    Argh, just seen a cat wandering down my hallway.. We don't have a cat!! :eek:

    The builders have knocked out the bay window and taken it to the tip now so I have a huge hole on the front of my house so the cat must have jumped through there and been wandering around!
    Aww it must be a friendly one to have come in, just shoo it out :)

    I think my squealing got rid of it - by the time I'd got there, it was sat on the drive again!

    To made it worse, I was expressing at the time and didn't press the Off button to stop the pump before I jumped up - big ouch! :(:o

    LOL, That's why I'm sat here with my hair tied up with massive roots and my fridge jibbing me in the eye :p I only trust 'my' hair dresser but Ed only goes 2hrs between feeds in the day and I'm usually in the chair for about 3!! I don't fancy sitting there with foils in trying to feed him and being able to watch myself in the mirror :rotfl: I really need to try him with a bottle but I kinda like being the only one that he needs :o

    Dontcha just hate it when that happens ;)



    Benjamin only needs me...but it is nice that he doesn't ALWAYS need me IYSWIM ;):D

    Yeah I had thought about it, but everytime I swap hairdressers my blonde never matches! :confused: And then it takes a little while to 'calm down'
    On Saturday there is a charity spin class at David Lloyd and then a barbeque at some rich guys mansion (Who happens to be a hairdresser) and I dont want to go and have stripy hair around all the 'beautiful people' LoL
    Have just been looking online for a mobile hairdresser but have chickened out, will see if my bro can have Joshua and will have to take Lexi with me, they always say its no problem taking the baba but its stressful :rotfl:

    Awww I would have your kiddies for you:) No idea where you are in Cheshire, so probably miles from me?

    Right... elle I don't suppose it was a big fat black tom cat? Mines gone ruddy walkabout! He obviously knows he's off to the vet this afternoon so has decided to go and hide somewhere grrrrr
    He usually goes out for a morning widdle and when comes back for some grub but DH unbeknown to me fed him before letting him out - I could scream... I really could!

    *goes off mumbling about husbands and stupid cats who won't see that going to the vet isn't for MY amusement but his sake*

    Cats round here are weird. They chase us.

    We used to get 20p from the tooth fairy. The dentist told me you get double for adult teeth so I got 40p for them. I think it eventually went up to 50p for my youngest two brothers as I vaguely remember my mum telling me and my other brother that she was doing it because she didn't want us to think it was unfair that they were getting more than we did.

    Is it a full moon again or something? Alice woke up twice last night. The first time she was thirsty and did settle back. The second time she was requesting flapjack (she had some on Saturday 'cause we got Boots meal deal with the points) so we gave her a slice of bread and butter but she was still calling for us so OH ended up going and sleeping in her room. We were going to go swimming this morning but got up so late in the end that we didn't have time.

    Hurrah! I've just managed to make my dinner (well, a sandwich!) AND eat it while Caitlyn's asleep in the moses basket! Managed to put washing in the dryer and another load in the washer. Put the dishes away and put the mop and bucket away. DH phones every day while he's at work to see how I am. I can always tell when he's with someone though as he'll try to be 'funny' and say yes well make sure you get the housework done! He cut the grass yesterday, cleaned the guinea pig and rabbit out, got the moss off the extension roof and cleaned the patio - I normally like to do the grass myself cos he just starts at the outside and goes round and round till he gets to the middle. I like me stripes!

    It's throwing it down here. I'd love to get the pushchair out and get out the house for a bit - no chance! Did your bubbas take a while to settle in the pram? Mine doesn't really settle well in it - not sure if it's just because she's so young? If I put her in the car seat then put it on the pushchair when we get to where we're going, she's usually fallen asleep, but if she wakes up she won't settle back down. I know I shouldn't but I do feel a bit embarrassed when I'm pushing her along and she's crying her eyes out! I tried her with a dummy the other day as she often uses me for comfort. She can be laid there for ages falling asleep and not sucking, but if I take her off she wakes up and cries. Anyway she wasn't having any of it! I tried a few times but every time she just spits it out, so I'll leave it for a while now.

    elle - the cat from next door climbed on top of our bay window once meowing. We had the windows open and she jumped in onto the windowsill. DH said don't let her in or you'll have all the other cats coming in too!

    I've been trying to get a Tommee Tippee CTN breast pump but they've never got one at Morrisons! I've looked on Amazon and a seller has one for £4 with £5.97 delivery. Will that be a genuine one for £4? Even with the delivery it's cheaper than Morrisons. It says the item is new and the seller has 100% positive feedback. I'm just a bit dubious because of the price.

    They were only £10 in the Asda baby event and sometimes they sell things off half price at the end of the event.. Maybe they got it cheaper then :)

    Have you tried the TT website? Sometimes things are super cheap on there. Micro steriliser was just £6 last time I looked but £25 in Asda when the baby event isn't on.
