  • OK, who's swapped my baby for one that won't go down for a nap? 3 times we've tried now... And considering she had a very early morning she should have had at least an hour by now... She just keeps crying...

    I blame Daddy being here... She always goes for a nap when it's just me... <rolleyes>
    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.

    Thanks so much for all the advice about the holiday everyone :) Looks like we're decided on a 25th June departure for a week's stay, leaving from Holyhead! x

    Probably Knockabbey in County Louth. We have enough Tesco points now to pay for it for a week :)

    Lovely. I've only ever been through Louth but an old housemate from from there and she says the whole area is gorgeous :)

    And if you have the car you're really central for everything.

    I have no idea, Krystal, but it's worth collecting them for a holiday - assuming you buy enough stuff! Followers of the Weezl Plan probably wouldn't get close.

    I've just got enough dooyoo points for a £20 voucher, only another £50 to go and I can get the stuff I wanted for Husband's gifts for next year ;) Time-consuming, this money neutral business, but I've seen a series of books I think he'd really like that I'll give him for Valentines Day (£32) and I want to replace the kitchen implement (£36) that broke and I bought the smaller one to replace it originally and that one is wrong because it lacks bells and whistles.

    I have no idea what to get hubby for christmas this year let alone next... He's very materialistic so essentially easy to buy for but this year he seems to be wanting particularly expensive things... I could afford them... But I'm a little averse to spending so much lol...

    I admire your drive to be money neutral... I can't be bothered to do most of the surveys I get sent let alone write reviews lol...

    Thanks - that's good to know :)

    Well this one is about £440 for a week, so for that we'd need £110 which is 11000 points - which we already have, having paid for our honeymoon in Jersey last year :).
