    I spent an hour ironing and only did 20 items. What is an average rate for ironing 3? I am quite particular and my iron is crap so I think it is hindering me slightly :o

    I just went back and found an old post........

    I think we may be onto something here. I've just timed myself, and ironed 31 items of mine, OH, J & L in an hour. (not including undies/socks because some people think i'm weird for ironing those!), but it did include school uniforms and OH's uniform with the horrible stiff combats. :)
    And I had the lappy perched on the ironing board so I could keep up with you lot. :o

    I'm saving V's til the end, to see if they work out at half an item.

  • Ta scruff - I was thinking that I was doing well to get his teeth brushed twice (when he still has them coming through) but then I really know that it needs to be after his milk!

    Will keep going for now, he won't be having a bottle forever.

    In terms of spaciousness (for driver/passenger/carseat, more than for luggage), does anyone know how you would rank these?

    Nissan Note
    Ford Focus
    VW Golf
    VW Passat
    Peugeot 308 SW

    I have an inkling but? :)
    The passat would have the most room for everyone inside and also luggage, where are you heading to Bruno??

    Ironing is all done and nearly all downstairs is clean :) am away with Charlie to nursery tom as he has another speach therapy session that i have been asked to attend. Thanks Glam i did see your message when catching up, will post a pic for you!

    It's not like he's taking the bottle to bed and lying with the teat in his mouth all night... And I'm sure he won't still be using it when he's 5... I wouldn't worry... The dentist wasn't too fussed about Caitlyn just having her 6 brushed at night most of the time... As they get bigger it's just another one of those things that gets easier...

    Aimee's friend brushes his teeth in bed... I'm pretty sure that's not the best place to brush your teeth... :shrugs:

    why does husband wait until it's time to go to bed then do all the things he's been putting off all night?!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Yeah he did have nice cars and a lush flat on Roath Park *Jealous*

    If you check out this post Searching posted some pics from the last meet. Look at Photo 90, although I probably looked nothing like that back then!

    Oohhh, you are really pretty and have a stunning figure said in a totally non lezzy way :D. I don't recognise you though :(

    When I got married DH and I had a house in Lakeside, literally about a minutes walk to Roath Park, not far from the Discovery ;)

    * sigh * my darling son thinks that 3.30 is a really great time to wake up and start the day. He shows no signs of going back to sleep :(
    The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents ;):o:D
