    I have been productive today - did my MS job & bought J some shorts. ASDA have some for £3, so we went out in the garden, J in shorts & T-shirt and a dodgy hat :cool: in his pushchair while I cleaned the car and then cleaned the outside of the scummy conservatpry - minging! It was green and furry but is now white again :D

    J is asleep on me so I wrote up my report and am now watching Spurs til J wakes up and I will go and cook tea.

    Where does the time go? :think:

    Caz, grill the sausages (I hate greasy boiled bangers), then fry off some onion, carrot, turnip (whatever you have), add the sausages then some tatties and cover with water. Add in some stock cubes (I use beef). When cooked mix in some cornflour or plain flour to thicken (or cheat like me and juts use gravy granules, but it makes it taste strong so don't use a stock cube).

    Science Centre the morra?
    Thank you:T they wont be back until later so want to have it all sorted just now!

    MIL says there is a cafe that do kids lunch boxes, so I hadn't decided yet. I'll PM you my mobile number and if you do make it you can give me a call/text and we will meet up there.

    Got to go, DH having problems feeding Amber...

    Tia! I thought I'd told you that when I recommended it?! That's one of the reasons my OH like's it, because I'm a short !!! and he isn't and we can both push it comfortably. I've got a parasol from Boots and tried to fit it today, because of the shape on the edge's of the pram it's a bit of a mare to get it tightened properly so I don't recommend that one. Have you seen the price of a uv cover direct from m&p :eek:

    Boo, I'm a bit thick, so you probably did tell me and I forgot, I keep forgetting how to put it down too! Also need to get a rain cover (M&P sell them £25, cheeky gits on ebay sell then for nearly £40!).

    Drama over. I think Amber has decided she won't eat 'baby food' anymore and now wants proper food. Great, but dinner isn't ready yet!

    My OH can't collapse it, he has to call me to do it. My wheel's were making a funny clicking noise too but we swapped them round and it's stopped now, I'd even emailed the seller about it as I wasn't happy :o

    Just bought the milk monster these I wanted the panda one's that say 'I like milk' but their out of stock in small so got the one's that say 'little' and have a bird on the bum :)
