    Wow, it must be so hard trying for all that time. I found it hard with Alfie and that was no time at all in comparison! (15 months)

    Right, off to bed now. Got a couple coming to me in the morning for cupcake tasting so need to be up and with it early to get myself decent before they get here.

    Night all x

    CAFC i lost your quote but re. Changing Rooms :p my only preference is that the wallpaper is cheap :p I can't get away with just painting which is a shame, and cba lining it all and then painting (ends up being just as expensive as pretty paper), would rather just get some plain paper in some neutral colour.

    Soooo, have begrudgingly paid for a subscription to Homeswapper, i keep registering for te free trial but you can't see all the homes like that, so paid £8ish for 3 months, and someone has approached me already but she lives in one of those loooooooooooong streets with a tiny backyard. I do want to move but i have to be realistic - once i moved somewhere like that (it's a bit rough, although only 5 mins walk from here lol) - then there's slim chance of ever getting another swap to another house from there.

    I've seen a house round the corner from my mother, but she doesn't want mine she wants a 3 bed in a MING area, so i'm hoping if i find someone from the MING area to want mine - then we could do a 3-way swap... Council list isn't showing anyone though :( All the 3 bed people want 4 beds, and the few that would have a 2 bed, want rural. However i am happy to move into a 2 bed as long as the area is ok... then i know i would find a swap into a 3 eventually.

    Katie was funny tonight - DH put her to bed, came down thinking she was asleep, a little head peeps around the door 2 minutes later!

    Beenie - that has put such a sweet picture in my head. Is C enjoying his summer holidays?

  • Benjamin was talking and singing to himself for over an hour tonight (I think he was overtired). At one point I went up just to check he hadn't done a poop (which sometimes keeps him awake) and whilst I was giving him a cuddle he was putting his head on my shoulder and then 'popping up' to look at me and laughing. We both ended up in fits of giggles :D

    I have done 20 mins of Wii Fit and 30 mins of ironing tonight and I feel much better for not spending the evening sat on my arris :D

    Well since you said that, i took a pic :D

    Yeah he's loving it, but i'm not :p I am liking the break away from the routine but it's hard to keep him happy and try not to let him out there all the time with the moron neighbours, he plays out a fair bit but he'd be out all day if he had his way.

    MFD - very cute.

    Katies favourite game is I sit on the floor and she gives me a big kiss and a cuddle and pushes me backwards so she ends up lying on my chest, she finds it hilarious.

    Beenie - just I thought - Katie sleeps the same way hands above her head. They look quite alike too.

    I think Thomas has just discovered that I'm there when I'm feeding him iykwim! Towards the end of most feeds he starts popping off the boob and looking up at me smiling. I put him back on then seconds later he does it again...and again...and again lol. So cute. He was doing it during his last feed before bed tonight and I had to make myself stare in another direction altho I desperately wanted to see him smiling at me :)
