    Proud mummy moment
    H is now 12lb 14oz so he has put on 14oz in 2 weeks and he is now finally on the bottom centile, which is a big thing for him. The HV was so pleased. :j

    :T Fantastic news :T
    My babba still needs a waterproof jacket.

    I saw some really cute waterproofs at out local independent garden store. Have you looked somewhere like that? :T Glad to hear MrMFD is OK

    Also the fairies will most likely have a Alton Towers family pass coming up shortly...I got an e-mail I won one through a competition, but it's no good to us. I'll post something when it comes in the post as I don't want to offer it in case it fails to come through!

    Aless, If it does come through would you please put my name in the hat for it? I'm not on F/B so don't see the fairy posts :A

    :T Well done Becles

    Mr hammy is working tonight. D has just gone to bed and I am not sure I can be bothered to cook. I currently have a glass of wine. I am starting to think that chocolate and ice cream is perfectly acceptable for dinner.....

    When are parents due SS? are things less tense between you now?

    MFD - what size waterproof do you need and are you fussed about what it looks like if it's free? I have a navy pac a mac not sure what size but i'll dig it out if you're interested?
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    In the city late tonight, here tomorrow morning sometime.

    I'm not sure how things stand, my mother seems to have decided that none of it ever happened, but I'm really not ok with pretending there's no elephant in the room especially when it left my little family knee deep in poop. We'll see.

    I signed up for the counselling skills course :)

    Edit: One of the clucking scr€ws has been delivered inside the part of the bed it fastens to the rest - there's no way to get it out :mad: :( It doesn't affect our sleeping on it, but damn.

    I nearly did a online councelling course paid for through the bf group I used to go to with Aimee... But the funding got pulled... Great that you're going for it SS :D

    I would also try and get your Mum on one side and talk it through with her... If she's willing to talk about it... But sometimes you just have to accept things happen and draw a line under it and move on... Unfortunately people don't always conform to what we expect them to... And they often don't like being pulled up on it... Especially parents...

    My friend dropped round a present for Caitlyn earlier, a couple of gorgeous dresses :D Unfortunately they're a 12-18months and seeing as Caitlyn is barely in a 9-12... Will probably be next summer before she wears them... :rolleyes:
    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.

    SM does Philip drive? How long do you think it might be before you book your test? Are you enjoying learning? Sorry for all the questions! My DH just learnt to drive, passed just over a year ago now and it's made such a big difference to us.

    SS I cannot believe how much trouble you've had with that bed. Very glad you will be sleeping in it tonight though.

    I can't be bothered making my sausage and mash now. DH isn't getting in from football until 9ish. Might have to order yet another take out :/

    I'm watching a show I sky+ed ages ago about how children are finishing primary school with really poor maths skills. It's shocking what some of these kids don't know.

    sj im quite far away from passing .. i can drive but my fear and panicing stops me from doing 3 point turns and things and im too heavy footed .. philip has said that once hes working hes going to get learning but we cant afford both of us to learn at the mo x
    :)Still searching .....:)

    Yeah it's expensive learning isn't it?! Sure with putting the hours in your confidence will keep increasing and the fear and panicking will subside :)

    Quiet tonight!
