    HUGS TIA What happend with the holiday??

    Something to make you all laugh for once even though i feel really stupid!!!!

    Was tidying up and sorting things out when the girls came through in tears, they told me the rabbit was dead and my heart sank :( i went outside to check her and she didnt move, she usually goes crazy when she sees us. Then all of a sudden she jumped up and i screamed, nearly had a heart attck as i honestly thought she was dead!!!! Kids all thought it was hilarious and the tears quickly disappeared, think it will be rabbit stew tom after that :D

    Picture crazy at the moment. Some good ones. Hope everyone has had a nice day. Too tired to type too much and Lucy had a parting gift from work. Think i'm going to flump onto the sofa until one of the girls drags me off.

    Button - can we get a discount at your shop? Good luck with the interview.
    MOTM - if the car needs taxing you may need to produce a valid insurance certificate in order to do so. Also, as Caz has mentioned, usually fully comp policies will cover you to drive another car, that does not belong to you but only 3rd party and only if the other car has valid insurance. The easiest way would be to buy the car, sort out insurance and then collect or some garages offer free 7day insurance.

    Sounds as though their is more than just one way. I shall need to look into this further as I don't want any dealership ripping me off.

    Thanks for the advice and info.

    I looked up the Chanelle interview and what came up wasn't the original but talking about it, it sounds like the main reason is she's had the same problems many face and could probably overcome with good support but she probably had the usual different MW everyday giving different advice :(
    MOTM no she hasn't settled down, she's a single mum, babydaddy is some lesser known footballer

    Really? Had to be a footballer of some sort. As long as the baby gets a decent life, that's all that matters for now, not Ms Hayes social life for once. Sometimes the strangest people become the best parents, so good luck to her.

    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Kindof, the move from naps in the rom with you to naps in the big cot is a hard one, but once you get used to it, it's fine. They seem to handle it great and it then means you get some time to yourself.

    The other one he had to go in his car seat lol for an hour

    I'm gonna have to go to asda and see if my nappies are reduced, I bet they arent lol

    I've also been an Asda tart and got nappies galore (for a cloth user :rotfl:) and plates and bowls.

    Also, Gill I got the £12.50 push chair cos OH wanted a cheap small fold one - I just used it to pop to Tesco and kept standing on the brake at the back! Not too impressed but didn't spend much so not too bothered. Will see what OH thinks.

    Erm - lovely photo's everyone - I have one to post but will do so later when C is in bed if I get chance. Can't think of anything else so hugs to all (especially Buttons) and back later when C in bed xxx

    ETA NMS Did you get your activity tables? Hope so :-) xxx

    I did - one for grandma's house, one for nieces 1st birthday and we gave the last one to some friends that have a little one but are struggling a bit money wise.

    Did you pay a visit to Ashton? Is it worth a visit? I think a visit to Hyde may be on order when OH gets home, but we're swimming at Ashton tomorrow ;)

    Lovely pictures today ladies, and Krystal thanks for the link to Miss PP - she's lovely :grinheart

    Hi!! I got some bargino nappies today too!! I popped into our local boots and they had big packs of huggies, I think 48ish in a pack for £2.25, so I got 2 packs of size 4 and 2 packs of size 5!! Also got a small pack of huggies pull ups in size 5 for £1.50. I normally miss the bargains so was really pleased when my SIL spotted these!!

    NMS Hoorah for tables :-)

    No, Eastlands and The Fort. Eastlands had more nappies and wipes left and half price pushchairs. Fort had the Johnsons boxes, highchair and less nappies. If you go to Ashton and they have baby gates half price, any chance you could let me know? Just need to measure the top of the stairs then...

    Thanks hon xxx

    Krystal, thanks for the link to Pigpens pics xxx

    WHYYYYYYYYYYYY do you people keep having toad in the hole for tea? We can't get the right sort of sausages here and I am jealous :(

    If it make syou feel any better it wasn't very good. Not entirely sure what MIL did but the yorkshire pud didn't rise, and she did beans when clearly veg is the accompaniment of choice with this meal. (And she wasn't even going to make gravy :eek:) I got hubby to do a pot of bisto though. You can't have yorkshire puds without gravy.

    Anyway, just chilling now.
