    Aless - is the £100 challenge a challenge on here, or is it something you're doing yourself using Weezl's site?

    I try to have really quick and easy things on Tues, Wed and Thurs each week as they are the days I work and I like to spend my time after work with Caitlin instead of cooking. We don't start cooking until after she's in bed, so quick and easy on these nights is good if we want to sit down before 9pm!

    Just a personal challenge...
    top 2013 wins: iPad, £50 dental care, £50 sportswear, £50 Nectar GC, £300 B&Q GC; jewellery, Bumbo, 12xPringles, 2xDiesel EDT, £25 Morrisons, £50 Loch Fyne

    would like to win a holiday, please!!

  • Stupid website ate my post :(

    We had a lovely time last night at the wedding. Izzy was well behaved last night, excpet for being sick everywhere :eek:. She felt better after and went to bed without any fuss, and we had a lovely time except for DH being KH on the way there.

    I shall have a read back in a mo, but I see sympathy is due to Michelle :( I've gone from 3 grandparents to 0 in less than 3 years and it sucks :(

    ((Hugs)) Michelle - but a lovely photo you have to show her as she grows up so she can remember him.

    The other baby being voted for with MFD's Benjamin in the Stokke competition is mine. :D
    (I've fb added you too).

    I hope everyone is good this morning.

    I still feel rubbish. My throat is still killing me. :( V slept for most of the night, just had a mumble/grumble at 2.45, but went straight back off with a cuddle until just before 7.
    I however, have woke up every hour sweating/shivering/hurting and now tummy ache, probably from my diet of Beechams hot lemon.

    OH didn't get in from work til just before 5 so I have no idea what time he'll be up to help.

    Sami Glad to hear nursery went well:)


    I made some soup overnight in the slow cooker, it is beef, carrots, onions, tomatoes, beef stock, salt n pepper.......it is fairly nice but lacking in something, what hebs or spices could i add that would compliment beef???????

    Mel - garlic? Rosemary? Chili/cayenne? Tin of tomatoes? Bovril?

    3, that sounds miserable :( you poor thing. It doesn't sound like it's showing any signs of improving, are you sure it's "just" cold/flu?

    My grandparents all trickled away from 3 to 0 over the course of my childhood - one lived in Canada too (I am half Canadian) so didn't get to see much of her and her siblings... I have recently embarked on a big family tree exercise to try to capture stuff while I still have living relatives to tell me things! I got carried away with the extending tree thing rather than details though... I have nearly 600 people mapped now :eek: and ultimately the most tenuous links ever (and I mean really tenuous) like W.H. Auden and Sigmund Freud :p but not nearly enough about my grandparents' early lives, their siblings and so on... it's entertaining though :)

    I am so old :( my fun hobby is my family tree and I am thinking of treating myself to some decent pots and pans for my birthday :( where did it all go wrong...
  • Hugs 3

    Seriously bad night here and tooth #4 still isn't fully through *arghh*

    Garlic and/or a bit of mustard would go nice Mel....

    Any one got a Bounce & Spin - how long do your littles use it for?
    The one thing children wear out faster than shoes is parents ;):o:D

    Family trees are great :) I got a super duper set of new pans a few months back and they are fab and I love them :rotfl:but then again I am actually quite old :p

    Sounds like alot of unwell people right now. I hope you all get better soon.

    Grandparents - I only remember one and he was the closest person in my family I was too, and I only saw him once every three months. Girls have never had grandparents, so don't know any difference.

    Have a great holiday Mazcabs.

    Yeah I think it needed garlic, I ran out! It has got a tin of toms and Bovril in it, maybe I will chuck a bit of chilli in one bowl full and see how that is, thanks:)

    We have bounce and spin Zebra....K uses it for about 30 secs maybe 1-2 times a day, although he will sometimes go for a week or so without even looking at it.
