    Nasty, SJ, that sounds horrible.

    And :eek: at the squashed cupcakes - I had to admit I was wondering how it was done, we drove our wedding cake down the motorway with hazard lights on at about 50mph with me sitting in the back fretting over it (and then the bastage hotel dropped it!)

    :rotfl: I would so love to be able to do that. When I did my Gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition (in the French/Italian Alps), I had to ask in French where we were supposed to camp at one point. I practised in my head what I was supposed to say but it never occurred to me (or the rest of the group) that the answer would be in French too. :doh:

    Ahh i'm glad i'm not the only one to do that!!! I can pick him up without trying to desperately wriggle out of it now, i'm sure she's already forgot :o She must get it all the time though?

    I'm due my first ever smear in a few weeks. Not really phased by it all so not worried. Might get her to put a coil in while she's at it lol. Not that i'll be getting any action in the forseeable future like.

    Has anyone seen / got baby socks with non-slip things on the soles, bought from a shop (not ordered online)? Am trying to avoid delivery charges for such a small thing! :cool:

    Elle I have seen them in boots and m&s I think there might be a free del code for m&s floating round the boards too. Good news for Rhys too, :)

    Came out of the docs with three different creams for Lexi. Some for her eczema and some for her butt. Hopefully things will get better for her now.

    Just realised that we havnt booked the dogs in the kennels for next week its shut now so fingers crossed they have places for them when I ring in the morning. Also cant find the vaccination certificates so had to book them into the vets tomorrow!

    Will do Susan.

    Yeah I had a smear first of all - 32b ignore this next bit - that was the bit that hurt although I've had 2 or maybe 3 before and they never hurt :confused:

    SS I can't believe they dropped your cake :eek: (And can't believe they never apologised or paid for it - barstuards)

    Tara, if you see this, if you have anyone coming from anywhere near me to your wedding let me know, I can always send the "Christening" cupcakes with them ;-)

    Beenie tell her it was lack of sleep last night and your mind is elsewhere! i bet she gets it all the time though!

    KOAG they are massive lol! my OHwas killing himself laughing and then looked at me and said no way lol! imagine asking your neighbour to look after your rabbit they would crap it seeing that!

    I ended up with 3 wedding cakes from M&S each was 3 tiers, the first was out of date! the second was the wrong colour and the 3rd was delivered the night before so the icing was still soft! They even refunded the cost of the cake and paid for the 3rd one to be sent in a taxi to my mums lol! every cake was eventually eaten(even the OOD one)
