    Morning All!


    Michelle - I have the top of the range graco contor electra travel cot and have used the bottom of the range one that is often in the asda baby event, the cheap one felt very wobbly and the base hard and i wouldn't recommend for frequent use. I have had a good look at the mid range £30-£50 ones before and they feel much more like my fancy one (i think the only reason mine was more expensive is for the extras like bassinet level and it has music and a light)
    and just FYI I only have the top one because MIL got it and she likes to spend lots :p

    Thanks GISI and SB, I was planning on def getting a more expensive one as its for sleeping in and I want her to be supported properly.

    GISI, I dunno?? You could make a tutu style cloak. Or a tutu dress. You make your strips longer, tie the ribbon round just above your boobs and use a nice wide bit of ribbon as a cinch belt (course you will need something under it or it'll be a bit kinky). Or a burlesque skirt. Stitch the tutu around the hips of an A line skirt. Or if you have a large floofy skirt, tutu underneath, (even just a small section of tutu) and hitch up the skirt revealing the tutu underskirt. Or just the back section of tutu made really fluffy.

    I am obsessed... Tonight I need to study and do some plastering and not sit playing with tutus.

    Michelle, I did read it as Ayana but typed it wrong. How do you say it? A (for air) ana?

    I picked Aisha for Amber but DH didn't like it :( (so he picked Amber which I don't like! lol)

    sorry Michelle - I know how frustrating name spelling glitches can be. I've not got an easy to spell one myself ;)

    Go Ayana! :T

    Just had a nice long witch fest on the phone to old colleague. Shes taking legal action against our old boss, and I'm so happy for her and offered my support.... he is a real nasty piece of work.... but it was nice to have a natter to her.

    i'm off to make bottles and scout for xmas presents xx

    Hi wilma, how are your grandchildren doing? :)

    Michelle - tbh I think no matter what you call your child there are so many morons about these days you'll always find someone that has trouble saying or spelling it! The amount of times We've had birthday/Christmas etc cards with our names spelt wrong or with obvious corrected mistakes is ridiculous I understand people may not know if Edgar is Edgar or Edger (at a stretch! :p) but Christopher, Matthew and Samantha are pretty easy IMO! :p esp when most put Matt and Sam for us!
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
