    Hope your SIL is ok Birdie, only a minor detail to leave out! *rolley-eyed smiley as I know you can't see them* :p

    I'm curious now about what your feet look like? :rotfl:

    Will take a pic tonight of my efforts! I'm in another craft group called "Come Craft With Me" where we meet up and give each other marks for our progress (or lack of) - although mainly we eat cake and natter!

    I have amazing feet! :p I can spread my toes really far apart and it really freaks out my SIL... she was horrified when the baby did it! :rotfl: His little toe curls under slightly just like mine too. I'm going to teach him my tricks to freak out his Mummy! :D

    You craft group sounds great!

    Congratulations on being an auntie Birdie! Glad your SIL is ok, bit of a small detail to leave out! Lucky she got a private room , i had to share with 5 others and had the most annoying person next to me...

    That is cute about him having feet like yours :D.

    Good luck on the jobs Shrimpy!

    We got the keys to our new house this morning so am only in work this afternoon and tomorrow, then we are moving everything and cleaning up the old place.

    Happy new house Wendz! Hope the move goes well, have you got lots of help? How long do you have until you give your 'old' keys back?

    Ha ha Birdie that is so cute about the toes! It sounds like he's a natural!

    Hope the move goes well Wendz! :)

    For anyone thinking about charity shopping clothes instead of ebaying them, I've just been sent a link from Nectar to 'tag your bag' to collect points for every £1 raised. Nice little bonus on charity donations! :)

    Good luck with the jobs Shrimpy.

    Love that the baby has awesome toes Birdie :D

    Can I ask what might sound like a weird question? On the walk in Africa we are going to be uploading videos throughout and will be interviewed at various times (look out for me on Nat Geo!). We are using 3G internet cards for this as we will be in the middle of nowhere but they are an expensive way of accessing the internet. Therefore I have been tasked with finding as much information as possible before we go and taking it on a flash drive so that we have accurate information to talk about without needing to trawl the internet for it. If over the next couple of weeks anyone spots a news items on lions would they mind sending me the links? For example, today I picked up some BBC news articles on Illinois looking to ban the sale of lion burgers. I'm looking to take around 500 files with me so any help would be greatly appreciated. Pretty please? :D

    Operation Lion Watch, reporting for duty! :D I spent far too much time pointlessly browsing the internet so if I come across anything, I'll let you know Beccie.

    I got the job! Eeeeee! Have already told my line manager, she wasn't very happy but was pleasant enough about it. Am already panicking about everything I have to do before I leave! Weirdly OH has an interview tonight as well for a job elsewhere.

    Thanks for the link too Birdie, haven't checked my nectar points in ages but must have racked up a few at Homebase when we moved. Might have to check that out!
