No, we used to take it in turns when playing - she was very good like that. Though I always seem to end up being the Baby Jesus:D
She's younger than me, and when was really little, and could sit up on her own but couldn't sit herself up if you see what I mean, I used to sneak up on her and push her over:rotfl:Though she soon got wise to this, and when she saw me coming she used to fall backwards, to deny me the pleasure of pushing her over:)'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

Good evening

I hoped to get back on here earlier and catch up, but it didn't happen
so I hope I haven't missed anything.
I went shopping so we have food
I managed to claim a total of £19.50 CB on a shop that cost just over £30 today :money: Then I had to do a muggle shop for essentials, but I still got a £4.85 PP on it 
I've been to a fashion show tonight. School charity thing. My DD was on the catwalk. I had a massive sharp intake of breath when she came out, she looked stunning!! Hair and make up was done by local college students. It was so good. Very proud

Hello
Can I ask please with the valued opinions surveys does anyone do the surveys on an iPad, as I get half way through a survey and it just keeps crashing on me.
Also how many surveys do you get to do a week?
Thanks
ClaireWe're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits.
