    I'm back! And pleased to report weezl is a Real Person. I have also discovered the secret to her success...Fergie & Kessie are such angel babies!! Generally very content, quiet and non-demanding. No wonder she's able to get so much accomplished while still looking after them. No, not jealous at all. Mr weezl is also a very nice husband and good daddy, so I'm sure that helps a bit :)

    Finn got stroppy several times during the day - he doesn't do extended periods of time in the pushchair well (prefers to be out rolling around, which museums aren't very conducive to), but it was very cute when Fergie kept offering him one of his colourful plastic cups at lunchtime :D.

    Nico, lovely photo! She's so cute.

    SS, well done on getting your list almost accomplished!

    caz, did you say snow?!

    Right, I am cream crackered...off to find something caffeinated :o.

    Glad you had a nice day, and how fantastic that you met Weezl and her lovely boys:D

    I need everyone to pray for nice weather next week, at least on one day anyway as we are going to try and go to Alton Towers(Aless:D) I haven't told the boys yet as I want it to be a surprise, they are going to be ecstatic:D:D. Swimming on Monday or Tuesday with the older two (depends when I can get my mum round!) I honestly can't believe next week is the last full week of the holidays, it has gone past so quickly......

    Right off to make and eat dinner then may drag everyone out for a walk, if the rain holds off.

    xx

    I'd love some fancy pans! I have wilko's "expensive" ownn brand range ones. They are fab though, I got them in november and the non stick is still perfect.

    Jealous of you meeting Weezl, aless! I'd love to meet her and those gorgeous boys of hers.

    S is being naughty today, he's climbing up on the side of the armchair and throwing himself off. Its a miracle he hasnt knocked himself out yet. I took him elsewhere to play but he remembered and went straight back :eek: he just laughs at me if i tell him no!! I've never known such a hyperactive child, starting to get a little concerned about it as he never ever stops and his attention span seems practically non existant.

    Dora i was a beauty therapist many moons ago, can i give any advice?

    Boots used to do a mascara wand applicator to dye eyelashes with. You can use the same stuff to do your eyebrows, just brush on/wipe off very quickly and repeat until its dark enough.

    SOSOSO jealous Aless, glad you had a lovely time.

    Can't help with the beauty stuff, although the last item on my list was a face mask and I managed to get it done. Husband and Molly have gone off to the supermarket, we're having steak tonight nomnomnom.

    We have expensive pans, Husband went to cooking school and is a kitchen implement snob. He was aghast when he saw the kitchen in my old place, the only non-Ikea item was my handmixer and the only spices on the shelf were salt, pepper, oregano and sage.

    Hello AJ, have we "met"?

    Thanks lovely, but once I have no glasses on I can't see a thing! Plus I'm so fair I know I'd end up looking like a clown as I've left it too long. This is why I get someone to do it for me.
