    Johanne - she looks absolutely lovely. Make the most of it - they grow up so fast. I can't believe my little girl will be 6 in October. It only seems like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital.

    Oh bless. My Nan is getting a bit confused. She was 88 on Friday. I didnt see her as I'm choked with the cold and she's recovering from MRSA, shingles and cancer. I phoned her on Friday and yesterday and she just phoned me just now to thank me for my card and tell me a story about a neighbour that I dont know :confused: I wonder if she meant to tell my mum instead? Hmm, its a bit late to phone Mum just now, I'll leave it til tomorrow.

    I'm only in for half the week as we're off to Corfu on Friday. Heading down to Liverpool on Wednesday, so I've got Thursday to mooch about Liverpool/St Helens/Manchester to buy some new frocks and new pants. Oh and get some euros :rolleyes:

    Pigpen – and dare I say this - oh, alright, I'll dare - at the risk of being banned for life – is the reason you have eight children brought about by the fact you’re happy cleaning a knob? ;):rotfl:

    No it is because I jumped up and down on the knob.. I should have stuck to cleaning it!

    johanne she is absolutely gorgeous. Can i have some quick pushing vibes too please as your get more money and find lost things vibes have worked for everyone, and i deserve a nice easy labour and to be home very quickly.

    I am getting really excited now. Really looking forward to the baby smell, and the little fingers and toes, and the way they snuffle into you and everything really.

    tracey nicki said 7Ib 13, which i remembered as that was what DS weighed. Also had bad bruising to his face, although at the time i don't remember noticing.

    jjef that is a good start you have made there, i hate decorating. I also don't understand why people feel the need to gloss things such bad colours. At least if you are replacing the rads, that is one less thing to strip down. I think i would also replace the skirting if it was me. But then i am rather lazy after stripping a couple of rads here.

    DH just been scaring me by telling me how much he used to eat as a teenager. DS can eat enough now at 18 months, and as new baby is already 'over 8 Ibs' i am imagining he will also be a good little eater. I shared a large banana with DS earlier (half each) and before i was on my 2nd bite he had eaten his and wanted more of mine. I am going to be poor, and so skinny, good job i am sorting my savings now ;)

    Right, off to read some more of the threads. Roast eaten, enough for everyone another dinner, plus a chicken curry and a chicken stir fry. NYOM! Plus all tidying for tonight done. Just need to hang a load of washing and put things in the fridge when they are cool enough.

    We are replacing all skirting if they come off okay, will try in DD room first and go from there.
