    Clever Izzy!

    And clever Weezl too, anything that gets Mama and Papa a bit more sleep is a win in our house :)

    It turns out that the Halfcost free delivery requires a £25 minimum spend so I am buying some cleaning stuff, some gifty-type bits for the emergency gift cupboard and a few things for next year's charity shoeboxes - and with some clever buying and the 10% discount my total is £25.17 :money: I agonised over a coat for me but decided that my wool one is fine even if it does smell like a wet dog once it gets snowed on :)

    Oh and you know how they say you won't win on swagbucks within an hour or so of a win, its lies, lies I tell you! :D I have won a few times within minutes as has one of my mates. I've also just ordered my first amazon voucher :j

    Anyone fancy a 30day free trial of lovefilm with a free £10 toysRus voucher?

    I've won loads today Sami - I think they're making up for being down so much this week. It's never ever hapened to me before.

    The chinese chippy down our road is the only place in the world that sells doner kebabs that are edible when sober. :rotfl:

    The recipie in this book has come highly recommended, and it's oven baked so shouldn't be too greasy.

    I could PM it to you if you want to try.

    YES PLEASE shamefully i eat them when sober :eek:

    :mad: I've been making films of Molly playing on the floor, I gave her the hat I stole from a drunk guy and watched her answering her phone. Husband walks in, sees me filming and makes a sarky comment about the hat in a really unpleasant tone of voice so my lovely film is now tainted by Unnecessarily Sarky Husband :mad:

    We have an award winning kebab shop across the street. They're out of this world good when drunk; excellent when sober.

    Becles Your posts always make me tired. :o Do you ever sit down with your feet up and eat chocolate?

    I rarely have time to! There's always so many jobs to do and it's a struggle getting through them all.

    I'm having a cuppa at my desk after eating tea, but so far I've been up three times:

    1) because the washer finished and I wanted to put another load in ready to go out in the morning
    2) to retrieve a piece of Geomag that Jack was chewing
    3) because I remembered I needed to put bread in the bread maker for tomorrow.

    If I'd left the bread and washing till after my coffee, I'd have probably forgotten about them :o
    Ok just had a mild panic, E has started shaking his head from side to dide, kinda like he is saying no, and I panicked cos I'd heard it was an autistic trait, but I googked it and apparantly its quite common in babies his age

    Does anyone else's baby do this?

    Charlotte did the shakey head thing and used to grin manically while she was doing it. It was sort of freaky but funny at the same time.

    Just asked why I keep getting my head bitten off and I've been told to f*** off. Guess it's not a good time to sort problems out.

    Took Charlotte to the play park this afternoon but it was icy cold. I was standing pushing her on a swing but the wind was really biting into my skin.
    Here I go again on my own....
