The boxes are all in mls now Sami.

I always let the kettle cool a bit before filling bottles, I had one explode in my hand! Owch!!! Plus the TT ones are stupid, they go deformed if you fill them with boiling water.

Morning all..

We had another early (for us!) waking followed by bottle and another lie in Since we got up, Rhys has had another massive portion of porridge and has then been sitting on the floor playing for almost an hour I even got to get dressed and get into the kitchen to make his lunch without any dramas or whinging (apart from whenever he'd knocked his blocks over and wanted them putting back together again ) :j

We're off to my mum's soon. She's finally got the carpet laid on the stairs so we can go have a play, plus she's got a parcel I need to wait in for while she takes nan to a hospital appointment.

FIL has just txt me to ask if we can afford flights to Canada next year. Will have to see what the chance of getting travel insurance for Rhys are first!

Hope everyone is having a nice day xx

oh thats good!
Kindof doesn't but the powder in though so no shaking followed by scolding milk shooting through the air

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

Me either! I picked it up to move it about 30cms to the back of the counter and pop! The lid flew off! The lid wasn't on too tight or too loose so no idea why it went. But I won't use boiling water since.

But then, I'm unlucky that way, I'm banned from using real glassware too. I have to use plastic beakers

Sami did you say the jet was good or crap?

Sami there are various cheap options for family annual travel insurance which would work out cheaper than a single policy if you go away more than once? And then you could just add winter sports on as and when you needed it?

The husband has gone off to get a referral for a dermatologist as he has weird little bumps on his skin. I am hoping he gets back soon, I have some work to do and Stinkeriffic makes it hard to concentrate, she keeps whapping my arm with a soggy ricecake

sorry poor grammar, the insurance would be the least of my money worries surrounding the holiday. It's the paying for a seat on the plane and the £100+ lift passes and £100ish ski hire. Also IL's like to go during term time to save pennies but I'm not sure how I feel about that once Chris is at school We were never allowed a holiday in term time not sure if we would have if mum didn't also work in a school.

Ah, that makes sense. I hadn't thought of that.

Cutie Jack awwh!

Tried to make some cash on ebay over Easter weekend by selling 5 remaining items of summer maternity clothes. And failed miserably - all sold for 99p.

And one buyer had not paid. Auction finished Monday. 99p + £2.00 p+p. Ppffft!
Why do people not pay asap? T'is beyond me.
