Not read back as still in hospital and suffering a fair bit of pain but yesterday evening our new baby boy was born. 8lb and perfect. We've called him Jason.
My toddler is smitten and gave him his favourite little car

He's doing well, we had trouble with the anaesthetic but the rest went fine. He should have been in theatre for 3 hours but he was gone for only 2. We also came away with a hypermobility syndrome diagnosis. Sigh!!!

Congratulations fluffy!!

Congratulations on the new arrival fluffysox What a lovely thing for your toddler to do.

Nanamia thank you for the hugs and kind thoughts. Sadly the place I worked has become very run down and numbers have been dwindling. It has been a long time coming but still came as a shock as we had been lead to believe we would have survived at least until Christmas.

Fiesty I love the latest creation and if I had enough cash I would definitely buy one!

ALJA have a fab time exploring Harrods, I went last October for a visit and loved it. I'm on countdown to my trip to London in November. Just going for a day so got lots to cram in!

It's been very quiet on the buying front here this week, was spent out from the weekend. Managed to buy quite a lot of things for my pots of gold & retro sweetie hampers and also picked a few things from the local body shop outlet shop.

My wardrobe is looking a bit of a state with all these bags and boxes just shoved in so going to have a sort through at the weekend and make sure all my lists are up to date.

Having trouble sleeping so off to lose a few hrs on pinterest.

Awww Fluffysox and Mr.Fluffysox and Master Fluffysox huge congratulations to you all I'm so delighted, that's made my day. Welcome to the world Jason Fluffysox from all the Christmas fairys. Now let your darling Mummy get some rest, plenty of cuddles tomorrow, your big bro has been dying to meet you xxx

Squeena I'm not familiar with the term so I will google shortly, I'm glad the op eventually went well and that you get your little prince back home where he belongs very soon xxx

Oh he's home they get kids in early so we didn't sray overnight a bonus for sure as his surgeon does like to keep them in.

Morning, dark and glum, but oooh babyfluffysox, congratulations fluffyfamily, mmmmmm, (l quite like babies, can you tell?).
Today is the anniversary of the end of MrI's suffering, an odd feeling, I should be used to it by now, and l don't get maudling, but I never know what you should do on such a day. So I'm going to spend it with my fave cous, and we may shop, or just go to one of his fave places and have a bit walk.
I managed to get all the wrinklie Christmas fair items I have made wrapped and labelled yesterday, so only a couple of snowman soups and pints of sox left to do this weekend, and their labels are done too.
I know what you mean about spoiling the effect, OMO, every time L get a room tidy it seems as if 'the things without a home' wander in and squat there. xxx
Nanamia, so looking forward to pics of your living room, and yes, it is a bit awkward when dgs1 is here when l'm skyping th other nibs, as they get a bit pouty at his 'luck' being here when they aren't. xxxx Even tho DGD always wants to talk to him.
