    EA Seth loves the Blue Reef! We first took him when he was 3-4 months old and he was mesmerised. The CM took him a few weeks ago and he loved it then too. Wouldnt bother taking Lily yet though, unless you want to go for yourself :o it would be a waste cos she is so young!

    And now I really need to go poop but OH has emerged and is in the bl00dy bathroom for about 10 minutes, lush! Really dont wannt know what he's doing in there, either way it cant be good though!.

    Its for me but :shhh::shhh::rotfl:

    I get £2 off with my library card :D

    Knew I'd forget something!
    Glam that pic is gorgeous! Chris spotted who it was straight away and said Jack wants his Daddy ?? lol
    SM - I take it that you were sitting the kids for 'that' girl at your house? I can't believe someone would go out so late if the kids weren't at home in their beds!

    I agree Sami, I think Jenny's OH should go get himself looked at.

    We're just back from Gymboree, it was manic - 12 babies in a class which is only supposed to have 8 max. All the kids whose classes were cancelled on Monday because of the bank holiday turned up in our class instead and it was still nice but the room is far too small. And Molly's friend with the gorgeous eyes was there, we've not seen her for a few weeks and they really like patting each other's feet :A

    Then a bigger boy took Molly's maracas (maraca? one of them) from her, and she very calmly took it back and sternly tapped his foot with it :rotfl:


    And my ebay voucher turned up! So I may have just made the most :money: purchase of baby sunglasses ever: Babybanz on ebay at 2/3 RRP (£7.69 from £10.99), £1.44 p&p, and after using my voucher I paid 50p - plus I got Quidco! :money: We're going to need them, she's already scrunching up her face in the sun and they're for 0-2 so they'll do this summer and next, hopefully.

    Actually, if I was properly :money: I'd have bought them in a neutral colour, but I'm sick of people confusing her for a boy :mad:

    LOVE it, Go Molly!

    I'm trying to teach Ed to shake his finger at Chris when he snatches lol he already shakes his head if you say no, no, no

    incidentally I spotted some babybanz rip offs in Sainsbury's a few weeks ago they were about a fiver, on the sunglasses stand not with the baby stuff.

    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.

    Morning all..

    We had another early (for us!) waking followed by bottle and another lie in :) Since we got up, Rhys has had another massive portion of porridge and has then been sitting on the floor playing for almost an hour :D I even got to get dressed and get into the kitchen to make his lunch without any dramas or whinging (apart from whenever he'd knocked his blocks over and wanted them putting back together again ;)) :j

    We're off to my mum's soon. She's finally got the carpet laid on the stairs so we can go have a play, plus she's got a parcel I need to wait in for while she takes nan to a hospital appointment.

    FIL has just txt me to ask if we can afford flights to Canada next year. Will have to see what the chance of getting travel insurance for Rhys are first! :o

    Hope everyone is having a nice day xx

    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
