    Hi all

    A busy day as DGS1 5th birthday. Into work until late lunchtime and then over with the Birthday Fairy's presents. Fortunately they were out at the time and we could plank against wall so he didn't know we had brought them in. He wondered how she carried them as she is very small. I explained that the ELC Dungeon of Doom was chosen by us, we sent the money to the Fairy and she arranged for ELC to wrap and deliver to the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness. He had a threeheaded monster for the Tower of Doom (last year) but it was broken. He was so chuffed that 'the fairy' had brought another! A very good day and DD had done a picture cake from Asda. DGS2 was rather upset tonight that he was eating his brother!

    Moil - I think you are celebrating a fifth birthday today too.



    Can read you from work but no posts or thanks so saying sorry.

    Coming up for a biggy on Sunday. Been crying already. Somewhere out there I have a 40+ daughter. Just hope her life OK. I got the photos out tonight and I was really scared. DGS3 looks so like her! I think I might have to let DD and DSIL know. They know about the baby thing but have never shown photos.

    Has anyone experienced carrotina (carotina?)? DGS3 totally orange.

    OH DLB


    You got through I need one syndrome -no smoke no DGS to stay. I did that 5 years ago and a major trial. Well done, you have done it. One - here or there not a crime but more than that is. It will be 5 years in 5 days time (DGS1 5 today so got dispensation!) I have maybe had 3 in 5 years (always unfortunately with a drink! At least it didn't start me smoking.
