3 - Yes there is a John Lewis IIRC it's the opposite end to Debenhams which is the end I always come in to the TC so I assume is the same as the way you come in.

yes there is a JL, you can park right near it (if you can find the right way in lol!) I think it's closest to the 2nd exit of the motorway

Last time, I parked right behind Selfridges, somehow. I came towards the TC, down a hill, passing a funny shaped building for indoor skydiving?

From the funny building, looking at the Selfridges area of the TC, which way do I want to be, left or right?

The teacher in sixth form seemed to think colours was a localised thing but maybe not. I thought that Makaton was partly based on BSL but was designed for people with speech/language difficulties rather than people who just can't hear?

it is based on BSL, hence the different signs to what my mum learnt - sorry I didn't make it very clear :doh:
The baby sign I learnt was based on the same signs my mum learnt which was confusing and led to me not carrying it on because Mr Tumble does makaton and Chris loves watching him so it was just confusing the poor boy.

Tia - did you see my post about Mr Tumble dvds?

What is with men... Why do they always get mean and shouty when you're not in the greatest of moods to start with?!

because they know they're not gonna get any so don't bother trying to be nice?!
:rotfl:can you tell I'm in a mood with OH?

I reckons there's probably about a 80/20 divide on this thread that looks down their noses and me and Buttons but i'm sure i speak for both of us when i say "meh" :cool:

Not me. Actually, I admire you so much for doing what's best for your kids under really difficult circumstances that I wish I could break through the screen and give you big cuddles.

I am going on the champix when i finish breastfeeding, cos apparently the tablets are not ok, which seems a bit of an oxymoron.

Please do a lot of research before you do, sweetie. OH was on it for three months and stopped sleeping, had hallucinations and got very depressed. It stopped him smoking but was horrible for his mental health and apparently this is not an unusual side effect.

:eek::eek::eek: There's nothing on their website? I just booked a European parcel with them :mad:

So a few hours ago we were eating dinner and there was a knock at the door. A friend and her tiny baby (14 weeks, but 8 weeks corrected) were there dropping off a few of my books. Anyway, Baby started crying and OH took her and soothed her right to sleep, put her down in our bed and told my friend and me to go out for an hour and he'd look after the babies. And we did, and he did! Apparently the little one needs a lot of soothing, but Molly was a champ except for choking on a piece of stolen naan bread. Now they've gone home, OH and Molly are asleep, and I'm just finishing my dinner before my next thing, which is following up my parcel pickup and heading bedward.

Evening all,

I've read back but can't remember much.

DH and I had an interesting chat this morning re #2!!!!

We've also discussed when Katie will be moving in her own room!!!!!

I made AK's Hidden Vegetable Pasta Sauce with Pasta for tea tonight and Katie virtually inhaled and asked for more!!!!

Weetabix - It took ages for Katie to like them, I also recommend mixing it with fromage frais/yoghurt or fruit purees. I used to warm it for 20 seconds on full power.

OH's manager went a bit mental on some quit smoking drug too, not sure what they were but it sounds like those!

I'm not at all jealous of your wonderfully paternal hubby! :whistle:
