    Have fun Krystal.

    I'm jelous of all your creative cake abilities. I can make a cake, so long as it can be round and plain (well look plain anyway - my cakes always taste yummy!) I could probably stretch to some smarties on the top!

    I'm the same! My cakes taste yummy but I am so un-artistic it is laughable.

    We're off on holiday a week today too- Isle of Wight for us!

    Susan- that place looks amazing.

    Aless- stay strong on WW! It is worth it, I promise! I'm hoping to get my 1.5 stone award next week.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    Llama park looks interesting, but not at £6.50pp! (why yes I am cheap) We're not sure what we're going to do yet - depends on the weather, really.

    Random, haven't seen Fitzio for a few days. Was just thinking about you as I have this desire to break WW and eat loads of junk today but am trying to be strong (and just wondering how you're holding up).

    Was speaking to Fitzio during the week on FB. Had noticed she hadn't been here for a bit.
    Good weather tends to keep people away though, it's been very quiet on her for a few weeks!

    Ladybird, Bourton-on-the-Water is lovely in general. I've been to the Birdland Park as well as the Motor Museum (home of Brum!). We stayed here :)

    Hello

    Sorry I haven't been managing to keep up much lately, feel a bit out of the loop atm....

    I seem to have been taken over by a mad pregnant woman, who just wants to complain about being fat, heavy, ugly, tired...etc so don't really feel I have much to contribute lately. Just over 4wks till Dday so hopefully I will be back to my normal self then:) We have been out today and bought the rest of the stuff we need, so are all sorted now and Midwife comes out in 2wks to bring HB stuff.

    Kids are off school now for two weeks half-term break. We are going to try and get out to the park/beach/woods with them a few times each week to keep them busy. Also trying to sort out the back garden which seems to be a veeeeerrrrrrryyyyyy slow process and quite frankly is p!ssing me off big time (sorry for swearing) I wish I could afford for someone to do it for me:(

    Anyway, will try and pop in a bit more xx
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Well OH was going to go out and "play" with his friend tonight even though I told him not too, cos I am really not well, my whole face aches and all my bones, but then when he has got home he has seen how not well I am so is going to stay home. I might go for a nap, I am shattered.

    Ah, but they're deceptively easy... I'm not that talented lol... I'm not neat enough to do anything too intricately...

    In Laws have just taken Aimee to visit BIL for half an hour... Giving Caitlyn her tea, there's no way she will last until they get back... Could do with eating my own tea but I suppose that would be rude... :cool:

    Have finally managed to get a shower, shame my hair won't be dried in time to go out though...

    Also managed to throw underwear and sleeping articles for me and the children into a suitcase so I recon I'm about a quarter way ready for the holiday...
    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.
