    :rotfl: My mother just posted me a short-sleeved hoodie for Molly ... in size 0-3 months. I shall be passing this on, I think, but my Good Twin and Very Best Friend are pregnant and so they'll get first refusal before it's put on the Fairy Exchange.

    rmac we have straw cups from tesco, about £2 :)

    I looked but couldn't see any in my store :(

    We went to sainsbury's as had things to return anyway, but they didn't have anything along those lines either, so stopped at boots.

    I got her a flip top insulated beaker, boots brand, but made by nuby ;) I can't find a picture of it online to show you though, It's a pretty pink and purple colour. If she likes it I'll buy her a green one if I ever get to asda!!!!

    thanks for your help guys

    Do any fairies have a lead that will connect my samsung U900 to my laptop to download all my photos? My fairies will return it (with chocolate) as soon as I have used it.

    Is that also known as the soul?

    This one: http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&q=samsung+u900&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=1270525110922109595&ei=Sle7S6nFEo-rsAaisuXkCQ&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CBUQ8wIwAg#ps-sellers

    If so this fairy has a lead you can borrow :)

    Jillie - just a fyi the connection leads might be the same I dont know but I know the chargers arent :( me, mam and bro all have samsungs and mam tried to borrow my charger and it didnt fit her samsung (which annoyed me cos they used to)

    EDIT I see that you have a lead on its way to you now lol, oh well lol

    Oh dear! My Dad used to get loads of mice cos he has stone walls (rather in brick) so we had traps everywhere!

    I remember being home one night and he hadn't told me he set them and I heard snap, snap snap at 3am :eek:

    :eek::eek::eek: We have stone walls here... perhaps our dozy siamese is not quite as dozy as I originally thought and manages to scare the mice away :rotfl:

    Would you be moving anywhere near Bosherston? PIL have a holiday cottage there :)



    We took D back to the docs this morning as his eczema was getting worse. We have been given steroidal/antibiotic cream and some antihistamine medicine - he is like a new baby - no scratching or itching and shed loads of smiling, giggling and rolling around :T

    Yay for better David! :D

    We really need to get some breakdown cover and home insurance cover, but they'll have to wait until Finn's passports are paid for as I think those are our next fairly-urgent-medium-price-range purchases...
    top 2013 wins: iPad, £50 dental care, £50 sportswear, £50 Nectar GC, £300 B&Q GC; jewellery, Bumbo, 12xPringles, 2xDiesel EDT, £25 Morrisons, £50 Loch Fyne

    would like to win a holiday, please!!

    Hello,

    Katie is all better and is her normal bouncy self.

    Cheese - I'm another strange person who can only eat melted cheese. DH and Katie love cheese in any form. Apparently I've never liked cheese my mum tried all sorts to get me to eat it.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)
