I may have gotten a new dress for the office party/Christmas day (undecided which)

Grace got a party dress too . Luckily NIM didn't want a new dress.

Been a very busy weekend but can't really work out why, hopefully can catch up with things I've missed tomorrow.

Love your dress Dinah! And as for Graces, well I have been ogling that on Next for the past few months for Evie. I was thinking for her 2nd birthday, which I know isn't until next September but I think it would be fab on her when she has more hair!

I got a lovely purple dress for the party I went to last Sat and for Evie for Xmas I have:

They're gorgeous, I think we have very similar taste in baby clothes.

I was just thinking that myself. I couldn't believe when I opened your link and it was 'the dress' from Next!!! I have a slight obsession with baby clothes!

BTW - the photo of Grace on Facebook today was just beautiful. I always thought she looked like NIM but she is defo getting a look of you too. She is a little dote

That photo of Gracie was gorgeous! She's such a cutie! Love the dress too, can't see yours though, work has blocked it!

Ruby, was I supposed to be sending you a PM to be my FB friend?!

I'm going to buy some cut-price battery powered lights after Christmas and work on making some jumpers to sell next year. The only problem is working out where to keep the battery packs on other designs, got a snowman in my head but can't figure out where to put the bulky box?! :think:

I thought your jumper looked brilliant Birdie! Did you figure out how you could wash it?

Hi all,

I agree Grace looks gorgeous in her pic.

This is the dress i have got Poppy christmas day http://www.next.co.uk/g482472s1

Goodness knows what I am going to wear.

I love the jumper Birdie, is so cool! You should start your own business making them.

Shrimpy - hope they make an appointment for you soon, must be horrible waiting.

OH is bringing Poppy into my work this afetrnoon as we have santa and they all get a present and they are doing a magic show as well.

Very careful handwashing! Will have to work out a better system if I expect to sell them next year though!

Hope Poppy enjoys seeing Santa!

NIM! You're going to be letting the team down looking all scruffy in last years dress with Dinah and Gracie all scrubbed up

Love all the baby dresses, they're all going to look so cute!! Love your dress too Dinah, it's a bit vixenish!

Sounds like a lovely afternoon Wendz, I'd be trying to get myself a present off Santa too!

I thought I mentioned the jumper Birdie, but if I didn't it's amazing! Couldn't you do a "signature" present on each jumper for the battery pack? My Mum said there was a pop up kind of shop in Dublin over the weekend purely selling festive jumpers. They've become a "thing" out of no where this year!

I, on the other hand, have no new sparkly festive clobber I wanted this for Christmas day (the reindeer one) but 1) it's sold out and 2) it was £49.99 :eek: I think I might get a couple floaty tops for Christmas Eve/Christmas Day/Boxing Day/the vest of my life to hide a multitude of roly-poly sins though :A

Not yet, I heard back from the patient liaison yesterday, who said that I should get a call today with a date. If I haven't heard after lunch I think I'll give them a call and generally make a nuisance of myself again! I'm scared to call the mean secretary though as she made me cry last time Thank you for asking and for all the sympathy - I will admit I am feeling very sorry for myself over it!

That's a fab idea about the signature presents for the jumpers too.

Loving all the dresses, I have a reindeer jumper but its too hot for Christmas day and the eating and drinking that will entail so might treat myself to something floaty as well. The baby clothes made me go mushy so I only let myself have a quick peek!

Hope you get a present from Santa Wendz!

:rotfl: Cinny you crack me up! Loving all the dresses, sometimes wish they did baby dresses in adult sizes but then remember that they do really in places like White Stuff and I don't actually like them

Phew, just back from the dentist - she just smoothed the rough edges of the tooth, said there was no point filling it as it's just break and to think about a crown in the long term. Le sigh. Best get saving. On the plus side though as it was en emergency appt I didn't see my usual dentist and instead had such a lovely lady who really put me at ease and I've managed to swap and have her as my actual dentist So silver lining and all that!

Birdie, I would have just put the battery pack in a little pocket on the inside of the jumper near the bottom somewhere discreet - had you thought of that?

Edit - crossed posts with Shrimpy - that's shocking that the secretary made you cry!! I would complain, anyone working in hospital in whatever capacity need to have some compassion towards the people they're dealing with, it's not a normal secretarial job. Fingers crossed you get something through today x
