Oh Kate, how exciting, congratulations sweetie and wishing you ! Well done on the sweet timing

Cally, I think K's gonna have an amazing Christmas! Missy E's getting her kitchen that we didn't end up giving her at her birthday, along with some saucepans & food, and a wooden train set. I've got a few books and a packet of textas as well. Missy E would love a little dolly cradle (where did you find yours?) but I think her aunty might be on the trail of a dolly bed for her.

Clare, congrats on the winning photo - that would be a great one to frame. It has pictorial value, kwim?

Sorry gals, I'm team Jacob. Just can't get with the cold-as-marble thing at all. BTW Edward Cullen IS morbidly depressed in the novel, can't see that's a point of difference with the movie at all.

Arte, really wanted ot give you some hugs & reassurance. You're doing a great job. Toddlers are really contrary, and I would imagine W is harder to distract (having a good memory) so - hang in there with your first pancake!

Katie, I didn't make it past the door - took one look and walked out again LOL.

Well I'm "right out there" this week - frantic to get everything done by the weekend but not in a state of mind to concentrate to do it. Have to keep reminding myself I"m the only person in the universe who expects me to do any of this stuff On friday we have DH's work christmas treat for the kids, DD1 has decided she'd prefer to go on her class excursion but I"m sure MIssy E will have a blast. Fun fun fun.
