Yay, well done Thomas :D

Caitlyn just poured water onto the sofa... Then went and fetched a bib out of the bag and came back to wipe it up...

She's now trying to climb the rat cage... Not the sharpest tool in the box there considering what happened yesterday...

Finn doesn't have any words yet - nor does he crawl! But I'm in no rush...and babies who can talk earlier get a big :T

Aless, Alex only started crawling in the last month or so at 11 months.
It has never bothered me. Keeps him as my little baby longer. :A

This is not nice . *ignores uncomfortableness above*

Anyone have experience with draughty fireplaces? Never lived with any before and now we have 3! It's barely September and freezing at night .

wm, I'm deffo in no hurry for crawling! I mean, it's cute and all but it just means trouble . He already wiggles around and inches a good few feet without crawling, so that's good enough for me. Don't want him to grow up!

You could try proping a board against them Aless... My aunt has something that looks a bit like a blackboard but it's shaped nicely and fits behind the grate but infront of the hole...

Are they functional fireplaces? Will you be able to have nice coal fires?

No idea Aless - I'm trying to remember what we did in my parents' house and I think we just didn't sit in front of it and wore jumpers

How's your new place otherwise?

We had one such fireplace in our last place and we crafted cardboard boxes into a blockage, worked sufficiently well. Was a bit lazy though.

Lol Bruno, I have visions of a cardboard box fort like the one Ross and Joey built in friends... Maybe you didn't mean quite so many boxes...

BrunoM

Well mostly they were in the depth of the fireplace/up the chimney, so the side facing the world was not that extreme it was easy and fairly effective though, and as Aless has just moved I bet she has some cardboard laying around

When my brother had a fireplace he filled it with empty wine corks... He had a lot of parties... It didn't take him long :eek:
