    Mel - I think most men find it impossible to ever see their mothers as less than perfect, look on the bright side, you have 3 boys that will always think you rule no matter what :D (I'm sure little girlie will too!!)
    Are you ever going to share the names you're thinking of?

    aless - I sent something to Australia the other day and the PO asked what it was and the first thing I thought of was Gift! :rotfl:
    She said You have to say what it is as they actually scan the package to see what's inside!

    Big hugs all round from me and the Jackmeister!

    Ed's teeth are amazing! I can't believe how many he has now and in such a short space of time - I got a big toothy grin on Thursday :D

    Did a MS job this morning and am lumbered with a big bulky item til Monday when I have to return it! Not happy!

    Also gotta wait in for my shopping to be delivered which is a pain cos its gorgeous here! Might just mow the lawn or something.

    OH gone to put my GG's on for the National - I always pick 3 horses! A really good one, a good one and an outsider. Think I've only ever won once in years!
    Fingers crossed I'll get a winner today!

    Pah, Rhys spent the last hour furiously rubbing his eyes and sighing while cuddling me on the sofa but would not go to sleep, then as soon as OH comes in, he pick Rhys up, Rhys gave him a big smile and was out like a light as soon as his head hit OH's shoulder! :cool:

    I'm waiting on him to make me a new email address for a new Betfair account.. :whistle: ;) Then I have tidying, hoovering and carpet cleaning to do. Rock on! :D

    Have got the patio doors open and I'm contemplating what to do with the garden (eventually). It's all paved at the minute :( Really want a lawn!

    Afternoon all,

    Half the food shopping done, just the Morrisons run to do.

    Got a bit of a bargain, I was trawling the net last night looking at partyware for next weekend and was :eek::eek::eek: at the price, so I went to my local bargains shop where it was much more :money: 19p for 8 paper cups instead of over £1.

    Mel and MFD - big hugs

    :j for Ed's teeth

    Kindof - yep it was a dream feed, the lovliest kind of feed IMO, quality time with DD whilst the rest of the world was asleep.

    Katie found it very funny this morning as I had my car window open and the wind was blowing in her face so she giggled all the way home from Aldi.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)

    nice to see you posting pinknico how are you and yours?

    Hubby was supposed to be taking both boys out this afternoon so I could have some me time but Benjamin was falling asleep on his highchair tray so he has stayed with me. He is asleep but I wont relax the same with him here. Oh well!


    We are all well here, youngest is asleep and the two boys are painting their plaster of paris models we made this morning.(christmas present, only just been bothered to help them make them, naughty mummy!)
    OH at work til 6pm.

    Hope you feel better.

  • Pah - no long hot relaxing bath for me. Am alternating between work and housework and ironing.

    At least I am back on the lappy though so it doesn't take me ages to post!

    Noises coming over the monitor - the little chappie better stay asleep for a while longer because he refused to nap this morning.


    pinknico - we still have a lego set to make with DSS from the christmas before last :eek: To be fair they are really big and fiddly and if Benjamin gets hold of them then all the pieces will go missing. Still - should really take B out of the way and let the big boys get on with it at some point.

    To save me from the man with the saw and the woman with the pruning shears who popped over the fence shortly afterwards, ya mean ;)

    I know you weren't asking me, but will tell anyway... I have £2 bets to win on five horses! :D Mon Mome, Don't Push It, Comply or Die, Hello Bud and My Will - selected at random on the basis of liking the names! :o
