    Oh balls!

    I've got crispy duck and pancakes and a selection of chinese nibbles for a lovely football tea - and no f'ing oven to cook it in. :(

    Tea will have to be something that can be cooked on the hob or grill. Any suggestions?
    you could probably fry the nibbles in about 1 inch of oil in a pan, steam the pancakes like they do in the chinese and dry fry the duck for a few mins to heat it

    Thanks everyone!

    I went out for a walk to Asda. I've never walked to our Asda before :o, it's only 2 miles (each way) but i'm absolutely destroyed now!

    I'm amazed at how much the Stokke shopping bag can carry too!

    My phone battery is dead - I did the two button thing Sami, and have got a pic of a black battery with a red end. It's plugged into the laptop but doesn't seem to be doing anything!

    See.. told you the battery is dead.. try charging it in a different computer if you can.. when OH's dies like that it will only charge in my laptop.. and make sure it isn't the charge cable that isn't damaged/broken!

    lol pigpen, not much going on there then ;)
    Is this baby the first with your new partner?

    The reason I'm so careful is OH's family all have hypermobility, my sister was born with hip dysplasia and I used to crawl flicking my leg out due to hyper mobility of that joint so I was expecting something to be not right with any sprogs we produce

    Yes this is his first..

    No, not much going on here... lol.. I do wonder if I will EVER have a normal quiet no appointment life!!

    Sami it's like a round pile of glass and wood with one pig but no matter what I try I can't break it. On iPhone so woll check walkthrough guide later. DH got me hooked on imobsters the got.
    ahh thats the one the walk through link shows, you can do it in 2 birds

    My cable is on it's last legs, the boys have pulled on the wire so many times that its coming out of the plug bit, I've taped it up but 2 tiny insidey wires were broken that I could see and I'm not convinced the tape is holding it very well, good job I have 2 more wires, they're expensive to replace if you get an actual apple one!

    Thanks for all the input this morning on the reflux situation. We haven't had any major explosions so far today, just a few dribbles so going to see how it goes.

    Holly has been refusing to nap this afternoon, only just gone to sleep now so she prob won't sleep tonight!

    Going to join in the noisy neighbours ranting now! Its like pigging Ibiza here at the mo. We live in a mid terrace so we don't expect silence. Neighbours on one side are lovely, no probs. The other side moved here after we bought our house and there's god knows how many people living there - we can't work out who lives there and who are just really regular visitors. Anyway, they've turned their garage (on the other side of their house to us) into a gym and they play really crappy bad loud eurodancy music and all I can hear from my house (with all the windows shut and the tv on loud) is the thudding bassline.

    Trouble is, apart from the music, we don't have any probs with them so I don't want to complain incase it causes other problems. GRRRRRRRRRRR:mad::mad::mad:

    Rant over. Sorry.

    Muso, you could casually mention it to them, just say that it occasionally wakes the baby. Or maybe ask about what insulation they have in there. If they are nice they may turn it down, if they don't then you can buy a voodoo doll from international :D I'm still working on a way to shut the junkies up next door.

    I have perfected my potato wedges spice mix :D The secret ingredient is lemon juice, it must do something to the oil that makes it flavoursome to the MAX.
