I look through the list of recently reviewed things GISI and either review something from there or it helps remind me of something.

My mother has just liked "if you don't like dogs I don't like you" on FB. I wonder if she's done it to swipe at us or if she's just that clueless?

:rotfl:People who 'like' things like that crack me up.

I'm nearly up to my first redeem on BP:T.

It peeves me massively that people use Facebook to be so damned passive aggressive.

Gods, but these neverending inane posts are melting my brain.

Som - that's fantastic. I "liked" it on FB a little while ago, but hadn't seen it on here until just now.

How are your Xmas plans coming along?

Kindof - can we see a pic of the finished stocking? I used to do a lot of cross stitch but haven't done any for years. I'm not even sure where my threads and fabric are anymore. Probably in a box in the loft!

Yeah def, i love showing people my stuff lol, I need to get my !!! in gear and get stitching some more so it will be complete in time, i really want it ready for his first Christmas then we can use it for him forever. I love cross stitching so much, but obv don't have loads of time for it lol

Cafc I promise I'll go to post office on Tuesday

As for Christmas presents for e we are getting him a wooden swing for the garden, he loves swings, and u can change the seat on it so it will last him till he's 12, our hv was against walkers, she said loads of kids end up in a and e with them and when they learn to walk in them they walk on tip toes and then have to learn how to walk flat if that makes sense

I want to get him this trike thing,, it's like a thing that you push him on then it changes into a trike,, then a scooter etc, ,i think it looks cool lol

AFternoon all. I've read back, but it has all gone in one ear and out the other. I know Congratulations are due to Angelcake though
And hoorah for walking and cruises

We've had a fab day - swimming and then the surestart centre had a family fun day, with a kids magician, and bouncy castle, a falconry display, police cars with sniffer dogs, and lots of balls and stuff. Plus it was next to the park, so we played there too. I think we will be in for an early night tonight! And we've been over to my parents this afternoon after naptime, so Izzy ended up having her tea there, which saved me a job

Anyway, need to get the washing hung out, back later I expect!

Hey lady. You've been missed!! How are you? I've seen on FB that you've been busy with all sorts of adventures.

I'm good thanks. Had a brilliant summer holidays with trips out with my brood. Looking forward to the October week now

Becles - thanks for that info. From what age would you typically put a little ones name down for a school?

It depends on your area. Our primary is never over subscribed so they don't have a list. We just have to apply to the LEA in the autumn term before they start school.

You're best off asking the schools you are interested in, just in case there is a list. Charlotte was on the nursery list from her second birthday, as the other school doesn't have a nursery, so the nursery year is always over-subscribed.

I think we're going to get Caitlin a buggy for Christmas (for a doll, not for her), plus some art and craft stuff. She gets so much from other people. Has anyone got suggestions on the buggy or is cheap and cheerful the best?

We got a cheap one from Early Learning Centre for Charlotte. It's been well used and it's still in good condition. She's currently out in the street pushing it up and down because her baby needed some fresh air :rotfl:

Thanks Becles (I'm guessing there's a lot of secret Rebecca's out there!)

I talk to her a lot when we're out and about too. I must look like a lunatic, but that's how kids learn isn't it? Still waiting for my books that everyone else has received *sob*

Yes I'm another Rebecca You look more of a lunatic when you talk to them and they are not there, or you rock an empty trolley backwards and forwards in the supermarket

Hope you are ok Mel. Try and rest a bit this evening if you can xx

Had a busy afternoon. Cut back all the shrubs, honeysuckle and clematis down one of the back garden fences, mowed both lawns, then dug out the summer bedding and replaced it with pansies.

The garden wheelie bin was getting a bit full, so to squash it down, I picked Charlotte up and bounced her up and down in the bin. She thought it was hilarious and keeps asking to play in the bin :rotfl:

Just for you Bruno.

Very nice what's that topping?

Choppy, very impressed with your cruise OH is keen on one but we both believe(d) it would be impractical/bad with an active toddler. Sounds like your experience contradicts that - would love to hear more, and/or which cruise line it was with, we can go away and net research a bit more?
