    Hi all, just caught up and now nearly off to bed. Must learn to post before I start catching up!!

    I got inspired by the talk of bizziebaby tonight and have joined up. Woop!!

    Had a nice day with 2 mummy friends and their baby boys, all of similiar age to T. T has recently found his voice and is squealing with delight rather loudly, lol!! One of the babies is not loving the squeals but was getting more used to it today, bless!

    Think T over ate tonight as he bought up a load of milk and bit of food after he had had dinner and milk. Ahh his little face looked all scared, it was horrible. He was right as rain straight afterwards though so really hoping it was just overeating and not a bug. Fingers crossed!! I think I am feeling a bit gippy but hoping thats just paranoia!!

    We are off to get our pixi fotos done tomorrow, had the voucher in the bounty pack and havent been yet so thought it would be worth a go. Hope they come out good!!

    xx

    SS, did ur flight home make the nightmare or somerthing. Do elaborate! We were very trusting and the guys running the thing watched him in the stroller

    I'm so glad you both enjoyed yourselves, we drove near the place on the way to East Grinstead train station and I was hoping to see it :)

    The hotel was four miles from the nearest village, and I'd been told it was walking distance so we wouldn't need to hire a car :mad: and we spent a fortune on taxis.

    We walked out of their restaurant on Sunday night after being told it wasn't baby-friendly and there was a dress code so we hired a babysitter. We arrived to be seated next to a family party of 20 people including seven children, the best dressed of whom was in a Tshirt and pajama bottoms, and the youngest of whom was in a pushchair shrieking. The food was crap so we sent it back and it came back crap again, and the staff were so busy with the big party that they all ignored us completely.

    Then we were told there's a post office at Gatwick Airport, since I had all my ebay stuff to post and yesterday was a BH. There used to be a PO there... but I had to get yet another taxi to Horley (an hour before boarding :eek:) and leave the parcels and a bunch of cash there with the promise that they'd process them during the day. I also had to promise I'd be back tomorrow to pick up the soft bag I'd brought the parcels in in and collect my change :o. I was supposed to meet Husband at the gate since the check in guy had kept my boarding card while Husband paid the 3kg excess baggage tariff, but it turned out he'd given Husband my boarding card and kept his as baggage collateral - so Husband had to wait by departures for me, and his phone was dead so he couldn't even let me know. I was running through with a reissued boarding card and heard Molly crying, otherwise I'd have missed them.

    THEN after a nightmare at security (they unpacked everything, and our flight was due to be boarding) it turned out that our flight was delayed :mad: And Molly was a nightmare all day, completely screamy the whole time.

    There were a couple of other small hiccups but it was mostly lovely.

    Oh, and MFD, I got the Stokke travel bag and was fine, and since the thing turned up on the baggage carousel in Munich completely unscathed I'd say that's the way to bring one on a plane :)
    I knew I'd meant to reply to something earlier, stokke talk! There's one on mumsnet for £200 which I was going to buy but I'd need to arrange a courier and the lady isn't sure how old it is because she got it second hand from a friend. There's two closer to me on ebay (not 3's :) ) so 'm going to keep an eye on them. OH seems resigned to the fact I want one as he came home from work today and asked 'Did you buy that stokke?' :rotfl:

    Gym that's exciting about the move :j

    SS - welcome back lovely :)

    Thanks boo :)

    I love my Stokke.

    Maddy had baby ravioli tonight, she ate most of it but it wasn't very tasty. Won't buy it again. The baby muesli was nice though.

    Oh gym that's fab am so envious really wish we could get a new house, hope it's not too stressfull and yours sells quickly. Not buying ourselves but council have just let us know we can now bid on 2 bed properties so hope we get something soon. On the tc thing we posted ours about 3 weeks ago, haven't heard either but got a random payment of £29 today!!! I'm sure we should have had more than that so waiting to hear from them.

    EA - I love wine but as haven't drunk more than 1/2 cider in 17 months am a bit weary! The classes sound intresting and free blender :)

    managed to put Tahlie down with only a lil bit if fuss she dropped off after a few min crying. It's a bit of a milestone for us as she is usually put down to sleep in her travel cot in the living room and she goes up when we do. It feels odd her not being so close! Hope it continues this easy. Starting baby massage tomorrow and haven't bought any oil...eek. Have some sweet almond oil and olive oil already tho so hoping one of those will be ok.
