Your challenge is to create a valentines gift to make someone feel loved on valentines day. Make someones day. You don't have to be amazingly crafty.. you could write a letter of thanks or bake some cakes.

Deadline: Pictures to be shown here 12th February. Lets share the love

My pics .... (hoping to catch the deadline)

Little (ok so not so little) hamper of red ... completely random items ....



Little pot of love for OH

RustyFlange

Ahh Scattymam.. Kids are so cute at this age!! My daughter has a habit of BURSTING in when you're on the toilet, usually clapping saying 'WELL DONE!! You did a biiiggg wee wee on the toilet!!' When she came in the other day she noticed I had some err.. hair.. and said 'DADDY.. what are you doing down there, get up!!' She wouldn't clear off and leave it either. KIDS!

I had to run to the loo cross legged..........got there in time thou!! ah bless her.
Where is mum2one??

Woke up this morning and puked everywhere. Was supposed to make a card but had the parents here all day and then when I sat down to craft and take a pic for you all I heard Emily puking all over her bed. I wasnt quite prepared for the mess when I got in there. KIDS!!

Is there anything you may need to tell us!!!

I am so tired right now I feel like my head is going to explode from the migraine pressure.

Hope your feeling better, u need to take things easy, you work to hard, and are always running around after family.

I'm here, been hetic day, dd at docs 9am - she has german measles, then take mum up for physio 12.30, my appointment was 1.30, so cheated and had some chips from the chippie and sat in the car and eat them! not very healthy sat outside the docs, then parents evening tonight, apparently dd is top of the class, perfect angel, lovely child to teach, above average in subjects, ..........I'm thinking I must have devil child at home!! (only joking,), bless her her front and back is all spotty, xx

Mum2one you sound as busy as Mel!! ... hope your DD is feeling better soon ..... it must be horrible, I remember when my little one had chicken pox ... 6 months old and she was awful to the point I struggled to even pick her up cause of the pain

mum2one

Oh hugs to everyone who is poorly or is looking after poorly littles!!

I have had a lovely day, had a big breakfast out one of those huge buffet tiype places that has everything including puds and icecream, the kids think they are in heaven!! Then we went to Disney Quest which is 5 floors of interactive games, including trad games machines like pacman, virtual computer games, simulators, animation and song writing areas etc etc my dear boy age 7 now really thought he was in heaven!! Then it was off to the Magic Kingdom which I missed out on last week when I was poorly. I was so excited!! I really love the parades and the fireworks over the castle were so fantastic I nearly cried!!! It's even more special as it's our last night in Orlando as we are heading down to the coast tomorrow, so will have some relaxing days before coming back to the cold and snow!!

Will catch up with you all again soon xxx
