    OMG I want a mini POANG!

    How exciting to be getting baby cuddles from such a fresh baby, SB. You'll have to come and tell us all about it to make us all broody.

    I bought a blue petite star zia in the end, even though the purple one would have been a bargain. I really wanted a properly boyish clue one for my boy and knew I wouldn't be happy with anything else. I made a best offer of £85 for a new one with raincover on eBay so I think that's still quite :money:. I hope it comes soon.

    Congratulations Aunty SB and Aunty-to-be CSH!!!! :j

    Molly and I are both now in our pretty dresses, Husband is making cookies and all the stuff is boxed and just needs throwing in a bag and we'll be READY. I'm so excited! I love parties, and this one, being in a public place, means I get all the excitement of preparation, all the fun of the party, and the cleanup involves throwing all our crap in the recycling bins and pressing leftovers on everyone :j

    There's one in Dudley ending today that I would totally have got for Caitlyn but they're in Netherton and Dave said it's too far for him to go after work... :(

    Ooh, might ask my Mum later if she fancies a trip out lol...

    ETA: Have fun SS!! :D

    ETA 2: Caitlyn just found half a potato and is currently consuming it... I don't know where she had it stashed but I think that's my cue to vaccuum when we get back from school...

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

    Going back to work been a good move?

    6 months - I bet giving birth feels like yesterday. Time flies, especially at that age.

    Yes going back always was going to be good move at the moment... if nothing else I get to take all my anger out on the guys at work!! hehehe.. only joking

    SS - have a good party
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.

    Oooh, GISI, have I 'seen' you since the wedding? How did it go? Did you have a good time?

    MFD, how were OH's test results?

    And is it Tara's OH's results today too?

    I think I must have missed a day!

    I didn't realise it was higher? Have you been out walking with it yet, it's nice and bouncy!

    Did you like my packaging? It's amazing what you can do with a bit of left over laminate flooring underlay and a couple of bin bags! :p

    Oh yes, much higher! I put them side by side and theres a good 6 inch height difference!
    Kieren was loving it! Walked round to the shop and he was bouncing all over singing!

    Packaging was great, so great in fact you may see some of it again :cool:

    eta: have fun SS!!

    Hubby got the all clear, which is a relief to say the least. Although having said that he is still very run down and not particularly well so I expect the saga to continue at some point.

    Tara's hubby's results are today, keeping my fingers crossed for him.

    I have no room for a little chair (unless Benjamin relinquishes some toys LOL) but I WANT ONE *stamps foot*

    Silly question but I will go ahead anyway :p :
    When does my baby stop being a 'baby' in other peoples eyes?

    To me he is still a babba, albeit a walking, talking, stropping, getting his own way babba - do others think of him as a baby, or a child? or a toddler?

    And more's the point why do I care?


    Sorry - work is frying my brain today!
