choccy Thank you for checking for me .
The girls are fine thank you . Carly is doing really really well she went back to hospital yesterday for a speech and language class and they were surprised how much speech she has and her signing abilities so we must be doing something right. Only problem is she has discovered the toilet makes a noise when you flush it and water makes a noise when you turn the tap on so we keep having to remove her from the toilet . lol

Kaitlyn seems to think she's the queen she has been sat looking at the argos book and asda book looking for stuff for the pink palace . I caught kaitlyn putting all her felt pens in carlys pen drawer this morning and when i asked her why she said our new ones are better. omg a 4 year old with a promarker habit what have i done.

Alicia is doing really well now and has settled into her new house and new bedroom and can't wait for her mum to have the twins she's booked for a section at beg of may.Here's a link to some pics of her in the us on her grandma megs facebook page http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2035467&id=1296332769

Alicias photos are fabby. Thankyou for sharing.. I LOVE her cake How brave is she ? Those are photographs to treasure for sure.

:rotfl:Thats soooo funny about Carly. It must be so amazing for her to discover all these new exciting things that we take for granted. Hope you manage to keep her out the bathroom. Hope your not on a water meter :eek::rotfl:

Kaitlyn has been trained well by you :rotfl:Promarkers are ace !! Awww bet shes loving looking through all the books to pick her pink palace. Especially since you have found a cheaper light :rotfl: hehe
Tell Kaitlyn that Choccy says Hi

Morning All

Caught up on posts last night but didn't get time to reply as internet kept going down and then I had a row with OH so took myself off to bed with banging headache.

I hate this time of year as it is when we increase his prices, he is a fully trained landscape architect/gardener but at the moment it is mainly gardening work about. He has had his clients for years and I think undersells his ability. Last year we didn't increase his prices at all due to the economic climate but this year I was adamant he was was increasing them. I wanted to increase them by 5% which is RPI plus about 1%. Well he wasn't having this as there was no justification didn't I know of the climate at the moment yadayadayada. I asked if he wanted to improve our standard of living at all or was happy to stay the same each year, to which I was informed I should have married someone else if I wanted lots of money, charming. I'd just like to point out that his clients are not short of a bob or two. Okay they are not rich (well some of them are) but certainly can afford at least one holiday abroad a year. Anyway eventually we have agreed to an RPI increase but now he is sulking. Sorry rant over. :mad: Will post this and then get back to the important stuff in my next post.

Crafty JuJu - Thrilled you got that invite order. I live not too far from the Papermill at the Lowry and need to go soon so if you would like me to get anything for you just shout.

Rusty - Thany you so much for doing the robot stamps etc. The card you made is the paper I have and they will look super. Do you still have my email address of shall I send it you again? Hope DD is feeling better and less sore, poor little thing, I seem to fnd that Little Girls suffer with soreness far more than Little Boys.

Toms Mom - Hope you had a nice day yesterday and OH's app went ok. That was a blast from the past you mentioning Craft Creations they are the company I used to get all our card for making our wedding invites 11 years ago. Is the Creativity Magazine the DcCraft one?

Twinkle - What a nightmare with parking. My MIL has the same problem with people parking for the Metro. She was having to move her car out at the crack of dawn just so she didn't get blocked in. She now has white lines infront of her drive and it has really helped.

Rainmac - Love that step card, thanks for the link.

WBR - Yes please if you could get me some of the Candy that would be great. I can send you chq, stamps, paypal gift etc.

Skiergirl - If you don't mind I then I have spare if I make a mistake. I'm in and out the next few days but we have a letterbox or do you want me to pop by.

PepPop - I have written down digi Robot Stamp and now can't remember why, oops!

Wishfulcomper - What is your blog addy please?

The Wife - I love Monica's stuff as well, one of her retreats would be oh so tempting.

CraftyGranny - Really pleased the girls are doing well. I don't have facebook so couldn't see the piccies, something else I really ought to get involved in. Have you made rainmakers with Carly? Just to let you know as well I posted your Pink Tiara ribbon yesterday. I managed to get to Costco and they didn't have any in the display boxes, so I moved them all out and rummaged in the ones behind and hey presto!

Glittermum - Happy Anniversry for yesterday.

I put some new cards on my blog yeaterday but haven't had chance to catch up on everyone's blogs yet. Need to also look at these new websites that peeps are creating.

Right off to clean faces.

Wow you lot can't half natter!! :eek: I see the spendy elves have been out in full force again! I had a suprise last night, OH told me that there had been a parcel dispatched from oyster stamps :j he has bought me a MS scoreboard and also some of the spensive safari kids papers which will be just perfect for the pages I want to do with the pics from the Zoo at the weekend :j so whoever it was who sent them to OH instead of me, thankyou :j

Not had a chance to catch up properly but hopefully will later on once DD is in nursery for a couple of hours.

Craftygranny had a sneek peak of the pictures of Alicia, what a beautiful girl she is!
