Well done on the shopping, Red! Blossoming - I use John Freida blonde hair shampoo. Find it quite good. I have quite liked using baby shampoo when on hols and need to wash it every day.
Tracey - hmm, not sure that Centre Parcs thing would be a hit with me either.
MM - forgot to respond to your pooh situation. General consensus (poor DH gets the "highlights" from this thread most days) is that your DH should have cleaned that bedding up. Bet that would be the last time he puts DD down for a nap sans nappy. I would have been spitting the proverbial chips!
Everything - sorry no nice treats from your DH's trip. Perhaps just buy yourself something or do something just for you. My DH last bought me flowers when I had DD. None before that for ages . So, now I just buy them myself. Admittedly from M&S, but it keeps me happy. And I have to be quite clear when other things need to be purchased (ie had to tell DH I DID expect a Christmas present. It didn't need to be expensive or hard to get, but I wanted something). It doesn't really bother me, but if I want a present I have to speak up.
Can report that the H&M slim leg stone trousers worked v well in the playground and sand pit yesterday. They are almost like skinnny trousers, and I have chicken legs, so if that sounds like your thing, perhaps worth a try.
