I know it is only soon but maybe we could have some kind of baby shower a little later on, we are all huge fans of yours and I think pretty much all of us like creating things in one form or another so perhaps we could all be thinking of a small gift that at some point we can send to Fergus, if you don't mind that is Weezl?

Congratulations Weezl and Acetate Monkey and fab idea Sian the Green - if the Weezl household okays the idea I'd definitely be thrilled to have a way of saying "thank you" for all the informationa and advice that i've gleaned from this thread. Also, it has cheered me up.

LOL! I certainly will!!! Very soon at the rate of eating I'm managing at the moment!:rotfl:

What fab pics and thank you all for your lovely messages. Even luring the lurkers out, I am honoured!

Tomorrow we are doing a birthday tea for ISOM, thought you might like to see the menu... ISOM look away now if you want a surprise!

saag aloo- spinach and potato in a cumin and tomato sauce
peshwari aloo gobi - sweetish and coconutty curry with califlower, potato and ginger
keema dhansak - minced lamb with green tomatoes, spices
tandoori chicken thigh - marinated in yoghurt, chilli, ginger, lemon and garlic and then roasted in a hot oven
rice
home made naan


chocolate torte

I really hope she likes it! Is it bad form to post costings for someone else's birthday meal?

Evening all

Well Im chuffed to little mintballs Hubby got out of work early so we went to the patch of blackberries we have been lovingly searching and picking for the last few weeks..got a few -but nothing much.. on the way home I thought I saw some across 2 lanes of traffic and through some trees hubby turned round and went back -and I was right :j Not bad for someone who wears glasses and is still useless at seeing long distance :rotfl: but them little beauties I saw ..there is about a 1/2 mile stretch -behind some woods, off the road and on a nice little path -involving no scrambling through thorns..so we got 2lbs ..and will be going back next week and every weekend until they are NO more .. They will be stewed with my freebie apples and frozen tomorrow :T
Had pasta bake for dinner..so roasted off loads of tomatoes, chillies, courgettes, patty pan, peppers and aubergines -all out of the garden -so have 3 more bags stashed in the freezer

right i will get off to the sewing again.. oh and by the way - I have a small confession... I always thought weezle would be someone in their 40s/50s ...oopppsy ...she is younger than me (just looked in your profile):o :rotfl: ..sorry weezle

Decorating aside, I must now confess to another thing which has kept me from posting so much of late.

It would appear that a small Weezl is on the way. I am 13.5 weeks pregnant.





What were we to do? I ate all the meals in the freezer I could keep down:eek:, and then hit a dilemma. I couldn't tell you all, cos it felt too soon as family and friends didn't know yet. I couldn't cheat, as I am a woman of my word.

Much head scratching ensued....

Acetate Monkey, protective of miserable food-hating me, and concerned for the development of Fergus the foetus (his current nickname:eek:) concocted a plan.

It's 50p per person per day, quoth he...you won't have cheated if you eat another 50p. He in fabulously magnanimous fashion has remained true to his 50p throughout:o. (although Fergus gave him a bowl of muesli t'other day!)

So, that's what I decided to do. I really hope I haven't let anyone down and have remained true to the spirit of the challenge. I have lots more geeky maths related to how to get enough calcium etc for pregnancy on my new plan!

I felt if I posted my daily figures before, the game would be up, but if you'll all still have me, I shall continue to post away in earnest!;)

Other facts you might like to know, due date 05/03/09. Scan was wednesday and heart and limbs were all present and correct.

Love to you all, and may I beg your forgiveness for my secrecy?:D

CONGRATULATIONS our weezl........hmmmm....says she - remembering how several of us were querying whether you were some weeks ago (me and ISOM and I think there mighta been one or two others). Well....we'll forgive 'ee lass....I did wonder if summat besides decorating was going on chez Weezl:D

Well......have you got any idea JUST how many honorary godmothers - and perhaps one or two godfathers - weazlette is going to have:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

O'course we'll forgive 'ee m'dear...:D
