lol I'm posting more because I've reclaimed mine, (the kids are back in school) however Allanah's already showing signs of wanting it, she loves banging on the keyboard and watching the letters scroll across the screen, probably not the healthiest thing she could be doing but it stops her screaming lol.

Just noticed your ticker, I can't believe Ella's almost 1, doesn't seem that long ago since she was just born, have you got any plans for her birthday and if you don't mind me asking what are you getting her? Dh and I are planning ahead and going to be buying Allanah's 1st b'day present just after christmas so that he can help choose it (he's away for her b'day), so I'm looking for ideas, liking some of the trikes that are out there but with the weather over here I don't know she'd get much use out of it.

Hope you're well

Hey Rach,

My DS goes back to school tomorrow, I'm really looking forward to it, lol!

Bless Allanah! Ella loves the computer too, especially if DH is playing games on it!

Yeah, I know! Where the heck has the time gone? We're planning a little tea party, inviting my brothers brood (3 kids but only one is my brother's, long story!) and a few babies that our mates have had since Ella was born, should be nice.

To be honest she doesn't really need a lot at the moment apart from clothes as I am a hoarder and kept all of DS old toys that were in decent condition so she'll only get a few little bits other than clothes, I'm not entirely sure yet what exactly but things like musical books, shape sorters, bath toys. If we were looking for a bigger toy I'd probably choose something that she can push and walk with but that would turn into a ride-on when she's a bit older, maybe one of those ball popper type toys? I've also seen something on tv, can't remember what it's called but you put the toy intruments on the circle in the middle and they play tunes?

I'm not sure how much help I have been but if I think of any other ideas I'll let you know.
