    Oooooooooooooooo we're getting ready to go BOWLING!!

    It's a friend's birthday and we're all off to bowl and then have drinks. I'm not sure precisely what one wears to bowl but I'm hoping to dig something out of my wardrobe...

    jeans & a top. you'll get given dead trendy shoes :cool:

    I'm ok with jeans, Glam, but we're going to a nice-ish cocktail bar afterwards and I have no idea how to combine yummy mummy cocktail wear with bowling and not looking ridiculous.

    It's a tough one... I think I have a pretty top that'll work, hopefully it's loose enough that I won't be sweaty _pale_

    There was only one nursery we could go to, the others dont have places available until the end of the year, but they just didnt seem very bothered. i know a nursery will be messy but it looked dirty to me. and not alot of things to do. it didnt strike me a cosy like nurseries ive been in in the past.

    there was kids and babies sat looking pretty bored !!!

    phoned another one and she gave me a ridiculous figure for daily amount and she said we dont prepare food so you'll have to bring your own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ive heard of taking nappies and wipes but what happening to nice healthy meals cooked on site ?!?!?!?!

    We take food into our nursery but the kids don't look bored!

    :T:T:T Go Amber!

    Jack loves having things over his face. As he's been going to sleep in our bed (Still not sorted his blind :o) and he snuggles up to OH's pillow (:() and stuffs his face into it! Have to move him once he's asleep.

    Aw how cute is Christopher! And Ed was very cute doing his no, no, no yesterday!

    My friend is going to become a childminder - she's starting the course in May but can't have a baby til her LO is 1 (a week after J) so from September he might go to her for 3 days and Creche for 2 days as she won't charge me in the holidays! :j
    But there is the problem that if she was ill I'd be fooked!

    Sent my phone off today :money:

    I don't mind toys and what not, but she had pulled the full thing down and even I'm not that lax... :rotfl:
