    She's growing well, but I'd say she's average height for her age. What she lacks in tall, she makes up with sprawl! Example - she came through last night; let me pick her up; sprang into a starfish position smack in the middle of my pillow and went to sleep! :eek: :D :rotfl:

    £0.18 paid off a CC, oh the rapture! :p

    What with the many likely future occurrences of taking a little one back to her own bed, I think a double might be a really good idea :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Love the whole "springing starfish" :j

    I'm with the others on this, Ed - a double bed is no less long than a single. As a slightly taller than average female I fitted into a single perfectly fine when I came back home from uni.

    While I understand the argument in having a double in case of guests, there is every chance DD will expect mummy or daddy to sleep with her as there is space for another one in her bed! Is that a message you want to send out?

    Considering buying a limited edition whisky that's getting positive reviews for a resale punt :think:

    £5 paid off a CC (the old Mr M's voucher switcheroo).

    Treated us to posh fish and chips for dinner :drool:

    Still feeling blue, but I survived a very hard fortnight at work without the senior colleague who I get on well with and put up with the one that I strongly dislike without murdering them. There's always next week ;):D :eek: :rotfl:

    I swear to God, if said person says "that's a valid point" one more time in a manner that is muy patronising, I may punch her. I know you daft bism, that's why I said it! :p
