    Paint doesn't look too bad Beenie. See how it looks in daylight when it's dry tomorrow. Sometimes it looks really pants at night when it's wet with the light on, then you get up and like it the next day. It looks more milky coffee coloured on the picture. When you said cinnamon, I was expecting an orangy brown colour. Is that what you were expecting?

    Hope so! No it looked light creamy fudgey colour on the label :(
  • What a strange day for FB chats - the school 'hard man' sent me a friend request yesterday so I said yes with the intention of having a nosey and then deleting him...

    He has messaged me a bit tonight to see how I am and what I am up to and he is a 'normal', sound, grown up individual with a wife and 4 kids!! However did that happen?!!


    ...although I will still probably delete him in a few days ;)

  • Oh xmaslolly, I really hope your LO is ok. Lots of hugs for you and A. XXXXX

    I agree with becles about the paint, its more of a very light mocha.

    That pic is goooooorgeous som! Her smile is beautiful.

    And all this talk of prams/buggies is v.interesting. How much is a stokke?!!!!!! EEK! I only have a maclaren XT and that seems fine for me since ive never had another pram to compare it too. It is a PIA to not have A facing me but she probably enjoys the scenery more as shes a nosey baby. There is a stokke on ebay in the same town as me, looks like its not going to go for that much, probably around the 150 mark? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Stokke-pram-/120620794091?pt=UK_Baby_BabyTravel_Pushchairs_GL&hash=item1c158f40eb If anyone wants to bid on it, I can pick it up for free?

    Morning

    Up early and out to boot camp this morning. I liked the early Saturday session best.

    Then I've got jobs to do for work afterwards, and we're watching the match this afternoon.

    Have a good day all xx
    Here I go again on my own....
  • Morning all, Caitlyn's extra screechy today for no particular reason? It's getting a bit irritating... Although she's sat feeding herself rice crispies now so that seems to have cheered her up...

    With regards to pushchairs, I stripped all the oyster down and washed all the fabric bits ready to sell but DH has now decided Caitlyn doesn't look nearly as comfortable in the Maclaren... I've noticed she also doesn't go to sleep quite so easily, so now I'm a bit torn about what to do...
    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.

  • My driving instructor just txt to cancel my lesson, not a big surprise because she cancelled Thursdays after her sister got rushed to hospital... But I wish she'd told me last night... I've lost my lie in now... :(
