I shall add it to the list...

Fumble DD (almost 5 months)

Often referred to (lovingly) online as Evil Betty. She is known by health profs, ante natal & post natal groups locally as never stops crying a nightmare a 'challenging' baby. Well someone has to get one I suppose. [hsmile]

And thats at least one thing crossed off the list. Yay!

btw - she's not called Betty in rl. Although I do quite like the name. Kind of wish I'd thought of it when pg.

I love the name Betty.
I am still not sure on DD's name and she is nearly 3. I think she is too robust for a Daisy, should have been a Bridget or Ginny or something

Hello Fumble. We call DGD (baby biscuit) Betti too.(not her actual name)
Cold seems to have spread to other nostril now so feeling more balanced [hgrin]
Ah well on with the day. Attempted to drive into town today but road closed so had to take a massive detour. hope it opens soon as its costing me a fortune in petrol.

Ladies, I have an announcement to make.

Vacuum bags are wonderful. And you are all wonderful for recommending. I am seriously thanking you lot a lot! I have emptied countless drawers/cupboards/nooks and crannies, enormous bedding chest and it all now sits in a small neat pile, perfectly packed, ready to go in the loft.

Announcement over.
