    Morning all, busy day for us today. Large list sitting here taunting me so I'm going to finish my tea and tackle it *rolls up sleeves*

    Hope you early risers get through the day ok and that delain's sick LO gets better soonest.

    Also, good luck back at work KOAG :grouphug:

    I ordered Caitlyn a pair of these... Today a pair of these came through the post... Note the (older girl) next to the size... Lovely boots... But not great for my toddler to be playing in the snow in... And 3 sizes bigger than Aimee's feet too!

    I'm waiting for a reply to my email... I hope they just send me the little boots out... The thought of sliding my way to the post office in this ice is not appealing... Neither is the thought of paying return postage for their mistake!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Happened to me too recently Krystal, I bought a pair of babies' size 3 wellies and lo and behold I was sent a pair of adult 3's. Passed them on rather than messing with return postage because they weren't expensive and I CBA.

    Definitely going now. Busy bee.

    This is his "I am not amused" face. (ignore snotti-and-crustiness on his face, please)

    He's very handsome and looks so much like you! Nice outfit ;)

    Krystal I thought the rule was that if someone sent you something you didn't order, it was up to them to facilitate the return, or does that only count when you've not ordered anything from them?

    I've not had chance to post over the weekend, Saturday we went to Mum's school to see santa and I got 6 books for 30p total :money: Edgar is going mad for one of them; a Pocoyo one with lift the flaps and moving bits, he was sat giggling for about 3 minutes lifting the flap on one page :D

    Morning all

    Sorry for those of you with terrible nights! Some grim times out there :/ good luck with your days and hopefully tonight will be better...
    How is vomitous little one this morning, Delain? Any improvements or she is still miserable?

    OH's twinges and BHs have settled down a bit this morning and she has heroically taken E to toddler group (well, I drove them :A) so I have a little bit of peace and quiet to do more house-arranging... just girding my loins...

    This morning I was playing with E in the nursery and out of nowhere he says to me "There is something very SCARY in here." (not looking upset). I ask what, he says "A SNAKE.". I ask, where is the snake? He points to the window and says "THAT's not a snake! That's a purple curtain!" and giggles wildly. Roll eyes :p

    I don't know, I'll go and have a nosey about the help pages in a min... I do know I had to pay to return a cosy toes even though the zip was faulty before I could have a full refund... I think if I do have to pay to return them then I'll just see if my sister wants them for my neice and send D to find wellies in the town...

    And Caitlyn has a real annoying habit of trying to bend the covers of books backwards. Dave was gutted that she broke the spine of the very hungry caterpillar finger puppet book he bought her... But it's his own fault for letting her have it unsupervised in the cot, not something I would do!!

    Cillit Bang. tried once in desperation when I'd run out of less industrial stuff. It will probably remove some of the paint too though so don't try it if your bedroom is a dark colour!

    We have icy cold but all the snow is gone.

    Vomitous (like it, thanks Bruno :p) little one is not happy. We went to get carpet cleaner this morning after taking the others to school and the bus didn't come to take us home. So I took her into waitrose (closest shop) and we sat in there for almost an hour.

    Fortunately my nan has volunteered to pick the others up from school later :D so have sent the poorly one back to bed.

    serious hugs to everyone who was up and online at silly o'clock this morning :(

    You know it's funny, Squeak is only 3 months old but being PG seems forever ago already. I don't envy your OH at all Bruno.
