    My amazing animals treehouse thing has arrived. It looks great. Amber had a nose then I hid it for Christmas. She may be a bot old for it though? She's not into toys really, right now she has her books, a giraffe from the amazing animals train thing and an empty huggies box. And her new thing is staring out the window, our sofa is under the window so she can stand and nosey.

    I think I'll go collect my parcels from the PO and grab something for lunch from the shop.

    :eek: William is 90% towards standing up He was leaning on Henry's step in the bathroom with his hands and legs straightened, all he needed to do was striaghten his back and that would've been it! I'm sure thats way earlier than Henry was

  • I'd have offered to make you some lunch Tia but we have nothing... I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally fancy scrambled eggs on toast, but we have no butter for the toast :(

    Caitlyn just discovered the cheapy ball thing my Dad gave her for christmas... There are 4 balls and a hammer that you use to bang them into holes... She likes to just push them through the holes though... She has also started playing with little dolly things and putting on a really high pitched voice to talk to them... Ridiculously cute!!!
    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.

  • off out to a new playgroup.

    Sorry to hear the jabs were cancelled SS. Hope Molly is ok xx I'd be fuming at your friend too.
    Am I the only one who has no real inclination to go on a cruise? I've just never fancied it... I don't even fancy getting a ferry to anywhere either lol...

    I've never fancied a cruise either :o

    I like getting out and wandering about on holiday. We rarely make plans and just take each day as it comes. I think it's the rigid times on a cruise that puts me off. I'd rather eat my evening meal when I want to than book a dinner sitting, and wouldn't like keep checking my watch when I was off the ship to make sure we got back in time. My work life is governed by my watch and I love the freedom of not wearing it on holiday.

    The facilities on board the ships look brilliant though. I've done cruise mystery shopping and one boat (think it was Royal Carribbean) had a water park on board with slides and water spray things. It looked really good and both me and the lady wanted to go and play in it :rotfl:

    Just had a sandwich and we're just about to put Charlotte's school uniform on.
    Here I go again on my own....
  • Note to self... Tartar sauce does not a good butter substitute make... Especially when combined with scrambled egg...

  • I probably could have told you that, Krystal!

    Just had a stale roll for my lunch now off to work. My Mum has Henry and I'm not used to being at home without him, I keep expecting to hear him.

    10 bingoport posts done or today, just need to play a couple more games later I think.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    Is today her first day? Hope it goes well and that she really enjoys it. Apparently I liked school so much that when I was part-time (mornings) I used to try to stay all day by not going out when they told the part-timers to go.

    Eww Krystal! I usually turn to mayo when in need of bread moisturiser ;) although a bit of ketchup prob would work with scrabbled egg, maybe?

    I'm a bit torn on cruises, my mum's school friend died in the zebrugger ferry disaster so growing up it was still fresh in her memory and she passed her worry on to me n sis, ILs go on at least one cruise a year and love them, they usually go on big ammerican ones that have restaurants not set mealtimes - downside being they are full of ammerican's that think you're accent is 'cute' I imagine that gets old after ooh 5 seconds :p

    MIL is in charge of holiday shopping she always finds the best deal online then checks if the travel agent can get better/match, hasn't been an occasion yet in the last 3yrs where online has been any better ;) so we always have the personal service of Michelle keeping us up to date :D (yes, my ILs are ridiculous and go on about 6 holidays a year!)
