    did you go to Sutton High school? I'm guessing not but I NEED to know if I'm right :p

    No, but my cousins did :)

    Caz, what about Weezl's eggy bread? Or frittata, just fry up any leftover veg and then pour a load of beaten eggs into the pan over them? Finish off under the grill to cook the top.

    Edit: well done gorgeous David! I'm holding off till the December contest because I lovelovelove the picture of Molly with the star that I took last year.

    Yay - well done :j

    Hope the poorly people and babies feel better soon xx

    Bruno - I would strongly complain about the bed and play on the fact that your heavily pregnant wife is struggling sleeping on the floor. I'm sure Watchdog etc., would love a story like that!

    Bob was excellent at the vets. Hope H behaves himself.

    Got the shoe box presents and Charlotte has packed up the boxes ready to take to school tomorrow. She loved picking the items to go in them and she has done one for a boy and one for a girl.
    Here I go again on my own....

    I agree. It's not as described anyway if they've taken longer than the promised 28 days but I'd definitely play the sympathy card too.

    hello

    get well soon everyone. Especially AMber - I've been very worried about her. When I saw your post about her 'fit' I had to find all your other posts to check it turned out okay.

    Had a lovely time at toddlers this morning - they make such an effort and have arts and crafts every week. We love it! We have such a nice day here that we walked there and back - all uphill on the way home. I'm rather unfit! But the fresh air helped put a bit of a buffer between Lo and I. We've not had a break from each other all week/weekend as DH was away and we're bit sick of each others company now :( A cuppa at toddlers helped ;)

    We're going to hit sainsburys this afternoon. see if anything is left ;) then have some other bits to pick up.

    Hi, I hope all those ill babies and parents are feeling better very soon.
    Hammy - I just saw the news about David, and he's a very deserving winner - such a gorgeous photo.
    Tia - I do hope Amber gets over this quickly, it sounds so frightening - it's terrifying how quickly they can become so vulnerable. I'll never forget A getting ill on our way back from France when she was about 18 months old, after being sick all the way back (in the range rover we had borrowed from fil - not nice cleaning that up) she went limp and glassy eyed, and wouldn't respond so we ended up in casualty. It still makes me feel terrible just remembering it.
    Well, we had about 7 trick or treaters in the end. A. decided that her witch's outfit was too itchy, so she wore a black lacy shawl over her head and shoulders (looked great with Peppa Pig pyjamas :)) and answered the door in that.
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)
