    im almost a little sad that i know whose buying my FB secret santa.... but she's uber lovely so i dont mind :D

    I was wondering if it was possible to keep it a secret from yourself :rotfl:

    Maybe for next time we could use one of the websites that you input your email addresses (ON OUR SECRET SANTA THAT IS ON FACEBOOK AND CERTAINLY NOT ON HERE CAUSE THAT IS AGAINST THE RULES; IF ANY NEW PEOPLE WANT TO JOIN PLEASE PM CAFC) and it chooses randomly so no one knows even the inputter. I'm not sure how it would work with the clever idea you had to group people according to numbers of LOs but I am a bit :( that you are missing one element of the surprise.

    Cafc did you give yourself SS? I blatantly would have done in your position :rotfl:

    :rotfl: There is a certain amount of pressure on me now that I can only hope to manage. I hope my Santa doesn't hate it :(

    Aless and others, I would be :mad: if my parents disregarded my wishes about gifts for Miss M. She likes noisy plastic stuff so I bite my tongue and let her have it, but dolls' prams and outside toys would make me proper :mad: Krystal, if you have one lurking in your shed for years put it on ebay! :eek: at no water, is it worth getting a cheap six-pack of Value water?

    Tia, I left you a message on a Facebook page about fairies. You are an :A and we love you. Thank you xxx

    Is Caz around? How's Charlie?

    Nothing new to report here except I feel very ill still :(

    That would involve getting dressed and going out :eek:

    If it's off any longer I probably will... Caitlyn has a full cup of water from last night so we've been alright so far... I'm not an OCD person... But I reeeeeeeeeeeally wanna wash my hands lol...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Some very sad news on the pregnancy thread :(

    I can't even imagine. I thought losing my mom during my pregnancy was bad enough, but this is a million times worse. I don't know Twoflower but I will certainly be thinking of her now :(.

    I can't imagine either, I almost lost my husband right after Molly was born but can't imagine it actually having happened. How awful. I don't know Twoflower either but will be keeping her in my very inadequate thoughts.

    Morning :cool:


    Shouldn't post whilst under the influence :D


    We had a horrible screamy wake up last night, soothed by calpol and a bum change, poor babba. :(




    Edit - such awful news for Twoflower. I cannot imagine. I will be thinking of her family xx

    Just wanted to let all the Scottish ladies know there's another good Groupon deal that would be a good gift for someone who's hard to buy for here. If you want a referral we can talk about it on Facebook :)
