MissJ that is absolutely the best news! I am so pleased for you. 
I am positive I felt movement at around 13 weeks with dd. It was about 16/17 with ds2 though. I think the better you know / the more in-tune you are with your own body the more likely you are to feel movement early. She was obviously listening in to your phonecall and felt the need to do a little celebratory dance.
Lenni, does sound like ds was on a roll. In our family its the girls that are all kamakhazee (sp?) nutters as toddlers and the boys are all much more calm and sedate at that age. Dd is much more of a daredevil than either of her brothers were and my nieces used to make my hair stand on end with their antics, but their brother was a little sweetie.
Tree, all that money for scaffolding for a £50 job. There are always a few roofers that are a bit crazy and willing to take a risk for a cash job, but you'd have to check you were properly insured before taking them on - just in case. You could do with my FIL actually. When a parachutist landed on their bedridden neighbour's roof and was literally clinging to the chimney in a tangle of ropes (think 3 storey victorian semi) and the emergency services refused to come out because they thought it was a hoax, he got out his own ladders, climbed up and got the poor fella down himself. From that day on he did all his own repair work on the house - well until he inherited a pile of money, then retired and could afford to pay to 'get a man in'.
The party thing is a toughie. We had a policy of not inviting anyone from school for the first couple of years and, like dd, ds1 only ever got invited to the parties where the whole class got an invite. It can be a bit tit-for-tat though and I think some of it was down to us not inviting their dcs so they didn't invite ours. I wasn't willing to play ball on that one and always came up with something else to do that I knew he would love. Its difficult if she is desperate to have a party though, especially if she feels it will make the nasty girls like her more, because you know that any friendship bourne out of the party will be very shortlived, but at her age she'd do anything for a couple of days being popular.
With ds1 I cherry picked the nicest children from his class, that I felt would be most likely to forge a genuine relationship with him rather than be fair-weather friends. It does seem to have worked to some extent, as the boys that came to his parties are also the ones that have pulled the bullies off him at various times and stood up for him in the playground on several occasions. I wouldn't say they are all bosom pals, but they are definitely on his side when it counts.
He did ask me to invite a couple of the bully boys, but I talked him out of it and I'm glad I did, as I really don't think it would have changed anything in the long-run and them being their would have had a serious effect on the party.
When is her birthday? I will have a think and see if I can come up with a cheap but effective party idea for you.
Sorry that was all a lot bit wordy, but I hope you get the gist.
