Jakesmummy

thanks for the pics of today, looks like you had a lovely day!

Hope everyone is well?

quiet on here today, ive been so bored, nothing to do, couldnt even take the kids anywhere as no money, oh and OH was moaning this morning cos he wanted to go pub with his mate, doesnt understand the concept of 'no money!!' he would have happily taken our last tenner for a few beers i bet, ggrr!

my fairies have the following!! -has anyone got a baby girl turning one soon? have some door decorations left over from jasmines bday, they like hang down, string things, im not explaining them v well am i ha!

also anyones little babies use re-usable nappies? ive got one brand new thats never been used, called baminex i think its got a nice furry lining, size medium. I was being optimistic when i bought it thinking i would use it but in all honesty im too lazy lol!!!

I have three siblings and I wouldn't swap them for fancy holidays. We didn't always like each other growing up but even so I'd rather have them than not.

ETA: I realised I might not sound how I meant - what I'm trying to say is that it isn't selfish to have another child as the rest of the family (OH, Christopher and Edgar) will appreciate them too.

Agree with this, I too have 3 siblings, never had a holiday as a kid, infact we didnt even get many days out as money was so tight, im hoping we might get away abroad at some point but will prob b in a few years when im back in work.

We have plenty of short sleeve stuff here that fits... shame it was intended for LAST summer! *rolleyes*

Thanks, she is adorable (biased of course) but rarely smiles for the camera. She just looks stunned and wants to grab it.

Same here. When we got home from the meet, H was sweltering in my car as the A/C wasn't working. I had to strip her off and put on her only short sleeved outfit (although she has short sleeved bodysuits that could be worn as tops I suppose). Then we went a walk and I realised she has no sun hats, and I don't have a parasol for the pushchair! So if she is a bit beetroot tomorrow, it's my fault.

P.S. I had to set up a Photobucket account and work out what to do, just for you Glam!! Get yerself on FB!

Thanks
I shall not give in to Peer pressure plus it's just one more thing for me to get addicted to! lol! :rotfl:

Maybe it is the sun thats made babies sleepy. Jack was asleep before I'd left his room, without his dummy & not heard a peep since. Of course it could bebecause I whispered 'Please sleep through for me tonight' and he listens to me:rotfl:

We're just home! But we did go to nieces party, then to her house for a cuppa then to block buster for a DVD.

Great day and it was lovely to meet everyone (even if I have only now realised who everyone is...). No builders named Dave (but notice I'm not in any of the pics? I bribed everyone not to let on) :rotfl:

Off to watch a DVD, too tired to pay attention, took my 5 attempts to add 8.50 and 13.00 earlier!

I got my furminator through the post today, I attacked the cats with gusto, and they did the same to moi. I actually thought i'd have more problem with anti social grey cat but noooooo the issue was with Archie, who's hair is the bane of my life



That was after 2mins of brushing them each. I'm going to attack them later with it again. It's quite satisfying, like picking a scab :rotfl:

THATS AWESOME! I so need one! I'm fed up of picking out clothes according to how much/little fur will stick to them, and my friend cant come round cos even though I hoover twice a day, in the sofa creases as well, his athsma gets triggered if he's here longer than a few minutes

Buttons - what is special about the furminator? should I be demanding my MIL gets one for her maine coons? they are a bit mingy fur wise _pale_ it is funny when they have their quarterly butt shave though :rotfl:

I shave Scruffy's bum! He has bowel issues and if I dont, he needs a bath after each poop _pale_

Seth has loads of short sleeve t shirts, I am a bit addicted to buying him clothes whenever I go to the supermarket

SM i find asda the cheapest really, i dont know if you have one nearby though? also tesco is quite good, sometimes they have 20% off days . Sainsburys have 25% off days really often but they are a bit more expensive to start with, but they are really good quality from there i think,

and yes he IS trying to get hold of OH's beer bottle!

kindof - as someone who gets stuff from the USA sometimes, you can kindly request that the person shipping it mark the item as a "gift" on the customs declaration. This should avoid any charges. But you didn't hear this from me . And of course the item inside will actually be a gift, right? *coughcough*

Unfortunatly it was from a company and I dont think they would do that its just annoying cos you cant get the things over here

When I order from hanson.net they used to write gift on and total it as $0 but I dont know if they got wrong or someting cos they now put the acutal cost on as well

Red - My friends 8 year old is called Charmaine

You may all think I am sad but I went through our freezer today and wrote down everything that is in there, and there are 46 meals worth of food (23 meals though if that makes sense one for me one of OH) I did a meal plan using the food in the freezer, so hoping shopping bill wont be too expensive this month

We also have 6kg of pasta (£3 in asda) I now need pasta ideas please lol, we usually have spag bol, or pasta bake, what else can I do with it?

Elliot has tested my patience today, he was screaming the house down for like half an hour, nothing I did would settle him (OH was out in the shed painting) I got that stressed I just marched outside, opened the door and had to hand him to Oh to sort out, I feel really bad, but pleased that I didnt get stressed with E if that makes sense, its not his fault he was crying, but I still feel sad that I was stressed and coulndt sort him, annoingly he settled for OH and took a bottle off him even though I had just tried him with it

Evening folks

Very tired... Was a good wedding yesterday, nice hotel and Aimee enjoyed the pool... Some photos on my facebook but for those that arent (Glam) Here's a pic of Caitlyn practising her standing up...


Journey home was pretty awfull... In Laws had had words before we got in the car, no idea what about but sMIL didn't even acknowledge us when we got in the car and not a word was spoken all the way home... :rolleyes: At least it was only 45mins though!! Is it me though, that finds it incredibly ignorant? It's not the first time something like that's happened... But if it was me, I would paint a smile on and be pleasant to everyone, not make everyone else feel uncomfortable?

Anyway... Made the most of the glorious weather when we got back, mowed the lawn, gave the slides a scrub down and put Caitlyn's toddler swing up... She seems to like it!



The good weather didn't make her sleep as well as the rest of the babies though... She got completely over tired and wailed for an hour... I ended up having to feed her to sleep...
