And us, sweetie! Don't forget us!

I have just looked at your pics and L looks fabulous in what I presume is said dress? And 'Elton'! That pic is soooooo cute (and I think we have those cool sunglasses too ).

How could I forget you lot!

It is said dress - I don't know what's happened to her lately, she's gone all girly!

Glasses are Primarni I think, attached to a sun hat?!? Another MIL purchase.

SarahJoanne - if you're around, how difficult would it be to ice a number 1 shaped cake with fondant icing (bearing in mind I have zero experience of fondant icing )?

I've read quite a few articles on the web and they all say to "pull out" the corner and smooth it down gently. However, I can't find out to do the "internal" corners. I don't know if I'm biting off more than I can chew here...(just to make a change!).

Sorry didn't see this earlier, have been icing a cake :rotfl:

It's not mega difficult really, and you kinda do the same for the internal corners, pull it away a little bit then use a finger to smooth it into the corners. My tips would be to a) roll the fondant pretty thick so there's less chance of it tearing / splitting / cracking etc and b) plan a design that can cover any mistakes! Eg spots or something so you can put them wherever needed. (Like this kind of idea http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2565/3909322207_ce9bb4615a.jpg )

Half of cake decorating is being able to cover up / rectify mistakes!

Meant to say earlier congrats to the new aunty and aunty to be, how very exciting! I can't wait for my sister to have a baby, no plans yet though as she's at uni for the next 2 years. I wanted us to have a baby at the same tame really but that prob won't happen unless it takes us ages to conceive again or we end up having 3

Off to bed now as I am exhausted! Night xx

I cant sleep. Im so stressed/annoyed its keeping me awake.

We are going to view a house on Thursday, private landlord. But he wants a works and previous landlord reference by then.

Well im on ML and DH is on annual leave until the 21st, our work are rubbish for getting references/filling in forms. (they lost my ML stuff and only sorted it when i called them the day before to make sure they knew i was going on ML)
Also, what kind of refernce would he want from work? Conformation of earnings? Character?

And DH is saying that we have all the time in the world to find a place to move to, which we do. But i want to move before i get pregnant again and also, if we dont move by 21st Sept, we have to sign another year for this place with the first 6months being compolsary (sp?) again. Meaning we cant move until March 2011. And i dont want to be here over winter. It only got to 10-15degrees with the heating on

Sorry for my moan, im tired and i cant sleep, which makes me irratable lol.

awwwww ea its sounds like DH is doing the usual man thing and let it work out and take time .. never gets things done *rolleyes* ... you will get it sorted but it will take time i hope this house is nice for you but try to relax and get some sleep .. lily doesnt need a stressed out mummy x

Evening / Morning all

Had a lovely meal out with friends Still feel like I need pudding though...

EA, I used to write employers' references for rented accommodation. Each reference agency had their own questions but it was usually your job title, your salary, if you had the opportunity to earn a bonus/commission/overtime, your length of service so far, if you're contract or permanent.. Umm, that's as much as I can remember! It's all factual anyway, no opinions on your character

Hope everyone has a good night's sleep
