    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.
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    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:

    Well done Amber!

    Molly's with her on the sitting but needs help with the eating, that is if we want her to get anything actually into herself as opposed to smeared all over.

    We keep a stock of spare dummies and live in terror of her insistence that something must be over her face to sleep - last night she wriggled so far backwards to get her head under one of the feather pillows in our bed that I woke up certain that she'd either broken her neck (lying in a backwards r shape) or suffocated. But she was entirely alive and peacefully asleep in the most awkward position I'd ever seen ... until one of our friends posted a FB photo of her son (born on the same day as Molly, along with the baby of one of our other friends - we had a bet on as to who would go first and we all had them on the same day, which was nobody's EDD). Anyway, the son had fallen asleep sitting up in his sleeping bag and fallen forwards so he was folded in half.

    Jenny - I think you should try to get OH to see the GP just for a check, suddenly getting clumsy and his feinting the other day could be a sign that somethings wrong. Probably nothing but best to be safe IMO ....

    Thanks Sami and SS, he did go to the docs after the first fall but they just said it was a virus.

    My hair is currently being chewed and is looking a right state, good job no one can see me :o
