Hi thanks for asking after me i've been reading but not feeling like posting

Love the pic of K i could eat him up While we're on the subject of L&G - i have one that i recovered from my sisters back garden and the rain *rolleyes* so will scrub it up and see if it still works when Amber is ready for it, it's in the shed. Is the seat bit removeable?

oh yes! my MIL (who wasn't actually MIL then because we weren't married) didn't talk to either of us for a week when OH told her about Chris, then VERY regulary said that there was no need to have another until Chris was at school. Since announcing that we were expecting Ed it is often said that "that's it now" and things to that effect.
MIL is also seemingly apaulled that her neice is expecting a baby in June that is quite likely to have Edwards syndrome (our info is 3rd hand via elderly relative so details are sketchy but from what we gather the nuchal fold sugests it) she was quite shocked when I told her that I wouldn't have known if either of my boys had it as I refused the tests.

I'm not bothered about it but I know if we told family we weretrying for #3 there'd be comments so to keep it a nice time for us we won't tell until the 12wk scan is donethey have to be happy for us;)

Just for you then:

stop it, he's far too adorable! I just want to eat him up

Beenie, glad to see you've popped in! No worries, we all have spells where we don't feel like talking much. Hope you're okay - whatever happened with the house bidding?

all this talk of rockers and jumperoos and where to put little one's has made me think about maybe getting something for Thomas other than his bouncy chair but what would be really useful would be some kind of upside down hook thingummy to hang things off like just the arm of a mobile IYKWIM, not a complete arch as then we could use it on the car seat and cot too - do such things exist or have a I lost the plot????

am pleased with myself today as finally got round to ringing for a tax credits claim form - we were over the threshold last tax year but definitely under it this year now I am not working. Bizarrely was told we have to claim based on 09/10 to get a Nil assessment and then tell them of the change of circumstances to get 20 quid a week til Christmas which will be very handy. Never even thought we'd be entitled to anything but seems we are

fairy alert - none of Tom's 0-3 month bodysuits fit him anymore (if it weren't for the bumgenius nappies they would), I cleared out a whole load of stuff to the local BHF shop yesterday but forgot the vests? They've all been washed in eco non-bio powder and are mostly white so unisex. This fairy can be a bit rubbish at getting to the post office tho so nearer 0 than 3 months would be best!

Hi r.mac

Aless, i was 31st on the list and now bidding is over and it says i'm 40th lol so i'm guessing i won't get it. Probably a good thing seeing as it's smaller than current house (and i want a bigger one, but don't most people lol!) and it's on a busy road, i quite like that i don't have a road in front of the house so DS can play out and also the dog can have a mooch on a night when nobody is around.

Always - my sister used to have something that she stuck on the car window and then it hung over baby a bit like a mobile but with rattles and stuff - do you mean something like that?

It'll get worse when you've got your girl.

After I had Liv everyone said, "well, that's it now, no more for you, you've got one of each" :rotfl:

I'd love to have 10 just to pi55 them all off. :rotfl:

Noone ever said congratulations!!

DS1.. I was irresponsible too young ruined my life.. blahblahblah
DD1.. I was too poor DS1 was too little (bear in mind we'd been TTC for 2 years!) life was well and truly ruined now! more blahblah
DS2.. what you having another one for you've got one of each, house too small income too small.. *yawn*
DD2.. are you totally stupid? 4 children 'at your age' (I was 22)
DS3.. 5 children!!!!!!! What is wrong with you? You had 2 of each.. cue exceptionally rude comments
DD3.. Well you wouldn't be so ill if you hadn't had so many children, maybe it would be better if this one was m/c'd
DD4 you nearly died last time won't you be happy until you do and leave all these, your house is too small no money.. it gets very boring lol
DD5.. OMG You need certifying.. you almost very nearly just about died last time and was EXTREMELY lucky.. you are an idiot

#9.. I just didn't tell them.. when they asked I said I hadn't told them because a, it is none of their business and b, they have had nothing positive to say about any of the other children so why was I to assume they'd be happy this time.. it isn't like anyone other than the parents look after my brood. OH's mum is just mortified that we aren't married.. she'll just have to get used to it!

Yep, the lady I bought it from said it was but I've not tried it yet!

Funny you should notice that..... I realised after I'd arranged to go for the L&G that I still have no bank card and therefore no money. Yes, I did pay with 26 pound coins and 2 double nuggets
