Pricing it up I am looking at £45 for the bracelet plus up to £40 for a charm (I think I will just go for the prettiest/the one I think she will really like) which is a lot for a leaving gift. Not that I begrudge her a penny but the baby's gotta eat ya know




Tara - that makes sense - I am buying one for my assistant who very sadly leaves me next week (not by choice on either of our parts )

it will be a lovely gift

Thanks gill ive found 4 on ebay, phew lol, seems as though they are sold out everywhere, maybe they dont make them anymore, but I am going to bid on one on ebay, I think it will help if he has that at mams, will make him feel more like home (she already bought the exact same cot and mattress for her house)

the ocean wonders range is/is being discontinued, I think the precious planets range is it replacement.

can i join the foul mood club??????

if i ever doubted my decision to leave my job, i don't know.

any employment buffs about???? my contract states i am required to give 4 weeks notice. i have asked for my 14 days leave to be taken as part of my notice? can they refuse this request? i know they can't refuse to pay the holiday time, but can they refuse it to be used as part of my notice???

Yes they can refuse to let you take holiday during your notice period, it is most likely in your terms that they can refuse holidays it's a standard clause. I suppose it depend on your nature of work and relationship with them, Some places would rather you used the holiday others would rather you worked.

Does anyone know of a website or a simple way to make a gift list online a bit like when you have a wedding list but so it can be for any site? I'd like to have ongoing lists for all of us that family can take items off without me know who's bought it and so I can update it as I see things, I've been looking at that elfster but its too secret santa specific I acn't see how I could make it work.

Tia - this is gonna sound really strange but I was watching your gorgeous vid of Amber earlier and I was really shocked about how scottish you are

Of course I know that you are scottish...but I read everyone's posts in my accent so in my head you all sound like me!!

Well, except those who I have met and I know don't talk like me

Does amazon not work that way with the wishlist Sami?

Smartie, her facebook profile pic is the baby with food around its mouth, so there is photo evidence.

Im so tired, want to go to bed but DH is watching tv and i hate being on my own in the room.

We are putting Lily in her own room soon, but how do i go about it?
Do i have the baby monitors on all night? And will she be confused being in a different room?

Currently she wakes up in the night for her dummy and DH said its easier with her next to him because she crys and wakes up properly if we take ages giving it to her.
