    I was going to get it for xmas cards, how do i make photo xmas cards?

    Is it a complicated printing & folding thing, or do i just print the photo and glue it to a card? :o

    We got free ones printed last year from a Grabbit. I can't remember who they were from, but i'm sure someone will.

    Aww, how perfect! Instant family. :rotfl:

    Ah yes Michelle, the hair loss. I think mine lasted about 2 months. It does stop i assure you.

    Mine lasted a lot longer than two months :( and I ended up having to get a fringe cut in, as it was the front section that went awol, and when it started to grow back I looked like a nutter!

  • Gill, you have a PM hun.


    Well bedtime was not so traumatic today. We waited until after 7pm (normal bedtime) to start the bathtime routine, then I added in a beautiful book that I love to read (but Benjamin often won't sit and listen) and then we just had about 10 or 15 mins of half hearted 'cries' whilst I shushed from outside the door and then from the bottom of the stairs and he went off.

    I have been so spoilt for the last 6 months with the max 5 mins and just chucking him in his cot that it still feels like a lot of work though :o

    My hair loss was horrendous, I have loads of very fine hair and it was very noticeable - even when you weren't looking at my scalp the drifts of it on my clothing were terrible :o

    But my hairdresser told me that you should rub gently up from the back of your neck into your hair and when you feel stubble the worst is over. Now I have inch and a half long chunks sticking up everywhere :rotfl:

  • Evening everyone,

    my baby monitors have developed the same fault as last time, so having to send back to amazon again but they are just refunding this time, but i bought them when they were on offer so i've not really got enough to replace them with something as good, want digital tho cos the first set i had were crackly and picked up someone elses baby coughing and heavy breathing!

    I found my ipod touch today, not seen since june 20th:D was in the kids book box right at the bottom full of scratches but at least ive got it back,

    my hair has started coming out again in the shower,:( i think mine could be stress related, but the more it falls out the more i get stressed! i went to the hairdressers last week and no bald patches were mentioned so hope it calms down, it does feel a bit thinner but maybe its my age :p

    My hair fell out for well over 6 months too... I have stupid short bits all over now... Maybe next time I'll just end up with an all over bob... Would save me a bit at the hairdressers anyway...

    Glad it was a bit easier tonight Mfd :)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
