    3, could you ask V if she'll help you find them? I'm betting she'll lead you right to them ;)

    I'm just planning to make photo magnets of Molly to send out with the Christmas cards. What should I dress her as?

    Squeak smiled yesterday for the first time :j:j:j:j

    :D:D:D:D:D:D Yay squeak!! You've got to try catch it on camera now!;)

    Daisy is very nearly there with a smile. You can see it in her eyes and face and she opens her mouth with her top lip quivering... Elvis style!:rotfl:

    She was really good last night and was wide awake when we went shopping at Mr M's but didn't mind it in the slightest:D It turns out the staff at Mr M's have all been waiting to see my baby after seeing me shopping with "bump" every week - right up to 2 days before I had her!! Last time we went a few of the staff came over and said they've been looking out for me and today the checkout lady said she'd been waiting to see me!:eek: I don't even remember seeing the lady before:o:rotfl:

    Love the pics of Lily!:D

    I've had 2 Nuby freebies and would feel guilty trying for another!!

    I'm a Flylady out of action at the mo. Can't wait to get back to it. The lists are so helpful:)

    Pleaseeeeeeeee go to smear tests ladies!!:p Even though I'll probably put mine (which is due about now) off as long as poss:o My friend luckily went for hers a few years ago and has had to have treatment. I hate to think what would of happened if she hadn't been checked:(

    WM your fairies arrived this morning, it's beautiful, she'll love it. (i'm now wishing I didn't have such huge man wrists!)

    I'm so pleased you like it and hope L will too. Will it be going in her girlie birthday hamper?

    I obviously lived in a delusional state when i ordered it after having Alex. I have small wrists but i'm not that skinny :o

    As GISI said, can the bike not go to grandparents for a few days?

    Lily look V cute in her leggings and Pinkpig you are indeed lovely for helping your dad out.

    Quick question whilst I go back and catch up a bit. DD1 on her way over, with Tax Credits if she is working less than 16hrs a week (she's dropping to 10) she is below the threshold to claim, so is she still ok to claim as OH is working full-time or does he have to do it?

    Just one of them has to work over 16 hrs for a joint claim - I don't think it matter which one of them does it.


    I FOUND THEM. :j
    In the most obvoius place, posted down the side of the old wooden wendy house out in the back. Along with a collection of teaspoons and various bits of ribbon. I think I might strangle my son. :o

    I had a look over the fence into next door (where he hid my chicken breasts the other week) and there is a collection of hairbands and coat hangers i'll have to claim back from them.

    I also lifted the sofas to check underneath. It was quite :eek:, i'm off to read the flylady thread :o and get the hoover out.

    How do you get nuby freebies?!

    The camera on my phone is useless it has a huge delay lol

    See Smartie Daisy is well behaved on the outside :D:D

    On another happy note they said they don't think I've got MS :D Though the condition I've got *can* be a forerunner but they don't think it's likely in my case :D

    How do we get a free Nuby please?

    I wouldn't be surprised if Tescos started offering scans, they'll do everything in the future.

    Maddy talks quite a bit, Ben, Wow, Hiya, Bye Bye, Dada, Mama, That, Baba, Ahhh, Cat, Dog, Bird, Be Boo. They tend to talk more when they have older kids in the house I think.

    Just out of curiosity, what happens if you don't have a partner and you only work 10hrs. What would she get then, would she loose her wage?

    *creeps in*

    Hi :hello:

    A little birdie asked me to pop on and say hi so here I am! Things have been really busy chez boo recently and the thread was the first thing to go unfortunately. Things are settling down now so hopefully I won't go missing for as long again.

    I've only read this page though so hugs, yay's and congratulations where necessary. I hope all littlies and parents are well :)

    EA - Isla has those leggings too, she gets called an Isla bird quite often so they were the obvious choice for us. And we have the nuby cup in pink too :)

  • No Nuby freebie with my post today :(. I am :mad: though as there was a card for a parcel with underpaid postage- 10p underpaid so I have to pay £1.10 to get it. I can only assume that it is for the giant cupcake case I ordered on eBay as the card is in DH'd name and all eBay things come to him (whereas everything else comes to me). Would you neg for that?
