    Smartie, I would ring and just book yourself in with the Dr... Especially if your AF is not what you would consider normal...
    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.

    SS - Warm socks, now there's an idea;) The problem with that is - I have one child who flids out everytime he puts socks on!!!!

    Anyway, the xbox points are a fabby idea for the older one (he's the one with the xbox, as well as a ps3) Will DEFINITELY get him some of those, I never even considered it...

    So far, one has a donut maker and one has a crisp maker....I am getting them both a new spongebob duvet set, as I have found a design that they don't have. Also slippers and dressing gowns are in mind...although they barely wear them, so not sure about that? My other idea is a chocolate/sweet hamper of some kind, just need to find a load of sweets and choc cheap to put in, oh, and something for them to go in lol x i am rubbish this year honestly, they have everything, I am so lost.

    Becles, have a look for it on ebay - a toy Husband had as a kid that's in good condition is going for a fortune :)

    Yup Becles, £26 with 2 days to go.

    Thanks but I don't think my Mam would part with it now :D

    Sami - that school sounds perfect. I think you just get a feeling if it's the right one. I did with both the primary and the secondary schools I picked.

    Krystal - can you take Caitlyn and some toys. Maybe she'll sit and play on the carpet while you sort of half play with her and half join in the activities?

    Mel - uurrrghhh sherry. I can't stand it!

    Charlotte said she loves Zak. I said "he is a cute baby" thinking she meant her friends baby brother, but she said "no, I mean the boy in High School Musical" :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    Oooohhhh....

    I'm doing my graded unit on assisted conception and one of the things I wanted to mention was the suppliments like B12, that women find useful. Any links you girls have would be great :D

    LOL Becles!

    Mel, what about a board game, and make time to play it on Christmas night once the teeny two are asleep?

    red do you think they'd enjoy cooking or anything?

    you could maybe put together a cooking set for them as an activity? Ive made one from my youngest cousin who is 8, and its all bright coloured stuff for making cakes, silicon cases, mixing bowl,cookie cutters...etc..... because of the colours it could be boy or girl....

    or would they enjoy watching anything grow.... you could do that with glass jars and beans, water some cotton wool/kitchen roll and the grow on the window sill....

    I think I might... I do need to get contraception sorted asap as well (not that I'm really up to it right now;))

    Apparently we're not allowed to book our own postnatal check because it's a longer than normal appointment. I'm sure the receptionist and computer are both able to book a long appointment!! Grrrrr....

    CAFC - we're supposed to make appointment for 1st vaccinations after having check so I can't even say I've been blacklisted yet cos I haven't even had chance to accept or decline the vaccinations!!

    Both my ante and post natal care has been AWFUL!! I was advised to make formal complaint with a diary of all the crapness but as with most things I just haven't got round to it:o

    Ohohoh Mel! Worm/ant farms!

    Kites?

    Science museum type stuff?

    Bloody freezing here and I'm shattered after our adventures today. And Miss Stinky has not woken up from her 5:30pm nap :eek: is this her for the night, and if so are we looking at Unfeasibly Early Awakening?
