    Yep, we have pimped windows too. Its great, folk can't see the mess inside :D

    The megane has built in shades which are also good (but you can't have the window down if you're going fast or the shades will rip)

    Just checked my facebook and hadn't realised a couple of you had been looking for me :o I feel so loved :D I caught up this afternoon which took ages cos it was from page 583 but it kept my mind off the noisy neghbours for a bit.

    How is everyone? :D

    Ladies, those of you who take your littlies swimming, have you ever seen a swim ring with a little seat in it that is not so big that the baby's never near the water?

    Edit: Thanks in advance, ladies, I have to take the monster to bed now so will check back in the morning.

    Hello Weezlie if you make it on. How's your boobs?

    So I sent him today, in a very colourful stripey sleepsuit, to be changed into another colourful romper, with an in your face red jacket and denim (oops) sun cap. Now I know the jacket will have been replaced by the cardy, but it winds me up, he is my child and i choose what to dress him in.

    Also had a little disagreement with FIL about the sun. I'm a v. fair skinned red head. I do not sit in the sun. After many, many years of failed attempts at getting a tan with painful sunburn, sun stroke and blisters as results I have given up. He who sun worships and has a perma tan, thinks I am very strange. Also strange that I use nothing less than factor 30 and factor 50 on my same coloured hair and skin children. Because the sun cannot damage you. !!!!!! has he never heard of skin cancer? So that factor 50 that I sent today had better have been used on my two today or I will blow my stack. Sorry big IL's rant there.
    ooh I hate the clothes thing too! My mum is always buying ugly clothes for Chris esp pants from Asda which really annoys me because they look crap on him because they're just not the right shape he only looks 'right' in m&s or Next with the adjustable waist. she buys packs of socks/vests/underwear and send half of them here. grr!!
    I always put sun cream on Chris before I took him to my CM just in case because she forgot once and Chris got mild sun stroke and threw up so bad I had to call my mum round coz OH was working away :eek: he's not even pastey like Ed n I, he's got OH's gorgeous olive skin.

    I'm watching young autistic & stagestruck on 4+1, loving the 17yo on the trampoline, so sweet, kinda a shame other teen boys aren't as nice.

  • Evening all,

    Just checking in but not stopping.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Benjamin has his 1 year jabs in the morning (only a month late!) so I am off work to smother him in mummy cuddles all day.


    I may be spending some more time with him very soon. Have had it clarified that our contract is awarded (or not) 'on behalf of the secretary of state' so whilst there isn't a secretary of state (ie as of tomorrow) then there will be no contract :(

    So unless someone is minded to take me on on a temporary basis (there has been talk of this being possible but nothing has come of it thus far) I could well be out of work as of the end of the month :(
