    Ooo I wanna come to a south meet! Kinda just depends on when/where though, so definitely don't plan around me :).

    Spent most of the afternoon fiddling around with stupid Skype so my sister could video with Finn. But we did manage to light a fire, hang some pictures and finally pick up crap around the bedroom.

    DH is now convinced he wants to move to Germany...last month it was the USA! He's insane :rotfl:

    que? when did i get involved??? :rotfl:

    Got to be honest though hun, if theyre gonna be looking after him etc, you should stick to your guns with it, so that when it comes to other issues that crop up during daycare, they know its your son, your rules....

    I know this is a small "issue" as it were, but it potentially leaves the door open for them to disobey your rules on other things, like say if you dont want E eating sweets if he doesnt have dinner etc etc

    dunno just my tuppence, so please ignore if im sounding like a noob, i think im heady with adrenaline after my quinny win :rotfl:

    Yay! How much for? :D

    I know theres a girl on the less than 12wks from Fareham :)

    Also i dont drive, so would need to be reachable by train or bus :)

    Cafc, i once told my mum i didn't want Lily having loads of sweets and she said she will do it anyway. But thats what she is like.
  • I can get to Portsmouth fine, it depends who else wants to come if somewhere more inland would be more central. But soft play sounds the way to go!

  • What a palaver! My MIL is off to the Isle of Wight tomorrow so she and her partner have driven to Southampton this afternoon to stop over before they get the ferry. MIL has never driven and doesn't have a clue and her partner was ill a few years ago and is not the sharpest tool in the box. We all met for lunch and she was reeling off the roads that they need to go on in a rote type fashion 'M6, M5, M42, M40 etc etc)

    They left us at 3pm - hubby is out but just spoke to MIL and she said they were going great...still on the M5, well, just leaving the M5 to get onto the A38 near Plymouth!!! So hubby phoned me and I am google mapping to get her cross country Plymouth to Southampton - it is going to take her another 3 hours!!!

    I said this afternoon that it would be a miracle if they got there...I wasn't wrong!!!
