He is exactly like that. He doesn't believe in planning things. He says things always work out in the end.

When we were struggling for rent once, i was panicing and then our LHA back payment come through so we had enough and he keeps saying "See things always work out in the end"

Elle, thanks for that Its a private landlord, so im not to sure what he wants to know. He did offer to phone them instead, but my work are so rubbish they dont have an actual phone number :rollseyes:

EA, usually when people ask for references you just tell them who to contact and it's then up to them to contact those people. That's what I did when renting and also for jobs.

I could give the number for SKY and get him to ask to speak to a mananger.

Thats honestly the easiest way of contacting a manager at our place! :rotfl:

:wave: What a lovely party!!

I have wonderful friends and it was really, really nice. I'm up now because it's so hot, but it was a great night. And tonight we have dinner reservations at a lovely place, I am very much looking forward to it all.

OOoooooooooooh and the gift two of my friends gave me was a day of them, in our flat, cleaning, organising and babyproofing!! It is exactly what I wanted

The only vague problem was that a friend's husband who I've never met before congratulated me on my second pregnancy. I gave him a social "out" - Oh, you must mean Other Friend - Molly's my only child and he just barrelled on, Oh, I thought you were pregnant again! and looked meaningfully at where my dress was a bit tight. Bastage.

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!

Thank you, that's really helpful. I am going to go for it (as long as the cake shop has the "1" tin available to hire when I need it. I was thinking of perhaps using giant and normal chocolate buttons for decorating to make my life easier , so they'd be quite good to cover up the mistakes!

Happy Birthday SugarSpun

Morning everyone, hope you all had a good night's sleep. Enjoy the sunshine today!

Happy Birthday SS!

Morning everyone! I have a splitting headache. It's aching right behind my right eye, in the socket and I've had it since last night.

And I was a horrible mummy last night as I let H cry herself to sleep for the first time. It only took 20 mins but I felt bad (although I would have felt worse if I hadn't had my sore head to occupy my mind). She used to be a great sleeper, but she seems to have lost the ability to settle herself (although she is fine for naps). She just cries as soon as we get near her cot when it's bedtime. I can't soothe her in the cot as she bats my hand away manically. If I pick her up, she falls asleep on my shoulder, but everytime I try to put her down, she starts crying again! It starts off as put on crying, but ends up with proper tears. I just figure I need to try and sort it before I go back to work. And I am scared by AF's stories!! She just wants to be with us as she has so much fun, but the not settling herself at bedtime has led to waking up during the night and not settling herself, so really need to nip it in the bud. Need to make time with us more boring!!

Morning

Happy birthday SS xx

Hope you feel better soon Fitzio.

I had a stonking headache yesterday and went to bed early as I felt poorly. Woke up just before 3am with awful tummy cramps and had to run to the loo. Been several times since. Tummy pains have eased off but I've still got the headache

Didn't go to boot camp this morning and was supposed to be taking the bairns to the Eat festival in Newcastle, but I don't feel like going Have said I'll take them tomorrow instead and hopefully I can get rid of the headache by then.
