I never left and my house is still a disgrace!!

And no.. I'm not a granny.. (this is getting a tad tedious now!) The baby isn't DS1's I did go check when he was born lol. bedding would be grand.. she has got 2 sheets and about 4 small blankets!

He he, think you'll just have to be an adopted granny now pigpen - after all, you're doing all the work of one and plus you get to have the cuddles and lovely bits that go with it too...;) :rotfl: I may have some stuff, well actually my friend, so I will sort some out and send it on when I can... (passing it forward greenbee...:D )

Valli

I just checked and I have a big ball of blue wool in my knitting bag - destiny methinks.

:hello: scaredy - welcome back! lots of people just post and don't catch up on all the thread, you'll be back in order in no time!

LG - sounds nasty with DH, be careful as these allergies can get worse over time. Prawns are well known for allergic reactions.

lovely lunch with DH, nice quiet coffee shop and no screaming kids , I then popped to Mr S (again - oops) so am now 100% sorted until Mr T comes on Thurs. except i forgot the stamps!

boddy - mr s has 16 for 12 on loo rolls at the moment.

DH was just about to watch the cricket but it has been delayed a bit so he's doing some more work until it starts. I'll get on with my list when it starts.

pigpen, great to hear the cheque has arrived! I'd definately get DS GF an appointment with Welfare Rights, if she's being cared for by the local authority THEY should be dealing with this, the social worker should be ensuring they are getting their entitlements. Makes me so angry when there is support, directly, she should have had her baby grant by now to by the cot/pram etc which is about £500 I think. It shouldn't be so hard for her to buy things because she should be getting the financial support, when it's sorted she should get backpay which will probably be a lot (if she's useless with money a little advice might help), unfortunately seems noones shown her how to apply and helped her through it. My sister had a baby at the same age and even back then when support was less it was pretty easy to pay for everything she needed and have money left over, just frustrating when you know it's there and they haven't managed to access it yet. Wish I had stuff left, what was left Matthew got I think and she's parted with his little things already. Oh and my boys fave granny is their step granny

I managed to complete my list, took a bit longer than expected. I've now got lunch, boys eaten tomato and basil soup, yes both of them, DS1 ate soup! Not HM I am afraid, gave in to Covent Garden ones as I love them, but great that he's eaten it, I'm sat here thrilled even if he's covered himself and the floor due to his poor motor skills.

Oh and I am so pleased it is half term as I have a cold starting and my 'bit of tooth' the dentist left in ages ago because he couldn't get it out is wobbly and swolen..........infection I think so next HHC will include hunting for ABs, sure I have some somewhere....

msgnomey www.chartjungle.com has similar free ones too

Happy Birthday Vanilla

Pigpen, it will be a minor miracle if I have any baby stuff but I will have a look. Maybe some bits of 12 month plus toys rather than anything useful.

Waiting for DH to stop so I can start clearing upstairs. At least the snow is melting so I can get to the rubble sacks ready for the skip. Boys are v excited that they will be home when the skip lorry comes.

AnWsMum I hope your feeling has subsided now, and the reason for it becomes clear, and that the reason isn't unpleasant. I know exactly what you mean, and used to get that a lot. It's not good is it. Hope it resolves soon. (((hugs)))
st for the brood. :wave:

Hi Everyone :hello:

We were awake in enough time to make it to Sunday school this morning. After church we went to Hobbycraft after calling in here for a change of clothes for Miss A, she went flying across the road we were crossing and scuffed herself and her trousers and fleece. She is ok just a bit shaken by it. Bought a pack of hama boards and some more beads and a foam areoplane kit for W to paint and make.

Thanks SS it seems there are several of us no here with phsysic tendencies. I am feeling much more like my usual self today

Glad to here LL is starting to feel better.

Glad you had a good time last night Valli.

Pigpen I shall have a root around in the loft for Jacob.

Toots you can keep Sean but Pierce is all MINE

Julie I have seen the email from DD will get show Miss A later, keep an eye out

Hugs to anyone I have missed

Happy Birthday Vanilla
Glad LL is doing well
And Pigpen, I think I have a few sheets/cellular blankets spare, will have a looksee tomorrow, think I've got some cream/lemon ones somewhere.

Today I have been to church and Tesco, skimmed through the thread and waiting for the Ireland game to start. OH said he was feeling better this morning but still not 100%, but it hasn't stopped him going to the pub!!!

Hope everyone is well, Half term here this week so lazy mornings here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
