    I always pay for things in shops with my eyes closed, that way it doesn't count :D

    Amber is a spoiled little princess, she needs dresses and pretty clothes. DH tries to moan, but spoils it by saying 'thats nice' or demanding that she wears a dress to go out. he's worse that me, I'm slowly introducing trousers, but daddy says no. He then moans if shes showing her bum though.

    And I'm not on ebay...

    My mother used to use regular sugar for buttercream. But then she's as culinarily challenged as me...

    Speaking of which, OH is in a strop with me because I failed to remember to save him a chunk of my steak and kidney pudding from dinner. He seems not to care that it was minging... he wanted to taste it.

    Elle, I've not measured my doorframe, but I have a lindham one up in the living room and I had to take one of the adjuster spinny things off one side to make it fit, but it fits fine... :)

    Never mind Keely, there's always the week after next! :) Does your Dad have british gas cover?

    Glad you're feeling better Tia :)

    Bath time at the zoo...

    GRRRRRRRR...ds2 is driving me up the flaming wall, he will not listen to me or do anything I have asked of him...He is just constantly ignoring me and arguing back with me over anything and everything!!! I swear I am going to end up smacking his backside if he carries this on!!!!!

    *and breathe*

    Sorry had to get that little rant of my chest!!!

    On the plus side I have a new freezer coming:) Well in fact I have one of those big side by side fridge/freezers coming, Ooooops:o I don't even know where it is going to go:rotfl:

    I have also ordered the turf and slate for the garden so we just need to go and get the fencing stuff...we have decided to fence off the lawn because the dog just craps all over the place and he won't just do a dollop or two, he walks around while going, I swear he needs therapy!! We have decided it will be far easier to clean up the patio and can just hose it down, also means the kids can play on our new lovely flat, freshly turfed lawn poo free:p

    I am shattered from clearing the garden today, we are digging out all bushes/plants from the borders and I managed to break the garden fork:o at least it forced me to stop and call it a day:p

    Hope everyone is fine xx

    Oh and on the clothes talk...I wish I had enough to bother sorting out:( I have barely anything and what I do have is complete tatt:(

    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Tia this made me laugh as when OH has ruby when I am at work she looks like she has been dressed by a blind person!!! completely wrong colours with wrong seasons and usually from the 'too small' ebay pile:cool:

    Morning, I was wondering if I could ask a quick question? At what ages do babies/toddlers have development checks? Elliot is 19 months old now, and was wondering when his next one will be? I want to make sure he's ok development wise (he's either slow at certain things, or my friends kids are genius's!).

    Thank you.

    Keely.

    Keely We had to make a 2 yr checkup for DD2 she had it the week of her birthday.
