.

    Yay Maddy!

    People never cease to amaze me, the cheeky things they ask for.

    Ooooh, I'm using my noise-reduction headphones and they look ridiculous, like they're broken so I thought they'd probably be crap - but OH has apparently been chatting away to me and I didn't hear a thing. Who'd have thunk?!

    I'm thinking of buying a Wii and Wii Fit board thingy. Are they good, and is £130 a good price for both (on eBay)?

    What's up Tara?

    Pinkpig - we're off to the in-laws tomorrow to fill the baby full of chocolate (and possibly Mummy too;) ). My nephew will be there, so it will be all good :) There may well be an egg hunt.

    I love my Wii Fit, if you're going to use it a lot then it's a great thing to have. But I don't know about the cost in the UK. Ours was €350 with Wii, Wii Fit and board, Guitar Hero plus guitars and a bunch of other games.

    mfd you slack parent :p

    I think there are some things that I would keep out of reach of the boys that I would be ok with if OH left within reach but other things I'm definitely NOT.
    He left a stanley type knife on the (under counter sized) freezer once and I went mental over it, arguably a glass could get broken and cause similar injuries, I tend to keep glasses out of reach but if OH didn't I wouldn't get angry over that, just ask him to move it
    my mum thinks it's terrible that I leave my razor on the side of the sink, Chris can get to that, he touched it once so I showed him how sharp it was by rubbing it on a shampoo bottle, he's not ever touched it since so *shrug*

    Ed was just super cute, he woke up from sleeping across my lap (post feed) so I sat him up but he obviously wasn't ready to get up and flopped over and rooted about with his head trying to find something, anything soft to lay his head on.

    Tara, I'm having lots of issues, not as bad as yours but I'm wondering if it's the java update I did yesterday, have you updated that? I use FF not IE
