    :j for Thomas and Gill :j

    Half my list is already done for today, so I am allowing myself an in-office break of enough time to check in and see what you lovelies are up to.

    Kerrierr I don't know about the toddler bed, but have you tried putting the keywords into Google and doing an image search? That way you can spot the one you want and follow it to the company's page.

    Mixed night for us - Molly did her usual half-wake "feed me and bring me to your bed" at midnightish and instead I gave her back the binkie and soothed her back to sleep in her crib. Which is where she stayed, sound asleep, till 5:45. But then she was starving and wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide awake and climbing all over me and chatting and clapping hands and whacking me to get me to keep my eyes open. Urgh.

    However, in better news - Germany has paid parental leave, you get 14 months total to be split between the parents however you want. We've only used 4.5 months between us and today it transpires that even though my contract is ending, if I go back into parental leave on the 30th October I can have the remaining 9.5 months (on 2/3 my normal pay) and not lose a single day of work! Which means that I can do the counselling course I want and get the basics in order to start practicing and seek accreditation later on once I have experience and further qualifications. So it's been a good day so far, even if the admin stuff is in the old part of the hospital and on the top floor with double-height staircases and no lift.

    I now have 110 minutes to get the last work-related item off my list before our weekly meeting. I can totally do that.

    ETA: Oh SS, what a good start to the day - just a shame it started at 5:45 (which was a similar time to my day too *rolleyes*)

    EM I love the pics - so cute. The first one (in the pink vest) made me laugh - he looks like a camp tarzan! :rotfl:

    Beenie :eek: and :rotfl:at your pic. That'll teach you to actually listen to DS before you agree to anything!

    Kerrierr I've spent the last day or two looking at toddler beds and haven't seen anything like you describe. Argos have some with little shelves at the head end - but they're character ones (peppa pig/thomas etc).

    Glam I hope your bum ache is better today.

    Good luck Caz's Abi - and all the other Scottish lo's going back to school. (We've got another 2/3 weeks left).

    Well done rolly Thomas.


    V & B have been overtaken by the mexican baby. :D I've posted again on mine and Mums fb pages begging for help. Not much more I can do. Hopefully the Mexicans are in bed now and we can catch up.

    V is out with MIL, J is at playscheme, so me, Mum and L are going shopping for schools shoes/bag and out for lunch. :D

    Hi Everyone, Im new here and in need of some help. Apologise if im posting this Q to the wrong place.

    I am expecting my second baby next next March and am looking to sort out my little girls bedroom before then, she will be 21 months.

    Anyway, my cousin bought this amazing tooddler bed for their little girl about a year ago off ebay then linked to a small business website. The problem is she cannot find any of the details as its been so long ago and I can't find the bed anywhere, so wondered if any of you would have any ideas?

    Description:

    Pink wooden Toddler bed with a shelving unit at the headboard (Little recesses to fit teddies etc.) think its in the shape of a dollshouse roof (if that makes sense!! lol) It also has an extended side to avoid lo's rolling out of bed.

    Has anyone saw one of these? Ive been looking everywhere but can't seem to find it....aaahhhhh.

    Thanks again

    Kerrie xxx

    Just reposting Kerrie's question so she doesn't get lost in all the posts for PP.

    Will have a little search Kerrie but I have never seen anything like it.


    Edit - OMG - look at these beds!! Don't let the kids see!!!
