    In fact any recent pics of anyone's lovely babies would be fab!

    I have had to make a very hard decision this week. I knew deep down I would have to do it and DH said it needed doing. However, because I found it tough I completely messed up how I did it, making everything it all much harder but only because I wasn't sure how to. However, the outcome was the right one, and I feel relieved, the question is do I go back and try and smooth how it happened or as it's over just leave it and move on.
    will you regret not smoothing? or will you more feel you have had to walk all over unnecessary egg-shells?

    :) and hugs, cos it sounds tricky :(

    Ooh, thank you... Where do you print it out? Wish I'd known that before I paid for a cup of tea in the cafe the other day...

    That's funny, I was randomly thinking yesterday that you were well into your pg when Fergie was as old as Kessie is now, and wondering whether it was harder dealing with one baby while pg, or 2 babies and not pg!
    2 babies and not PG please.

    I was achey and grumpy and couldn't sleep on my tummy.

    (whereas now I'm achey and grumpy but my fave bed position is ALL MINE! LOL)

  • Thanks. I think you would put me to shame though. :p. I thought Joe was going to throw a strop because he was absolute pants at first. I know i'm cruel. Took him a good hour but he didn't give up and he finally got it. Good job too because i've already bought him some roller blades for his birthday in december :o

    Oh - was just about to say I have a pair of skates in a size 1 that DSS used about twice in the cupboard under the stairs...

    Too confusing for me to attempt to answer - if you want someone to give you an honest answer in a PM I will happily oblige!

    Not sure Tara, it would probably depend on what the benefits would be for you and the other person, whether you can just forget it and move on, and whether the other person has already, or if they might appreciate going back over it. Sorry, that might not be very helpful :/

    I don't know. I think I thought I was doing it ok, I still think some of it was. Just sometimes decisions are tough and if anything we leave them too long. You don't realise you're in a bad situation until it's too late, or even recognise how bad it is until someone points it out. Took a couple of people to make me wake up and when I did I felt a bit silly. I had to step back then when I did I realised I actually needed to step out! :(
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p

    At ours there is a machine by the till points and also one in the cafe. looks a bit like a boots advatage card machine.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Beenie glad i could help with present idea for your DS. Are you expecting THE phone call tomorrow?

    I have escaped back in time to the late 80's today and gone roller skating. Joe was invited to a party at the roller rink and I just had to have a go. I didn't end up on my backside so that was a result and i actually had fun with my big boy, which is something that has been sadly lacking in my life. Alex was bopping and smiling away in his buggy too. Just a damn shame I had to bl00dy come home.
    Yeah, but as the woman only works part time apparently, i am not sure if i will get it tomorrow! I think i'll give it til 1pm again and ring head office if she hasn't phoned.

    I used to go roller skating as a kid it was sooo much fun, they don't do anything like that in our leisure centre anymore. How was OH and his sore head?

    Amber is making me grrrrrr right now, she's refusing to sleep in her cot and wailing so i've had to bring her down so DS can sleep. We're having a battle... she keeps trying to sit up and i keep shoving her back down and saying no, night night. lol. I reckon i'll win, eventually ;)
