    That is because stollen is yummy Krystal :)

    Tia, fairies flew today but I am very :mad: at the post office because the fairy post cost the same as an envelope containing two sheets of paper based purely on the A5 size. If I'd been able to fold it down 3cm it would have been €2 cheaper.

    Becles I'm always amazed at Charlottes beautiful hair! How old was she at her 2nd Christmas?, she has proper hair. V's will be thin and fluffy for her 2nd Christmas, slightly better than bald for her 1st. :rotfl:

    She was 19 months old on the second picture. I love her hair and I'm jealous of it :o I only wash it once a week with Tesco baby shampoo and a bit conditioner on the ends and it always looks really sleek and shiney.

    She had proper hair at 4 months! I had to trim it round her ears and trim her fringe to keep it back off her face:

    Love this picture. She was carrying on and turned away as I snapped the photo, but it shows all the natural highlights in her hair. Some people pay serious amounts of money for hair like that and she's got it for free :money:

    What are you studying?

    Over the last 4 years I've been doing a BA in Business Studies with the Open Uni. It's been a bit of a challenge with three children and work, and Charlotte was born during it!

    Whats Hipp Organic jars like? Any recommendations?

    I used them and Charlotte liked them, especially a blueberry dessert one. She used to really enjoy Heinz Globetrotter ones. They have stronger flavours than the other jars.

    Did a mix of our food mushed up and jars for convenience.

    I never wear matching underwear either :o

    I told my friend about vajazzle and she sent me a video of Clitter:

    Don't watch it when children are around though!
    Here I go again on my own....

    We tend to only use Hipp if the boys have jars. I have always tried to give Hm if I can but as some others on here will no doubt agree better if they try and will accept the jars as they are handy in an emergency - like being stuck in traffic on the motorway etc.

    Alice's hair went right down to her eyebrows when she was first born!

    Eww, L' too. It was really dark, went right down her forehead into a crop circle thing in the middle, down the edges of her ears :eek: and a line right down the middle of her back (which she still has!). She looked like a little baby chimp. :o


    Michelle Me & my three have voted again, just incase you're wondering who the three strange children were who keep voting. ;)

    CAFC - I found the jars all pretty samey, the hipp ones when you got to stage 2 Chris didn't like because they were more lots of hard cubes in a sauce rather than a thicker mush with some lumps IYKWIM?

    Edgar hasn't ever had a jar I don't think, he refused anything on a spoon for ages, stuck in traffic type emergencies were easier with him, just shove a rice cake in his hand and he was happy :cool: he does/did like the ella's pouches and would happily suck 'em straight out of the pouch - no mess :T

    the heinz tins knocked me sick tho, i only tried one, reminded me of dog food _pale_ oh and those powdered meals - ick!! might as well blend a pot noodle - looks the same :p
