    Gratuitous cute child photos...
    <removed>

    Caitlyn found Aimee's cup of milk on the side and was most impressed with it!! Using her ride on horse to the best of her abilities... And Caitlyn is stood on an upturned plastic box and Aimee is trying to get her to jump off...

    Yes my children are wearing matching T-shirts again today...

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

    H&M Tshirts for the win Krystal! I was just noseying through your pics on fb, Aimee is going to be a heartbreaker! Caitlyn looks like a right cheeky imp, doesn't look like she has much fear :rotfl: I imagine you'll find her diving off the sofa soon enough!

    "3 - good luck with the toddler bed, matress and bedding. I'm really hoping that we can last until christmas. I'm wanting to by-pass the toddler bed stage and go straight to a full-sized single bed. We have a drop-side cot, which having measured it againt some friends cot beds, has higher sides to it I hadn't done that on purpose but feeling smug now However, I see yours is just a cot as well, so perhaps V would be able to escape ours too! "



    Don't normally post on here, but regarding toddler beds, ds is tall for age, he is 3 but the size of 5-6 year old, we didn't see the point of a toddler bed, but he wasn't quite ready for a full size bed, we found a bed in ikea that is expandable (is that the right word) well anyway it can be a toddler bed but can be converted into a full bed. It is a good bed and sturdy. I thought this might help.

    Interesting lauhen - we have a cot that expands into a toddler bed but I didn't know you could get toddler > big beds :)

    Lovely photos Krystal!

    EA, why not put it in the bank and start a house deposit fund?

    MFD, I'd just open with "I'm interested in being considered for the position of X. I have these skills that I feel make me very suitable." Then in the next paragraph explain the agency shenanigans.

    Tesco actually... I don't pay H&M prices... Just ask Mfd ;):p

    She is a real imp, my Mum calls her dangerous Brian (for all those that remember...) and she has head bombed off the sofa on more than one occasion...

    My sister had the extendable toddler bed for my nephew because she couldn't fit a full size single in his room... It's nice and low like a toddler bed...

    I just had a look on ikea, the bed has a minimum size of 138cm and maximum of 208cm, sometimes ikea is just the place to go.

    We went to book bugs at the Edinburgh International bookfestival this morning - its what booksstart in scotland is being rebranded. It was a fun session of singing and stories but I had to take Annabel out half way through and give her a 'talking to' before returning. At least she seemed to take notice of what I said! Very embarassing at the time, but upon reflection it wasn't - more embarassing would have been not doing anything about it :D
    All children misbehave from time to time. I only find it annoying if what a child is doing is affecting other children and the parent makes no attempt to do anything about it and shows no signs of being bothered.

    I did suggest that OH pops to work and brings home his cuffs and leg restraints but he thinks that's a bit harsh. ;)
    Or putting the matress on the floor, with the cot upside-down on top like a cage. :rotfl:
    I know this is old now, but it just came up in my multi quotes and made me laugh!!

    Thats exactly what I thought - when I was interviewing I tended to read the first paragraph and skim over the rest having already decided if they might be worth getting an intervew or not, put them into a maybe pile and then fine tooth them from there.
