I was worried yesterday Caitlyn hadn't fed enough... She obviously felt my concerns and remedied the situation by waking at 3 and 6 for feeds...:rolleyes:

She's been in the jumperoo again this morning and while I was in the kitchen making Aimee's porridge, all I could hear was the pair of them properly laughing together... Caitlyn's not really a laugher so it was very sweet... She loves her big sister soooooooooooooo much!:grinheart

Although the drawback of that is I'v popped her in the swing to see if she'll relax enough to sleep and Aimee keeps going to chat to her.... :rolleyes:

My hubby's doing overtime again today... It's nice he's doing it for the family... Well... For a new shed so we can get the dining room back at least... But I don't half miss [STRIKE]my Saturday morning lie in[/STRIKE] him...

Em I've got one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Family-Stewie-Pocket-Voice-Chain/dp/B000B91O14
We used to have little 'wars' at work (we did very little actual work at one particular company I 'worked' at!) some of the guys had other 'in my pocket' things like Mr T.
We also has promotional stress balls that spent most of their time being lobbed around the office when you were on an important call! :rotfl: no wonder it went under!

morning

no hope of catching up but read the last 10 pages!
Had a lovely evening curled up on the sofa reading a book last night, decided to stay up until 1am to feed Jack rather than go to bed, thinking I'll be up again at 5am and then 8 or 9.

But oh no! Mr Man decided to be a PITA - woke up like clockwork and had one bottle at 1am. Put him down at about 1.45am but he was having none of it - ended up having another half bottle @ 2.30am and then another full bottle at 4am :eek:

I've only just increased his bottles to 120ml!!!

Monday - can we leave any fondling until after Mr Glam is out of the area? Don't want him getting any ideas that I'm part of a weird boobie fondling group!

Speedy Chinese
For a quick, filling alternative to your Friday night takeaway, rustle up your own Chinese delights by heating some Fry Light in a wok, adding some chopped chicken or prawns, spring onions, red chilli, finely chopped ginger and crushed garlic, fry for a couple of minutes, then throw in a pack of mixed stir-fry veg from the supermarket. If you’re feeling adventurous, add other oriental delights like water chestnuts or lychees! Add lots of Soy sauce to taste, cook for 3 or 4 minutes and serve on a mound of boiled egg noodles.
