    Sami, I've iced christmas cakes with the ready rolled out stuff... You can get it in Tesco. It's next to the stuff in a block but its in a longer thinner box (like a cling film box) and it's rolled out in a circle I think. Really easy to do and looks pretty good... Best tip I heard was ice the cake upside down, then the top is always flat...

    Waiting to hear back from the lady with the sylvanian tree to see if we can go and fetch it this afternoon... And my Aunt said she's willing to fetch the cot that is near her if I win it on eBay... Finishes in an hour...

    We went out for lunch today, wasn't planned but after a hectic morning it was very welcome... I decided to teach Hubby a lesson this morning... After I said to him "I've only got 10mins before we need to leave for church" I gave him Aimee's clothes to bring down and then I get myself and Caitlyn dressed and tried to feed her, brush my hair etc... When I got downstairs, hubby was sitting comatose in front of his Xbox, Aimee was dancing around the living room in her pyjamas... So I just said "right I'm off then" and left him to it... I think he might be a bit more helpful next time rather than leaving me to sort both girls out...

    No way , he was probably happier on the Xbox :D

    I would be :D

    Oh I know he was happier on the XBox... He doesn't generally come to church unless there's a special event on... But he does appreciate his 2hours family free time on a Sunday morning... This morning he got 2hours quality time with the 5 year old instead :p

    Ooh, thought so... We have the top tier of our wedding cake saved... StepMIL will be taking the icing off and re-icing... And quite possibly doing an extra bottom layer to make it two tier...

    We're in deadlock over Caitlyn's dedication at the moment... Over God Parents... Hubby's idea of God Parents and mine differ slightly... I'm not going to organise anything until we can agree...

    Bleh, Amber has been feeding all day so I caved and gave her what I had expressed this morning and some formula. 3oz guzzled and she was still looking for more. Don't know if it;s related to all her feeding but I have some seriously painful menstrual type cramp. I want a bath but DH is on back shifts so won't be home till midnight. Painkillers swallowed.

    She's probably upping your supply mate, best way to get through it is keep feeding, the more you feed, the quicker your supply will catch up with her...
