    :eek: I'd have made them take it out :rotfl:

    What is so awesome about these meatballs? There is no Ikea in Aberdeen!!

    They are fabulous.

    I do a job once a month in Ikea and the boys insist I have to buy a bag of frozen meatballs to bring home for them :D

    Been talking to my Mam this morning as Charlotte is already at the stage where she is ready for nursery as she is just desperate to learn things and likes more structured play. She's not due to go until September and with a May birthday, she'll be one of the younger ones.

    I'm an August baby, so I was one of the very youngest in the class, and my Mam was saying it's me all over again :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    Happens to me all the time Sparkle lol...
    If half the women there know the 'relationship' between you then she's going to find out anyway isn't she? Whether you give up your toddler group or not? Plus as you say if he hasn't been bothered for the last 6 yrs would he be bothered now? Might be better to see now rather than a few years down the line, presumably there are other places (surestart/playgyms/ultimately school) you are likely to bump into her/be thrown together.

    Eloise will not nap during the day when Millie is around which I find very hard to deal with, doesn't Aimee have the same affect on Caitlyn?
    2 of them know who she is and her relationship to Aimee, but she doesn't know they know me. She knows about us and roughly where I live which is how 1 of my friends found out (she was telling my friend about his family and how many grandchildren his parents have and touched upon the 1 he doesn't see, :rolleyes: my friend put 2 and 2 together...) but she doesn't know I've married or had Caitlyn... My friends have no reason to talk to her about me so if I didn't go to the group she'd not find out... Where this group is, it is more in the area where she lives than where I live so there's no reason she'd be at any of the other groups I go to either... There's only about 6 months between Aimee and her son but our paths never crossed because I didn't used to take Aimee to the toddler group at church... (I couldn't afford the £1.50 when she was a babba lol)

    Caitlyn definitely sleeps better when Aimee's not around to wake her up... But she does go down for a nap when Aimee's around... I just had to make sure Aimee was occupied with something so I could take Caitlyn upstairs to nap, otherwise she'd follow me up asking for things / playing in her room making noise...
