I’m afraid there is no web address as yet, they are just selling a test batch before setting up their company and trading properly, but I might be able to obtain one for you (cost is about € 30, they are made out of real leather I believe) if you are willing to pay price + postage.

Drop me an email and I’ll see what I can do.

My little brother is 15 years younger than me — we ALL got used to finding the odd high heel in he refridgerator (Mum didn’t tie it shut with rope, which is what she did when I was Tadpole’s age).

I love the iDoll snakeskin! Luvverly! Like Lux said, do they have a web address?

Sorry petite, but I won’t be subsidising your friends’ business as I am allergic to wearing headphones/sound-transmitting earpieces outside work. It had never occurred to me until I read this post that the true sign of my son growing up was my purchase of a Zanussi fridge in gorgeous blue (exactly my favourite shade), a magnet free zone. Before that we had the standard white affair with those large coloured letters and numbers jumbled randomly or with messages. It is only a matter of time and everything will go back to normal (and you will feel the inevitable twinge of nostalgia for the mess), unless, of course, you succumb to Tadpole Two, in which case you will discover that the chaos does not merely double, but increases exponentially (or so I am reliably informed by parents of multiple offspring).

I would like to say, at this juncture, that the comments section of this website may be used in a similar way to expatica date, on one condition : you get it on, I get a hefty ‘facilitator’s fee’.

And cass, welcome back! You were one of my very first commenters, and it’s lovely to see you still stop by!

My DD watches enough cartoons (Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, & Spongebob) that there was no way I was going to continue to turn her mind into sludge with that craptastic kids music.

She now prefers “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Green Day. She also likes the rock music from “Shrek” & “Shrek II,” and Evanescence.

We listen to rock music in the car, period, end of story. Heh.

l’autre – chuck us a mail to this address, with a Rennes-related subject line.

God, this feels like subterfuge!

Anyway, Petite, while YOU’RE away…! Won’t happen again…

Its been said before but your blog certainly strikes a chord!!

The use of Ipods for storing children’s music “just in case” is a very recent devolpement in our household. Following a recent holiday my Ipod now also has various nursery rhymes to trap me when shuffling. So far as the disappearance of important items is concerned, our 2 1/2 year old has developed an uncanny knack of making keys (usually the only set of car keys) disappear in to thin air. Very impressive unless location of said keys require a 3 hour search and recovery mission (on the very thin ledge between the outside letter box flap and the inside letter box flap since you ask).

(apologies to Petite)
Jim – very kind, would be fun! We’re just outside Rennes on the western side. How can we get in touch without broadcasting email addresses to the entire virtual world?

[QUOTE]I ease my tired limbs between the bedsheets, and then sit up, startled. After the removal of one plastic toy telephone, one TV remote control and one rag doll, the coast is clear. Except for the Miffy book lurking under my pillow, which I only discover the following morning.[/QUOTE]

I think thats rather sweet. She’s obviously trying to help you sleep better. You need the phone in case she wants to call you at night time, the remote in case you wake in the night and cant sleep and the ragdoll because no doubt tadpole has enough dolls in her bed and would like mummy to have one too. The book is incase you wake up early morning and dont see anything on tv and want to expand your mind a bit by reading Miffy. Just a thought :)
