    Thats good to know, DH has informed me that he thinks Lily needs more clothes in 6-9m :D

    She is currently dancing. Well its more like getting into crawling position and rocking, but she only does it to music and Waybuloo is on :)

    I am peed off with my mother and mil, every time they look after E for the night, the next day they never out him in the clothes ive taken round for him!!, my mother always puts him in a babygro (I take two in case of accidents) and mil always puts him in this velour tracksuit she got him

    Why can't they just dress him in what I want brrr rant over

  • BTW, if anyone is going to use 1 of Gill's coupons - they take 40% off sale prices too :j
    The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents ;):o:D
  • Gill- I'm not sure if I said yesterday but my vouchers came too so thank you so, so much! I can't wait to go shopping with it tomorrow, without my little man in tow. I hope everything is okay with your friend.


    Em- I'm really sorry for your stepbrother and family. That sounds really like a really bizarre course of action that they took, but I really hope that the LO is okay x x
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    Hugs kindof - how did E sleep last night?

  • Sorry Em, I meant to say I hope the LO is ok. *good luck vibes*

    Beenie - how are you feeling now?

  • Kindof, Grannys like to do their own things sometimes. My mum always fills the changing bag with so many changes of clothes that I end up running out of things to put her in before I realise where they all are. I still normally take out a change of clothes just in case, but 3 seems a bit excessive!

    Mind you, if that is all we have to moan about we are probably quite lucky ;)

    Kindof, you could bring him home in the tracksuit and then destroy it "in the wash" ;)

    Lily is ill to, she's been coughing, sneezing and snotting all day. She has also had 3 naps, which is so unlike her and is crying for no reason.

    Hopefully she sleeps tonight, she didn't sleep much last night.

    Kindof, my MIL just keeps the dirty clothes at her house and never returns them until we ask. Just ignore it or make a point of changing him before you leave! LOL!

    SS, it's that pale silver blue colour, not my taste but a nice car to drive. Actually if MSE is blue coloured to you, its that shade of blue. This one
  • EA I like your thinking. Only an hour now ;) How have you got on, did you go out for a walk or anything? If we weren't so exhausted here I would have offered to come down and keep you company!
