I sent a message out to my facebook friends so maybe one of them forwarded it on to you. I'm glad they did! Any chance you could tell me who? I'm just interested. You can sent me a personal message if you don't want to announce it!

I live in Westcliff, close the the Palace Theatre/Westcliff Library.

The rest of the family (my mum and three brothers) decided to move this way, so being a family girl at heart decided to follow. Great area though. Hope you're glad you've moved this way. I know it can take a while to settle in properly. Oh, I do really like it here. I know the area quite well, but ...

thank u, yea we had a few names and we both wanted somethin different but none of the other names suited him. im guessing that pic is of felix he is gorgeous. its really good to be on a site where there is mums near me. i think it's a nice mix of being unusual but not ridiculous or trendy.

Hi Chevonne, great to meet you. I love the name Tobias! It was on my list of names when we were expecting Felix but Kester wasn't so keen.

Felix first slept through at about a month, but doesn't do so anymore and he's eight months now! I think it changes so much it's not worth worrying about - she'll find her own schedule eventually!

BTW - your avatar is a bit big (not to mention terrifying). Any chance you can resize it?

I have been to one called Bumblebees which is quite fun. it's at Earls Hall Church and has a health visitor weigh in too. It's very busy though and can be a bit difficult to talk to other mums, but the kids enjoy it! I tried Bumblebees too and Felix loved it. I also found it difficult to talk to th...

Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing other pictures, so I don't look like such a photo hog!

Heard any funny names recently? Anything that made you think "Nooooo!" and consider calling social services?

Anyone know of any good ones? What do you like about them?
