    Been busy today catching up on everything!

    Went to a meeting about nursery this evening. Charlotte is going to the one attached to the primary school in September. They do phased starting dates, so she'll start on 20th Sept.

    She got an afternoon session so she'll go from 12.30pm to 3.30pm. Need to think how best to arrange work and stuff around that now.

    She seems happy about it. We were in the classroom while the teacher had a chat and they had stuff out, and she was happy sitting by herself gluing and sticking things. She thinks it's fantastic that you can glue and stick every day :D

    Holiday pics on Facebook now if anyone wants a looksy.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Hello

    Just been lurking as I am on a huuge eBay shopping spree!! My eldest has had a massive growth spurt in the last couple of weeks and all his clothes are now too short, his shoe size has jumped from a 1.5(in sept) but a size 2 in his trainers to a size 4...and any clothes that are 8-9yrs or just 9yrs look ridiculous on him, I got him the new trainers yesterday, and am having to basically get him a whole new wardrobe full of clothes except maybe 3-4 items that still fit (just about)

    Had to also get both J & K new trainers too as their others were too small by a size aswell. While i've been on eBay looking for L's new clothes I have 'accidentally' bought quite a few bits in the next size up for K too:D

    Does anyone else think that boys clothes get awfully expensive as they get older...when they are little it is easier to get away with cheaper clothes but once they get to a certain size the really cheap stuff looks awful on them, maybe because you see so much of it iygwim.... If anyone has seen any codes about fo online stores I would love if you could point me in the right direction;)

    Boys clothes are awful to find.. shoes in sizes 4-8 are impossible to find.. I tend to buy a lot for mine from littlewoods.. hotukdeals have loads of codes for them.. my middle boy has awfully wide feet and cannot do laces so we have a 'mare of a job getting stuff for him.. he also has tactile issues with fabrics, seams etc and then there is the colour issues.. We wear khaki, grey and black..

    DS... wears red...

    Elasti.. I have different godparents for my children.. We have lost touch with 2 of DD1's, 1 of DD3's has died, I NEVER have husband/wife combos.. if they do split the child has lost a godparent in effect. I am dreading this one.. I am seriously considering 2 baptisms.. OH's family live 100 miles away.. bit far to 'pop over' for a few hours really. I am thinking a thanksgiving service there and a baptism here.. my family is about 70 peaople.. OH's is about 17.. honestly.. I am seriously dreading baptisms, birthdays christmas.. the works.. for the next 80 years!

    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!)

    I'd been putting off going the Dr's for ages too as I kept telling myself it was post preg pain but realistically I'd had it before she came :o

    WM - I love that theory :rotfl: Naughty, naughty baby!
    oh is there?! That's a great day to meet up ;) I'll bring cake if you promise to sing to me :D

    Anyone bought/sold tesco clubcard vouchers for Merlin passes? I have one to sell but I don't know what I do, do I just send the voucher and application form to the winner? or do I have to send it off for them?:o
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
