OMO that looks awesome! I am sure you will have a fantastic time Can I be cheeky and ask what your total budget is? You don't have to answer if you would prefer not to.

OMO that sounds fab! Can I come?!

Your daughter will love it!! It's funny because it seems like you're doing more in a few days than I did in two years!

You're inspiring me to organise some day trips to London now.... x

Will work it out properly when I get home tonight. It has gone up because of booking the hotel instead of the campsite.

It may change slightly as I think I have found some cheap theatre tickets.

It will cost over £1000 now due to the hotel, but it is a one off holiday. For that money you could go abroad, but I find beach holidays boring after a day or two.

Thank you so much for all your well wishes! Everything seems to be fine although I do have a constant urge to do another test as it still doesn't feel completely real. I have already done five though

nice to see you back IslandMum - and congratulations on your wonderful news - my boys are only 15 months apart and whilst at times this can be very hard work it is mostly great that they are so very close.

Thank you jakesbakescakes, that's lovely to hear! 18 months seems so close together but it's nice to hear from someone whose little ones are close in age too.

OMO your crashes sound awful and the girl on her bike was incredibly lucky!!! I'm already starting to second guess riding my bike to work even this early in pregnancy

Is anyone here picking up bits for Christmas 2013? I have started, pleased so far as I think this is going to be a much easier and nicer Christmas than last year Also putting away £20 a month as a buffer for Christmas meals/January.

I have already finished a few people's presents and got bits for other people too. Christmas just changed for us so Santa will have to come twice this year so maybe I shall take your lead and start putting money away for festive food. Thanks

Hope everyone is well and warm - if it's cold this far South it must be nippy everywhere else xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OMO - oh no, which part of the country are you in? I hoped we were finished with the white stuff! xxx
ps - your London holiday sounds fabulous, what a lot you're packing in. I'm exhausted just reading it! xxx

freespirit66-Thankyou. xxx

FeistyFidget-Im so glad UV treatment worked for your mum. xx Everytime I go to the doctors they just say all I can use is emollient cream and my steroid cream! (which is like a thick greasy vaseline that you have to spend forever applying to each patch and not getting on your actual skin ugh) Ive researched and know theres tablets, UV treatment etc but they wont listen. Going to have to keep trying! xxx

icemice-It must be really hard having it on your hands and feet, uncomfortable and very irritating Id imagine. Thats the only places I dont have it! xxx

OMO-Your London trip sounds wonderful! What about adding in a trip to the Harry Potter Platform 9 3/4 shop at Kings Cross Station? http://collider.com/harry-potter-platform-9-34-shop-kings-cross-station-london/ We're hoping to go there soon.

PinkSteps-Lovely to see you around. xx
