Hi Fiona,

I had to laugh when I read your message, I know exactly what you
mean about the little old ladies, my girls are now 81/2 months and I
still have to cover them up (poor little darlin's)to make shopping
easier, I know that they are only curious and amazed by our
multiples but what they dont understand is that it has taken hours
for you to get out of the house.

I too lived in Pj's for the first 3-4 months,I have made mysself a
rule now that I have to be in & out of the shower before my hubby
leaves for work or somedays I would never get there.

I look forward to catching up with you & meeting your little family
at the Coffee mornings and dont forget we are have a babies & Non
Walkers BBQ on the 17th December - check out your current Newsletter
for details.

Trish Deacon
