I should be in my bed, I've got right into this FlyLady malarkey so I took all the books off my (floor to ceiling, full wall) shelves earlier, cleaned the shelves then got fed up so my living room looks like a library fell into it. Need to put them all back before the sprogs get up. Ugh! Me and my bright ideas!

:rotfl: That's my kind of tidy.. I've got half done tidying jobs all over the house! :rolleyes:

At least it wasn't you that ruined my surprise
(I figured he would post about it, that's why I don't read his posts... I really love surprises!!!!)

I knew it was a secret It absolutely kills me to keep secrets but I can do it

Elle Chris currently loves painting/drawing, building, reading and doing jigsaws so any of those things.
The Entertainer have Fireman Sam games and puzzles reduced to £2.50 and £3 so you could get him 2 or 3 http://www.thetoyshop.com/SuperSavings/Games
Or I think I'm gonna get Chris a personalised jigsaw from this ebay seller http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390049922598

Thanks for the loveliness on FB girls!
Nighty night xxx

Ta for those Love the jigsaws but I need it for Saturday - nowt like last minute with me!

Had seen this - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/catalogId/1500001801/partNumber/3491843/Trail/searchtext%3EAQUADRAW.htm - which I quite like as then he can't make too much mess, plus they do do a lot of long car journeys. It's for one of my work friends' little ones - she'll get me back in a few years if I get anything too messy or noisy!

Plus it's on 2 for £15 so I could get one for OH's mate's son for Christmas

*realises that kind of behaviour was more appropriate in the Arms, and gets dressed quickly before anyone notices

thanks krystal, i will have a look at ikea. i just want something that will do for now, as i dont mind getting her a bed later (oh that's nice of me isn't it, not having a problem with getting her somewhere to sleep )

:rotfl:

Actually Alice doesn't have a bed at the moment. We initially put her on a mattress on the floor so that she could get used to a big bed without the worry of her falling out with the plan being to then get a bed frame to go with it. Then when she wasn't sleeping, OH slept on the mattress and we put her on the cot mattress and now she always chooses to sleep on that rather than the big one so now we're making a bed to fit the cot mattress.

MFD due to the anual fee plus crap economy, Chris's CTF is now not worth the 250 he started off with :rolleyes:

Same with Alice's but it should pick up eventually and it's all free money anyway.

Aimee got £500 because I'm on the poverty line... I think Caitlyn might get the extra too... Won't know till April...

Although the international standard for poverty is a household income below 60% of the average (median) wage, IIRC the standard they use for this varies according to how many children you have. Apparently we're below the "poverty" line too so Alice got the extra. If we're ever above it for future children we're just going to put the extra in ourselves so they're all the same.

Can I have a little moan?

My wonderful hubby has been busily arranging a big surprise for my birthday (It's a big one this year) and I love a good surprise... And he's terrible at keeping secrets... So I already knew that we were going to London and he was taking his Dad and StepMum with us to watch the children while we did something just the 2 of us... He was making out that with paying for the hotel and train tickets for us and for them too (he offered to pay thinking they would refuse but they didn't...) it would be something low key like a meal...

His Dad and StepMum came down today for a visit and his Dad went to hand Hubby and envelope earlier saying: The tickets for the show and the train are in there... Right in front of me... I'm over the moon we're going to see a show (and not even in the cheap seats!!!!) But so gutted that my surprise has gone That's my big present too so there's nothing exciting to open on the day....

My OH is not very good at not giving things away. He accidentally gives hints such that usually I've worked it out (but I don't tell him). One time I said to him, "I think you're making me a..." and he said, "How did you know?" I was like, "I didn't know and you weren't meant to tell me," so now I've learnt my lesson and avoid talking about them in advance.

One time we went on a mystery trip but we knew where it was and weren't supposed to let on that we knew because someone had secretly unofficially told my Auntie. We were all standing there waiting for the bus and he just couldn't stop himself from talking about the place we were going to. He just kept on doing it without realising even though he was trying not to.

:rotfl: Morning Tigs..

Sleep would have been nice although Rhys had other ideas :rolleyes: Of course now I'm up he's fast asleep.. I'm not impressed! Just waiting for all his bottles to finish sterilising then I can finish making up his bottles for today and pack him off to Grandmas.

On the bright side, I've managed brekkie before 8am Onwards and upwards..

Hope you have a fab day Tigs! xx

i'm with MFD and AF, i havent done seths CTF either

i dont know where i put the voucher when we moved either :o:o

YAY on izzy's tooth!

krystal i want a carpet sweeper so i can use it when seth is napping!! are they actually any good though? they remind me of caravan holidays (like haven etc) where they supply you with one in the same bright colours as the vile duvet covers so you cant/wouldnt want to smuggle them out :rotfl:

MFD, i know exactly how you feel about leaving benjamin to go to work, i think we all do. i find it very odd as up to a couple of months ago i was thinking of just going back early cos i was fed up and bored, but suddenly something clicked and i realised i just didnt want to, i'm so glad i didnt go back early after all and then have these feelings kick in, i'd never have forgiven myself!

buttons yes you are a loser :rotfl::rotfl: lucky you didnt get food poisoning from the molestation of the raw turkey spoon did look yummy though! LOL just seen you're going to be doing more cookings, i await more pics with baited breath :rotfl: who needs delia when you've got buttons :rotfl:

scruffy no we havent named mr kitty #2 yet i like sausage but OH isnt keen! and i like scamps but its my aunties cats name!!

hugs to sami for last night, when is hubby home?



who has taken my son and given me a sleepy monster? he woke for a hour and a half gooing sesh at 2am and is now still asleep he slept best part of yesterday afternoon/evening too!
should hear about the job today *fingers crossed* although they did tell me weds or thurs. i am trying not to think about it, yesterday i kept going over little things like the woman that was interviewed before me didnt have her ID photocopied and i did, and the position is showing on the website as filled now, and its doing my head in now!
