Dinah was skim reading your maternitywear moans earlier and just saw these when browsing the sales - only one size left not sure if it's yours. It's not mine and I'm not pregnant but I'm tempted because £3 just seems ridiculously cheap!

LOL that would be the ultimate sales impulse buy! They don't fit and there's a massive gap round front for a bump... but they were £3!

Books sound good Dinah, will look out for them! Although the blurb for Next to Love almost put me off because it was likened to The Postmistress.... what a load of drivel!

I did, and I'm really chuffed with it. It's just the Blackjack colour, I considered the red but it was a bit bright for me, and with the Blackjack the centre of attention is the baby not the buggy

Lol. I was the opposite. I thought, if I am paying so much money for a buggy I am getting a nice bright one so we went for the red. I have a thing about black buggies, they just don't do it for me! The buggy does get a fair amount of attention though, because the iCandy isn't as popular in Ireland at the moment. Having said that though, my little babies inside the buggy get far more attention than the buggy. I had this random old woman in Tescos today cooing over Evie and saying she would like to kidnap her. Needless to say, we left very quickly!

Great news about the holiday. We went to Portugal last year and loved it. Would like to go back but can't see us going anywhere abroad on holidays for about another 2 years. Toddlers are too unpredicatable. Max was great for us last year but goodness knows what he would be like this year, as the terrible 2s have taken over.

We'll be going to Cyprus when our LO is about a year old for my cousin's wedding, I'm hoping that is an okay age to travel. There is also a chance we'll be going to South Africa later next year as my best friend is moving there for a year... and of course a few trips to Ireland... she's going to be one travelled baby!

Today's 10 steps.

1. Call T-mobile
2. Check NIMs email for M&S gift card
3. Call and cancel all lost bank cards and get new ones reissued
4. Order photo canvas using voucher
5. List remaining ebay bits in boxes in lounge, photograph everything
6. Answer ebay questions and book couriers
7. Reply to ebay customer services
8. Check RISI for books to post/leave ratings
9. Get quotes for annual travel insurance
10. Put wedding photos on memory stick for MIL, wrap up ready to send

I feel completely drained this morning, like I walked miles yesterday and yet I didn't. I'm not sure if it's because I was awake for about half an hour in the middle of the night.

Just like her daddy was. I'd been to just about every country in europe by the time I was 2. Dad traveled a lot.

I'm the only one in the office today and I have to vent this somewhere ... I've just read a comment on my friend's* Facebook which mentions commenter's baby 'Haribo' ... unfortunately I don't think it's a pet name for baby Harry either. What are people thinking?!


*When I say friend, what I mean is cousin-twice-removed who I don't really like. Obviously.

I think I'll never look at a pack of star mix the same again.

That must be a pet name, surely? Mustn't it? Surely! Otherwise I might lost all remaining faith in humanity!

Is it born? I know someone whose nickname for their baby before it's born is gummy bear, sort of like some people call it pea or bean etc.... if it's before it's born maybe I can excuse the name?
