    btw I have to share because it made me smile, FIL is in Germany atm because he is involved it some super important financial IT shiz that is europewide, he's there to find out why they are massively falling behind everyone else - super efficient germans my bum :p

    I'll let you know :)

    German have excellent propaganda. They're a bit rubbish at actually backing it up though.

    Husband said dinner would take 40 minutes and started making it. 90 minutes ago. I think this is a record! *appreciative hungry wife*

    i am impressed, Kian has just eaten an adultish slice of pizza, a pot of apple/pear puree, 2 muller star fromage frais for his tea with a biscotti as well.
    dont think i've seen him eat so much before.

    Somebody gave me a tip today that's never occured to me... Have your tea/coffee before you go shopping... Take your mug with you... And have another before you leave...

    Which reminds me, Sami... I can't believe you don't know what the meatballs are supposed to look like... I see the picture every time I go into the cafe!

    We just had meatballs in tomato sauce with spaghetti and garlic bread... All home made by moi with ingredients supplied by surestart in the "cooking around the world" thing I've been going to... Usually whatever we cook is good enough for Caitlyn and I to have for lunch but today there was loads so I saved it for tea... Very :money: Just have to put the children to bed in a bit and have us some [STRIKE]roses[/STRIKE] pudding...

    Sugar & Susan, fairies should fly tomorrow / Friday... I have a few things I need to post to my brother too so need to sit down and package it all up...
    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.

    Letter back from proof reader/editor, apparently I was too polite, so I'll print it out tomorrow for delivering.

    Phoned GP today about getting my medical sick note, only the doctor I saw last week is off sick, so have to see another doctor tomorrow morning before one will be issued :mad:

    Katie has just wolfed down, half a baked spud (insides only), tomatoes, cucumber, mushrooms and a Katie size CFR Veggie Burger, a plum and is now scoffing chocolate coated sunflower seeds and raisins, courtesy of Graze.com.

    She'll be in bed early tonight, she was almost asleep on the settee before tea.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)
