    Searching - go on do it!!!

    We have one of them bouncers but I think I want a different one now!! Problem is buying things too early u change your mind so much :rotfl:
    A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

    Where does the time go? :think:
  • hmmmmmmmmmm DID maybe i'll wait a little longer then :rotfl: zoe had one very very simluar to it and it saved my life she was never happy unless she as in it :D x


    Hahahah what terrible parents we are..sticking them in a chair all day to keep them happy :rotfl:

    Id stick him in one now if they made one big enough!! :rotfl:

    To be fair he was so content when he was in it..He just adored sitting in it even when it wasnt moving...i think because it gave him a good view of what was going on..and it was really easy to move room to room so if i need to wash up or do cleaning he could always see me.
    Having a coke with you
    is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
    or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Right, I've just popped on as I'm having a busy day and still loads to do.

    Led worship at church this morning, then we went to John Lewis to exchange a bread bin that had warped (actually cos I put it next to the rad but they didn't need to know that!) and then we got distracted by a lovely £25 porcelain roasting pan so we bought that as well :o then came home, cooked lunch and OH watched the footie while I did work, proper work :(

    I've now done three hours of it and am having a break while I cook the roast dinner and then I have probably about another 5-6 of work and a 9am deadline!

    Not sure what is best - stay up late till it's one, or work this evening and go to bed as normal, then get up super-early to finish off?

    I can only do about three hours without a break as it's copyediting and I have to refresh my eyes and brain after a while.

    I keep reminding myself it is £25 an hour otherwise I'd go mad!

    I personally would hate to have my b-day around Christmas (poor bean! :p). I love my summer bday because then it's less between presents! hahahahah

    Skinty, I'd stay up and get it finished tonight. I know you'll be knackered, but at least you will be able to go to bed and not have to worry about getting up earlier and tackling it then! :)

    Jamie was due on 17 December but decided he wanted to wait until after Christmas! I had to open all his xmas gifts on his behalf :rotfl:.

    I really didn't mind what day he chose as long as it wasn't Christmas Day itself ;).
