    My eyes are brilliant thank you. I had my eyes tested recently and one of them is now +.25 - so still brilliant vision. This is cos I'm now 40 and old age is coming ......

    Hi everyone...
    I'm in a good mood today as I was a little upset earlier.I was due to have my grandson earlier but due to not having a travel cot for him to sleep in..it looked like I wouldn't be able to have him.I have hunted around second hand shops and checked local papers and freecycle and local shop windows but couldn't find one.Then I decided to ask if anyone on here in my area had one to sell and thanks to Sea78 ....she has kindly loaned me hers.That's really made my day I'm now awaiting little man to arrive and then we can have a lovely week-end together.
    I cherish the time with him so much as when I'm working I don't have him overnight as I work early in the morning so now I'm getting over the op it's nice to spend quality time with him and it gives his mum a break..She has made me so happy!!!...THANKS....
    The rest of the day has been ok..not much happening.....had a NSD ...and will go to the car boot if weathers nice and see if I can pick up a travel cot for him....as I felt really cheeky asking on here...have a nice week-end everyone!!!

    Taxi - hope you had a restful night :) Am assuming you're busy with the little one today - although the weather is foul! Was thinking about the travel cot (not my one, the one you want!) and if you were thinking of buying one and can't get one from freecycle, there are some cheapish ones here:
    http://www.kiddicare.com
    for travel cots - you could then sell it on ebay when finished with it and probably get a similar amount back (thinking of the lower priced ones). Might be worth checking? I've asked my mum to put the word out on her freecycle too - she's over in Leeds so might have some luck for you.
