either when a child or whenever? Mine was when I was about 7 yrs old. I know now, but didn't then that my parents had very little money, but my stepfather made me by hand, a beautiful doll's cot and painted it pink - I can still see it to this day. It may have been the cheapest pressie they ever gave me, but it was the best.

East Point Lady Isn't that often the way? One of mine would be 4 years ago, waiting in the hospital on Christmas Eve for our first grandchild to be born. He made his appearance at 9.45 p.m. Then driving back home in the early hours of Christmas morning with Christmas carols playing on the radio. Angela

How lovely Caz and Angela to have a baby born near Xmas, but your reply Jess brought a tear to my eye - that must have been so sad for you all.

Yes EPL, it was lovely, but I do feel sorry for the lad with his birthday on Christmas Eve. Jess - you brought a tear to my eye. Angela
