    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 :o

    :rotfl::rotfl:I'm exactly the same! Will be interesting to hear how you think I talk on Wednesday :D

    Does amazon not work that way with the wishlist Sami?
    Dunno :p I don't think it lets people say they've bought it tho (possibly only if they buy from amazon?)

  • EA we have the monitors on as soon as we go to bed, he goes to bed at 7pm and we leave his door open a crack so if he wakes up when we are downstairs we can hear him, then the monitor goes on when we go to bed

    Do you have a cot mobile? that worked wonders for us, if we take longer than normal to get to E to give him his dummy back then we give him his dummy back and put the mobile on which plays for like 10 mins

  • Argh - random strange FB conversations again!

    I am going to visit a schoolfriend (who I have kept in touch with but haven't seen for a couple of years) on 30 Oct (very excited!) and tonight got a message from the 3rd member of our 6th form trio (who I haven't really kept in touch with and haven't seen for about 12 years or more...) saying she is going to come out with us too.

    All fine, I would love to see them both, very happy. Until 3rd member asks if I have kept in touch with 2nd member - I say yes, regular contact but not seen for a few years, 3rd member goes all strange and says 'ok - see you next month'

    Now I am feeling strange. The 2 of them still live within 2 miles of each other in Matlock, I haven't lived back there since I was 18 (so 16 years ago). They don't see each other as 'friends' but now I am going to visit then they will go out together - all very strange!

    I am sure it will be fine...ramble, ramble, ramble....sorry!

    hmmm I wonder if 3rd member has tried to keep in touch with other one and other once isnt bothered....might explain why she's a bit miffed that you've kept in touch.
