we have to go back and see the consultant in about 3/4 weeks so will ask about getting ds1 tested. I might ask about testing me too

That's good Bunbun - It's better knowing these things I think, or it will always play on your mind.

Esmer - I had a look, they do look easy - I may make some of those tomorrow instead of cookies - I'll post a picture if I do.

i want to know now but am glad I didn't know when I was pregnant as would prob have had to have tests and then the worry of how ds would be as i get the impression some people have the condition much worse

Esmer I just want to say I have just read your blog and you are an inspiration, I have members of the family that I never know what to buy for and I have decided I am going to practice some of these things and make them hampers at christmas. Can I just be cheeky and ask, where do you get the things for the cosmetic type things cosmetics etc and the wrappings. Cheers

I haven't been on here for what seems like ages and can't possibly catch up. I have looked at the last couple of pages and am sorry to read that some of you are having a really tough time. Especially noticed legend mum and Claireylulu but know there are others too. Hope things pick up for you all Soon.

Surveys seem to be slow going at the moment. I have been on tolly today catching up on opinions. If I haven't done one of yours let me know who you are and I will. I have done all the ones I know to. Thanks to those who have done mine.

I did get another Tesco voucher which I used this week and put the money in the tin. I also had a 5p a litre off petrol voucher but they don't play fare and the price was 2p more than the Morrisons petrol right across the road. So only 3p saving there but as they say, every little helps. I did think about not bothering to buy from them on principle but it was still £1.44 in my tin extra than if I had gone to Morrisons.

Have a good weekend. Esther

where are you goin swimming with dolphins mum2one? I did it in florida at discovery cove and it was amazing, cost about £150 but you got the whole day there and the food was lush! Although next time Im going to save up for the trainer for the day package which is about £350 per person and you get to spend mroe time with the dolphin plus see behind the scenes and stuff.

Thats sounds amazing, were doing in dom rep,I was lucky I did a dolphin swim back when I was 30back in Mexico, which was amazing, then back in 05, I did a doplhin encounter in Dom rep, so were off to same place, shes choosen, the royal package, dolphin encounter and sealion encounter, and day trip, thats roughly £500 for the both of us. They do a trainer day were we're going Ocean World, it looked fab...
Can't wait xx

Good morning everyone

Thanks for the shopping.com info, I love it when they have a promo but I hadn't noticed this one. I did my 5 reviews yesterday, I checked the facebook site and it doesn't say they've reached the limit so hopefully I'll be paid. That was a nice quick £10!

All the baking is inspiring me. I bought an icing bag recently so I'm hoping to find time today to do some baking. If I manage it I'll post some pics.

Thanks so much, it was my first time making hampers, and I had a great time.

I made the bathbombs, salt scrubs, and I got my ingredients from Just A Soap. You have to buy in bulk to make it worthwhile, otherwise its expensive on the postage.

I got Cello bags, and wrap from ebay, lots of other things I sourced from little shops. I made the gift boxes for chocolates. Lots of inspiration on last years thread
