    And when I was taking those pics she was properly walking towards me (which is why they are so blurry). from now on she is going to nursery in a tutu because it's the only time she will walk on her own.

    CAFC, in this case I would have made him a cup of tea and dropped it over him :D

    my xmas shop today (although brief) was productive. I need a small gift for my youngest cousin.... I've never met her because of family fall outs but now we're all back in contact, but since she lives down south, ive still not met her....but she sent Landen a bear from build a bear so i thought it would be a nice thing to do....

    In £1land, they had silicone cupcake cases in 2 sizes in bright funky colours, so i got 2, one bright pink, one bright orange, they then also had a set of measuring cups (like the spoons) in a bright green, then we went to wilko, and in their student range they had a bright orange mixing bowl, so got that and a wooden spoon, and then going to get her a cupcake mix thing next time we go shopping, so not bad for a £5er, and I think it looks more expensive....
    I've got my mum, my sister, my nan, and hubbys parents left to buy for....
    So far I've only got a perfume that I want on my list.....

    i'd made him a lemsip because he was complaining he'd caught my sickness I "had" (no dipflit still "have")..... he was asleep when i bought it back in but lo and behold when i took L upstairs to change him, he magically awakes, drinks it and goes back to sleep....

    Kindof - Yes please, with a large wet dead trout ideally :rotfl:

    Bruno. I would tell your wife to grow up and stop trying to make life horrible for those around her. You get angry at the unreasonable dad behaviour on here, I am angry and frustrated on your behalf at your dw's appallingly unreasonable behaviour. You must be a saint. Stop taking it, you are just asking for more.

    Aless, you are positively timid compared to me! But I don't think it is harsh as such, she needs to stop being so horrible to those around her.

    :o I'm not as ballsy as you, MFD, and for some reason thought my opinion might not be shared! And thought I might be less sensitive because I'm in the same situation of not seeing my family often (but then I'm of the camp "you chose to live here, so suck it up").

    Tia, Amber is so cute!

    SS, thanks for the code! Guess I should get my butt in gear and order tonight ;).

    I have all the silicone cake tins and silicone accessories from Poundland, they are fab and just as good as the more expensive silicone stuff I've bought elsewhere, she will love them CAFC!

    I'd seen a advert for the new Monkey Bizness in Eastleigh, it does look awesome. If its anywhere near as good as the one in Gosport it will most definitely be awesome!

    Aless I'm also in the same camp - Husband and I both live in different countries from our families and while we sometimes miss them it's a choice we made.

    It's frustrating to try and juggle the needs of partner and family (gods that's true for me :o) but if one person is being unreasonable I do my best to point that out. I've handed Husband his butt a few times when he's stepped over the line - but I've done the same for my mother. Still though the mother being worried that Mrs Bruno would keep E from her has really made me worry and feel sad for everyone concerned all day, I want to give everyone a cup of tea and a hug that it's gone that far and that Bruno's in the midst.
