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

Er! Have to correct you there craftygranny as Kaitlyn is a Red Hat Pink Queen-in-Waiting! A Diva too!

Beautiful pics!

I'd love some help with a Magnolia stamp. A little while ago I think it was npsmama or rainmac(?) who kindly sent me some Magnolia stamps. I've coloured one for my CP swap with the Padster but there's something I'm not sure about.

The stamp is one where she is lying on her tum with her head in her hands. Its very plain but just by her plait there is something and I dont want to colour it the same as her jumper as it lookes like I'm giving her a humpty back. Please, does anyone have any ideas, Is it a bit of a teddy?

I'll try and find it.

Found it here its called Dreamy Tilda

If it's the one I'm thinking of then it's a wing.

Lyndach, I think you're right, I didn't know Tilda has wings but I looked further on and there they are on another stamp. You can see I don't do many Tilda's In fact I think this is the first one.

Twinkle - I think it was you that had a problem with people parking across your drive. We had this problem so we got in touch with the local council and they painted solid white lines across the road in front of the drive. We found it helped.

Morning all.

PONR - our neighbour actually organised the lines you are talking about to be painted on Monday, that was when it kicked off again. We live at the end of a close with us and the neighbour at the bottom. They put the line accross my drive the centre bit and accross the neighbours drive. However cos my car was up the on the drive while they painted the line, that was when someone came and parked about 1/2 cars length away from my drive. That was when I had abuse shouted at me as I asked her to move up. They are taking no notice of the lines, in fact it has made things worse. Someone came home the day the line was painted and parked accross the middle bit making it really hard to get out. Then last night we decided to park on the road ourselves (after all we are allowed to block our own drive in, and the neighbours squashed their car in between ours and the next door neighbours. They really are so childish, so I think it is time to play them at their own game.

Anyway rant over! hope everyone has a good day. My voice has come back a little bit, better not overuse it today, I dont want it going again completely.

Tired Mum - sorry your OH is being difficult. I really think you are doing the right thing as you have to progress (lets face it everything else around is is going up in price, food & petrol etc), he is obviously just not worried about money. I am sure he will see sense soon.

Craftygranny - Lovely pictures, glad Alicia is back home safe & sound
