  • Love the photos Claire, particularly the ones of Charlie and Reece in the tent indoors!

    The tent is brillant, has built in sun factor of 50+ and from tescos although I don't know how much as it was a present. :mad: However I spent an hour yesterday trying to get the barstewd thing back in the bag and gave up, tied it up with string and left it in the corner of the room til I have some patience (and time to look on youtube or something!)

    Charlie has had a brillant birthday weekend but is so tired now I don't know if we'll keep him awake til bedtime

    Thankfully Benjamin's efforts were on less than half a roll!

    Had an amusing moment with one of the cartons of toddler milk this morning (was seeing if it was worth me buying any for our jollies) Benjamin sucked a bit through the straw and then squeezed the carton so hard that both he and I got covered!

    We won't be buying any more LOL

    Elliot is terrible with things like this, he finds it too much fun to squirt the water/pop everywhere! :D

    Elliot's been to see his Nan this afternoon, for the first time in ages. She's now got a wig after loosing her hair because of the chemo, luckily he still recognised her! He's had great fun in the garden and a short trip to the park on his bike :)

    Just waiting for roast chicken dinner now, yum yum.

    Keely.

    ps-I will put some holiday pics on facebook soon.

    Hello everyone :)

    Enjoying your Sunday afternoon?

    We went for a walk earlier and ended up with me buying two tops that were in a sale and then we bought Smallville season 5 for £9 brand new :j:j

    Then we got some hot chocolate and squirty cream to have after our chocolate cake whilst watching Dexter season 1. A fab Sunday me thinks :p

    I kinda feel sorry for Lily, she wants to do alot of stuff sat up but she cant sit up for more than 15 seconds (ish). She doesn't rate her bumbo much and she justs falls and rolls with support cushions.

    When we sit her in the corner of the sofa she loves it, but eventually falls and rolls.

    Some gratious pics of Lily:
    In her sling, outwards facing for the first time :)

    Sami, I'd make pasta sauce with the peppers. Quarter them, remove seeds, roast skin side down in some oilive oil. Then remove the skins if you want, chop some raw garlic, slice the peppers, mix in the garlic and enough olive oil to cover them then leave in the fridge for a few hours. Serve with pasta of choice. mmmmmm

    Afternoon everyone. :wave:

    Did I read that Edgar had found his legs? :T

    Claire Lovely fb pics. Where is the beach? It looks fab.


    I'm having my homemade cold/septic throat cure. Warmed lemonade with crushed paracetamol, a spoon of honey and a shot of Jack - much better than that mass produced shoite! :D

    I'm able to open my mouth wide enough to see my throat today - it's not pleasant!


    I can't believe 'that' other thread is still going on! Is it wrong that I really want to find a p0rn0 style photo of some huge baps to post or send to a certain someone. Just to see if she dies from shock. :rotfl:

    Argh - whilst we were looking at the CBeebies and Thomas sites this afternoon Benjamin has managed to zoom in on the page so the text is massive. He did it about 5 times and I managed to zoom out next time he pressed whatever button he was pressing but now he is in bed and I can't find out how to change it back!!!

    Trying to get hold of hubby to suggest he might want to stay out for the night :cool: but haven't managed so far!


    Edit - have done it - I like you all better in normal size LOL!

    Where is everyone?

    Hello,

    Hugs

    Yay for talking and walking

    We've had a lovely day. Katie and I walked to church (approx 3 miles round) I was a mean mummy and didn't take the pushchair Katie managed it all apart from the last 50 yards, I'm most impressed as she spent a good 45 minutes after the service running riot with her friends.

    It also meant she slept for 2 hours this afternoon.

    We've also had a very yummy food day, everymeal was a CFR recipe, Katie rediscovered Butternut squash.

    I should have taken a picture, before she was walking round the house with a tea towel round her neck, a pair of her knickers on her head and her sweeping brush, saying she was a queen!

    Later I said that I said that she could stay in her dress for a little bit longer, she replied no a huge bit.

    I'm sure the queen spends many a Sunday afternoon walking around Buck.Palace with her knickers on her head and a sweeping brush! :rotfl:

    I know, I saw that earlier. They suggested that it was a lie that breast milk is antibacterial :rotfl:. There are some serious wind up merchants on that thread. I've stopped reading it now.

    Bit of a down day here. Henry has been hot, clammy and whingy and I have felt like crap so had a few tears at OH earlier. It's been one of those weekends where he has just been at work loads and I have felt like a lone parent, but H is in bed and I plan to follow shortly as I'm working an early tomorrow.
