    Ooh, Dave always insists on marshmallows on skewers to melt over the top of the BBQ as it goes out...

    And there's no such thing as too much meat :p

    But you could get veggie sausages as an alternative ;)

    hi all,

    sorry mad dash in as lunch is about to finish.

    can anyone recommend any shoes websites that cater for 1/2 sizes?? LO is a 6 1/2 and i am struggling to get her shoes anywhere other than clarks.

    just seen your post mfd re bargins in asda. must go tonight (if car is fixed). i always worry buying the bigger boxes as who knows when LO is going to have a growth spurt. she is such a heavy wetter too!!

    will be back tonight to catch up/chat.

    Shoes; we have this problem too, Elliot is a half size and I've just had to get his shoes from Clarks again as no where else seems to sell them?

    KEELY.
    Mommy to Elliot (5) and Lewis (born xmas eve 11!)

    I love baby potato skewers. Boil some baby potatoes, toss in butter or olive oil and some herbs garlic etc then skewer and toast on th BBQ. And fruit chunks on skewers. Pineapple orange apple etc. Shame some cinnamon over the top.

    I am in such a mood. The house is a pigsty but I get so a grey that I have to clean it that I don't get actually cleaning it. I hate feeling like this but it's all I ever see
    To do recently is feel angry. Or so sad that everything is a struggle. And the holiday was utter crap. Wish we hadn't go e at all it was so bad.

    Tia :( that sounds pretty miserable. You really should rant at us properly, or at a RL friend?
  • Thanks for the link MFD - My friends little boy had this which they found when he was 6 months old - they noticed only one eye was red on photos, sadly after lots of treatment and the loss of his eye he died the week of his 3rd birthday. Its something I am extra paranoid about now.

    B- is the double of his dad in your pic :)

    Having a peaceful night -OH and DD are both at work and LO is in bed - heaven

    HUGS TIA What happend with the holiday??

    Something to make you all laugh for once even though i feel really stupid!!!!

    Was tidying up and sorting things out when the girls came through in tears, they told me the rabbit was dead and my heart sank :( i went outside to check her and she didnt move, she usually goes crazy when she sees us. Then all of a sudden she jumped up and i screamed, nearly had a heart attck as i honestly thought she was dead!!!! Kids all thought it was hilarious and the tears quickly disappeared, think it will be rabbit stew tom after that :D

    Picture crazy at the moment. Some good ones. Hope everyone has had a nice day. Too tired to type too much and Lucy had a parting gift from work. Think i'm going to flump onto the sofa until one of the girls drags me off.

    Button - can we get a discount at your shop? Good luck with the interview.
    MOTM - if the car needs taxing you may need to produce a valid insurance certificate in order to do so. Also, as Caz has mentioned, usually fully comp policies will cover you to drive another car, that does not belong to you but only 3rd party and only if the other car has valid insurance. The easiest way would be to buy the car, sort out insurance and then collect or some garages offer free 7day insurance.

    Sounds as though their is more than just one way. I shall need to look into this further as I don't want any dealership ripping me off.

    Thanks for the advice and info.

    I looked up the Chanelle interview and what came up wasn't the original but talking about it, it sounds like the main reason is she's had the same problems many face and could probably overcome with good support but she probably had the usual different MW everyday giving different advice :(
    MOTM no she hasn't settled down, she's a single mum, babydaddy is some lesser known footballer

    Really? Had to be a footballer of some sort. As long as the baby gets a decent life, that's all that matters for now, not Ms Hayes social life for once. Sometimes the strangest people become the best parents, so good luck to her.

    Kindof, the move from naps in the rom with you to naps in the big cot is a hard one, but once you get used to it, it's fine. They seem to handle it great and it then means you get some time to yourself.

    Yeah :) He's managed two naps in his cot today of 45 mins :)

    The other one he had to go in his car seat lol for an hour

    I'm gonna have to go to asda and see if my nappies are reduced, I bet they arent lol

    I've also been an Asda tart and got nappies galore (for a cloth user :rotfl:) and plates and bowls.

    Also, Gill I got the £12.50 push chair cos OH wanted a cheap small fold one - I just used it to pop to Tesco and kept standing on the brake at the back! Not too impressed but didn't spend much so not too bothered. Will see what OH thinks.

    Erm - lovely photo's everyone - I have one to post but will do so later when C is in bed if I get chance. Can't think of anything else so hugs to all (especially Buttons) and back later when C in bed xxx

    ETA NMS Did you get your activity tables? Hope so :-) xxx

    I did - one for grandma's house, one for nieces 1st birthday and we gave the last one to some friends that have a little one but are struggling a bit money wise.

    Did you pay a visit to Ashton? Is it worth a visit? I think a visit to Hyde may be on order when OH gets home, but we're swimming at Ashton tomorrow ;)

    Lovely pictures today ladies, and Krystal thanks for the link to Miss PP - she's lovely :grinheart
