    It's a pretty name Bex, Caitlyn nearly had May as a middle name but she's Caitlyn Ruth... Named after my aunt actually...

    He's an absolute stunner Weezl :) Does he have more hair than his big brother?

    Afternoon Tara :)

    Ooh, cheeky question... Anyone got a tens machine they don't plan to use before Feb/March next year?

    I figured with the trouble Caitlyn gave me with my back last time, this time isn't going to be any easier and a Tens might be the way to go... But I don't want to fork out for one seeing as I don't plan to go through this ever again!


    Krystal, I do! I can bring it to Monkey Forest. it's a lloyds pharmacy one. I used it for about an hour!

    lovely to see everyone.

    Lovely pics weezl

    Somnium - love the picture. I've got one of Charlotte about that age with my glasses on!
    We've been to the car boot this morning, why is it you think you're saving money buying second hand v-tech/tomy toys then you end up spending £10 in asda for batteries?!

    A parenting essential is a battery charger and supply of rechargeable batteries ;)

    Hello Tara, Weezl, MM and mooki :)

    Sorry to hear you've had a bad day SM *hugs*

    Hope Mrs Bruno is ok xx

    Craig bought Charlotte a bubble set yesterday with different shaped wands in. I think he's had more fun playing with it by blowing bubbles at the dogs as they go crackers and snap at the bubbles :rotfl:

    I feel satisfied as I've conquered the ironing mountain.
    Here I go again on my own....

    E and I are stood outside in the car-park watching cars go through the exit barriers... He applauds and shouts "open open OPEN!" As they rise, then applauds and shouts "shut DOWN DOWN" as they close. At least 30 cars so far, no boredom signs yet.

    Hugs Bruno, keep us updated.

    Weezl, the thought of you and KOAG doing star jumps while massively pregnant has made me spit water down myself.

    I'm just on the organized Christmas website (with a Z not an S because the S one is a blatant trolling ripoff deal) and astounded at how rigid some people are. I thought I was seasonal-OCD ;)

    That is everso cute. I hope it turns out to be something easily remedied, and she feels better soon :)

    A slightly longer post this time now that my baby has settled and I have more time!

    We all stayed at my Mum's last night so DH and I could go to a party. We left at 7 and Mum & Dad bathed Thomas, gave him a bottle and put him to bed. He went to sleep at 8.20 (first time in Travel Cot) and stayed asleep until we got home at 1am...when he very kindly pooed and DH had to change him lol. He settled back down again until 5.30 when he woke for another poo (doh) and a feed...then back to sleep until 8.45!! My poor Mum was up at 7.45 thinking that she'd be able to look after T while we had a lie in! I was very proud of him and feel quite happy leaving him at Mum's in a few weeks time so we can have a proper overnighter at a wedding :) Just need to get some expressing done now lol

    Sorry, I did read back but have forgotten most of it.

  • Hi everyone, lovely to see some familiar faces returning :)
    Loving the photos Weezl and Som!
    Bruno, hope she's ok.
    SM - Sorry you're having a crap time of it...
    MFD - Hope the holiday is going well and Happy Birthday for tomorrow.

    Had an ok day today. DH is feeling rubbish with a cold, A's been hard work and I think I'm coming down with the cold too :( Mum and Dad had us over for lunch today which was lovely - my Dad's a great cook. Lovely homemade veg soup with veg from his garden, followed by some lovely wild salmon and finished off by my mum's hm blackberry crumble - yum! Not so good for the waistline though....
    Booked myself a birthday present 'from' DH - the 'Experience Beauty' package from here (http://www.warnerleisurehotels.co.uk/images/35-38509Cricket%20beauty%20brochure%202009.pdf) - facial, aromassage and mini manicure, for next weekend - can't wait!
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)
