    The baby opened her eyes for the first time tonight.

    Spud, you haven't missed her name, I haven't posted it yet. I know names are very personal but I really don't like this one. She's being called Paris. It's probably just me but I can see so many horrible jokes in her future.

    Pronounced Pah-ris or pah-ree?

    Gosh, this has been a heart-render, all the best to all your family and especially little Paris.
    Probably too late but when I lived in Edinburgh and I had my son, in John Lewis you could get lovely soft fleece by the meter - I bought some patterned just like Elmer the elephant and blanket stitched round the edges... took minutes (even with my cat trying to "help") and I felt all virtuous.
    My son, now 8, called it his special blanket and even now wants it when he feels ill.... awww.
    This, by the way, is in reply to your shawl request, not just me banging on.....

    Cos it is leftover from Christmas, and needs drinking, and once it is gone it is gone..... unless there are any more extra 1000 points offers at Tesco....

    :eek: :eek: :eek:

    I'm in total shock. Took BF, his nephew and my 2 neices to Deep Sea World today. I knew it was going to be expensive but I didn't realise I'd have to promise them my first born child and my soul as well! For a family ticket plus one child it was £44.:eek: I didn't want to buy a shark but I'm sure I must now have shares in it.

    Not to mention the ridiculous prices and pathetic excuse for food in their cafe. That came to about £25. Thankfully we made it through the shop without them prizing any more cash from me.
