Thanks Helen . We went to the movies and my mum looked after Emma. I think she was so excited like all her Christmases had come at once . I hope you had a lovely day too.

Thanks for the advice re: the needles. Still not sure what I am going to do. The council have their next lot on the 16th November which then Emma will be 2 months old so I might just go there.

Shell, I want to do the plaster thing too. I might go to Target today and have a look at how hard it will be to do it myself. I was also thinking of getting a blank canvas and some paint and just doing her hand and foot prints but not sure if the paint would be safe enough??
