    I got one GISI - and I shaved my legs! Took ages, and a machete but it's done. Just as well, since they were hairier than Husbeast's.

    It made me far from broody tho....in fact I was getting panicky and feeling sick at the thought of labour! 2 glasses of wine later and I'm nice and chilled!
    Pretty much how I felt... Only without the wine to calm me lol....

    I had a really crappy night... Woke for no particular reason, took ages to settle off, then hubby decided to shuffle round the bedroom sniffing repeatedly at 5am when he got up... Could have just gone to the bathroom or downstairs to put his pants on, but no... Much better to shuffle round the bedroom and disturb me...

    Still, Caitlyn's discovered weetabix minis and now I don't have to feed her breakfast and it's gone in minutes... Result :D

    Off to see if I can get a shower while Aimee entertains Caitlyn... I stink...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I'm going to watch Cherry later once DS has gone to school :)

    I use a breadmaker, my childminder gave me a great recipe and I've never found one better. Let me know if anyone would like it :)

    Well school is a 3 minute walk away, it's drizzling here and DS can't believe we're not going in the car *rolleyes*!

    Off to do brekkie - catch up later.....

    ETA - anyone who makes their own bread....how do you cut it?

    With a bread knife :D

    You get the hang of it. I used to cut wonky slices at first, but can cut nice straight ones now.

    Off to work this morning. Going to try and rush round so I can get back to take Charlotte to nursery.

    Have a good day all xx
    Here I go again on my own....

    ANd those women complaining at the young mums at the beginning - well when Millie's Mum and I were out at Harewood House on Friday with another 2 mums we had about 3 different women moaning about us pushing prams round.
    Why would anyone need to complain about people pushing prams? (I get annoyed by people who fill the pavement with prams and expect you to jump out of the way but I'm assuming you weren't doing anything like that.)

    I don't - that's what husbands are for.

    It takes a bit of practice to cut the bread - but the one thing you definitely need is a good bread knife. The handles on my knife set were ruined last week so I bought a value knife set to be going on with till I replaced them properly. Big mistake! It was rubbish. I now have a good one again and it's made all the difference. Keep your knife flat along the top of the bread and don't cut down too fast :)

    Morning ladies well after saying my leak was fixed my washing machine is now not working as its not getting any water suuply to it! :( I have a pile of washing to do too, Just as well T has lots of clothes, tho I may run out. Repair man cant get here till tomorrow.

    I'd love a bread maker but have no room in the kitchen as it is, I love my appliances. Will probably get one if I ever get a bigger kitchen.

    Have some lovely pork and apple sausages I want to do today and we were gonna go swimming and I was going to pop them in the slow coooker, but I usually do them with gravey but I dont want to ruin the yummy taste, anyone any ideas?

    Right going to see if T will let me watch Cherry while I give her breakfast.
