MFD - Derek was outed as a fake because before they did a live showing, the skeptic mentioned some name had haunted that place or something, and Derek "made contact with him" but there was no such person, the name given to him was actually an anagram of Derek Acorah. LOL. Something like that.

The two most famous anagrams used to trick Mr Acorah where Rik Eedles that translates to Derek Lies, and Kreed Kafer that also translates to Derek Faker

He actually got "possessed" by Kreed Kafer

I think there is some stuff that is currently inexplicable, but malevolent people coming back as malevolent ghosties? Maybe not.

I'm the only one up again - dishes done, breakfast eaten (uninterrupted), TB emptied and laundry folded and today's list made. I am feeling rather productive so far. Molly slept fairly well, she does half-wake a few times in the night for mostly-comfort boob, but only twice last night and then her full feed just before eight, after which she yawned and stretched and went right back to sleep :A

Poor OH has a really racking dry cough at the moment so has banished himself to the sofa so he doesn't keep us awake. I was tempted to go cuddle in with him but signs around the place suggest he's been up all night so I'm going to leave him for the moment.

for the soup i just fry some onions and garlic til soft then add veg (broccoli, cauliflower & carrots this time) and mix in lots of curry powder, then add some veg stock and boil til veg goes soft, adding more water every so often. then mixed in a tin of tomatoes and blended it cos i like smooth soups.
i put a bit too much curry powder in when i tasted it tho so mixed in some milk too. i'm kind of an experimental cook, especially when it comes to soup!

not tried it with tomatoes before and it's nice but i think i may prefer it without. just cauliflower is nice (same but without broccoli, carrot or tomato, and with milk) but my favourite is curried parsnip soup cos thats really creamy anyway and is gorgeous with cream in. only problem is OH doesn't like parsnip & i always think i might as well make something we'll both like

I made some really easy Tomato soup on Sunday it was yummy

Lovely sunshine here today, Henry packed off to nursery, William asleep so catching 10 minutes to myself before he wakes off.

Had good weekend, my sister is down with her kids for the week and so will have a couple of days out although giving them a break and putting Henry in nursery still so my parents get to spend time with them...Henry got 6 eggs :eek:, Lindt bunny, an Easter book, cuddly sheep, some lollipops (but he doesnt eat much chocolate... William got an Easter Egg, chocolate lollipop, a cuddly pig and Elephant... so much for my diet before going back to work!!!

Morning - had a pants night sleep. Took ages to drop off and then I woke for a week about 3.30am and took ages to drop back off again.

Busy day with loads of work and uni to do.

I'm into a stupid few weeks now, with two deferred exams on the 21st and 24th and a big assignment due on the 26th. Think I'll apologise now as I will probably not keep up with the thread

awww Becles, you don't have to apologise - you're super woman!

SJ, yay for sleep!

Definitely need to crack on with things today. Going to do some more cooking bits, sort out the mess in the kitchen bin area, clean the dining table (project in itself!) and start my exercising. I hope the weather's nice as it does look promising!

Morning all..

Was up at 7am this morning.. trial run for tomorrow and in a bid to tire myself out so I get to bed earlier tonight :cool:

Got to take Rhys for a blood test late this morning, then will see how he is afterwards and maybe go into town

Hope everyone had a good night and has a nice day - hopefully the sunshine will help xxx

Chris had his last bottle of milk at 2yrs 3mths, the way I see it is it's no different from a BF baby still having at BF before bed

I wonder if that woman from GMTV thinks that's "as bad as a bottle of coke" too.

Good luck Becles - you're Superwoman, you can do it!

Good Luck becles:D Don't worry about keeping up, just pop in and rant every now and then if you need to, about how stressed/tired/positive you are feeling.

I told my dh about your dad doing the OU and about you being so close to finishing your degree and using his robe (hope you don't mind) anyway, he thinks it is fantastic too:D

I think you are an inspiration and I will be thinking of you and keeping everything crossed that you pass with flying colours:A

SJ & SS Glad you both had decent sleeps:)

I am tired, but only because I can't seem to sleep myself! I am tending to go to bed about 1.30-2am, then I am tossing and turning through the night and K gets up at 7am...so at the most I am getting 5hrs of broken, unrested sleep. I am really struggling tbh:(

Shopping is coming today between 10-12 but K goes down for his nap at 11 so if it isn't here by then dh will have to bring it in because I am going for a nap when k does.

Mel, it sounds like you caught the pregnancy insomnia bug from weezl! Oh my! Hope you get your nap.

Just trying to sort what exactly I need/want to cook today...which is far more interesting than deciding what to clean today
