Hello all!! love the gorgeous bag Feisty!


Opee glad the move went well - fingers crossed you get straight before little one puts in an appearance! we moved in here 6 weeks before DD was born and I started my maternity leave and spent 4 weeks decorating, then the first day I sat down she put in an early appearance 2 weeks early!

Note to self.....DON'T SIT DOWN!!!! :rotfl:

Well The snow has begun......started around an hour ago and we're now white over Don't get me wrong I LOVE snow....at christmas! As for now? I'm secretly hoping (much to the disappointment of my DD) that we'll now get some rain to wash it all away

My mind is turning to Christmas again.....looking for nice homemade gifts as I've decided I'm gonna do my first ever Christmas fete this year.....gonna take along some of my towel and nappy cakes along with some nappy wreaths (managed to get lots of "Baby's first Christmas" bibs, socks, little gifts in the sales so I'm gonna try out a few Christmassy themed ones), snowman soups, Christmassy mugs filled with chocolates, reindeer food. Just trying to think of anything else I could make cheaply......any suggestions?

Completely forgot to say-bought a 3ft black Christmas tree in tesco for £1.22 last week.
Decided that we would only get a small one and put it on a table, though I don't know what we will do with the million sets of lights we own. Its only 3 or 4 really. Guess we could use them to decorate other things :j

Still not heard anything on the flat front. Seems a little weird or is it just me that thinks its strange to go away on holiday when you have given 4 weeks notice? Surely you would be packing? Anyhow seen some other places that we are going to book to view and I guess maybe have to let that one go. Don't know why agents would put it on saying available now when really it isn't.

FeistyFidget-How horrid of your aunt! :mad: Loving the panda bag. x

freespirit66 and bunbun-We went to Bunny Park in Hanwell. Only went for an hour, it was freezing and the animal/bird areas were already closed by the time we got there but still went in the maze and park and DS had an ice cream. (he'd eat ice cream whatever the temperature!)

Fitbits.....hmmm, not good I struggle to squeeze in exercise when working from home, being on placement is making it damn near impossible!

I had ice cream in Iceland when the snow was knee deep. Blooming lovely, it was!

Well I've been quite stuck due to DS being immobile at the mo but I'm getting back into it and would still recommend them. My DD got one this week too. We have our own group and forum so we do not bore everyone on here with fitbit talk.

If anyone is doing anything for Easter poundland were putting out a load of craft and baking related items out today.

MONEYSAVINGMUMOFONE although it was freezing im glad you had a good time, i have great memories as a kid of going to the seaside out of season, rain pouring down and sitting in the car eating sandwiches and flasks of soup
PINKSTEPS how is it all going? how are you and DS coping with everything?
CHRISSYG thanks for the tip re: Poundland
