Small son has just come in and told me he was going to give me my morning hug and kiss - which he did!! Would like to be able to bottle that moment and get it out whenever I wanted!!

There's too many to choose from but just recently I have made contact with my dads brother who had been put into a childrens home when he was born. In May of this year he came from Aussie to meet us all.sadly we only got a couple of hours with him,to cram 74 years into 2 hours is very difficult so thats what i'd like in a bottle and bring him out now and again. Its just not the same by e.mail. Angie

I would need half a dozen bottles because I would love to preserve the moments when I first held each of my babies.

Angie - Any chance of getting to Oz so you get some more 'moments'? Grampa Jim - such precious moments aren't they - can still remember the first time I held my baby like it was yesterday - such a precious moment as we had waited a long time for him and it was hard to believe he was actually there!!

I'd choose the moment I held both my sons for the first time, too. And when I wanted a laugh I would relive the time my dad told my uncle George - a civil servant and known in the family for having no sense of humour and being a prude - the joke about the civil servant and the couple of b*stards! nell

For our wedding anniversary (St Valentines day) a couple of years ago my husband took me to Paris and we had a candlelit dinner on a boat which cruised down the Seine whilst a band played. I have never felt so special before or since! Julie xxx

Feeling my children kick when i was pregnant along with the first time i held them. Every time they hug and kiss me and tell me they love me (same in return). Knowing my mum is my best friend. The first time i sat and spoke to my husband in a pub, It was as if the whole world disappeared and we were the only ones left. We still get that feeling now. All my special bottle moments are owed to the all the people in my life, and the unconditional LOVE !
