I have a friend from Poland who is getting married in September as she will have to return if she doesn't! :mad: She was asking about ours the other day and when I said we had bought Cava not Champagne she said she wouldn't drink it and was disgusted. :eek: She said she's going to bring her own bottle! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm great thanks. Results Tuesday. Maddy took 5 steps today. Wedding done apart from a hiccup with Erins jewellry today which BHS won't let me return as it's pierced earrings but as trading standards have said you can't sell 'merlot' earrings that are actually 'tomato red' and think it's ok so they will get my wrath on Monday! :cool:

How are you, how's work, any bonus yet? How are the kids?

Oh how exciting !! We will need video footage of Maddy walking down the isle

Work is good, no bonus yet ... Quarter over at the end of this month so I will get a payout next month ... and I have done my target already so well chuffed with that I should get enough to clear my credit card ... which as boring as it sounds, is making me sooooo happy !!
Kids are great ... Jas is at a sleepover tonight and Dylan is being a wee monster now he has learned how to get across a floor even though he is refusing to crawl !! Gets into everything !!!!! But he is doing really really well. We are at his consultant on Wednesday for his 1 year review and then a party on Thursday night with all the family !!

Hi SM. Hows things with you ?? Did J have a nice birthday ??

Fitzio

Tara - I read her a story and spent ages cuddling her and reassuring her etc. Not sure whether having a routine is a good thing or not. She falls asleep within minutes of putting her in her cot during the day for naps, so part of me thinks I should just pop her down and not make a big thing, but I think she would probably wake after an hour anyway thinking it's just a nap! But she puts up a good fight at bedtime. We are giving her a bottle a bit earlier as she sometimes has bad wind so want to leave plenty of time for her to get it up before bed. Then it's PJs, teeth brushed, story and cuddles. 12 mins is really not bad (although I was in the room with her for a bit before that to try to reassure her). I know some people go for hours.

SM - My dress was £85 from M&S!! But the venue was really exclusive and we had a free bar all night (but our families aren't really drinkers, so it was just for the friends who could enjoy the champagne all night without worrying about their kids!).

ETA - Our families were allowed drink from the free bar, it's just that they don't drink much so didn't make that much use of it (just in case I am getting a reputation as a tight !!!!).

Will you have mixed feelings on his birthday MM, just asking as I know how emotional it all was for you. XXX

Fitz, routine is good but I keep ours very short. Mega quick story book but it's a little wind down for her as we do have a bit of a mega manic house at times, bad I know. I don't bath her every day as she gets in with Ben so that hardly makes her sleepy but it does flood the bathroom!!!

I wouldn't buy Em. X

No me either, just stumbled across it while pricing some up. Does seem far too good to be true though. I've added it to my watch list, they've got no feedback, if they get some I might be tempted... gambling with a paypal claim at worst!

Oh I forgot, I had my hair trial today. I've never spent money on me like that before, it looked amazing. I really should treat myself sometimes. I'm just worried about looking like a hag as I think I'm too old!

I think I will be fine on his birthday tara, it will be on the 30th that I may get a bit emotional as that is the day he came home, oh and the 24th as that is the day he came off oxygen and was given the all clear living wise

I probably will be a strange 2 weeks, but in a good way .... hes here and my perfect little boy is going to be 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
