    That sounds like a good place to be to me :) Is this the first time you will be an uncle?

    It will :) I am the eldest! And she is not actually SIL as they are not married and don't really plan to be, but it will do.

    I want lemon drizzle cake! And "No" is a very excellent first word. Elijah is much older and has about 20 intelligible words now but he still usually says "None" when he means "No".

    Go Benjamin! No was my first word too, and the only one I said for weeks afterwards. Apparently I would respond to everything with no, even if I meant yes so my parents had to figure everything out by context and get very embarrassed when they were giving me stuff in public and I was screaming NOOOOOOOO! while grabbing for it.

    yeah for 1st words, No is the one you will hear the most from now on, so its about right he learns it first :) Jas was car. But she didnt really know what a car was and pointed at everything that moved and called it a car !!

  • Izzy can't say no, but she can do a very definite shake of the head when she wants you to know she disagrees with you. She is very opinionated for one so young :rotfl:.

    Evening everyone

    MFD - I hope he is ok and not coming down with anything....And yay on the word (he must hear that one the most;))

    3 - How did your night out go, did you have photo's done?

    Elle - Brill new on the rhys' test results.

    Mince...I use 500g for 2-3meals for 4 of us. depends what meals I am making with it and how hungry I am when I am cooking lol x

    Well our busy day went really smoothly, dropped kids off, went straight to TK Maxx, got some good bargains, including a sit n ride nemo car for £12 for Kai's birthday and the older two fantastic coats for half price and a spongebob canvas picture for £3 for their bedroom. We then went to a baby shop to try out some doubles (inc iCandy) before going to my mums by lunchtime, Kai had his lunch there, then home empty car of bargains, over to pub for our lunch and then straight to collect the kids.....ds2 had a mate over and on the way back from dropping him off home dh picked up the little tykes cow rocker that I won on eBay for £6.50 (£40 new) it is in fantastic condition:) I am very pleased.

    I have definitely decided on the iCandy and I think we are going to get it in the tomato, I personally think we should stick to black but dh loves the tomato and I do like it, red is my favourite colour (hence username;)) I am now trying to work out which bits we need and seeing if I can find things like the maxi cosi cheaper than there, where it would be £115. I am also wondering whethe,r by the time baby is born people will be selling off their carrycots as their babies outgrow them, or do you think they will hang onto them to sell it as a package all together?? If so it may be worthwile me not ordering one as they are £119!!

    Sorry for long rambling post, i'm tired, so just gonna sit where I am for another 10/15mins and then get to bed.
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    We are big meat eaters as OH is into weight training. A 500g pack of mince does the two of us (Toby shares my 1/3). He also eats 8 sausages, two chicken breasts, half a large chicken etc!

  • My first word was more, in the context of food. No wonder I have weight issues as an adult :o
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p
