    I pretended to do some work in the back garden. Took the green plastic cover off the table, moved what is junk to one corner, swept up a bit by the back step, weeded one trough thingy, dug it out and broke the wall.... Gardener of the year here, I fit in with Krystals lot :D

    Krystal, the ones who forget and make excuses aint worth missing anyway. You, OH, Aimee and Caitlyn are all that matters xxx

    Aww :grouphug: Krystal.

    Susan, please tell Alice that Molly's a bit big now for Koala Baby, but in my Facebook page there is a picture of Molly as Koala that is EVEN BIGGER so she can look at it whenever she likes.

    That's where we've just been. She was very troubled by the pictutre of Koala baby with tears in her eyes. Alice just asked me the name of Koala Baby and Koala baby's mummy so I predict that one of her toys will soon be Molly and she'll be calling herself Auntie SugarSpun.

    Did I mention the only person from his family that bought us christmas presents was BIL... He bought Caitlyn a packet of baby wipes...

    Sorry, but everytime you mention this it makes me :rotfl:! WHY!?

    :mad: for your pants family! But at least Caitlyn has a very clever cake making mummy. :)


    I've been visiting my Nan today, and have listened to her moan for 4 hours. My head is banging!

    I'm going to tell my children that if I ever turn into my Nan in my old age, they're to have me shot!

    Susan, I am extremely excited to have Alice calling herself by my name. How fantastic!

    Please tell her that Molly only cries when she is tired or very unsure of something, and that when she cried at the photoshoot it was only for a second and then she got very happy very quickly.

    Thanks all :)

    I know the only ones that really matter are the four of us... And usually I just suck it back and get on with it... I just think things like birthdays really show up who gives a toss and who doesn't... Especially when people like the facilitator at the toddler group can post a card yet blood relatives can't... We had presents here from my Nan and my Aunt who went out of their way to come over last week, and for them I'm gratefull... And my friend just text to ask if she can bring a present round too :D

    And 3, my Nan goes through wicked phases... She was ridiculously vile all the time for about 2 years... But actually quite pleasant sometimes at the moment... It's definitely easier to ring her when she's nice!!
    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.

    Sami I'd go all out stripes and get these baby legs, or if you want all black ones these.

    I love that vest, very cute!

    Sami nooooooooooooo! The market womans back on! Although she's still highly annoying she does seem to have calmed down a little, not quite as hair flicky and OTT :rotfl:
    ooh stripy!! I'm so getting them :D
    I only suggested the skulls because we already have those but hey why make do when I can shop! ;)

    I saw market lady t'other day she's gone all whisper-y ?? still annoying as wotsit tho!

    can you describe how the amber necklace fastens pretty please? I can't tell/see on the ebay listings *whispers* I might have set a snipe on one :whistle:
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    :mad: I gave Husband a Very Important piece of paper to fax yesterday, repeatedly telling him that it HAD to go yesterday. Not only did he forget to fax it, but I just asked him where it was and he retrieved it filthy and all folded and bockety looking from underneath his shoes.

    Sami it has a little plastic thread that screws into the other side of the clasp, you can make it out on this piccie.

    Sorry it's huge, just took it off ebay!

    SS - why do men do that? It's like the more important the paperwork the less care they take of it! We had to take my engagement ring back last year and OH produced the rattiest tattiest receipt that looked like it had been through the wash several times and was unreadable. It could have been from netto not the jewellers for all you could make out :rotfl:
