    boo, AHA I see the BIN ones now! They were buried amongst the adult fancy dress - you might want to add baby to the title somehow? Or maybe I'm just a thicky :p.

    My parents have arrived, bringing with them two TT England bibs, two TT England dummies and one England sippy cup :rotfl:

    The bibs are going straight to my friend with twins and I'll store the dummies for emergencies. The sippy cup we'll probably use.

    I got some free tickets to bingo on Monday evening as its my b'day soon, so me and a few friends went and I won £1172.60! I cried! So I've treated myself to the latest version of a digital camera I've wanted for ages

    And then I'm either going to send the rest to bank of mum and dad to clear a little bit of what we owe or put it in a savings account til we have the whole amount we owe!

    Good on you!!!! I would have cried too!

    I will definitely stop moaning about mine now. Also, if you really can lose the weight you want, these should go down a bit. Hopefully. :o Well, mine went up when I gained weight over the past few years so the reverse should be true, right?

    Every time I ever lost weight the first place it went from was my boobs, but then that was always the last place it went on to when I gained weight. I would have preferred it the other way around!

    Jillie and extra £50 isn't bad! I'm looking forward to finding out what our new amount will be after yesterday's update call to them :)

    what i shouls say with TC is since i've gone back to work and paying nursery fees our award has increased hugely. and i am very greatful for it. nice to see that all the tax we (me and DH) have paid over the years is coming back to us.

    How's the head, MFD?

    I am feeling very smug - not only have I finished my half of the book proposal we're writing, but my lovely baby stayed asleep while I did it :j

    Furthermore, since I budgeted all my time today and tomorrow for it, I am feeling totally justified in spending the next day and a half picking at it while doing other stuff.
