    Well...................................... I can't be bothered to speak to OH's lot :o
    Ah, I suppose I'm fortunate enough that most of Hubby's family can't be bothered and those that do care, he would be happy to talk to...

    I know what you mean about being ignored though, i often feel like I'm talking to myself because D is incapable of acknowledging that I have spoken whether he hears me or not...

    SJ, Mfd used to use a duvet cover folded into quarters... You can get a couple of uses out of it and it gets shoved into the washing machine when it needs a wash...

    I used plastic on the floor with Aimee and just found food ended up underneath so I needed to clean the plastic and also the floor...

    Edit: she beat me to it lol...

    Elle, I have that problem with Caitlyn, she's a diddy 2 1/2... I've bought her some little converse from eBay and some little pumps from Next that are a 3 but she seems to cope OK in them... In all honesty though I only put shoes on her if she's going to be walking outside so it doesn't really matter...
    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.

    Yeah she just told me ;) (^^^ lol)

    Thanks though. I love this thread, there's always someone (or plenty of people) that have found out what works and what doesn't to save me the hassle of finding out myself :rotfl:

    Yeah, he won't get that much use out of them, it's just more for when we're on holiday in a few weeks and will be outside/picnic-ing (well, maybe - we are going to South Wales! :cool:) a bit so I wanted him to have something with a thicker sole on than his fabric bottom pram shoes :)

    SJ- my mum suggested using a duvet cover under the highchair, but I picked up a plastic sheet in the 99p shop and use that when I remember!

    Kindof- was there a particular reason you wanted a new car seat or just fancied a change? H has just gone into his new one today and I must admit I do like only have to clip him in, not clip the seat into the car every time too.

    We're hoping to pick up on of these tomorrow

    Well I dont think E looks comfy in his (theres not good head support), plus he is 17 pound 11, and the one he has he can only be in till he is 20 pounds, and he is currently gaining about 25 oz every 4 weeks, so its not going to be long till he is too heavy for his 20lbs one?

    Yeah that's the problem I had when we went to North Wales... As it turned out she spent most of the time running round the beach / garden bare foot so I needn't have had the big last minute panic about it that I did...

    i give up i just dont know what to do or where to go from here, cant stop crying and just want to disappear.
    He is at it again, TBH i dont think he has ever stopped texting her and i went behind his back today and got all the proof i needed. Luckily i managed to hold it together at the time as a breakdown in a shop wouldnt have been much good!
    Why do i love him and how can he do this to me again, i have told him its over and there is no going back now. i feel sick and feel like somone is squeezing me. i hate him so much for hurting me like this again.
    sorry i needed to get this out and will probably delete it later so please dont quote x

    You might find it better to get one that's a Group 0 & 1 so that you can use it now for E. I think the trouble with Group 1 ones is that bubs needs to be able to sit very well unsupported.

    Congrats on winning your jumperoo, EA! We are just pondering how much longer ours will last now H prefers cruising the furniture to being in it!

    The only use our Jumperoo gets now is Rhys hanging over the edge of the sofa, turning the beads and blue animal (what is it?! cba to get up to look!) thing *roll eyes* Yet another thing on the list to go in the loft tomorrow..
