AnnaT- Glad to hear everything is going well with Ripley. Not much longer now til he can come along and hopefully all the drama will be forgotten. You can bring it up to him at his 21st.

Meg- Thats good the surgeon doesn't think its urgent. Make sure you go for those regular scans.

Well we took Ash to see santa today and she was totally freaked by him. How did you other girls get your little ones to have a photo? Ash is usually not one to be scared of people, must be the beard. While we were waiting she runs and chats and laughs at everyone, soon as we got her near santa she got so upset and clingy, even if I held her and sat next to santa she was still really upset, she had to be well away from him. So I'm a bit dissapointed I didn't get my santa pics.
