Tree, I knew you'd be up for the challenge! 
Oh those dresses - you bad, bad lady. Some of them are so beautiful, I bet your dd looked stunning in them. Sadly we do not have the funds at the moment. (Despite desperately trying to win either the lottery or thunderball with a series of numbers I dreamt about last weekend. 
)
I am sooo peeved. I lost a lovely M&S Autograph dress to an ebay sniper last night - lost by 10p, which somehow made it worse, as if I had realised there was another bidder I would have been happy to go a lot higher for this particular dress. 
I was busy looking at co-ordinating shoes, then dh spoke to me and pouffe, it was gone. Twas all dh's fault of course 
.
I am watching a couple of Sarah Louise dresses at the moment, but don't really want to go pretty pink and am seriously worried about white. Still, they are lovely and it will be for special occasions only. I also have my eye on one lovely Monsoon layer dress. I seem to have lost the knack of ebaying though - perhaps I should sign up for a sniper myself (although it really goes against the grain for me). Anyone know who, how or what I have to do?
As an alternative, I would love some sort of beautiful angel-top/blouse and trousers for the photo shoot. Have put a watch on a couple of Monsoon numbers and will see how it goes.
Sounds like that was the shift from hell you had this weekend. I must remember when you are on shift and send my 'easy shift' vibes to you. Hope you get plenty of time to relax, recover and smile this week.
Tea, we are in half-term hell here as well at the moment. With everyone being ill one after the other, we seem to be permanently stuck in the house with the boys either bouncing off each other or the walls. [type]
Dog I am sorry to hear about poor little J. Have you got a cot wedge? Dd still sleeps on hers and hates to be flat. She had silent reflux and it definitely helped at night, but with J's reflux being so much worse, I don't know how much difference it would make for him. Sounds like the GP is on the case, which is good. From what I hear so many of them fail to take reflux seriously enough and keep telling parents its colic and they'll grow out of it. My heart goes out to the little fella. Hope they cope up with a treatment plan for him really soon so he (and you) can get some relief. ((hugs))
Been at my sisters house for her birthday today. My 10 month old great nephew fell asleep on my knee and he weighs an absolute tonne. He's as tall as dd and twice as wide bless him. I thought dd would be jealous, she did want to sit next to us, but didn't seem jealous at all. She just kept pointing and saying "baby Mummy, look baby on Mummy, baby sleeping, ahh". Twas very cute indeed. 
Hi Books, missed you last night. Meant to say, thanks for the text. Kept meaning to reply, but then time moved on and I thought I'd probably left it too late. I wasn't ignoring you, things were just crazy madness round here at the time.
