    OMG my baby is unbelievably stroppy. If the horror in the shop downstairs wasn't a chainsmoker I'd haul the baby down there and tell her that since her kids woke mine and put her in a horrible mood she can damn well entertain her :mad:

    So I am going to wrestle some tasty pork, carrot and potatoes into her and we're going to the post office and then to look at suitcases. Husband's cabin bag is falling to bits and I have decided that I want to give him his Christmas presents in a new one.

    afternoon all

    got out of the house today and feel better for it, although am now dog tired LOL
    Got my sister's birthday presents from DH and I and then something from Landen as well....

    Landen was very well behaved and fell asleep after about 20 mins of walking.
    back home for chippy lunch and we're watching the last lord of the rings whilst daddy gets over his man flu.... i feel a bit guilty as he looks and sounds like carp and has a temp......

    Our new flat has a very, very purple master bedroom. I like purple and all, but this is a lighter shade that's quite feminine. DH wants to paint it, but I'm loathe to put money and effort into rentals just for something silly like changing the wall color.

    Weezl might know this, but is there any reason not to give liver to babies?

    Beenie whatever happend to the community service guys doing your decorating? i know its not ideal but they will be well checked and it will save you from having to do it!
    My house is rented and the whole thing is magnolia still as i find it easier with little handprints and the occassional picture lol! Every few weeks i hire a carpet cleaner for the cream carpets(can you tell it was a man who owns this place lol!) and give the walls a once over, its now more than overdue and starting to annoy me!

    CAFC Glad you managed to get out for a bit and chippy lunch sounds sooo good! the only downside to living here is you need to travel to get anything :(
    Think my plans are to clean and sort out today and hopefully if the weather holds out then we will have a nice day out tom.
    better go Erin is pushing her bottle in my hand and saying 'thank you' hehehe

    Caz the HV decided against it because although they'd be supervised while doing the work, they would still go away knowing what i own/lack of security system/the fact i'm a single woman... etc.

    I think the council run a handyman scheme but it's strictly limited to elderly people who absolutely definitely have no able bodied family close by.

    Offical advice is no more than once a week or not at all if you are giving vitamins. (And official advice is to give vitamins up to age five.) I think the issue is that if you eat loads of liver you can end up with too much vitamin A which can be harmful.

    Beenie - Have you tried searching for local skills swap? Sometimes people offer handy man services in return for something like ironing/cake baking.... not sure if there is one round our parts.....
