MFD I'm ok. get a bit overwhelmed sometimes with 2 but actually there are still spaces- both asleep now for example!

How are you and the fantastic mr Gingerman? I read a while back that some worky things are stressful, I hope that is more resolved now?

Also :kisses3:for sugarspun!

I can't imagine having 2!! Gingerman keeps me on my toes as it is. He is simply magnificent and I could spend all day just watching him play.

We bought him a little plastic golf set over the weekend (£3.50 in Matalan) and he loves it! It has 3 clubs and 3 balls in a little plastic golf bag on wheels and he found loads of ways to play with all of it - not least of all using the bag as a hoover :rotfl::rotfl:

Work is still stressful and this week is looking like it might have some movement in it but I have a holiday on the horizon so that keeps me going

How is Mr Weezl finding being daddy bear to 2 lovely boys? ....and have you any plans for baby Weezl no 3 yet?

Hi Keely - are these the ones in Bilston Baths? We went to those and absolutely loved them! The pool there is ace, even if the changing rooms leave a little to be desired!

Hope you have a lovely holiday!

Hi Yes, it's at Bilston Baths. I took Elliot when he was about 5 months old and he loved the sessions back then The changing rooms where blooming freezing though! (was february and bad weather though i guess). I want to take him to The Crystal Leisure centre at some point, as I think he'll like the way it's like a beach in the leisure pool (shallow going to deeper water etc).

Thank you!

keely.

SJ - sorry to hear you had a bad night. We had two pooey nappies to change again last night. He went back down afer the 1am one but I had to feed him at 3.30 where we've been getting away with 6 recently. Typically he chose the night when I had wine so I've been a bit slow to get going this morning

I shouldn't even complain really as even with the few mediocre nights we have it really good chez SJ :o

And it is ALWAYS the way that the bad nights are the ones where you have stuff on the next day or have had a drink or something!

I saw the pics on your fb of your friend's baby, she's cute. Your friend looks good too for 4 weeks post birth! Also your DH looks like a catalogue model in the pic of him :rotfl:

kessie does get a lot of stimulation from watching fergie play and always seems to watch engrossed when we read, so I'm hopeful that I'm killing two birds with one stone!

mr weezl is a great dad. I seriously think he is a better parent to littlies than me. A lovely combo of gentle, fun patience and lots of 'throwing you up in the air' energy.

Number 3? Oh boy! I'm no tara, caz or pigpen I'm afraid am more feeling like 2 is my limit

What about you do you/DH want another? 4 is a lot of boys, I guess even if 2 of them are all big now!

Really hope work moves in the right direction.

Thanks everyone i think my kids are gorgeous too but i'm totally biased I can't wait to get my free print from Pixifoto, he showed me it on the computer and i love it, but i also loved all the other ones that are extortionately priced

Lovely to see you Beenie Did you go to Michael McIntyre yet? We have stand by tickets for this Thursday

It's this Sunday, mine are priority tickets and i can't wait Still don't know who i'm taking though :rotfl: (or what i could wear because nothing fits I want a maxi dress but being undertall and overweight, i'm thinking that might look silly)

My_Fathers_Daughter

With the way work is at the moment we can't really plan Weezl but MFSIL seems to be warming to the idea ATM.

Lets just hope that I can get a job sorted and get settled in before he definitely decides he is too old! How long do you have to be somewhere to get maternity pay these days?

It is certainly something that is in the back of my mind should I be in the lucky position of choosing employment or consultancy (which would be self employed).



Keely - I didn't know about the Crystal Leisure Centre - looks good

If only i had something exciting to hide :rotfl: My brain is numb with boredom, i am plotting my next mission - decorating my scummy living room (in the hope someone might swap if i ever find anyone to view). But becoming demotivated because i can't see how i can realistically do it with a mobile and demanding Amber. I look around and it's just a huuuuuuuuuge job

Hi Beenie, :j ur back!! Just a quickie about ur living room, I was saying to my mum the other day how I wanna repaint my dining room/kitchen as we did it in a duck egg blue and are not that keen anymore, it's a bit bright!! Anyway, she suggested I do what she used to do, which is to do a little bit each day when T is napping, so I get everything ready in the morning like brushes etc, then as soon as he drops off, start painting one chunk of wall and only aim to get that done that day. I am thinking it sounds less daunting that way and less of a big chore IYKWIM. Hope that helps!!

morning

hi beenie!! glad you are ok. Amber is sooo cute.

for photos... Max Spielman do a package for about £7 or £8. i know its not a very big photo but you might be able to pay extra for larger ones. think its 8" x 6" and then some small ones.

Kian is teething big time. everything is in his mouth. more so than usual.
bought the stairgate but its the one where you have to drill into the wall. so its not up yet as DH had a few drinks yesterday. Might do it tonight although as Kian is at nursery tomoz, DH is off so he could put it up then. Kian has already climbed to the top twice today!! he goes to the bathroom and stands up to look in the bath

My rascal rarely naps tbh! When i wallpapered the passage and kitchen, i would be constantly going back and forth meaning it took ages. I wish she'd have a proper 1hr+ nap during the day but she only really has 20m-ish and usually on me.

First mission would be de-cluttering the room, and for that i need to tidy my bedroom so i have room for other stuff

I need to remove the dado, remove the weird shelves, strip the walls, fill crack in ceiling from leak, fill in dents in walls from my neighbour bashing , gloss doors, windowsill and skirting, and panelling behind radiator. Paint ceiling (hate this job ) And then from there it would be a bit more bearable to do, i can just about handle wallpapering.

Problem is, the stairs are sorta open in the living room so i'd need to continue up there which is a big job in itself anyway. I need a ladder.

Also want to get rid of the ugly concrete hearth, but my friend said that might not be as simple as it sounds.


Waffle alert There - now i have a list ^^ i can get cracking :eek::eek::rotfl: (so i reckon this is about 2 yrs worth of work)
