aw, thanks Snowy, thats sweet. I have a question for you. As you know, we are flying to Oz in May and Im wondering how you went flying with Zara. Do you have any tips for me? I'll be flying alone with Ben, so im really cr@pping myself. We are flying with Emirates, and they have a basinet, but i think Ben will be too big for it - must call and ask. We havent bought an extra seat for Ben, we really couldnt afford it. Do you think we should stick with the bulkhead seats? I've posted a thread on this, but i know that you have experience, so i would love some advice.

Re: shoes. Because it is getting warmer here we have been spending alot of time outside, so we needed to get Ben some shoes. He loves them! And i love knowing his socks arent getting dirty!

Aghhh, we have to drive to Frankfurt next Thursday. I need to attend a passport interview. I emailed the embassy and asked if i really needed to go cos it is so far away, and they replied no. THEN yesterday they emailed me and told me i do need to go. I still need to change my name on my British passport.. CUTTING IT FINE! Hopefully they wont take too long.

Easter has come so fast, i only realised yesterday that it is next week !!!!!!! Shock. Question: What are your thoughts on Chocolate? DH and the in-laws thinks i am being too strict in not wanting to give Ben chocolate this year. MIL is the worst, I KNOW even if i say no, she will sneak it to Ben. I think a little bit is okay, but im scared as soon as i say a little bit is ok everyone will be stuffing Ben full of sugar.
