Huh. The only thing that might work as baby Prozac on our baby is Prozac. I know it’s a bit of a cliche for parents to say “Where do they get their energy?” but, seriously, where in the sam hell is she getting her energy?

And worth every penny, IMO. Baby prozac.

Daisy’s getting pop-up musical Pontipines. About this time of year, I suspect the Night Garden might be the BBC’s biggest single income stream.

My local Tesco had a brilliant strategy in place the other day for defusing shoppers’ tempers: Abba. Loud. Resistance is futile, you will dance in the aisles.

Merry Christmas – can’t wait to see the wee one’s face tomorrow morning when she meets her dancing Igglepiggle.

I do it if I'm by meself, as I have to finish loading the conveyor belt before I can go down the other end and start packing. But it makes no sense when there are two of you. If I were the checkout man I'd've asked her to repeat herself, then asked her to apologise, and then I'd've refused to serve her if she didn't. Went to Santa's Cottage on Sunday. Fantastic. It just doesn't get much Christmasier than that.

>> the piling of everything in the shopping trolly onto the checkout into a smallest space possible.

I do this, but only because it means the checkout person is slower at pricing each item, giving me time to bag everything.

I have found a closing of the eyes and and ipod works wonders at this time of year, if anything I slow down. The torn faced boot as you call her will be forever unhappy, and she will never know why.

A thing to watch for which always amuses me, whatever time of the year, is the piling of everything in the shopping trolly onto the checkout into a smallest space possible. I do want to say to those ppl, ‘piling all that stuff like that will make you get out of the shop quicker’, I take the time to spread everything out only 1 item deep.

happy kwanzaa, hanukkah, yule, festival of the nu light, xmas & a merri next year
