oh and also thinking to make the beanbags part of something like this...
thinking about making creepy crawly toys
(spider, carterpillar, bugs etc)
maybe call it "toys for boys" or something? (i want to market boys because there is so much girl stuff around)
also thinking that if all that goes well, can move onto boys book bags (with a skull or spider type applique/patch and maybe something like boys quilt and pillow cover sets (in the far far far future lol)
OMG Trudz - you typed it out? could you not have copy and pasted?

Thank you Pillow - that would have taken FOREVER!
Yep Luna, had a bubble bath, was fab!! Little boy is having a crapola day. Woke at 5am, 20min sleep at 8am, then 20min sleep at 12pm, then 1hr sleep at 3pm and just gone down. He's puking everywhere and the poo its not pleasant. Blimmin teething has a lot to answer for!
I'm sad too - I hope they don't delete them, there are a lot of memories in there!

Oh clever Katherine, thank you!
Trudz, you are very clever too, to find that list. Well done! NB; just a tiny thing, but Ewok was born at 7.20am. Can you change that wee deet? Thanks, lovey x
Is our old thread GONE? Noooooo!
Oh my, babies CRAWLING?! Ewok isn't even close to that yet. It's 'cos his brain is developing orsumly, don't you know
Lol M2H, the treasurer position is paid in powdered milk. Lol.
Kahlia, it would make me weep to see a line of toys called that (even though I think insect toys are an AWESOME IDEA! Your best yet!). Sorry, but I have to be honest. This is coming from a girl who's favorite toys as a kid were tin army trucks and a pair of stilts Oh, and climbing things. Ha ha ha.
I'm not an insect person myself, but I do know girls who are, and well, you know my passion for the Pink Stinks ethos. Please market your cool toys for girls, as well as boys. Not all girls only like princess themed toys, and I really believe it sends negative messages to our children to market toys according to gender.
That is all.
I forget what else has been said, I am all wrapped up in those thoughts now. Heh

and yup definitely want to market it towards girls aswell. just have no idea what to call it. i just thought toys for boys coz it rhymes and no imagination when it comes to me lol. always have plenty of awesome ideas for other people lol.

Oh, I should add; I got two free tickets to the Parent&Child show. Should I go? Eeerrrrr.....is it worth going if I have no $?
Which brings me to add ~ coffee group tomorrow. Is it just M2ET, Sasha and I? If so, do you girls want to come to our house? There is room for the babies to roll, and just enough room for 3 adults Just don't bring buggies or capsules in though. Heh.
If it's going to be any more than us 3, let's go the Coffee Club idea.

Hi everyone, I might come to coffee tomorrow if i can get away from work if its at the coffee club. I won't crash your place rette if there no room.
As for the old thread i did ask them not to delete it so hopefully it will just stay at the bottom. Someone could always copy and paste all the posts from the last thread into here
Feeling a bit flat at the moment so will say goodnight for now.

Either Coffee Club or Rette's is fine with me. Might be nice to not have to pay for coffee etc but I am not sure if Barb is coming- Sasha??
Rette- they normally have some free samples to give away at the P&C show, but it depends on easily you think you would be tempted to buy something. We went last year, but I think I am going to give it a miss this week (can't be bothered paying to go so I can spend even more money).
Tom has been such an angel today gone down for all his sleeps without a fuss and even had a 3rd sleep (which he hasn'.t for ages). I kept having to tell DH he is not normally this good.

id go to the show Rette - be a good day out of the house at the least and you might spot something to save up for, or get to talk to other babywearing and MCN using ladies and get some good ideas to try out

Lol M2ET Sorry, that was mean of me to offer up a free ticket, only to retract it. Meanie me.....sorry
Maybe by then I will have decided which sling I like best, and possibly I could pick up a really cheap one there? Although Dolce&Zoet isn't exhibiting, and so far their slings are in the beam of my gaze
Ok, so coffee at mine tomorrow. I'll PM y'all my address x

Rette - at least you can try all the other slings available, you might find a cheap funky super comfy one that trumps the look of a D&Z. and if not, then at least you know you wont want them and buy by trial and error

Phew, glad I turned the computer back on. Yeah Barb and Archie are coming and I told her it's at the Coffee Club. So can we leave it as that? It looks like there'll be too many of us for Rette's anyway.
I'll have a quick look in the morning to see what's going on but can someone text me and Barb if we're going to Rette's? Cheers.
