WM, DS1 is 9 so a bit older. He is loving his science toys, we got him a metal detector.

And anything with little secret bits. Table football, table pool.

Tara. He got tv/ dvd last year. And that was to upgrade to an Lcd one

MFD thanks for the suggestions. You have reminded me that he has asked for battleships. I hate monopoly, but i used to love Game of life, Is that still out? Shall look into Astrosaurs book, he has a few Horrid henry ones. Will also look into
factual books, will make a change from
the football annuals.

Mind u, i could just give him some of Alexs toys, as he seems to be enjoying playing with Alexs birthday toys much more than any of his own. Strange boy

I keep teasing DSS that he is going to get baby toys for christmas! He loves to play with them!

Does he have any meccano? That is quite good (although not with a babba around LOL)

I have an Antilop - I still use it for Caitlyn, although because it doesn't have a proper harness she can climb out! I was thinking of getting one of those booster seat things so se can sit at the table, but I don't think she'd be high enough.

hahahaha... My mate is selling her infinity pushchair...

Anyway, Toffee and cream colour, comes with carry cot, adaptors, footmuff etc. £100.

But I must not buy it....

Somnium

Jakesmummy - that was me wi the wasted journey!

SJ - thanks for the hugs x and no worries about the book.

EA - sounds Luke some budgeting and meal planning is in order, I'll be st the same place in a couple of months.

I'm another graco hater, and I don't even have one! I do have experience of them at work though.

Thanks for all the lovely coments on Ts pic, need to find a suitable frame for it now. Tried T with some cheesey pasta tonight, she enjoyed sucking all the cheese off but think she needs to be a bit older before she'll manage the pasta properly.

At work our colleagues get 2 weeks full pay for their paternity leave:)

I think Craig did too. He also had two weeks holiday booked, and they said he could have them on a floating basis, so as soon as I gave birth he was allowed four weeks off. Due to the problems I had, it was a huge help.

on good news the shrink as signed me off .. i feel so much happier now then 9months ago and ive really worked out alot of my issues x

That's brilliant news :j

Paint doesn't look too bad Beenie. See how it looks in daylight when it's dry tomorrow. Sometimes it looks really pants at night when it's wet with the light on, then you get up and like it the next day. It looks more milky coffee coloured on the picture. When you said cinnamon, I was expecting an orangy brown colour. Is that what you were expecting?

That sounds like an eventful birth Krystal. Congrats on becoming an Auntie :beer:

workingmummy - what about science kits or an electronics set? My boys loved them. You can get kitchen chemistry sets that just use household stuff like vinegar and bicarb that are easy and not too messy. Josh had a good electronics kit that was plastic boards with components on and they fastened together with press stud like fastenings. He found it easy to use.
