    My friends OH told her last night that he's not ready for children, bubs is 2wks old! :mad:

    Then he's a bellhead who should have the snip so he doesn't get a chance to be a bellhead again.

    While i'm on facebook. Is anyone here called Nicola T? She's added me as a friend, and I don't know her so assumed it was one of us. But she doesn't seem to be friends with any of you lot. :confused:

    Nicola T from Celeb Big Brother? :love: She's not a patch on my Lucy, but she's a sweetie.

    Im not posting much, but notice Lotsa ppl awol tonight, MM, Elle, Sami(I know she is home, thought she might be on!?), MOTM, SB, Feely....also, anyone heard from DKAM recently?

    I'm here. Just enjoying Lucy's company in front of the TV. We don't watch much TV, but she's teasing me over the nice girl in Celeb Big Bro.

    Talking of Lucy. She wants to quit her job and work from home. She used to make jewellery and sell it like she used too before she needed more money, so she got a job in a GP surgery. She's not happy there with the new practice manager being a bit of a bully and she still sells jewellery in small amounts, but could sell alot more if she put her mind to it.

    The money is not an issue, as we would still be better off with an extra head than a few months ago before child tax credits and she has substantial savings, as do I and neither of us are heavy spenders on anything, it's just the usual day to day things and the girls.

    She also sees it as a way of becoming a full time 'carer' for want of a better word, for the girls, to help me out.

    I know she's not happy at work and she loves being here.

    What have you been up to Carla?

    El was exactly the same and still is if I try and encourage her to eat she just stops altogether so i find it easier to ignore her whilst eating!!

    this is interesting Mel and Scruffy as when i give LO her food, i sit her in front of me so i can talk to her etc when she is eating. maybe she doesn't like it because when i am cooking and i give her a biscuit or something she just gets on with it and enjoys it (unless she is tired then it just ends up on the floor)
