    Enjoy the party, SS. Sounds like it will be fun.

    Glad to hear hubby got the all clear, MFD. Not sure on the baby question. I guess I consider them babies until about 2, then toddlers but not sure why I think that :cool:.
    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!

    It was fab thanks, SB. Very sunny, lots of wine was consumed and H was a very good boy. I'll see if I can find a pic of me in my finery.

    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?
    To me Alice stopped being a baby around when she was one. But one person used to really annoy me by calling her and referring to her as "Baby Alice" until she was about eighteen months as if "Baby" was part of her name. I use "Baby" as a title quite often when introducing a new baby to Alice so she knows who I'm talking about but not as a permanent title.

    My tax credits award arrived this morning for those who renewed around the same time as me. Just in a brown envelope this time. Although, I don't think it means much it says provisional (or something like that) so it may get messed with at the emergency budget.
    The current year's tax credit award is always provisional until you've submitted the actual income figures for the year which won't be until after the end of the year. (Not saying they won't change with the budget but they always say provisional.)

    All three of mine are still my walking, talking, stropping, getting his/her own way babbas! (And always will be). :o

    In other peoples eyes, I think you're a baby til 2.

    SJ, if your about. Do you know how to make white buttercream?

    Normal buttercream is 1 pack butter (250g) to 500g icing sugar with a splash of milk and a tsp or 2 of vanilla extract. To make it less yellow replace half the butter with Trex or some other white vegetable fat. That's also good to use if you want to colour it blue as otherwise it can go a bit green.

    Alfie is shouting his head off. It's so funny.

    SS hope you're having a great party
