    I also snipe with weird amounts and for some reason it enrages me more when people outbid me after I've done that, like the weird-amount trick should secure me the widget :rotfl:

    Anyway, I've just seen on FB that a former (lurking?) PT member is also in an expectant condition :)

  • oh oh oh!! I forgot to tell you all but this morning I taught Benjamin to open and close his TT Sippy Cup himself :T


    I am sure he should have been able to lift the little spout ages ago but the lazy little b00ger generally just pointed at it going 'gggggrrrrrhhhh' (like a 'making an effort' noise) and one of us dimwits opened it for him. This morning I figured out that he should be able to do it for himself and lo and behold he can :D


    He does a lot of 'ggggrrrrhhhh'-ing to get us to do things for him...will have to be a bit smarter in future....tricked by my 16 month old :o

    I get furious if i lose an auction i've been watching for days. Sometimes i threaten to come to their house and take what rightfully mine, but not to them.. only to DH or my laptop... lol

    EA, Aimee never had juice... I always said she could have juice when she was big enough to ask for it... Now she is, she just gets herself a cup of water or moo milk... Caitlyn loves her water, she drinks 2 or 3 cups of it a day (that's why she has a 4+ night nappy!)
    Alice doesn't ask because she knows I'll say no - she just helps herself and then tells me afterwards that she's done it.

    She still lurks SS, but uses Grabbit like no erson I've ever known before, one mega busy lady, how are you btw? X

    Clever Benjamin, now he needs to learn to fill it up, only joking. X. I love it when they learn new things, but that excludes learning how to pile cushions on the floor to climb on the sofa, or use the remote to change channels, she's 1 not 3!!!

    I'm glad she's lurking, Tara :)

    I'm not so bad, thanks. I've a bit of Molly's cold and I'm worn out from the effort of [STRIKE]hunting down the inconsiderate bastage who gave it to her[/STRIKE] looking after her, keeping the apartment from descending into squalor and trying to remain employed. I'm really enjoying my counselling course - almost at the last assignment already, and it's inspired me to take further courses and do some research into what would be needed to pursue it as a career.

    How are you?

    And where's 3 this evening? Any update on Bastage Camp?
