    Why is it, when I'm supposed to be sleepy, i.e now bedtime I'm wide awake but I've yawned my way through the entire day and been unable to keep my eyes open? :(
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    It kind of depends on what you are looking for and the type of house you live in. We have the BT 150 monitor which has been the top Which best buy for AGES, but is now discontinued alot of places and available at inflated prices in others (£80-90, when the RRP was only about £55!) If you can get one reasonably on ebay, then worth going for. Otherwise the new version which is also rated highly by which is the BT 250, which comes in around the £50 mark.
    We liked ours as it has a temperature alarm you can set (our house gets v hot!), and plays lullabies, or your own music via an MP3 player if you connect one. It has very good clarity and distance of reception, night light, and has a light display to show noise.
    I'm not a big panicker (i dont think!), so i havent gone for a monitor with under mattress sensor pad, but they are quite popular with people. I just reckon i would forget to turn the alarm off when i scoop Bean out!

    Just a little heads up. Huggies natural care nappies (size 3 upwards) are half price at Asda, so £3 a pack :)

    Hello everyone :)

    Sorry I have been AWOL for quite some time as my laptop died so I haven't been able to get on!

    I just wanted to pop in and let you all know that baby Isla was born at 10.36pm on the 3rd of January, will pop back soon and give more details, but we are besotted with her, she's gorgeous, even if I do say so myself!

    Hope everyone is all OK, I have been thinking about you all :) I will try to find the list and re post :)
