Hi Ann M:
I'm sorry, when i typed duvet, i meant duvet cover....LOL...I think that what we call comforter in the U.S, you call Duvet in the U.K. It is the same thing but different names....LOL

"I just tested dh to see if he knew what a comforter was ... he said "Isn't that what a baby puts in its mouth?" "
We call those type of "comforters" ,pacifiers, binki's,or nuks
ps how do you do the quote's in a box?

Hey Brocksmom and WE call them a 'dummy' !! ... ;D To get the quote in a box hit the "quote" button on the post you want to quote... which is found at the top of each reply... This will automatically bring up a box for you to reply in ... plus the quote you want ... Just add your reply underneath it ... Not sure if I explained that very well !!  ... Let us know if you need further clarification! |
