No its a fairy, but she was a little bigger than supposed to be and you can't see her wings very well in that photo (you can tell when they're freebies I rush them abit) although the mum (my hairdresser) of the little girl showed it off to everyone so wished I had took a little more care

Oops, sorry Plum! I can see the wings now

Freak it was me that recommended Spooks! No, I don't think you do need to have seen them all, although the characters do develop over the series.
It was also me that was after the big sleepsuits! That would be fab, are you sure you don't want anything for them? Are you on FB?

CWWM - glad you are ok

Plum if you give me step by step instructions I might attempt it!

Also lol at you praising me for watching a lot of tv! Took me until over half way through series 1 to get into it but once I did i just watched 3 or 4 episodes a night! How come s4 was so short though? only 14 episodes when the others had 23/24...

Ali glad you can use them. There is one tigger one that was 2nd hand before ds and is quite worn but still ok and 3 maybe 4 plain white ones (also second hand to me but didn't look used). I did try to put ds in them to babyfie him but he was having none of it so only wore one. Defo nothng for them, it's you or the charity shop! Am on fb, am friends with alice, cc, cwwm and faq (and maybe a few others I can't remember!) first name my usual nickname, surname starts Ak.

CWWM ds was a shock to me how hard work he was after dd, must be even more of a shock if you'd had 4(?) easier ones beforehand!

DD has been asking if she can go spend a night at daddy's so I called him to ask and he just went quiet then eventually asked where she would sleep, then said he would get back to me.

Fuck him, if it's so much of an effort for him to take care of his daughter for ONE night then he won't have her, his loss

Freak - What a fuckwit. It will be his loss.
I will add you on FB

HMHB - we've had snow and hail here today bizarrely. Duvet has been over the landing bannister and is almost dry, and the bedding is in the dryer so I'm pretty much sorted - it was just all too much this morning when I hadn't had enough sleep or enough caffine!

I really need to get off facebook and the computer and get some stuff done! Walked round to leave DD2 at her friends house, Poor DD1 was so sad but trying not to show it because she passed her friends house that she plays with regularly (who has been at 2 parties here including a sleepover),and there was balloons outside and little girls going into the party. DD1 said that her friend was only allowed ask a few people, but I felt sorry for her

CC thats awful for her, I hate that when that happens, although sounds like your more annoyed than her hopefully, has why I won't join facebook I spend too much time on here already, my brother wants me to join just s he can have more friends, he only has 13

I've been really bad lately about organising friends to come or let my dcs go to others

Where did you book to go and when so I can be really jealous?

Ali, yuk poor you, have you got your bed sorted?

Freak I would send you a photocopy but don't have CAT, do you? is it possible to CAt someone who dosen't have CAT? If not I will explain best I can

Was all set to do a big weekend list but now its time to go start dinner so will have to leave it until later

Freaky - what a knobber.

CC - that's such a shame for her.
