Chilli is an everyday occurance in this house :rotfl:

Idris' mum gave me two huge 2.2kg leg of lamb :eek: They won't even fit in the slo cooker. No clue what to do with them as I'm too cheap to pay that price for some meat!!

I love lamb! I would eat chilli more often but OH can't have spicy food on a work night - in case its too spicy and he gets the trots in work :cool::rotfl:

Woohoo! I got my bibs bundle from ebay today, she soaks each one with milk everytime she uses it. So now she has 7 more

Got a massive bag of 0-3m clothes today from my mum's friend. Its loads of summer dresses and other general summer clothes I have washed them so i cant wait to start dressing her up!

Done our first proper shop since Lily was born today. Spent £55 in Tesco. Hopefully it will last us a while
I got some cocoa powder to make biscuits

SS, i love those shoes!

oooh, also we finally got the last bit of proof we needed for housing benefit/LHA so we gave it all in today and should hear in a couple of weeks.
Hopefully a 'couple of weeks' means 2 weeks

Yay for amber

Lily doesn't like things over her face, she sometimes smooshs her face into my boobs though lol. She has to have the blanket under her arms otherwise she gets angry and goes all red

I'm not even that keen on lamb, I just took it because I can't say no to food I think lamb tastes greasy, I'll make kebabs with it! I'm terrible for food though, I have 3 turkey legs that have been in my freezer for months but I don't wanna eat them so they just stay there.........

Well if he ever narks you off, just add some peri peri sauce or jalapenos to his food. Teeheehee

Evening all..

I'm awaiting the arrival of the monster-in-law :cool: OH assures me she's "only popping in on her way home".. well yes god forbid she ever actually made a specific journey to visit just us! :mad:

We had a nice afternoon at Mum's. It was the same carpet fitter as we had, nice bloke. Mum was slightly freaked out when he asked how I was when he first arrived - don't know if she thought he was an ex bf or something!

Rhys likes the stairs and was trying to lift his leg to get to the next one but sadly his little legs are just too little for the amount of effort he was able to muster :rotfl: Think we'll have to practise that one! We need some of those prop steps photographers have for practising at home!

ooh elle, I'm curious about the travel ins now. do let us know your findings.

I was thinking more from Rhys' health point of view We've been warned lots of times although his kidneys are still improving, there is a high chance they will start getting worse again at some point but no-one knows when that will be. I don't want to book a flight over a year in advance without any backup should he be too ill to go It might not come to anything yet - ILs have a timeshare in Tenerife that they've only ever been to twice in 20odd years of having it because they (somehow!) swap their time there with other people in their "club" and go to other places instead - mostly America and Barbados! :eek: I know OH would absolutely LOVE to go to Canada too :cool:

We had fajita's yesterday Charlotte is addicted to guacamole so she was happy. I put all the bits out on the table and everyone makes their own up and she loves doing that.

Eat a lot of spicy food here and they all got weaned straight onto spicy food. Made me giggle when we had my brother and SIL over and got take away curry and SIL said the jalfrezi was much to hot for her. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head when 8 month old Charlotte got on my knee, dipped some garlic naan in the jalfrezi sauce and ate it :rotfl:

Mam has just collected them all and I feel a bit tearful. I'm going to miss them this weekend. Just having a quick cuppa, then off to get ready to go out.

Has anyone had the discovery fajitas? They are the ones that are on the 'feed four for £4' offer at the CO-OP.

They are lush

Anyone got any tips on how to shop in asda while pushing a pram, what on earth will I do with the basket?

Put the shopping in the pram - that's what I used to do for the local shop when we used a pram when Alice was small.

I would suggest sling and trolley but unless you are very close to the shop it might be a lot of work carrying the shopping home with baby in the sling. I used to do it with Alice from four months to when she walked but it was pretty close so not too bad.

Although I have noticed in our Asda, a bit of a pram park outside the toilets where i'm assuming people have walked to Asda, parked up the pram and put baby into the trolley to shop? I'm not sure i'd leave my precious pram there though.

Isn't that what bike locks are for?

Actually, if I was properly :money: I'd have bought them in a neutral colour, but I'm sick of people confusing her for a boy :mad:

Alice got mistaken for a boy wearing all pink except for pink/purple flowery shoes and a neutral wooly hat. And she was wearing a dress. (And the person who made the mistake had met her before.)

weirdly I was just thinking about holidays too. Mostly the annual ski trip and how having #3 would affect that, tbh I don't think we could afford it and that makes me for the kids

I'm sure there are plenty of other things that you can find to do which they'll enjoy just as much. I've never been on a ski trip and I don't feel like I've been deprived.

If you've got a saw you could cut them in half.

EA, I love discovery fajitas!

Right you clever lot, I need a little poem to go on Nieces hamper. She is 13 tomorrow and I have made her a little shopaholic hamper, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/tiamai/005-1.jpg

It contains -

Little fairy doll (because DH said he would buy her a baby doll)
FCUK cosmetic purse with some cash, body spray and 2 lip glosses
Foot gel and Foot soak
Notebook and mini shopping bag
(from the boots 75% sale )

So, she is 13 and very strict Christian, but a serious shopper. Any ideas?
