    I have no idea how one goes about getting a Christmas tree here.

    The standard of the caravans.

    The best bit about the site I've linked to is that you can choose your caravan whereas with Haven you can select the grade but not the position.

    What's this site you talk of:p

    Very jealous of all you meeting up today, have a lovely time everyone:D

    Caz - How did you get £30 off £40 on verbaudet?

    I have been having a cleaning frenzy today - Worked off some stress and the living room and dining room are both sparkling now:)

    hi Kayleigh,:)

    How old is your little boy and what foods does he like at the mo?

    Hes 8 and i guess hes like lots of little boys he loves chips and baked beans and fish fingers! he does eat pasta and mash but he runs off from the table if he sees a carrot or pea on his plate. it sounds funny when i say it now but its really stressful at teatime.

    Hi Kayleigh

    Do you offer desserts? I have two older boys 8yrs and 10yrs they have grown up with the fact that if they don't eat their dinner, they get no pudding...this varies from a couple of biscuits, yoghurts to ice cream or cake...they don't know what it will be so tend to eat up just in case it is something special haha...

    It hasn't always been easy and we sometimes still have arguments at dinnertime, mainly with the 8yr old who has always been a terrible eater...

    Maybe you could try and get him involved in cooking the dinner, would that help dp you think, or say to him to try just one...Or do a veg tasting month where say twice a week you try a new/different veg and everyone has to try it....you might find some he will eat that way

    xx

    morning :wave:

    LO won't go to sleep today. She's in her cot saying 'daddy come home soon, mummy coming annabel' It's making me :( but think she's trying it on as daddy is at home today ;)

    been a very busy morning. we've lots of decisions to make at the moment. I feel like singing that song by the Hossiers - stop giving me choices! So DH took us to a fab coffee shop for early lunch/morning coffee as a 'nummy treat' as Annabel called it!

    Well done for walking Oscar! Thtas very cute. And poor french falling baby. I bet that doctors heart was in his mouth!

    CAFC - a blog sounds like good project to me.

    :wave: redstrannie

    best go and see this chatty/upset wee girl I suppose....enjoy your meet everyone :wave:
