And Robbie!

Night Jillie. X

Yes and Robbie. Waiting for Gary to appear, and see if they get all "broke back mountain". Then off to bed. After I have today tackled mount everest of ironing and the leak that has come from out shower and three floors down to come out of the living room ceiling. Has been a truly fab day. Not!

Oh and yay for Caitlins steps :T

Oh dear WM, I've wasted a whole day sorting out DH's laptop, think he'd be grateful, not!

Lol. House is 3 stories. We have a shower in the ensuite on the top floor. the ubend under the shower had come loose . The water ran down the wall and rested under the floor of the first floor. The it finally decided to come through the ceiling and into the living room, this morning. Shower is fixed, but everywhere is wet now and musty smelling. Hope that explains it.

Yuk, we had that though but thankfully only went onto one ceiling, has to buy special paint for the ceiling to cover the stain.

I'm thinking door bouncer but not sure how much of a good idea they are with an excitable pug....

Door bouncers are good. I've got two collies and they didn't really bother Charlotte when she was in it. You could always put the dog in another room or the garden if it's a problem.

Has anyone ever come across a very swollen and red willy in their little boys or have any idea what could cause it? First noticed this afternoon and just put him to bed and is worse, its almost purple looking :eek:

Josh had infected foreskin when he was about 18 months old. That made it go all red and swollen. We got some antibiotic cream off the doctor and I had to pull his foreskin back and put the cream on. That was a tricky task! Cleared it up quickly though. I'd get it checked out just to make sure it's nothing that needs treatment.

Those of you with 2 kids (or more) of the same flavour - any suggestions for a good new baby gift?

A friend had two little girls close together, so for the second one I made up a hamper for her. It had a pack of nappies, wipes, baby toiletries and stuff in, plus a bottle of wine and some chocs for Mam and Dad. She loved it!

Also - do you think that it would be a good idea to buy the 2yo a little something for when we visit?

I would. It stops them getting jealous because baby is getting all the presents. Just something little like a book or some crayons or something.

Josh was two when James was born. When Josh saw him for the first time, I'd put a toy car next to James and said "awww look, the baby has brought you a car because he wants to be your friend". For ages afterwards Josh thought babies were born with a toy car :rotfl:

Thanks for all the lovely comments on the door hanger Not been up to much today did make an apple crumble with apples MIL gave us and did some ironing. Popped out and picked up the Aquapod from mothercare while they had £5 off so will report back if it is or isnt worth the money.

kindof - wish I could cross stitch dont for get to post a pic when you've finnished it.

MDW - good luck with your project and again pic please when its finnished.

Angelcake - poor OH x Yeay for a new baby for you to share tho x

CAFC - the base of the hanger was only 99p at hobby craft in their wood section, I would offer to make one for you but dont thinks it would survive the mail. Oh and we have been buying bits for T for ages, I got xmas sale bits last year! And can def recommend the baby entertainers, we have the leapfrog learn and groove and T adores it.

Choppy - yeay for first steps and a fabby holiday. Christmas plans coming along ok but still not decided where we'll be spending it!!

gill - wow you soon mounted up those BP points, I found the site really slow so have given up for the mo. Yeay for using the swidget I've had a couple of codes but missed that last one.

weezle - T has an amber necklace and a sophie and doesnt seem to suffer much as there always on hand. The few times she does pull at her ear and get fractious I usually offer her some carrot or cucumber sticks from the fridge and she soon calms. Other than that we havent had to use anything.

EA - we were gonna get T a smart trike for Xmas, is that what your getting? We have had to abandon that tho cos doesnt look like we'll have the space/have moved by then

OH back at work tomorrow, part of me is relieved but I will miss him He cooked a lovely roast chicken tonight. T had some of the chicken and a bit of yorkshire pud and loved it Dont think she actually ate much but she had a good ol chew/suck lol.

Thanks Chopsticks how much extra did you spend on top of the cruise costs, if you don't mind saying? Or what proportion of the total trip was covered by the up-front costs, or whatever?

BeenieCat

Kindof, just on a binning mission and wondered if you have copies of 3 Car Garage and Middle of Nowhere.

I know that's prob a stupid question but thought i'd check
