MP, Ford Territory's are nice (don't have one but a friend does). The other car that is similar is a Toyota Highlander. We had one as a rental once and it was great. The rear seats fold completely flat so you have a mega boot when they aren't in use instead of taking up space like some fold up back seats do.

Junglemum, I owe you an apology - I just read the guidelines about not posting someones real name if it isn't in their sig and for some reason I always use your name. So sorry, I won't do that any more. I love your new username and avvy, looks great! How long until you go? How is your brother?

Leanne, WTG Livvi with the TT! That is great! How are your cousins kids doing now?

MD, hope you are feeling alright. Your DH must be made of gold!

Noni, I am very impressed with all your crafty ideas.

Ginger, the DVD player was a life saver! It kept W busy while we stopped multiple times for A. I don't like travelling with two small kids, it is so stressful and I end up very grumpy.

Cally, yay for holidays! Are you going away somewhere? Sorry if you have already said.

Clare, how are you enjoying your home? It must be nice to finally have it after all the house shopping you did. Are you going to visit you Oma at Christmas time?

Toilet training is a no-go here. The suggestion of the potty is enough to cause a meltdown so we are just leaving it until he is a bit more positive about it.

Hopefully the being scared of the wind thing will pass soon, I am going stir crazy stuck inside but he just won't go out. I looked around yesterday and he was just putting the last couple of letters in his alphabet puzzle - he can do the whole thing by himself now! He is getting pretty good with the letters, he can recognise them but gets a bit mixed up with the word- A, B, Cat, Dog, Elephant, F...

Not a lot happening here. For the last two nights Miss A has been waking at 1am and 4am, not sure why but hope she goes back to one wake up soon.
