    pinkpig, I very much doubt it is breastfeeding which has caused your problems. I breastfed Alice until fairly recently and although I never left her to be looked after by anyone other than OH she has often been in a room with other people without either me or OH being in the same room and it's never been a problem so if people keep throwing the breastfeeding thing at you, you can just say that you have a friend who breastfed for nearly three years without it causing anything like that.

    Marzipan babies - sad to say, but http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_marzipan_babies5.htm

    cute though! :p
    I think they're totally creepy. But I've always hated dolls even when I was a child. I'm very glad the only doll Alice has been given so far is this one which is not creepy because it's a cuddly toy.

    I totally agree.. having breastfed my brood only DD1 was excessively clingy.. most research shows breastfed babies are more socially accepting and much more willing to go off and be independant.

    DD was BF until about 3.. I tandem fed her with DD4 for a year.. and I have never really had a problem.

    Some children are just that way inclined.. DD1 refused to go to her dad at all until she was about 6 months old and then it was only if she felt like it.. actually.. she is 16 next month and is still like it.. lol

    Afternoon all!

    Went into town this morning and walked for miles, so I'm sore and tired.

    My sewing machine arrived adn I had some fun, not quite rivalling primark yet but I was better than I thought I would be (I did sew a lot when I was at school, my mum had an olde singer), just need to remember how to do armholes... youtube will help :D

    Ladies, could you be awfully kind and inform me if the cost of a vehicle tax disk has reduced? I have just received my reminder and usually it costs me £66 for 6 months. This time however, it's only £49.50 or £99 for 1 year. I am ever so slightly confused. (there ye go pigpen ya big grammer polis ye!)

    How is everyone?

    Now, I know you are foreign but there is NO excuse for such a poor use of language!! Honestly woman!!!

    Is your car just old and decrepit and in a different tax banding (do they even do different ones?? lol)

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds most dolls a bit creepy, Susan. Rag dolls are generally cute though.

    SJ there's another Warrington sling meet on the 23rd June IIRC. We should organise a proper north west summer meet though, there are loads of nice parks we could have a picnic somewhere if people fancy it? (And hopefully get nice weather!)

    Are you going to that one? Is anyone else going?
    Sounds good to me, I can do either date :D

    I can do either too

    Those not-marzipan babies are strange, as are the life-size dolls!

    Cleaning all done :D
