Thank you

How big is H's?

Kezzies is about the size of a 50p and grows quickly. I'm not too fussed at that size, but if it'll be as big as his whole torso, DH is concerned he might be embarrassed of it at school swimming lessons and the like...

About the same now, about 50p size, but it's made up of a few bits. My hubby has one above his top lip, I don't even notice it now.

Garden furniture stained!

Weezl, my neice had a very large one on her arm, now she's nearly 14 it's almost gone, was very bumpy for quite some time. Hope you're ok? X

Nappy offer now showing so gonna try, won't let me order more than 5 packs though.

SS, I cautiously assume that's probably good news? Straightforward problem straightforward solution?

Hi lovely Weezl I want magnetic spice-holders now.

Thanks to adorable picture-posters

I hope the meet is going swimmingly for the team!

Somehow, I have been attacked by a small horde of minor financial issues or decisions, all at once. I need to decide or action:

* pension scheme going to salary sacrifice (small cash gain, loss of flexibility) - accept or opt out
* company healthcare scheme - opt out, single or family cover (gain a grand a year, £600 a year, or nothing)
* mobile phone contract expired and is suddenly very expensive - renew and haggle, change provider, or go PAYG (move quickly to stop paying £33/month - given I have a work Blackberry I really don't need a lot of power in my personal option)
* car hire for next week - need to sort today (Avis slightly cheaper but further to go to pick up, Passat more space than a Focus but 60 quid more for the week)
* Virgin package expiring next month (paying for a phone line I don't want, getting lots of TV but not a lot of use, don't want the hassle of switching to BT, need to reduce the monthly payments though)
* buy a new mouse somewhere today (E broke OH's yesterday)
* cancel my stupid dial-up internet account that I never use except for the email address (had the address 15 years, hate to dump it, but stupid to keep paying)
* sort out moving ISA money around into best buy accounts and such...

I am tired just writing my checklist let alone doing any actual work!

Eek Bruno, I wouldn't know where to start!

has anyone tried having the little ikea spice holders that stick to a magnetic board/strip on your kitchen wall?

has anyone's little one had a haemangioma (strawberry mark) and did anyone have any treatment to stop it growing, like a cauterisation?

Thanks for any thoughts

Weezl - my friends LO had one of these which was quite raised up on the top of her head it seemed to grow until she was a couple of years old then started to shrink - by the time she was 7 it was gone. Her mum had the option to treat it but they decided not to bother as it was covered with her hair anyway x

Can't stop as off to waterbabies but had to say-

Get well Mr SS

Love the swimming sling. Will look at shipping costs but the price seems quite reasonable.

Reasons for loving Antilop- price (£10), easy to clean, H sits up really well in it compared to the more padded ones, it looks cool in my Ikea kitchen, can be used with a tray or pushed up to the dining table, need I go on?!

Catch up properly later x x

*Bossy Weezl puts in bold what she thinks bruno should do!*

And now you've disagreed with me, you know what you actually want to do, right?

Bruno if i were you i would save the £60 and get the focus, your petrol/diesel will then be paid for with the saving. i managed a 5 day holiday with kids and OH and luggage etc in a mazda 323 which would be around the size of the focus. Unless you are planning on some major buying and larger items???

Just off the phone to OCT, she is reccomending the blanket for Charlie and is giving me a loan of one until his arrives. They cannot fund or supply though?? I am also getting 'chewlery' i remember someone on here discussing it? this will be funded. She will come out on tuesday to discuss further things and talk me over the next steps

SS thats not good about your OH hope he gets well soon! keep usup to date please and fairies will be flying your way tomorrow x

Weezl Abi has a funny birthmark on her back which is quite large and mottled, it goes bright red when she is ill or too hot! I was told we could look into treatment as she got older but as its not in a prominant place im not worried and dont think she will ever be bothered about it. Do you see Kesters mark as a problem and have you noticed that its increased? how about tracing over it and checking the size every few months and that way you will have a record of change?
