    We also have a new trick of standing on something, looking at mummy (or shouting Mamma to some and look if she is not around) and then saying 'GET DOWN' in a really stern voice :rotfl::rotfl:
    S loves to turn the TV off, and when he does it I say "SETH!" in my stern voice, he has started turning it off and then running away looking guilty and shouting "SAAAAAAAA" at the to of his voice :rotfl:

    I bought him 6 little board books for 99p each in The Works today :D
    The lads at work thought they were brilliant...!!

    Have you met the most PT members do you think? You sure do get about a bit lady ;):D



    Edit - will it confuse you more if I tell you how peed off I am that I need 2 drills and I can't get them anywhere? And I can't find any apple pies no matter how many apples I pick!!

    :eek:;)

    Dunno if I've met most people, never thought of it really! I like meeting people, even if I am always a bit nervous :o
    good becs .. hurting but good .. it was soooo busy yesterday i didnt get to go on the weights but did 3k run 4k cross trainer and 6k on the bike .. hows boot camp? x

    Well done you! And Becles too. You both put me to shame. My first time back in the gym today wasn't too bad though, I quite enjoyed it/ Now I just need to keep going!

    And bless my hubby, I walked over with no phone or money or anything and it was lovely when I set off. As I was in there torrential rain, thunder and lightening started so I was gearing myself up for running home (only 5 mins away) but when I cam out a car beeped and it was him waiting for me :A

    Evening all. Izzy being a pickle tonight. The last week she has been really hard work at bedtime, keeps getting up and yelling at the gate. Tonight I went back in once, then came back out - she was back up at the gate, but gave up and went back to bed. Went in to check on her after a bit and she had gone to put herself back to bed, but woke up when I tucked her back in, so we've just had the whole performance again. Good that she puts herself back to bed though. I will have to remember that ;)

    Now she just needs to learn to tuck herself in, and we will be laughing!

    I've just bought a baby prison off eBay!!

    It comes with the playtent so C can play in it for a few months but I was thinking it might be good for keeping the baby safe from her... As long as she doesn't figure how to climb over it obviously... She's a real menace that one!!

    You have a lovely thoughtfull hubby SJ :)

    My mum said she used to put the carry cot inside the cot when my brother was born so I couldn't get at him. Or put the pram in the front garden and me in the back. Apparently I used to try to scratch his eyes out.

    I think overall we were probably friends more than we weren't.
