    The bath toys are disgusting! Have just thrown all of ours after I chopped one open, am deeply disturbed, will have to order the ducks without holes now....
    I am waiting for OH to come home so I can suitably horrify him - last week I discovered mould on the outside of a bath toy and he hadn't even noticed.

    wow thats amazing - I do hope he knows all about mse baby Daisy too. Perhaps she is the first mse baby?! That's so exciting! Now what thread did you meet on........:rotfl:

    before mse I couldn't ever imagine meeting a total stranger from the internet - but I've been to two mse meets, one in 2006 and one in early 2010 (or was it late 2009 :rotfl:) and going shopping with mse friend cazcoob this week. I think it's an amazing tool, used responsibly. Just look at your experience!

    First MSE baby to a MSE couple who got MARRIED;) (as far as I know)

    I still think DH is after my money and that's why he met me! You've got to be careful with these men off the net;):rotfl:

    EDIT: we "met" on The Arms back in 2007 and married in 2008 (xmas eve :))

    ANOTHER EDIT: Martin doesn't know about Daisy (I don't think)

    please feel free to ignore but i need a mini rant before i explode, last night i spent one n half hours cleaning all the carpets downstairs and OH has just let his dad in who was wearing muddy trainers, i nearly flipped, its OH's fault he should have asked him to take his shoes off he knows his shoes are always muddy cos he goes running, but :mad: and i was just saying i wanted to go tesco (alone lol) when kids tea was ready and he's just disapeared to his dads so not gonna be able to go unless i take the kids, which just aint happening, wouldnt be good for my stress levels!!

    sorry about that :o

    On a brighter note i went to the hairdressers today and now have a fringe and silky hair :D

    Hope everyones ok?
  • Been out at a big 'networking' conference today - was majorly depressing :( The construction industry has all but dried up. I did manage to collar one of the client big-wigs for a while to 'air some views' :D


    On the way home I noticed a big sign at the side of the motorway announcing that the retail park 5 mins from where I used to work now has a Gap Outlet - new jeans and a top for me and a winter coat for Benjamin :D


    and a new suit and top for me and some new cups to replace the ones I smashed at DH's birthday party ;)


    Yay for Mistress Molly and her walking, Landen for his rolling, SM's ex-area manager for sorting out her FB faux-pas, Annabel for sitting and concentrating and someone else who I have forgotten :o


    My ASDA delivery arrived with no DSi for DSS :mad: I only ordered from ASDA because I was buying the DSi - I felt like throwing my eggs at the drivers head :mad: why do they do that? You would think that internet ordering systems would be sophisticated enough to stop selling them once they had no stock :mad:



    I did have more to say...


    EDIT - every so often I boil Benjamin's bath toys with a spot of fairy liquid...seems to keep them from going manky. I also make sure that they are as empty of water as they can be and have a few hours to dry before I put them away.

    I have been meaning to ask what other people do for ages!!
