For anyone looking for something a little cheaper Asda have these ones. The top is plain, but I like the packaging.

I have just emptied my Christmas Present Trunk to check everything, and I can't get it all back in:mad:

I have tried 4 times.:mad:

Have had to put some bits in folding crate on top of it.:mad:

The Asda ones are nice for older boys but I do like traditional pjs, reminds me of when my own two were young.

Mind you, if I had my way, young babies would still be in the lovely little gowns we used to put newborns in.:rotfl:

Wish I had taken pictures of them now but they are wrapped up to give as gifts from my grandchildren to their mums. We were on holiday recently and picked up some huge, interesting flat stones from the beach. Yesterday I got the little ones to help cut out pictures of their mums' favourite colour flowers from the many seed catalogues I get through the post. Using stick glue, they stuck them on, overlapping and pressing the paper down to form a kind of decoupage effect. Lovely paperweights and they cost nothing.

Oh and terry nappies, all of mine were in terry nappies. People thought I was mad, which I've been happy to go along with

Dunlelm have rolls of vinyl Christmas table cloths to buy by the metre. we have decided to buy a second freezer:T hopefully before christmas so i can have a massive baking day.
Anyone in the Manchester area know when Botany bay christmas section will be up and running?

You've missed it. It's been up and running for weeks! They had a big opening day with reindeer and free food and santa etc , I went with my mum whilst DS was out with his father and it was a lovely day. Sooooo busy though! It's surprising how many people must be secretly batty for xmas because I didn't expect there to be so many people there!

Hellooooooooooooooooooo!
Sorry I havent posted yet but just popping on to let you all know that Baby Pea was a ........................drumroll.................. ....Baby Girl!

We have called her Zoe and she arrived at 12.10 lunchtime on the 9th Oct weighing 6lbs 15oz. Both doing fine, I have awful back ache as it took FOUR spinals to make me numb enough for CSection, apparently I have some weird thing going on in my spine!

Off now to buy some lovely pink things and plan what to get a little girl for Christmas!!

Congratulations :j
Hope you're both doing well
