    There is a soft play place here which is good called Moby's, its near Asda on Newgate Lane, but it isnt ideal for public transport :undecided
    I would offer a lift but I have no idea how to fit the first size car seat bak in my car!

    EA, is there one you know of that the buses go near?

    Not that i know of, i dont know Fareham.

    Lily is to big for her carseat anyway, i'll have a look later. Im on a cleaning mission :D

    Lily is getting a My Pal Scout and some other small bits for xmas from us.

    MIL asked Joe what he wanted for Christmas last night. He told her about the Razor Spark Scooter he wanted. She said that they would get him that. I told her that it cost £55 in Argos that it was too much for them to spend, but she was fine with it, so have given her the item no. quick smart:rotfl: . Score £55 I don't have to find.

    I really need to try and get some decent photos of mine together. I am wanting to get some photo canvas's done for My parents and ILS for Christmas, but I can't get Alex to stay still. He will pose perfectly fine by himself, but once Joe is anywhere near him, he messes about.

    i kinda hope PIL ask this year what to get Kian.
    Last year it was a rocking horse which obv he cant use yet unless we hold him on it and then tbh he's not that keen. A swing for the garden would be ideal so i might drop some hints......

    Can you get any of the 2 of them having fun together? 2 of my faves (she shamelessly posts them again) are just of the boys having fun!

    I love DSS' hair when it's long MFD, he looks like a little indie kid :D Good looking boy, will break some hearts, I forsee this!

    Keira got a rocking horse, that was about £50 from Argos for one of her Xmas', think from my Gran, it was utterly RUBBISH, the handles fell off and all sorts.

    Oh that sounds a good idea Caz, Keira loves the movies so that could work actually, fill it with her fave sweets and some popcorn :D

    Fantastic photos MFD.

    I've tried that, but every-time my brain clicks onto the fact that I should be trying to get a photo and I get my phone out to get a pic, they've stopped. I'm obviously too slow. Will just have to keep trying. Get paid next week and really, really want to sort out rest of presents. So that November wage covers, Joe's birthday party and OH Christmas present, whatever each of these may be. And then for the first time in ages I may not actually be broke in Dec/Jan. Has nothing to do with wanting cash for the Next Sale either :whistle:
