    Evening all..

    Aless, I'm usually always lurking, just not feeling the need to chip in all the time :o:)

    [QUOTE=boogellyboo;35404013].. Phew, I was beginning to wonder if I'd offended people somehow and that's why most of the regulars weren't on last night :o How's fabulous Rhys doing?[/QUOTE]

    He's.. fabulous, thank you :D Just watched him scoff half of OH's tea, then wolf down his own and then they shared the remains (about half) of a big pot of yoghurt and half a punnet of strawberries. Hollow legs, I swear! :cool:

    dt, great news on the childminder :D Do you have birthday plans? ;)

    *hugs* for tia :( Sorry holiday was pants! Yay on talking and stairs tho :D (Btw, did you see vid of Rhys crawling? Cracked it now - boo yeah to the physio! ;))

    *hugs* and :j for Button.. well done on the job interview. Am pleased things are moving on for you, but very crappy behaviour from Idris :mad:

    How are spotty Henry and David now? Improving, I hope! :)

    Hope everyone else is okay :) xx

    This also made me actually LOL (but it is easier when hubby isn't around to ask questions ;)) - have you read the description for those shoes? 'I only wore them for 10m because one shoe is longer than the other' :rotfl::rotfl:


    I skimmed over the description tbh as i could see it wasn't very clearly written (and I don't need to buy them anyway as I already have them lol) But just went back now and laughed a lot. MIL and DH laughed actually-out-loud too ;)

    Has anyone seen the baby gate or bouncer half price? Trafford had loads but all still full price. wonder if it's worth trying again tomorrow? They had 2 different babygates

    Gill - the baby gates were half price in my local.

    Jam - Hyde had loads of gates and I got some nappies, so I may not need to go to Ashton - but I probably still will :p

    Elle, sounds just like my 2, sure they have hollow legs too:rotfl:

    Henry is fine, they werent chickenpox after all but gnat bites I think instead. William came home with spots on Monday as well but they have stayed the same size and are under the skin - more like blood spots..just a very cautious nursery I guess!!!

    I just got some cheap nappies too :j:j:j

    Our asda never reduces things, I rang earlier and they said they hadnt but I went and looked this evening and they had! I got 4 mega boxes of huggies for £5.50 each and 4 boxes of johnsons wipes for £2.50 each - I hate those wipes but at that price I'll hold my nose and get on with it :rotfl::rotfl:

    OH is day off tomorrow and I am at work, and he plans to make a fort with all the boxes...!

    It probably doesn't help, but the Asda in Peterborough has both gates at halfprice (£7.50). I bought one (I'm over here visiting) and I'm sorry that I don't have room to buy more to bring you some back!

    They didn't have any nappies in the sizes I wanted (3 and/or 4) at all, only size 6.

  • Ooh, it's turned into the nappy bargain thread!

    I just got three boxes of size 5 Pampers in Southampton. I also got some cartons of ready made SMA for when I am back at work. They were £2.50 for 12 cartons and as they'll only be used every now and then I figured it would be easier than buying a tub. I also got some Ella's Kitchen pouches for 35p each, and some Plum ones for 50p. Again, useful for when I am at work and someone else is feeding H.

    Elle- it is lovely to hear about Rhys having hollow legs. It sounds like he loves his food.

    I love all the pictures that have been posted today. We have some seriously cute babies on this thread.

    Work was fine- I had a meeting so didn't get home until nearly 7pm. It was so lovely to bath H, feed him and put him to bed and he seemed so pleased to see me. I definitely appreciated him all the more for being away from him all day. I just love him so much, and my heart melted when he looked at me and shouted Mum!

    MDW how did Katies first night in her room go???

    Apologies for late reply - late finish at work, then we were decorating fabric butterflies to go up in Katies room.

    It was very good, she wandered into us at about 7.15, just after my alarm went off.

    It was the same last night too.

    I was very weird being able to put a light on in the bedroom before going to bed.

    Awww, Henry sounds super cute! Rhys really wasn't bothered about me coming back at first (was never bothered about me going either, to be fair!) but now I get massive smiles and he comes tearing down the hallway to me :D

    Was today a KIT day? When are you back at work properly? :)
