    Hello mummies and daddies. Hope everyone's good and babies are behaving. All this BB talk makes me really want something amazing to test. Fingers crossed for a Silver Cross high chair.

    Just thought I'd let you know that Vertbaudet are offering £10 off orders plus a free Sophie la Giraffe changing bag with orders over £20. I can't find a pic of the changing bag online, but it is tres cute, and quite unisex. Piccy of leaflet->

    If you are interested highlight > enter code 6775 at checkout<. It says for your first order, but it just let me use it on my existing account and I've had a confirmation email so I assume it's okay. Not valid on sale items, happy price items or star products. I know there are lots of Sophie fans on here so I thought I would share. I can't be arsed to post on Grabbit as there is no link and people can be meanies on there :o.

    Krystal - Thanks for the link for TBP, My True Blood books have arrived today:) Along with a set of 10 Astrosaurs books for J and the Alex Rider set of 6 for L:D

    Sold car today...finally, and have borrowed my mum's car to take J to his hospital appt in the morning (she is off to Manchester hosp with her boyf anyway, so they're going in his car) I phoned the garage about our car but unfortunately the new gearbox hasn't arrived today so not sure if we will get it back ny the weekend, which means we will need to hire one!! Dh has arranged his mate to come and help him with the fridge freezer in the morning:) I have been tidying and sorting in the kitchen ready to take down the cupboard we will need to dismantle to fit the thing in:o

    There has been another abduction attempt in the town, not far from where I live, of a young girl walking home from junior school!! That is about 6-7 just in the last few months, scary stuff.

    Just waiting for curry to be delivered and I am starving now, I was fine when I ordered it.

    Need a new bin for the kitchen our lid seems to have cracked:(

    Enjoy them Mel... I did :D

    Glad you sorted the car dilema too... :)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Aimee has moments like that too... Maybe it's an age thing? She's certainly not [STRIKE]too[/STRIKE] spoilt but sometimes, every shop you go in, all you get is "can I have one of these?" at EVERYTHING!! Drives D up the wall... I just mostly ignore it... Or tell her the answer is no, before she even asks...

    ...and she asks friends who visit if they are going to buy her a present... :whistle:

    It's a good job she is cute as a button ;)

    Mel - boo for garage. Yay for new fridge.

    Just a thought as well - try asking the garage to contribute/pay for the hire car costs, it's not your fault that the gear box hasn't arrived.

    I had a random thought whilst falling asleep for mums with new babies that aren't that happy, have you thought of this?

    Feel free to ignore it as I said it was a random thought I had.

    Henry is in his own room tonight for the first time :eek:. We woke him up last night when we went to bed, so I decided enough is enough. I'm both excited and scared.

    If she says 'it's crap MFD, buy me a better gift' then you can be embarrassed :rotfl::rotfl:

    OH has spoken to visiting friends (his godsons and their parents) and their special request is fish and chips - since they're visiting Grimsby! Sorted! :D Except now someone's mentioned F&C I've been craving them all day! :o

    We tend to only have proper F&C when we go up north as OH says they are not as good down south plus we leave the skin on when we cook it and it makes him ill :eek:

    Very interesting MDW, both boys have weird shaped heads and Henry was always a terrible sleeper when younger...
