    The boxes are all in mls now Sami.

    I always let the kettle cool a bit before filling bottles, I had one explode in my hand! Owch!!! Plus the TT ones are stupid, they go deformed if you fill them with boiling water.
    oh thats good!
    Kindof doesn't but the powder in though so no shaking followed by scolding milk shooting through the air ;)

    ooh elle, I'm curious about the travel ins now. do let us know your findings.
    weirdly I was just thinking about holidays too. Mostly the annual ski trip and how having #3 would affect that, tbh I don't think we could afford it and that makes me :( for the kids

    Me either! I picked it up to move it about 30cms to the back of the counter and pop! The lid flew off! The lid wasn't on too tight or too loose so no idea why it went. But I won't use boiling water since.

    But then, I'm unlucky that way, I'm banned from using real glassware too. I have to use plastic beakers :o

    Sami there are various cheap options for family annual travel insurance which would work out cheaper than a single policy if you go away more than once? And then you could just add winter sports on as and when you needed it?

    The husband has gone off to get a referral for a dermatologist as he has weird little bumps on his skin. I am hoping he gets back soon, I have some work to do and Stinkeriffic makes it hard to concentrate, she keeps whapping my arm with a soggy ricecake :(

    sorry poor grammar, the insurance would be the least of my money worries surrounding the holiday. It's the paying for a seat on the plane and the £100+ lift passes and £100ish ski hire. Also IL's like to go during term time to save pennies but I'm not sure how I feel about that once Chris is at school :/ We were never allowed a holiday in term time not sure if we would have if mum didn't also work in a school.

    Ah, that makes sense. I hadn't thought of that.

    Cutie Jack awwh!

    Tried to make some cash on ebay over Easter weekend by selling 5 remaining items of summer maternity clothes. And failed miserably - all sold for 99p. :(

    And one buyer had not paid. Auction finished Monday. 99p + £2.00 p+p. Ppffft!
    Why do people not pay asap? T'is beyond me.

    I'm not happy, I have a big girl who can sit unaided and un-propped for as long as she wants and eats lunch by herself (sandwich and a banana) and drinks her milk by herself out of a cup.

    Oh and I had to take the cot bumper off last night, she keeps pulling it down over her face! The boys never did that! So now I will have to keep a torch and spare dummies to play hunt the dummy (till one night I can't be bothered and she gets to go cold turkey).

    Well, it wasnt OH with the broken toes. He says he trod on someones foot and broke two toes and ripped off 3 toenails. The jury is out as to whether I believe him or not! Really not speaking to him at all today! Wanna go out but am going shopping tomorrow, and dont have the money to go twice :o Seth's teeth situation doesnt seem any better today either, but I had a better feel today and they are all poking through the gums, two up and two down on his right, and one up and two down on his left, he already has eight! No wonder he is being such a grump if he is cutting that many!! My baby has fifteen teeth :eek:
