    I didn't do any handwashing when our machine broke last year... I sent it to my Mum's for a month then had to buy a new machine because I couldn't cope with all my clothes smelling smokey lol...

    There's an MSLC meeting at lunch time today, might be popping down with my friend... They supply a free lunch :D Plus it's worth putting my tuppence in while all the maternity services are still fresh in my mind....

    Made a banana loaf yesterday, can't stop slicing bits off it now though...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Tigs seems to have retreated to the Arms :(

    Am I being stalked? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Felt the need to retreat to old friends for a wee while :o

    Anyway, I'm here now. And I have been lurking, honest! And keeping up with some of you on FB.

    Andrew continues to grow according to his own curve - a steady 100g per week - now weighing 9lb 4oz. He's snuffly this morning, his first real cold, poor thing - not that it's affected his milk intake!

    Good morning, how is everyone today? :wave:



    I'm enjoying a child free morning. V is at Nana's today.

    Really should jump in the shower and tan myself but i'm waiting for a delivery and I don't want to miss it - so i'm sitting here wasting valuable time. :(

    Happy half-birthday Jack and Alex!

    Molly is 7 months today :)
    She's still snoozing on the sofa, must go check on her.

    Watching OBEM - I hope that Thai lady has her baby this episode, I just want to give her cuddles. And why won't that other one turn over? Her baby's never going to turn a right angle and burrow through the bed.

    Edit: DID SHE REALLY GET THAT BABY OUT IN ONE PUSH?!?!?!!?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?!?!!?

    Aww yay for half-birthdays! :D

    I hope no one here forgets Finn's 1 year marker :rotfl:...though I am mindful that our little Fergie has a special day coming up tomorrow ;) (speaking of Miss Weezl, the fairies are hopefully going to fly to the post office today...they've been, errr, caught up lately :o)

    oh and if anyone was wondering where choppy was, she posted on another thread yesterday & said RL has been busy :)

    okay, laundry backlog is FINALLY cleared, hurrah. Now need to continue on batch food-making mission and start massive flat-tidy as apparently our landlord wants to pop around for inspection "sometime soon". :eek:

    SS, glad your day went okay yesterday - get some rest! :T for elle...*hugs* for Andrew's cold...

    Not a LLL workshop but quite a few others, I imagine they're similar... What did you want to know?

    That's pretty much how both my babies delivered, 3 pushes for Aimee and Caitlyn just got expelled with no actual concious effort of my part... In fact I was trying not to bear down as per instructions from the midwife....

    Just walked all the way to cradle club and when I got there it was cancelled... Nice of them to ring me!

    I should take it as a sign to do something constructive instead of just sitting on the old microwave and looking at the Internet on the iPod...
