OMG miamla I love them too, infact anything with almond.
My sister often calls with them from tesco, but they are very stingy with that filling.

TS see here

Wow Miamla there must be something in the air tonight, my DS is in his cot too, in his own room [wails] my baby . He's actually been in his cot at night since he was born, but being in a room on his own is a whole new adventure. This comes hot on the heels of making the pram into a pushchair as he really didn't fit any more, and yesterday DD had her hair cut for the very first time (she's nearly 3.5 ) I need another baby

dizzydixies · 27/04/2009 21:58

I just like her designs thats all but they're RIDICLIOUSLY expensive over here - who has oops mobile to tell her to load up a suitcase and bring them home

TwilightSurfer · 27/04/2009 21:59

Sazzles has her number

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 27/04/2009 22:01

hotter awwww bless them both.
I am off to bed in the hope of sleep incase before it kicks off again.

dizzy glad it went well.
night all

dizzydixies · 27/04/2009 22:01

do you think she'd mind!?! the reason for my outburst is that I'm looking for a rug to go in living room and there is a lovely Orla Keily one but SOOOOOOOOOO many pennies - had a cheeky look on ebay and its all stuff from target

TwilightSurfer · 27/04/2009 22:01

HP brief needy moment for me here today. Just got word a close cousin is due in december with her first. made me very very wanty. even considered googling snip-snip info to see if sperm still loaded is still good enough to make another.

dizzydixies · 27/04/2009 22:01

night No1 - best of luck

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 27/04/2009 22:02

TwilightSurfer · 27/04/2009 22:02

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 27/04/2009 22:03

dizzydixies · 27/04/2009 22:04

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 27/04/2009 22:05

TwilightSurfer · 27/04/2009 22:06

dizzydixies · 27/04/2009 22:06
