    Well the party didn't go according to plan after the birthday boy (tomorrow) threw up everywhere then went to bed.

    DH is now off to work and I'm left to clean up and look after 2 sick babies and a sick me. My head back and neck is agony and paracetamol isn't touching it. Just forced myself to eat a sandwich and drink some juice so hopefully that will help.

    Off to feed Amber, feed DS1, make snadwiches for DH to collect at 6pm then will dig out Christophers birthday DVD and stick that on for them.

    just a thing to consider with safety gates
    they totally lie about the gap they'll fit into! if a lindam one say it'll fit say 60-90cm gap then expect that it will NOT fit into a 62cm or less gap :cool:

    Hmm.. with that in mind.. I've just measured the doorframes and they're all 76cm. The Lindam Sure Shut safety gate says it'll fit openings of 75cm to 85cm :cool: Anyone got one up already that they wouldn't mind measuring for me? Pretty please :D

    Just cause you're watching them doesn't mean you have to buy them SM :)

    I've just cleared out a ton of stuff, sustained slight injuries from a falling stiletto heeled shoe but very pleased with myself - and it all looks so lovely and neat too!!

    What are you doing with everything you've cleared out, SS? :)

    At work, we have occasional charity collections where we have a huge box of the bags that usually come through your door and you go along, grab as many as you want, fill them up and bring them back and then the charity sends out a big van to collect them.. There's one soon so I think that's where a lot of mine is going! ;):D

    ETA: Ahh.. eBay - just seen FB ;) Don't think I cba.. :o

    It'll go on ebay next month elle, and whatever I sell will come over in the two cases we're bringing to the UK at the end of May so I can post domestic and then fill them up with food we can't get here on the way back ;)

    Whatever doesn't sell will go to charity unless it's fabulous in which case I'll either relist it or think of something. There's also some baby stuff and a pile of OH's mum's stuff he didn't realise was here.
