    DH was laughing at the Tronic bit :D

    Kindof & Krystal, jealous of your stuff coming already. The postie is in the area, but has been for the last 2hrs and no sign of him, just his trolley. Weird.

    I've just read the 'Awkward Subject' thread on here and it's made me :(. I honestly never gave a second thought to H sharing a bed with any of his grandparents.

    I read that and it made me feel sad. All of mine have been in bed with my Dad before and it never crossed my mind to worry. The only problem was Charlotte used to be scared of my Dad with no glasses on, so he always had to put his glasses on before she would get in for a cuddle with him :rotfl:

    Is anyone else's babba obsessed with the Argos catalogue? :o Mine cries when I take it away from him!

    Charlotte loves it and she was really excited when the Tesco man brought a Direct catalogue with a grocery order. I thought she'd look at the toys, but she looks at random things like washing machines and stuff :rotfl:

    Good luck for the test Krystal xx
    Here I go again on my own....

    You know, Susan, your first pregnancy sounds truly awful. I so admire you for doing it again.
    It was - I feel like I lost eight months of my life. But Alice was worth it.

    That's really funny because Alice used to be scared of my cousin when he had his glasses on.

    I didnt think of that? I must say though thats Erins words are very clear and she picks things up very quick. The nursery have ref him bach to speach therapy as Erins talking is so much better than Charlies? i will be watching more closely when they play to see if they do communicate and i havent noticed?

    Its quite normal for girls to be 'better' at talking than boys. But anything that helps encorouge him can't be bad can it? Think of it as a free extra ;)
    I am totally going to set up a 'Displaced PT'rs thread' on BP at 3pm!

    Oh - I know this must make me thick, but whats BP?????

    having a stinker of a day today. Was really down earlier about some things in RL, but just heard great news about BIL passing his exams so thats making things a bit brighter. Hopefully things will start looking up when hubby gets home...........................

    We took LO to comet once - well she inspected all those washing machines as though her life depended on it. :D All the buttons were pressed, the doors opened and closed and she even found some leaflets to put in them :rotfl:the sales man seemed most put out when we said we didn't need any help - we were there to buy a DVD player :rotfl:

    Awww. You are right - they are worth it aren't they. I'm so glad you aren't suffering this time around. Will that be because you are still so early on, or because you have a blue bump this time ;)
