    Glam, do you need to do invites? In that situation I've always just phoned people and said "we're going here, it would be great if you could join us... Prices are reasonable..."

    Well...................................... I can't be bothered to speak to OH's lot :o

    Sami - That is fab! I will deffo use that!

    Oh, Chris is sooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! Love the way he runs off at the end!


    MFD - I can sympathise. OH & BIL are playing COD on the PS3, OH asked me a question and then didn't even notice that half way thru the answer I stopped talking because he wasn't listening. He then moans at me to 'watch Jack' and cook food while they play!

    Where does the time go? :think:
  • Evening all. I've got left behind again. We've been swapping some of our bedroom furniture with some bits that used to be my Granny's and have managed to fit in a few extra bits, so there has been a great deal of sorting-out going on. I managed to get DH to part with some tatty bits into the bin, and some more stuff into a charity shop bag, and I'm now been ruthless and realistic with my stuff. I did get rid of most of my "clubbing" stuff, but had kept a few bits. I've still kept one or two things, but I want to clear some space to get some smartish clothes that I can wear for going out to dinner/parties/weddings, then on the rare occasions I do go to clubs/gigs (I'm hoping I can at least go to the occasional gig once she is big enough to stay with granny and grandad over night, but realistically it would only be a couple of times a year) I can wear them for that too :)

    Still loads to sort through if I want to go to bed tonight, but it might have to wait till this little one is in bed.

    I hope everyone else is having a good saturday. Will read back in a bit!

    MFD that's awful. I wonder what would happen if you made your own dinner but "forgot" theirs as they are too busy playing?!

    Glam honestly I don't know how you put up with it. I want to kick your OH and BIL sometimes so no idea how you feel (and manage not to become violent!)

    Sounds like a fun afternoon Bruno, glad OH is feeling better, if now exhausted.

    Good news here, I managed to get the bathroom (almost) done before Alfie woke up AND my dad managed to send the pic! So it can now be seen <link removed> . I'm so proud of my little boy :D
  • I think they had just forgotten that I was even here SS - stupid thoughtless boys :(

    I have told them both that leaving people out is downright nasty and they ought to know better.

    Hubby and I are out tonight so words will no doubt be had.


    Glam - you need some rules - if you are cooking OH should look after Jack, this is one thing I will not compromise on.

  • Ooh, your BBQ sounds amazing Bruno!

    I like the idea of sending your invite from Jack, Glam! I might steal that for H's birthday.

    Lord, it is absolutely hammering it down here now... lucky we went for a lunchtime barbecue! Thanks, it was good I think :) OH now prostrate in bed moaning (can you take ibruprofen in pregnancy? No without doc recommendation I think?), while I feebly tidy up inside and get E his supper - the garden will have to wait until it stops bucketing though, this is hardcore rain!

    Bruno - I took ibuprofen for my spd when I needed it. If you've not got a tame doctor around to give her permission, then I'm sure a couple tonight won't hurt. If she is getting achey often it is probably worth going to the doctor though, as she can get a referral to phiso - a pelvic girdle (which is what I had) or a "sling" to support bump might help her to be more comfy. - Edited to add that the physio would have look at what the problem actually is and see what would help... I'm not giving medical advice at all. ~whistles innocently~

    Thanks Glam. He really has taken to it well, he just loves it and I'm amazed that he's actually getting some down too. We're all loving it in this house actually!

    Can anyone tell me what that mat thing was called that was reduced from Argos the other week / month? It had grass printed on it. Stupidly I didn't get one at the time and now I'm thinking I NEED one!! Or if not, can anyone suggest a wipable large mat that I can use under the highchair? We have carpet in the dining room and living room and that plus baby eating is not a good combination.

    Kindof that stroller looks great. I [strike] want [/strike] need a new pushchair.
