((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.
(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.

Morning:)

((hugs)) to Michelle.

((hugs)) to poorly 3, feel free to dump your kids on my doorstep and go home to bed;)

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 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?

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

ManOnTheMoon

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.

BrunoM

Hehe Hammy well I am not "young" either, about to be 36 - but still!

Morning all, Saturday morning 'ritual' at MFD towers, boys are having breakfast downstairs whilst I laze in the bath

What to do today? We are out for SILs birthday later so need to sort my roots out! And find an outfit that fits!

Bruno do you have your eye on any pans? I can thoroughly recommend the Jamie Oliver tefal pans, not a huge fan of JO but his pans are beautiful


Big hugs 3 and well done to v for settling in her big girl bed.

I want to buy DSS some balls that sink to the bottom of a swimming pool so he could dive to get them but I can't seem to find any....


Any ideas peeps?

Hockey pucks? But I love those clams and they look like they'd feel nice in your hand.

Hugs, Michelle, I'm so sorry for your loss. That's a lovely photo.

My grandmother died when I was pregnant, I miss her so much.

Hugs and Lemsip to you, 3, I'm sorry you're still rotten.

Enjoy your holiday Maz

Mel, I would probably add rosemary and thyme to the beef stew - or else a bunch of chilli

Bruno my closest link to Sigmund Freud was the Freud Museum :rotfl:

Sounds like a lovely time Ladybird, sorry Izzy wasn't well. BTW, you're a dressmakey type of person aren't you? Do you take commissions?

Sami, I'm glad Chris enjoyed nursery. I see a lot of parents taking their kids to the nursery at the large office across the road from me and they all seem to be ridiculously well dressed. If I knew my kid was going to be playing with paint she'd be in the rattiest clothes I could find!

Halfcost.co.uk have DVD box sets from £5 if anyone's doing early Christmas shopping.
