    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • How does it print on paper Bruno?

    Is it an effect made for canvas? I was thinking the other day that the canvas might distort the image because of it's complexity.
    It may be better printed as a large photo (super large!) and framed?

    Am I making sense?

    It is gorgeous though :D

    LOL - that was why I was keeping my trap shut. I am the oddball here! (SM I didn't think you had stairs?)

    We do have a door on the living room but I have always just let him go up and down stairs and the novelty wore off after a while :o now he just uses them when he wants to go upstairs or downstairs for something. And he knows not to go up or down without me.

    Horses for courses and all that.

    thats what i think too MFD, after a few goes of pulling DVDs of the shelf he's not bothered now, but i'm sure if i had kept putting them back he'd still be doing it now. i dont make a big fuss over him 'not ' doing something in the hope the novelty would wear off.

    if i do get a stairgate, i'll get the moveable one and then when he goes to the PIL then they can use it for the day.

    oh...forgot to say. MIL has pulled a muscle in her leg and has a plaster on it. (not broken so i dont understand the plaster bit) and she's on crutches

    just as well she wasnt meant to have Kian tomorrow.

    We're getting stair gates as our stairs as so steep. They are pretty much ladders lol.

    Lily had a night time bottle today :j she usually never wants it. So its bought her total to 5 bottles and 2 meals :) hopefully she puts a decent amount of weight on :D

    Pretty sure that's the gate I've got Glam, altho mine doesn't have a blue fastening. They had 2 lindam gates at Trafford Park Asda, that one and another one but I didn't look too closely so I don't think I could tell you which it was.

    I don't think we need one at the bottom of the stairs but definitely need one at the top as it's quite a narrow landing. I've worried about falling down it myself while walking from the bedroom to the bathroom lol.

    DH has just measured and gate won't fit :( We need one that will fit a 70cm opening as it has stupid wooden posts and railings that make it narrow.

    Maybe SM lives in a maisonette? Which for many purposes is often called a flat.

    Because we have a couple of houses into one, we have two sets of stairs that meet the two sets of landings which are now obviously one, at the top. The fun the girls have *rolleyes*

    Next challenge - who has 3? (Sets of stairs, not 3onitsway ;))

    Ooo - I have never heard of a flat on 2 floors :j:j

    :o

    A plaster cast? Or one of the Thomas ones like I got in Asda the other day? ;)

    I guess we have been lucky to some extent that Benjamin has not fallen yet and I am touching wood :o


    He does like to pick his feet up and slide down as fast as he can on his belly though :D
