    We have no locks on the bathroom for exactly the same reason... Aimee was always locking herself in and I took them off out of fear of her getting stuck in there...

    We chose a bathroom lock which is quite easy to open from the outside in case of small children locking themselves in! :o

    wow have you all seen the weather for the weekend, 20 degrees on Sunday, bright sunshineeeeee :D

    Oh yay!!! :D My new smaller clothes have arrived today so will be able to wear the shorts and skirt :o

    On the subject of periods, I didnt get mine till i was 13 but we were told about them at 8/9 before leaving primary school. My mom gave me lots of different pads etc ready for when the time came. My sister told me a lot though, she didn't care (not sure my mom knew some things she told me though!).

    Oh, Elliot finally cut a tooth at the back-it had been several months since the last one came through. He's got three more to go, these seem to be there worst taking their time to come bit at a time. He's had a bit of nappy rash (doesn't usually get it) and been clingy and crying-i hope the others hurry up now!

    I had a chat with my mom, she seems to think he will be saying more words soon. And that he's too busy lining up all his toys/cars and building towers with his bricks etc. He's constantly on the go, he starts one thing then deicdes to go and get something else aswell.

    I've got a problem with that, my DD1 hates most toothpaste, I wish I'd used adult toothpaste on her from the off because the strawberry one is no good for her big teeth :(

    Now Elliot loves the taste of toothpaste, but doesn't like me actually cleaning his teeth. I'll say 'shall we go and clean your teeth?' and he'll go to the bathroom, ill sit him on my knee and go to clean....he'll try to suck all the toothpaste off then try to escape off my lap! He doesn't cry now though, so it's getting a bit easier. My hubby really struggles to clean Elliots teeth though, i have to hold him quite firmly and tickle him, sing silly songs etc to distract him! :)

    Hi Weezl, lovely to hear from you, what a lovely pic of fergie, such a handsome boy!

    Someone mistook El for a boy in Asda this morning, (yes she has a blue coat but it has a pattern of daffodils all over it) how very dare they!

    Feely appears to have de-friended me on FB, anyone else?

    Sorry me posting again :o Have I added you on fb yet? I deleted everyone last week :( Sorry to everyone, not a good week. Feeling a bit happier this week.

    heya, just caught up after getting back from town. Am now mega-embarrassed because HR phoned less than 2 hrs after the interview to say I didn't get the role :o:o:o. I'm not really heart-broken or anything as I honestly only wanted it for more money (rather than "wanting it" if that makes sense) and glad that now I don't have to see anyone from work for a few months at which point they will hopefully have forgotten. Yeah, just a bit embarrassing but I guess this means they were only giving me a chance because it was procedure rather than really wanting me (since I only found out about it in the first place because I asked) and had already made their minds up beforehand.

    So yeah, a wasted journey & wasted effort, but c'est la vie...I'm being mentally positive in that at least I still have my current job so it's not like I was desperate or anything. Still, very :o:o:o though.

    weezl, nice to see you posting!! keely, you too. Hope you both come by more often.

    on the periods front, I didn't get mine until I was 14! But I'd had the talk a few years before and I have an older sister, so it was no surprises for me really.

    I've just been feeling majorly stressed over my nieghbours problems (still not sorted-i feel like screaming sometimes, very frustrated) and trying to get the flat on the market and sorting out our finances :( I'm not dealing with it too well, luckily Elliot is giving me lots of kisses and cuddles :o
