    Morning

    Off to my parents today for a formal family lunch thing. My brother, SIL and niece will be there. I don't really want to go as my brother puts me down all the time and my self confidence isn't good at the moment :o

    They want to go to an ice cream parlour this afternoon, but it's a 30 mile round trip. Trying not to go too far at the moment as diesel costs so much and it seems a bit of a waste driving all that way just for an overpriced ice cream :o Would rather go in the warmer weather when we can have a picnic on the beach, then go for an ice cream or something.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Morning Becles

    That's a shame your brother may spoil a nice lunch for you. I know it's easier said than done but could you make a point of asking him why he always puts you down in front of everyone and maybe it would embarress him into not doing it any more?

    Agree with you about the unnecessary trips too, fuel is way too expensive at the moment.

    Morning all, up at 6.30 this morning, giving OH a layin as he says he never gets them (mind you he never does a night feed so I use that as my justification to lay in !!!)

    Henry has 4 eggs already and William 1 plus a lollipop :eek:

    Just done my ironing and made an easter card for my neighbour as they gave us eggs for the boys...

    Tara lovely dress, could always get a bolero jacket like I had, maybe you could get one made... you can then take it on and off?

    I doubt it. He does it to my parents too, and has had them almost in tears before.

    They are just so superior to all of us, and look down on us. In his eyes I'm a crap Mam, my job is crap, my home is crap, my degree is worthless as the OU counts for nothing and so on *needs the roll-eyes smilie*

    Sorry I just get myself all chewed up and panic attacky when I have to visit them :o

    Happy Easter everyone xx

    I just saw the start of the that link Tara and thought, !!!!!! is Tara doing spending £100 on Phil Collins CDs! Beautiful dress though, and what a good price. I bet you look stunning on it.

    Happy Easter everyone. No plans in chez GISI, other than possibly a pyjama day (at least a pyjama morning). OH will be in bed till about 1, then is off back to work at 6. Weather is a bit pants, although I might stick the raincover on the buggy later and go for a walk anyway.

    Now, how many syns in my Easter Egg? :eek:
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    Becles sounds like he is jealous about something? But you know he is wrong about everything, don't you:)

    Kids enjoyed their egg hunt today...they got 4 easter eggs each and a pack of creme eggs each too....My mum is yet to pop round, with a further 3 eggs each!!!!

    No plans today, need to do a tesco shop for delivery Tuesday and that's it really. I am taking it abit easier today after my marathon tidying session yesterday, I don't want to give myself a hurty tum again:D

    Sorry maybe tmi put down the chocolate.
    I think i may scream :eek: Just got the baby fit and healthy and he even looks like he is putting on weight. His cheeks have really filled out.
    Now Ds has got gastroenteritis He hasn't stopped being sick thankfully he has manage to get to the loo with the runs but yesterday he shot out of bed and was sick all over the bathroom cream carpet (why houses have carpet in the bathroom or kitchen escapes me) I have been waiting for an excuse to get get rid of it and the massive orange patch is just that excuse. I have tried to get it out without any luck but it is still there any tips? cos we can't afford to change it straight the way.
    Then last night he was sick all over our beige sofa ( bought before we had kids, never again) I had given him a potty to be sick but missed. My fault for not covering the sofa.
    Thankfully the cover can be removed and put in the washing machine so that is nice and clean again but the whole house stinks.

    We were ment to have a big family meal with bil's family as they are up for the weekend. We never enjoy them because we all don't get on very well so at least we got out of that but i would rather go and suffer them then have ds1 ill.
    So that is my easter. Fingers crossed ds1 is better for his bday.
    This is my signature!
