    I would love to come to the park with you but I simply can't afford a day off work at the moment.

    :(:(:(

    Don't tell them you're having a day off, just nip out to the shop or something.

    :(:(:(

    but Mel might come with her teenie tiny baby girl and you can have a cuddle. :D

    and Caz might come from all that way ooop north :D


    When's Sami back from her jollies?

    Internet has been off all night as DH is decorating so just catching up.

    Welcome back Tara - I am so glad you posted this as I think this is where I am going to book for end of September. It got really good reviews and the location seemed quite good. Any additional info would be useful. Was going to go HB I think. I was really excited clicking on your link to reveal the hotel I have 99% decided on!!! xxxx

    I work 40 miles from home (and 38 miles from CM) which is in turn 40 miles away from Manchester :rotfl::rotfl: that would be a long trip to the shop!

    I am gutted but I made the last meet :o

    I haven't caught up yet, but.........

    Remember a couple of weeks ago we were talking about he crazy ladies with the 'real' baby dolls - the programme is on Living now. Mum just text to tell me.

    See you soon. x

    I saw the second half of this and couldn't believe I couldn't get online to mention it to you all! I didn't see the full stories, but I felt really sorry for the 2 women (the grandmother in particular). It was just really sad that she missed her grandson so much, that she had to replicate him by getting the doll to look like him. Goodness knows what her daughter thought.
    I think it's a bit strange, but they have my sympathies as they are missing something in their lives. It's the fact they call them babies rather than dolls. They had car seats and everything!

    Well, caught up and now I am going to tidy up. I am having friends over for dinner on Saturday night so DH has finally put new paper up in the bedroom (although we will be eating in the dining room!). It looks lovely so very pleased. Can't go to bed whilst the room is everywhere though!

    Night all. x

    Still on page 682 so sorry if this is out of place but I wanted to reply to a few things before I go to bed.

    Beenie, the spoon test might be to assess whether the noise from next door is loud during normal activity or if your neighbours are being excessively loud. Therefore they have to test what the sound level is like with a normal activity first. ie. to determine whether the noise is due to your neighbours or just thin walls. Hope you get what I'm trying to say.

    Erm, I think there was something else but I've forgotten! Hugs to those that need it and I hope everyone is getting some good zzzzs.

    Jenny i know what you mean. It was just the sarcastic way she said it. Well i know where she's got the "teaspoon" thing from - i'd asked them to !!!!!! when Amber was like, a week old. They stood in the doorway saying !!!!!! we only stirred our tea (riiiiiiiiiiight!), then they told the HO this, so she believed them and she obviously thinks i'm a muppet who hears tea-stirring and kicks off!

    I don't know why i'm still up, i need to stop doing this!

    Grrrrrggg. Since we screwed up E's bedtime last Friday and let him go down 2 hours early his sleep has got and worse and worse. He is also sick, real fever yesterday and the day before and eaten very little, meaning that it's hard to be firm with him... yesterday he got up at 5am, had booby for a bit and dozed, then got up for the day at 5.40. Was similar on Sunday.
    This morning OH wouldn't BF (understandably) and shouted at me about giving in to him, but there's no way I am leaving a hysterical feverish toddler sobbing and begging for juice/raisins/booby in his cot to scream, so I spent 10 mins trying to settle him and now have given up. We sit and watch children's videos.
