    Thanks for that. Hopefully it is baby-related as not too serious then. It's been doing it for a couple of weeks now so timing is about the same. What causes it?

    Your hair doesn't fall out during pregnancy, so what you're losing is nine months' worth of hair that should have fallen out :)

    How many metres of Tulle do i need for the tutu?

    I bought 2m and seem to have loads, but if it goes well and I decide to make another I'm going to buy a massive roll of the narrow tulle and go tulle-crazy :).

    Happy Birthday Jayden! XXX


    Travel cots in caravans, we put the bedside cabinet under one bed and tipped the other on its side, Ben slept in one and the cot fitted between the sideways legs of the other. X

    Hope all is ok Elasti! X

    MDW, Mr MDW and Katie were lovely, I ended up staying ages! :cool:

    Grrr, for the first time since Isla was born I've had an appointment that meant OH had to be home to mind her so I could leave. He got home nearly twenty mins late meaning I'd missed the bus and it was too late to walk so I've had to cancel :( It was only for a contact lens consultation but I'm still peeved, it's not even his fault it's his driving instructors for messing him around :mad:

    Two metres should be plenty of net, I've had a proper sort out of my fabric stash today so am a tutu making madwoman :p Watch out folksy, here I come!

    MFD - If you are a member of Boots Parenting Club you should have had some vouchers for Pampers. Last week I had a £1 off any Pampers and a £2 off The Active Fit Economy Packs which are 2 for £14 (54 packs).

    Aw Elle - go Rhys :T:T:T We get clapping at everything as well - even bedtime now! I love it when they learn some new and then do it all the time!

    I got these and had some other boots vouchers and managed to get 4x sz 4 economy packs and a tub of milk (£7.25)for £24 and 240 points :money:

    Oops I figured I best feed A as he hadn't been fed since 1pm! He seemed happy enough though

    Wow, Isla was feeding at 1pm and has had about 4 more feeds since then! My daughter is a complete boob monster who doesn't see why she should go more than 45 mins between feeds :rotfl:

    Hello lovelies! My lunch party went extremely well, my food was nomnomnom and everyone had a good time. One friend brought her little dog :eek: but aside from Husband being rather grouchy about the presence of the little dog all went well. Molly charmed and was lovely and made the other mummy with baby in tow very jealous and embarrassed that her baby is nowhere near as lovely as mine.

    I had a big adventure at the fabric shop earlier today too so now we have a couple of metres of lilac tulle to make a tutu. All the dishes are done and that's the evening's project :D

    However, some biting beastie has bitten my boobie :( I have a giant scabby bite that is so big around that it looks like an extra nipple only bigger.

    Ouch for bitten nipples :o

    Like proper dresses or tutu's? I sew but not very well, fancy dress one off wear standard's about my best but it's something I'd love to be able to do properly. All the fancy dress pics on my fb are things I made, and OH's :D

    Did you get your 50's type dress? I've seen some on ebay that I *think* may be my wedding dress.

    I'm not getting chinese for my tea now either, it's freezer surprise instead!

    EA your hair's a fab colour, what dye did you use? Lovely pic of Lily too :)

    eta - I knew I'd highlighted nomnomnom for a reason! I saw this bib on the link (I think) squishy posted earlier.

    Nice hair EA and Lily looks fab!

    Ok my hair is falling out, a lot. /the plug gets completely blocked every time I shower. I know some of you had this problem but did it start so long after having the baby?

    It was about 3-4months it started falling out, and stopped at about 8-9months. Now I have those little fine short bits at the front where it's growing back!

    We need a link to folksy, Boo :D

    My dress is still being made, Boo, the dressmaker's a student so she's in the middle of exams and going slowly :)

    It wasn't my nipple that was bitten, thank goodness, it's off to the side just where, if you were sleeping facedown and shirtless with one arm up, a nasty biting insect might see tender flesh and think nomnomnom :( It's really nasty :(

    I just finished the tutu! Molly's amusing herself quite merrily at the moment, but when I change her for bed I'll slip her in it for a photo opportunity :j

    Our bed bits still aren't here.....

    Edit: we also need a link to the potential wedding dresses :)
    Have a look at Vivian's of Holloway too.
