    Csh - that's an option, thanks - and it'd probably be like staying in a hotel compared to my shithole :rotfl:

    Keely my DS was slow at talking. Well more so than others cos his pronunciations of some words were still bad by 4 or 5ish and i had to nag the docs to refer us for speech therapy cos nursery had mentioned it. It was lots of 'sch' sounds (like a german hehe). Speech therapist said she didn't see a problem as he could make all the right noises, but not always at the right times.

    Also, i was nosing through some old parent club threads last night - did you have problems with your neighbours too? It all sorted now?

    Hi, yes i did and still do have on going problems with my neighbours. I'm hoping it will come to an end soon (we've had to record sound and images ourselves, as the EH wouldn't give us any equipment, not ideal but we've got some good footage so far).
    Just have to share this photo that Dave took of me at the black country museum... See where my hair is growing back after it all fell out?! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/photo.php?pid=3691644&id=515299811

    Keely, nice to see you :) Do you want to go to toddlers next tuesday?

    And for all those with talking babies I say :p

    Caitlyn hasn't progressed anything past dadadada yet... Nor does she clap, and she only just started cuddling... Did I mention she stands alone for whole minutes at a time though?

    I wish I could, my dad needs me to go over and let the British gas men in to sort his boiler out (and ill have to round up the 3 cats first and keep elliot near by lol). He may need a new boiler though :( hope not just yet.

    Thanks for the replies btw :o

    I'm back after a nap and a coffee :D Feeling much better, so is Chris by the looks of it (chasing Michael about with balloons). SOrry Elle, my doorframes are 82 so never had a problem with that gate. It fit the bedroom frames too which I think are smaller, will measure shortly.

    Elle, I've not measured my doorframe, but I have a lindham one up in the living room and I had to take one of the adjuster spinny things off one side to make it fit, but it fits fine... :)

    Never mind Keely, there's always the week after next! :) Does your Dad have british gas cover?

    Glad you're feeling better Tia :)

    Bedroom doors are 80cm. looking at it, it probably would fit your doors. Worth the risk at that price?

    We actually binned our two before I found out about Amber! Don't know if we will bother with another one.

    :rotfl: At OH's outrage... "He peed on me!" (for clarification, that's Rhys peed on OH :p). That'll be the end of the Size 3s then! :rotfl:

    Tia, thankyou :) Yeah, will get them, try one and can always return to store.

    James usually says it. They have two different prayers they say in school and he'll pick one of them.

    Meant to say with all the nappy talk, don't buy the Pampers Simply Dry ones in the orange packets. They're really rubbish. I bought a small pack after getting a half price voucher from Tesco, and I was glad when we finished them.
    Here I go again on my own....

    It's not too bad SM, if it stay's at that price it's less than £1 an item for mainly 'next' clothing.

    Bundle's of clothes really confuse me on ebay, sometime's they go really expensive for only a couple of things which aren't great makes then other time's you get fantastic stuff dirt cheap. 90% of Isla's clothes have come via ebay though!

    Snap. Same for finn - that and very generous fairies (:o). In fact, the only clothing i've bought in a shop with our own money was a £1.50 pack of vests from primark!!

    Have to get used to the new timings still...doesn't feel like 7 o'clock already. Praying our newly adjusted routine today helps finn stay asleep tonight and not backfire to worse sleep or something (my worst fear when tweaking anything).

    Can i make some sort of chocolate frosting without icing sugar, i wonder? ...

    !!!!!!- we have four packs of these in the next size. I bought them on a Boots glitch ages ago.

    Had the most amazing day today. We did the garden this morning, then went to the beach this afternoon. We took a picnic and it was just heavenly- OH and I sat and munched our healthy picnic and read the papers while H happily rolled around on the picnic blanket. Then had a wander along the seafront, fed H on a lovely quiet bench looking out at the sea.

    OH has now gone out for the evening so I have full control of the remote. Gonna catch up on some Sky+. I can't believe tomorrow is my first KIT day. It seems mental that the time has gone so fast. Looking forward to it though.

    Might go and make a SW friendly cake....not sure if I can be arsed though.
