    Hey all, thanks for the hugs earlier. I was feeling better but I've slumped again now! Mr G is off to work in a bit and I need to take DD1 to dancing but I just want to stay at home and do nothing so I feel a bit mean :confused:

    Need enthusiasm to feed everyone now. Get fed up of hearing "yuck" every evening and I refuse to give in all the time!

    Oooh, thanks Pigpen, forgot about that... :D

    Right, I'm off to sit for 2 hours on the M25 car park that is my journey home... wish me luck (although I shan't need it in my shiny new car, coz it is mine and they're not having it back, coz it's mine and that's it!) ....

    I need to get off this chair but it is too cold. Came home to a not at all well pc and it has taken me hours to sort it. 5pm and nothing done yet.

    We only have three working radiators and the house is freezing. Fire is on but I am going to run out of wood shortly. Snow has been and gone - very pretty but also very cold.

    Right, must get on, might get the hoover out as the warmest option. DS1 suggested ironing but I did most of that last night. They aren't cold - but I have blue fingers.

    johanne nice to see you. Is Sarah mobile yet? Sam is wriggling about quite a bit now, so a nightmare - can't leave him unsupervised for very long not even in the bouncy chair - he has also mastered the baby walker in the past week. :rolleyes:

    Shes a wiggly worm... rolling everywhere and wiggling across the floor cant leave her unattended for 2 seconds! :rolleyes: She has tried to crawl but cant master lifting her little chubby belly off the floor so she just kinda pivots on it... arms and legs thrashing fifty to the dozen kinda looks like a demented starfish:rotfl: :rotfl:

    She can pull herself around on her belly using her arms only though kinda "army crawl" style usually chasing her new favourite toy... an empty 2L Fanta bottle with a handful of dried chick peas in it :confused:
