    Are you ok Tia?? HUGE HUGS xxxx

    SS thank you again i have a full basket from half cost with lots and lots of goodies and with discounts etc etc it comes to £90!!! most of it is clothes but they always go down well!

    You're very welcome, I keep saying how much I like Christmas :)

    You get a certain discount over £100 Caz (can't remember how much but will check and edit), so if you go over £100 and then take off the code it'll be even more :money:

  • Evening all. I hope everyone is ok. I'm fine, except for a bit of a headache, and I'm STARVING. I've been craving fried eggs all day so guess what I'm having for tea ;) (Everyone at work has now decided I'm pregnant. And much as I'm jelous of all the pregnant laddies I know at the mo, I'd better blimmin well not be!)

    I've only read this page, so Tia, have a gentle kick, but also a hug, and I'll share my fried eggs with you if that helps!

    Does anyone know which chains do special occasion cakes? I've looked at sayers and m & s which are pretty affordable but I don't love the designs. Greenhalghs have some nice ones but no prices available. I was going to buy a plain white photo cake from asda and then get some stuff to decorate it from ebay but tbh if I go with something like this it's as cheap and much much easier! Or if anyone in the North west can recommend anywhere that's near Warrington or Trafford. I want to pay up to £40 for 40ish portions.

  • Morning all,

    Ladybird - how did you go with your potty training? (well Izzy's potty training - I assume you are fine!)

    Benjamin sat on the potty twice at the CM's yesterday and said 'wee wee' but then did it in his nappy before she had chance to take it off! But he seems to be getting the idea.

    Am going to buy the same potty as the CM today and see how he goes. I am not bothered about training him yet but if he is asking for it it seems silly not to respond!

    We've given up for now, as she was going every 10 mins. I had a read up, and aparently they get control of those muscles some point after 18 months, and until they can last for longer there isn't too much point in worrying about it. She was happy to wear pants and go on the potty, which is a good start though. And she was aware of when she was going, but showed no awareness of needing to go iyswim. I'm going to carry on getting her to sit on the potty before bath time just so she stays used to doing it, then try again in another couple of months I think.

    I've only searched back for my name btw, so have I missed anything? EA/GISI - do we have a plan for meeting on Thursday next week, other than we're going to meet on Thursday next week?

    Well, EA can't do next week and Em can't do the week after. How is the week after that- the 21st looking for Hampshire folks?
