    Looks like it's a bit rambunctious today in here :p

    Yes i have eaten a dictionary, and also just scoffed a bowl of honey hoop cereal, they are fortified with iron you know!

    Had another mealtime success tonight with Keira, a jacked potato and I scooped the tattie out and mixed it with cream cheese and put it back in :p she scarfed the lot, I didn't tell her about the cheese though :p

    I got my new FREEBIE sofas today, from the lady from gumtree, they are rather spiffy if I do say so myself and nothing I could of ever afforded! She also gave me a free throw with it as there is a TINY bit of felt tip pen on one cushion (red) so she used the throw to disguise it, I'm not really @rsed either way, and Clio (the cat :p) has claimed that for her own.

    I saw her take her claws to it earlier and sprayed her with vinegary water, I didnt know there was vinegar in it but hey ho, she smells like chips now. They better not attack my lovely sofa when I go to bed cause I will be like :mad: and :eek: and some more :mad: I'm dreading when they start fighting and chasing each other over the sofa, I will be like Tazmanian devil AHBLEUEUDHDKDSFSSH1THEADS!!


    Hope mums and babies are all doing good, and Keira has had plenty of Maccy D's and is scruvy free (that I know off :p) Everything in moderation - Says me who let Keira eat about a kilo of haribos today, oops, its cool, I'll starve her out tomorrow.

    Night nuit!

    Glad things are looking a bit brighter caz:) Don't rush it though, but getting out is great....tbh it's something I am struggling with a bit lately, you are doing fantastic and good on your OH for pushing you;)

    Just been feeding T, deciding whether to go back to bed or not! I might either stay down here or go and sleep in the nursery......that will show him, I don't know exactly what i'm trying to prove, and it is only me who will suffer in being tired but I don't care. I am being silly and stubborn but can't snap out of it!!!

    Oh dear, Bruno, that sounds like a day and a half!!

    Sorry I didn't absorb much else :o. With salt, so far I've been fairly lax but keeping a level head...I make my own hummus but since it tastes positively vial without salt (I think so anyway :o:o), I still put a little in...but it has so little for an entire pot and he only has like 1/2 teaspoon on bread, so that can't be even a measureable amount of salt...anyway right now he mostly eats raw fruit & veg so the potential for salt is quite low in the first place. Though we went to a Chinese buffet for lunch and lovvvved his piece of beef from the beef & broccoli, which the sauce is prolly made with loads of salt :p.

    We were going to have margaritas tonight but poopy Colorado won't sell liquor on a Sunday.

    Poor Finn is getting very sick of going into his car seat now, but luckily tomorrow we only have a couple hours of driving left before we arrive so he can be relieved of that.

    Hope everyone's well.

    Sami, I love that safe, if I see one for a fiver or less then perfect but £12.99 is too steep for me. I'll go to town on tuesday and see what I can find, I need to go shopping anyway, El is finally growing out of 6-9 and hasn't really got any 9-12 yet.

    Morning

    Pleased things are going well Caz - well done on driving :j

    First day of the school holidays here. James is off to secondary school for a summer school this week. It's nice as there will only be year 7's in so he'll get to know his way around and will met some teachers and pupils, so it'll not be as scary when he starts in September. He's studying aerodynamics all week and is looking forward to a trip to an aircraft museum later in the week.

    After all that has happened, I was amazed that he actually asked if he could do extra school :D

    Busy day again as I've got to drop him off at school, then I've got several jobs to do.

    Bairns are sleeping at my parents this evening as I've got a very early appointment tomorrow morning and Mam thought it was easier to keep them overnight for me. Managed to pick up a resturant mystery shopping job for tonight, so looking forward to going out. We don't get out much so it'll be a nice change.

    Have a good day all xx
    Here I go again on my own....

    We also watched Nemo, she got a bit scared and upset in parts though. Then I compounded it by showing her my wedding pictures (she wanted to see mummy in a pretty dress!) but couldn't understand why she wasn't there so followed it up with the Baptism pictures.
    Alice is convinved she was at our wedding. She refers to it as "our" wedding and when we tell her that it was Mummy and Daddy's wedding and that she wasn't there because it was before she was born, she says she was there in my tummy.

    Yes unfortunately it does, thats kind of the point of the present to make sure that Miss Haley always has her own whiteboard pens that no one has nicked or run out.

    I don't normally bother with teachers pressies I usually just get a card but Millie came up with this idea herself so I'd like to do it.

    Mel, I was reading the TES forums last night (to see if whiteboard pens would be an insult!) and most of the teachers on there said a card with a heatfelt message from a pupil or parent was the best thing.
    It sounds like a lovely idea and I'm sure the teacher will really appreciate the fact that Millie thought of it herself.

    The pox seem to be getting better but I'm wondering if its the calm before the storm :o They are bad on his bum, armpits, hands and feet with a couple on his face but nothing on his chest or back yet. He is very clingy, throwing himself about but at least he's eating now and is sleeping lots.
    We found that all of the spots kept getting worse up to a certain opint and then they all started improving. So the ones which appeared first got the worst and took the longest to disappear.

    That's a brilliant idea to give them a chance to get them to know the school before starting properly! I still remember how scarey it was going to the huge strange school. :(


    No plans here, maybe some shopping. I need some warm tops/hoodys/wellies for our trip to Scotland. I'm not expecting it to be bikini & flip-flop weather!

    OH is off - it's his first day of shifts which has turned out to be a rest day. The shift pattern is confusing me, he's on til 10pm tomorrow - will he eat when he gets home? And a couple of 3am finishes at the weekend, his sleep pattern is going to be messed up. I'm sure we'll get used to it eventually.
