    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?

    Thank-you, I'm gonna see him tomorrow. Will ask about it, sounds nice though. XXX :A

    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?

    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

    xx
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    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:

    GISI I have the large giant cupcake tin that Sami linked to, but I bought mine from Amazon, that's the cheapest place to get it from. If you get one make sure you grease and flour it well as it tends to stick a bit otherwise.

    Well Elton John was amazing!! Really enjoyed it and definitely worth the 360 mile round trip!

    SS and MFD hope you are both enjoying your hols :)

    Hope all babies and mummies slept ok last night.

    Going to read back a little now

    Morning all, just a quick dive on while OH nips to cashp point with Henry...

    Gave William some apple and pears yesterday and he loved it that is until Henry decided he wanted the rest of it... Nursery had suggested trying some food and so thought a long weekend was the best..

    Off to horticultural hut in a bit while the washing blows on the line and then parents and brother round for lunch.... roast pork yum yum

    Catch up later
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.
