    Congratulations Twinkle! Welcome to the world little man x x

    Baby Pea and I are doing well and settling into being a family of 4.

    Had to go into town today to register her and got the Boots christmas book and also the Tesco gift guide so have sat this afternoon pouring over them. Anyone else love the ladies reindeer onesie in the Tesco book???????

    I bought Peas first Christmas pressies, The Alice in Wonderland book boxset for £15 on the Book People and also a top and leggings set for £5 in Tesco.

    Off to "try" and catch up, love to all x x

    Hiya Pips mum glad its all going so well:) be kind to yourself too.

    Congratulations Twinkle another little prince well done you:)

    MaggieMcQ relax and enjoy this time with your hubby and I'm sure you will be blessed. Don't put any pressure on yourselves.

    AAAB I'm not surprised you are emotional! How you cope I will never know. My darling hubby was very close to death a few years ago ( although he didn't know it at the time) it really shook us all and made us appreciate all the little important things in life. Seize each day because none of us ever really know. Of course I regularly get lost in the hustle and bustle of things and have to pull myself back. Every day with him is a blessing.

    Oh no somebody didn't like Bents:( how awful Now what can we do to to rectify that?

    Kayandy I am so sorry what an awful time you've had. (((Hugs))) We are always here for chatter even if you don't feel very festive at the mo.

    Moneysavingmumofone what a lovely thing to say. Thank you :) xxx

    I love those ikea bags I might get 2 packs and write 1-24 on them instead of an advent calendar thanks for posting x
  • Own My Own & VICSH, I bought those bags last week.. Like you I haven't got a clue what to put in them. I'm thinking of putting a gift card, small Lindt chocolate & a candle in them for B&Sil, we don't do presents just vouchers. Let me know what you think, don't know if it sounds a bit silly :-)
