    :rotfl: Krystal.

    I've just managed to throw something away from every room in my apartment :j My to-do list has now expanded to 23 things, but 16 of them are done and the last ones require that I go outside so can wait till Molly's either had a snooze or her lunch, whichever comes first.

    Hello :wave:

    Back at work today after a week off.
    Have only read the last two pages.

    Happy Birthday Aless. I hope you are off enjoying a Starbucks.
    Yay for a great day Mel. (Do I need to go back to look at photos?)
    Yay for poops salesshopper
    Big Hugs for Millies Mum, so sorry for your neighbours and what a horrible situation for you to be in.

    Had a great week off, and family time (Swimming, cinema, bowling, eating out), better weather would have made it fabulous, but well it is England after all.

    Alex has decided that 7m is not bedtime, 9.30 suits him better thank you very much and mummy and daddy say no, no, no. So have been battling with him all week, and he seems to be winning, sigh......

    New from chez workinmumy (if not already seen of Facebook). My fabby DS1 has been picked by a football scout to play at the Man United Youth Academy. They are running camps at the local sports centre, so no travel involved (yay!). He starts on 10 Sept and is so excited. He has an official letter from Man U and everything. We are all very happy for him, especially my side of the family, which is the Scouse side :rotfl:

    Right really need to do some work, but the network card is broke in my PC, so er can't. Should really catch up on the paperwork sat on my desk

    Edit: Just found your photos mel. Gorgeous!
  • Gah, just lost a long post.

    Hmmm... in summery;
    Sorry I haven't been on for a while. There's too much for me to read back everything, though I've had a quick skim.
    Redmel - I love your christening photos, both of them look gorgeous.
    Bruno - it sounds like CONGRATULATIONS are in order :).
    Millie'smum - I'm sorry, what a crappy thing to happen while you are helping someone out.
    Kyrstal - I laughed at your daughter's comment - don't they come out with some crackers sometimes!
    Workinmummy - what great news, what a talented DS you must have.
    Happy birthday Aless.
    I know I must have missed lots of people out - so hugs to anyone who needs them, and apologies for not acknowledging everyone :o.

    In sleep-related news - Freddie has slept better for the last couple of nights, just waking up a couple of times, so I'm not as zombie-fied as I was last week.
    In other news, I'm officially under 12 stone for the first time since F was born :j and Amelie had decided that she enjoys swimming lessons after all!
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)

    Hi all. :wave:

    I've not been on for a few days - OH has been working over the weekend so i've had all three children on my own, and I don't like it. :( I haven't had a minute to myself.

    Hope I haven't missed anything important.

    I've been back to see Mels photos - beautiful Mel, I love the colours of their outfits too. So glad you had a good day.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALESS. :D

    Nothing exciting happening here, apart from V managed to climb out of her cot last night! :eek:
    She was doing her normal minute or two of grumbling, but then got louder so OH went to see what was wrong. She was standing at the top of the stairs. So i'm shopping for a new safety gate this afternoon to go either on the bedroom door or at the top of the stairs.

    Do you think it was a one off 3? Will you be persevering with the cot?

    Your post on facebook last night made me think we really need to get the big cotbed up this weekend... Caitlyn's such a chimp I'm surprised she hasn't climbed out of hers yet already!

    Just put some savoury muffins in SJ, wish us luck ;)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I'm absolutely crying here... Aimee's playing with her sylvanian families and I just heard her say "if you don't do as you're told, they fork you in the bottom" and she's making one poke the other with a pitchfork!!!!
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sorry just a quicky, Millie's Mum was it your birthday yesterday? I'm sure I saw it on FB but forgot instantly so Happy Birthday if it was :D

    Happy Birthday Aless, I was thinking of you last night watching big bro coz they were eating Mexican :p

    3 - I have the flexigate here mum dug it out, not sure you can wait tho?
    It does have a problem with it; the top bar is stuck on one length, even hubby's mighty strength can't get the button to press in and the nut is missing where you screw the pressure bit in, so well its probably a no go, but if you want me to bring it next time we meet its yours, if not I'll see if anyone on freegle can make use.

    I'm not sure if I'll be coming to monkey forest or not as its a nursery day and I wouldn't go with out Chris and don't want to take him out of nursery so close to starting but I have no space in my car anyway so its all a pointless typing exercise from me :p
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    I'm hoping it was a one off - she went back in and straight to sleep.

    We really need to seriously start thinking about the sleeping arrangements. I'm thinking of the Ikea loft bed for L with the day bed underneath for V. She's 18 months old now, we need to get her in with L at some point soon.

    That's what's wrong with the one we've got - maybe it's a common fault?

    But thanks anyway - i'll go shopping this afternoon, hopefully asda have some of the fixed ones left.
