We are buying for family kids only this year and my god son and his sister. But that is 12 kids ranging from 9months (by christmas) and 11 years old. I don't think it's being scrooge, just sensible. We are finding things tight at it is with out starting the new year in more debt. Kerry, Freya and Erin. X X X

That poem is great, really like it. MrsS1258- i was laughing to myself when ur post was talkign about your brother and his wife...we have the same EVERY year with my uncle, he buys us all a load of crap every year, loads of it too like ornaments and stuff, we just dont need it, yet he always asks us to buy good stuff for him!! Family eh!!!

When Aiden was 27 weeks(8th oct) he weighed in at 16 lbs 4 oz he's not due to be weighted again till the 8th of dec! but he has piled the weight on!! lol he loves his grub! i'm looking forward to seeing what he weighs he's in 6-9 months clothes but won't be long and he'll be in 9-12 months!

jacob adores waybuloo - he smiles at the tv when it's on. I do worry about him watching too much as I often have it on in the background, but most of the time he ignores it (until he hears the waybuloo music!!)

Abby isn't having it. My mum's a nurse and she said there is no need to have it. Also I have a friend who is a children's nurse, and another is a midwife - and neither of them are giving it to their LO's. I know some children are very poorly with SF, but most children do just get a bad cold (about half who get it will have no symptoms at all). I think it has all been really hyped up personally - but that is just my...

I don't think Ella will have it. A friend of ours is a paedeatrician (sp?) and she has spoken to her boss and they have both agreed that their children aren't going to have it as it hasn't been tested well enough to know the long term affects, if any. I am thinking of going on their advice as they will have seen children with it, and if they aren't giving it to their own children after that they must be concerned!

I like that!! Oh so true, but in all honesty, how many of us would do it differently?!? I would love to spend less, and wanted to just do gifts for the babies in the family this year, but hubby said no, called me scrooge!!! LOL Next year though, I will definately be telling one of my brothers and his wife not to bother though as I get fed up of being bought crap that really does go in the bin (sounds spoilt I know, but they are a right pair...

don't worry, baby tv or cbeebies is fine - my (almost 3) son watches it a lot but still plays loads and runs around and is very sociable. he's also learnt lots from it (numbers, colours, shapes, nouns, adjectives - even in french as i also put french cartoons on for him cos i'm bringing him up bilingually). at the end of the day, if it makes your life easier and lets you get on with the chores, etc. (and providing he isn't...
