good article in the observer about this Observer article

Thanks so much for organising this, much appreciated! Look forward to seeing you all there.

now I feel bad for buying the wings and not making them...:-S

count me in!

Luckily my daughter's nursery are providing her angel costume (looks like a bridesmaid dress from M&S, but it's dark blue with gold stars - odd) - I just have to provide the wings, which I found at the 99p shop in Camberwell. Ace!

The Tate Modern is great for babies - lots of fun things to look at and space for them to toddle around. Wagamamas nearby is good for lunch - they have high chairs etc and are geared up for babies.

They are coming to spend the winter in your house. My advice is to hoover them up and then bin the hoover bag pronto. Apparently they can produce a foul smelling liquid that stains if disturbed and reproduce at an alarming rate. We had alarming numbers congregating in the corner of our living room, around light fittings and on our curtains and I decided as they were the nasty foreign kind to eliminate them immediately. They started grossing me out after a while, and I usually love ladybirds. mockney piers Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > We've an infestatin of ladybirds (the foreign > bitey ones). At this time of year?!?!? Weird

Agree with giggirl - definitely offer to friends or swap. If you can be bothered there is this website where you can swap unwanted perfume and cosmetics Makeup alley. Or offer them for free on this forum or on freecycle/freegle. You'll definitely find takers one way or another!

Thanks to Mick Mac on the wedding present thread, this site has had me stifling the sniggers this morning. I had to stop looking before I embarrassed myself in front of my colleague.

it's such a personal thing, but here are some names that I've always liked: Anna, Isabel, Eve, Eleanor, Elsa, Beatrice hope that helps!

Agree on ceebeebies, or my daughter loves putting on the her story book dvds. Also puzzles or building towers with duplo.

Myself and my 2.5 year old daughter have just discovered Ooglies on CBBC - it's brilliant. Absolutely hilarious, albeit slightly sick humour. I urge everyone to go and watch it on bbc iplayer and have a good laugh.

hmm, I was a toddler then. Great song title though!

I've be taking my daughter now as I'm off work today - see you there soon!

Just booked my daughter on to the 2-3 year old course - she'll be there with her grandma

my daughter has one under her eye, but it's under her skin so no problems with ulceration etc. It looks a bit like a swollen bruise, so I get pretty sick of people saying "cor what a shiner", or "oh dear, she must have had a nasty fall"...Now I just say "it's a birthmark" before they've even finished - probably a bit rude, but I'm fed up of explaining it! She's being seen at the Great Ormond St dermatology clinic and they say that in 90% of cases they gradually disappear by the time they're 7. Fingers crossed...
