Hi everyone, not sure if this is the best place but just wanted to say hello and I'm new! I've been reading PP for about a year and a half now and only just got my butt in gear to get on the site and have a nosey around.

It looks like quite a friendly place and the site itself looks really comprehensive. Glad I managed to get on here

Just been reading the post about the new issue arriving and am glad i'm not the only one who devours the latest issue as fast as possible - I'm rubbish I can't take my time and savour it I have to read every word as soon as I get it! Only problem with that is you have to wait a while for the next one

Anyway, hi everyone

Claire, mum to Jamie just turned 1.

hi both of you. Im sort of new too. I was on here befor but couldnt get on that much, but now i can.

I have aboy of 4yrs. I know what you mean Luchy about there not being enuff time to go on here. I work part time in the afternoon and that is still too much. I think work should let me put a lap top and pay for the internet, just so i can talk to more interesting people like yourself's instead of talking to people who are poorly. I cant see that happening very soon though.

Oh well i will just have to cope with it being at my best friends.

Hope you are both well.

Kbarry have the little housework faires come and done all that house work for you yet?

speak to you both soon

lol point those fairies in my direction will you becky?! Ahh don't know how you have time for anything with 4 kids! You must be v. organised!

I have a Step daughter of 14 and my LO is just turned one last week.

Yeah, it's difficult to get on when something always pops up isn't it

Amazing what you can get done when they are asleep isn't it...

unfortunately I work at home so no excuse for me today - having my lunch break though so thought i'd log back on.

The snow does look fantastic - my LO is wondering what on earth is going on with all the white stuff falling on his head!

Hi Rainbow mummy sounds like you guys have had a fun morning! Can't wait till my LO is old enough to play in the snow.

Speak to you all soon
