    Your presence without presents will be ...

    be all the gift we need?

    will be the gilding on our golden day?

    Edit: IF you going to go all the way to Accrington for it.

    One of my favourites but a hell of a drive :eek:
    Still have a nice selection of fizz from the xmas mystery cases but the Vintage Rose is a nice bottle to turn up with.

    Been out testing beds this afternoon, my head now hurts from all the information and I am no closer to ordering.:(

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    too true - I just hope we are not on borrowed time :D

    there will be a lot of tongue biting when it does happen, me trying not to make uncalled for comments and unhelpful advice :D
    eg I didn't gave an over priced 'travel system' just a pushchair that folded up like an umbrella and it went in the middle of the car, we had terry nappies and I boil washed twice a day, babies were bathed in the kitchen sink as it was the right height to lift without hurting backs, I fed babies in bed and fell asleep with them still attached, no one was fed solids until they were six months and then it was baby rice and mashed bananas, very rarely did they have packet or jars ....:rotfl:


    Just under £600 for a travel system and car seat in 2009... :eek: although at least it was used for 2 DGKs right through till 2012...

    With you on the nappies, in the 80s I had a lovely nappy bucket with a lid - ever so handy - it got used for wallpaper paste for at least a decade afterwards.

    To be honest, I think the best thing I did for the g/kids was to puree part of all my roast dinners and veg and freeze in little containers and deliver in bulk. Perfect for their busy working mum. As a toddler, DGD would often smell her dinner and say 'Ganma' before eating it.
