Sooo big, indeed In fact, I didn't mention it the other day but he's actually finally reached a centile line - albeit the 0.4th one! - for length (at his corrected age)

A bit sneezy here unfortunately.. Rhys is better than he was but now OH has gone it bad (apparently ).

Oh dear, but his will be a different, much worse strain though I expect! :cool:

SJ (or anyone) do you know where I can get a tin for making a large, centrepiece cupcake? I want to make a big one (say 6" diameter) then make smaller ones to go round it.

you mean like this?
http://direct.hobbycraft.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productcatalogue=313730
(it's cheaper on amazon but for some reason I can't link it)
or there is a plasticy one on amazon too that's cheaper but MSE won't let me link to it either?? search for the store moobarb or just giant cupcake mould/tin

Hobbycraft also sell smaller version http://direct.hobbycraft.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productcatalogue=313805
Looks fab here http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51pwd-yKjEL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

See I do want a bit of traditional sitting down at pretty tables with close friends and family, I just CBA with a big formal meal, and the hotel said we had to pay extra if we wanted the meal served to the tables cos they wanted to servie it as a buffet which I couldnt see working? How am I meant to fill my plate with food when I have a big dress on? Which is why I thought a nice afternoon tea type thing might work instead! And it should be cheaper too. Just need to find a venue that will let us do it, we were going with the Holiday Inn but they wont let us have a BBQ. Barstards!

I waitressed at many a hot buffet/carvery weddings and we always served the top table first (as in we asked what they wanted and brought it to them) then the guests were told to come up and queue table by table.
We also did BBQ's :cool: it was a private golf club so maybe see if there's one near you?
The best thing IMO about the one I worked at was that we had a posh changing room upstairs the bride could use that so she didn't have to try n squeeze into the function room toilets in a big dress and could get changed into a party dress later if she wanted.

Tara I was thinking and might be good for when you meet the organist (unless that's already happened?) If you are struggling for music to walk out etc why not just get the organist to play your hymns again?

Maddy having a paddy, very strange for her to cry now. Gotta go, night. X

Morning all!
Horror of horrors I have to take DD shopping today! And she wants to go to Primark :eek: Think I'll tell her just to call me when shes at the till lol
Shes after holiday clothes, am away in 27days (not counting or anything) and I can't wait!!

K was slightly less screamy last night but won't open his mouth to let me see if pesky tooth is in. He decided yesterday that his busy week of learning to pull ajar doors open and sit himself up unaided from lying down weren't enough and has added pulling himself up to standing to his bag of tricks! (See here). Think I need to sit him down and tell him hes not even 8 months yet!
MIL keeps saying 'Kev was walking at 10 mths: hes just like his dad' cue me fingers in ears 'lalalalalala I'm not listening!'

Whats everyones plans for today?

Somnium

csh - talking of mils telling you scary stuff mine told me last night OH got his first 2 teeth at 12 weeks :eek: No plans for today but do need to get dog food at some point.

Morning

Good luck at Primark csh

Well second night in the new room was OK(ish) He woke up once, thankfully before I had gone to bed, then decided 6am would be a good time to get up this morning, woke the older two shouting his head off for me to get him!!! So they have all been up since that time and are now grumpy, doesn't help that I let them all stay up later last night.....

I think it will be a nice early night for everyone tonight.

On the plus side the nursery has been all tidied and cleaned now and I have put a fair bit of [STRIKE]crap[/STRIKE] our cherished belongings up in the attic...
I am going round room by room tidying and cleaning, so the boys room and the nursery have been done now..I will do our room this morning, which is pretty much ok anyway, then onto the bathroom and toilet which are both filthy_pale_ I don't think they have been cleaned 'properly' at all this year!! That will be upstairs done and I can move onto the disaster zone that is downstairs:p:o

I bought a 2nd hand Graco travel system and i must say i wouldn't have done it any different as i've found it so easy to strap her in while in the house and then clicking her straight into the back seat!!

I use it for nipping round the shops and taking the dog out, not much else really cos i drive everywhere (hence the flab :rotfl:)

I wouldn't have bought one brand new (even though i nearly did) cos i never planned to use it for longer than the first 6 months or so anyway, i was guaranteed to get a stroller, but that's just me.

I'm dreading when she's grown out of the car seat though

The flipping purple Joolz is up to £215 :(:( I can't justify £235 total at the very least.... I didn't even pay that much for my blimming car. :rotfl:

So there's a black one that was up at £150 and didn't sell, gonna email that one and try and do a deal lol..

I am the opposite lol I plan on using the graco till E's out of his buggy. I may change my mind lol cos it is rather big lol

Well E is in his 3-6 month jeans already :eek::eek::eek::eek:

And my Hanson new album package which was meant to be here June 8th is going to be late cos some of the items in it were delayed getting to the hanson store :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
