  • I am not to sure whether anyone in our family is going to get it done.
    I have 2 ds’s at 2 and nearly 3 years.
    Whats putting me off is that there is doctors who will not give the jab. You have to ask yourself why these doctors, (who are trained in medicine and have more info about it than us) dont want to proceed with giving it. Do they know of…[Read more]

  • Last year we spent about 2 months trying to source the best deals on all our santa stuff but it was a nightmare getting babysitters and travelling the country looking for toys. 🙄

    I found out this year that smyths are really the cheapest and best toy store to go to for all your things. They are always doing deals and they have trolleys…[Read more]

  • Yep………..finished mine on saturday. Only have to wrap them up. Just have to sort out dh now. Cannot wait for xmas to come. Been itching to get the deco and tree down rom the loft.

  • Im sorry but when i read it i felt offended by it. Me and my husband have thought long and hard. You say that you decided against getting another dog but thats your choice. I have the time, space and a good enviroment to give a little pup a very good home. I’ve adopted dogs in the past who had no home and they have thrived being out on a farm. So…[Read more]

  • Hi almae. Well actually its not just for xmas. We have other dogs. We actually live on a farm so i’ve no problem with being able to look after a puppy. I have been looking for a puppy since the summer and the ds’s are getting a little agitated that we havent found one yet so thats why i was hoping to get one before xmas. I know you were only…[Read more]
