3 - I always wondered that too - but more importantly how do you fill the pool and keep it warm? That baffles me - I keep picturing hubby boiling the kettle every 5 minutes to top up the warm water...

I definitely don't have a big house (lol at the thought ) but we do have a big kitchen that we used to have a table in but we never used it because the kitchen is grim and cold and it became a dumping ground for everything *rolleyes* we're just lazy really

We have a tiny house with only one living room, but it's quite a bit living room so we have a table and chairs in it. It is however, a dumping ground.
At this very moment it contains an ironed pile, a pack of wipes, a shoe (?), a police helmet and utility belt complete with cuffs and baton, a pile of photos i'm supposed to be scanning, DD's homework book, OH's homework books, a pile of post i'm supposed to be sorting through and the laptop! :mad:
We do tend to use it for Sunday dinner when we all eat together, and the children eat at it every night (we move the stuff to one half ). But OH and me are lazy b's and eat later on from our knees.

I was a bit :eek: about how much stuff Benjamin needs before I even think about clothes though!

That's whats stressing me the most. I think I need to go and find one of those cloth highchair seat thingys you mentioned the other day. Was it from Wilkinsons?

Plus I need to make two curries to take with us for Friday night curry night, and go shopping for salad, samosa type things, beer and wine to take.

The down side of being the only member of the family not working and having too much time on my hands is that the further away family members have roped me in to get their bits for the curry night.
I am also official party coordinator, present coordinator and embarrasing photo of the birthday boy coordinator.

I was thinking if it is anything like me with the summer paddling pool, it would still be in my living room six months later, green and furry and housing frogs! :rotfl:

It was. Although I was looking for one for AF yesterday and the Wilkinsons here didn't have them. I have seen them in Boots too (£9.99) but the Boots here didn't have them either :mad: so i gave up!!


Which reminds me - Home Bargains here had 2 ITNG Bibs for £1.79, one Iggle Piggle and one Makka Pakka. They are blue and green but I think (hope) that they are unisex

Good thinking! I don't mind strapping my daughter up like a dog. In fact, you've just reminded me, i must go and let her out in the back garden for a poo! :rotfl: (Who was keeping the list for Childline?)
