    I'm away to attack Keira's room. If I'm not out within 2 hours, someone phone the fire service, they'll need to bring their cherry picker to get me out!

    I'm just imagining how he'd do in the scrum to get on and off a Ryanair flight :rotfl:

    The apparently brought him to the airport in a taxi from Ormskirk, which is a fair distance. How did the taxi driver not notice that the really quite bloke was actually a corpse!

    60 MM is on now, in a house about two minutes up the road from me.

    Well been to asda, been to get Elliot weighed, he is now 11 pounds, he's gained 5 and a half ounces in 11 days, don't know if thats ok or not, but they said his weight is fine?

    Now I am looking for new home insurance, the policy we had quoted us a renewal of £34 a month and I know I can get it cheaper (I did a rough compare before Elliot was born) so we rang them and told them we didnt want the renewal

    Today's doesn't look too bad. I've told everyone if they nominate me for 60mm I DO NOT want Colin & Justin to do it. They're horrendous.

    Now I've forgotten what convention I'm meant to be using in order to ask a question - so I'll just do it in bold!

    Can anyone recommend a cup/beaker with a straw? Annabel loves sucking liquid through a straw from a littel carton (we've had a couple of instances where mummy has forgotten her cup!), but she doesn't get juice - just water normally. She drinks much more liquid than normal this way, which is great, but I'm not buying her juice all the time just to ensure she drinks lots of fluids ;) Plus it's not as healthy as water and I ahve no way of watering a carton down.
    So I'm looking for a plastic cup version. It needs to have a lid/sealed top otherwise she's liable to spill it everywhere. I've looked in all the shops I've been to recently but not seen anything suitable.

    Should I just buy a pack of plastic straws and supervise very carefully?! Please can anyone help?


    Found these:

    (hope that works)
