:rotfl::rotfl:Surely Grandma needs some NEW games for Chris to play when he is there?

My brother and I clubbed together to buy my mum a DS last year (or was it the year before?) and she broke it within a month :mad: She got it replaced FOC though

to be honest I think for all the use it gets we should probably send our Wii to grandma's. I might suggest it goes there for a trail maybe, knowing mum she'll decide to buy it off us for £50 or something :cool:

How on earth did she break the DS so quickly?! Mine was fine until a certain little boy was allowed to play with it *rolleyes* I'm sure the most expensive part of having kids is replacing and fixing things constantly!

OH hasn't even noticed the Jumperoo has gone. Going to see how long it takes.

SJ the fairies have flown today.

I keep going on argos website to see what else I can buy on the 3 for 2. I need to stop as my bank account is in melt down. I've got everything that was on Joe's list, except the Golden coin maker, because it looks rubbish. Apart from the "laptop" he has requested, he has been very good, the list for both his birthday and Christmas are not excessive. So i've added a pair of Roller blades to his birthday presents which i hope do not come with a trip to A&E.

That was the best bit - she said 'It just broke' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It was one of the arms, it was still working, apparently it is a common fault which is why she got it replaced for free.


WM - if you have bought roller blades have you bought knee and elbow pads too?

Nope, because I am carp. Didn't even think of them. Goes off to have a look..........

oh I'm looking at the BB reviews of smart trikes (only because they have a bee and a cow print one) and one of the children mentioned in a review is called Buster. Is it me or does that sound more like a dog's name?

Jenny, I was just about to PM you to see if you were okay! Kept forgetting to ask about you here . Sorry to hear Erin is poorly as well - wow, it's definitely going around! Best wishes for tomorrow, I hope it's not too hard on all of you. Hopefully Erin will surprise everyone and be just fine with less feeds. Are you going to pump or what for her, since I don't think she takes a bottle? Just being nosey because still trying to decide what to do for Finn! (we've successfully cut 1 of his day feeds, but there's still another right about now and wondering whether to just make him go without or try and sub with some milk from a cup)

Woohoo, got another interview. Not for 2 weeks though! What's with all these long time scales, argh? Don't they know people need work straight away! Oh well, the way I see it is a couple weeks out of work won't be any worse than being on SMP, so it's okayish for now.

Still no news on gas man who is supposed to come this arvo. It's actually colder in here than outside . ETA: gas man just arrived, yay!

Thanks for thinking of me I'm still going to feed Erin outside of 8-6 when she will be in nursery and I've got it down to just a feed at lunch time before her nap to stop. The nursery are going to try just giving her some milk from a nuby cup I got that she likes. As Sami says hopefully without me there she wont ask for a feed, she's been fine there otherwise. I got rid of the afternoon feed by taking for her a walk and feeding her rice cakes. Going to walk to the nursery now and see if they think she is to ill to go in, her temp is 37.3 so not too high.

JUMPEROOS so are they worth it??? Just convinced DH that we may just have to get one for Dasiy for that special December day!:D

Absolutely totally worth it!! We borrowed ours... I was worried it wouldn't be available for this one, but it's coming back to us soon thank goodness! If you were near by I'd lend it you for the interim period we won't be using it lol

Golden coin maker, because it looks rubbish.

I got this for Aimee cheap from Tesco... It's easy enough to do and she enjoyed it... But it's a bit of a faff with the waiting in between etc... She hasn't asked to use it again since the first time...

That's what I was thinking Krystal "a one time wonder". But that can probably be said of most of the stuff he's asked for. Father Christmas will just have to have run out of them.;)

i havent a clue what to get Kian for christmas.

he got a smart trike when he was christened, he has 2 walker/push alongs, 1 ride on (his legs are too little still so its a xmas pressie). a baby laptop, assorted singing books, etc

we have got the wooden blocks & truck already.

am in need of inspiration...

nothing too big as we dont really have the room. although bigger toys could be kept in his room when we're not in.

was thinking an outdoory type thing but not sure. we have a park at the back of the house with some swings,slide but nothing fantastic.

CAFC :j for the new pram and Landen's nap!
