    Hi all :D Bird watching was good but i was expecting it to still be warm but it was freeeeeezing!

    I dug out the Learn & Groove from the shed at the weekend and gave it a good scrub. The seat has been hand scrubbed and machine washed but looks faded after it had been sat in sis's garden for months. It works fine though and scrubbed up lovely :D

    I do love a freebie :D Trying it out:

    (Is she considered too young?? Sites say 6m+ but the label says when they can hold head up which she can) Wanna get my money's worth though ;)

    Is the microphone supposed to do anything?

    And the mothercare site says it has "2 modes, learn mode & music mode" - i don't understand? There's no switch to change modes is there?

    My BUMBO says not to use until baby is 4kg + and can hold head up, which is about 4m+. And lily was 4.4kg at birth and can hold her head up at 1m, so it sit her in it at times :p

    She looks like she's having a fab time in there! :D

    Ahh thanks makes sense now :D I think i prefer ABC's so far :rotfl:

    She's good at pressing the buttons and can't decide if she wants the piano buttons or the DJ thing hehe. Got it at lowest setting and she can reach the floor without putting weight on her legs :D I thought it'd be defunct for a good few months yet like, running out of floor space already. :eek:

    Daddy's home now.. ;)

    Hope everyone's okay :) *hugs* and yays as required, particularly for the poorly and recovering :o

    Gym, let me know if you've got any questions. Are you still trying BFing directly too - don't know if you saw my post about LatchAssist? :)

    We've had a lovely day :D Rhys has been in a great mood all day and when he's wanted a nap he's just snuggled up with me and drifted off, no fighting it or even shhh-sshhh-ing required :)

    Physio didn't show. Mum was here so we were just nattering while we waited but I decided 40 minutes was beyond "running late" and called the hospital to find she's off "for personal reasons" and she'd "obviously forgotten" to tell us about your appointment when she told us of all the others. Oh, thanks! :cool: Anyway, at least that's that put off for a while longer :p We might get to go in to see the physio at the hospital instead, they're supposed to be ringing me later in the week.

    We've got some baby stuff dismantling to do later - swing, playgym and bouncy chair. Just curious, does everyone else keep the empty boxes up in the loft too? :o I won a wooden foldable baby jail off eBay earlier (£28.79 ;)). It's close to where my sister lives so she's going to pick it up tomorrow night for me and mum's visiting her at the weekend so we'll get it on Sunday night :)

    Must straighten my hair and sort lunch and work things for tomorrow too. I've got payroll input to do - eleven months off and they expect me to remember it all and get everyone's wages right.. panic!! _pale_

    Aww, poor wee bubba :( Hopefully he'll keep something down before 9 although I have to say, when I was in for rehydration with the HG, I felt a million times better with some water in me, even tho I still couldn't drink. He'll be OK x

    Gym, I'm sorry I've nothing useful to add but it sounds like you're really in the wars so *hugs* I can't see your picture for some reason but I'm sure he's gorgeous :)

    Beenie, the microphone is a teether but it's also supposed to say, Sing it baby! and Babadoowaaaa depending on the mode, when the baby bends it towards them. Having said that, the microphone was the first of our bits to break. Lovely picture, her eyes are fabulous.

    Caz, I hope he gets better soon, it sounds really scary for you.

    We just went to the far away supermarket to see if they had big boxes of nappies (no), swim rings for babies (no), spray to kill moths (no). They *did* have milk, bread and a pizza for dinner, but it was a waste of a huge hike and an hour when we could have gone to the shop around the corner. Hmph.

    OH still not home, he's working late late late tonight.
