    Hey all

    I am back from the lakes, we had a FAB time, Elliot was sooooooo good, I was expecting some over tired crying but nothing like that, he even fell asleep twice in the back pack carrier when we were walking, he managed to sleep through two meals and was just generally great

    He even slept from 10pm last night till 6.30am without a wake up at all!!! (he had been asleep since 7pm but woke for a bottle at 10 in the restaurant)

    I am sooooooooooo tired though lol

    Can someone please fill me in I will never catch up on 3 days lol

  • Welcome back Kindof! Glad you had a great time. I'm probably a rubbish person to do a catch up but all I can remember is-

    -Elle's Rhys is having an eye op in Jan/Feb next year
    -JAM has a lovely nappy pic on FB that needs votes (Like Little Green Earthlets then it's the pic we've all commented on)
    -Molly took steps
    -Charlotte had issues with Marks and Spencer
    -Tia's Chris is doing amazingly at school
    -Sami's Chris was poorly
    -Caz's Charlie has hand, foot and mouth so Caz and R-mac's meet is postponed
    -3 found her keys, and her OH is signed off at work
    -Gill is on her holibobs
    -Em baked a giant cupcake


    Ummmm, can't remember anything else. I've probably remembered the random stuff and forgotten the bigger stuff.


    Ooh, I came on to ask whether anyone has used this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HG-Mould-Spray-500ml-Cleaning-Products-/250694063534?pt=UK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA&hash=item3a5e87d5ae#ht_707wt_704. Our shower is pretty manky and this has amazing reviews online. I might have to try it.

    Katie all snuggly in bed, DH at work until 10pm.

    Just had an email from my letter editor confirming cost of services (a batch of chocolate fudge brownies) so will need to pop out for the ingredients for those tomorrow.

    I'm off to sort out the mess I made of the calling bird.

    See you tomorrow.

  • Hi everyone,

    Have read back some bits, but not everything sorry...


    HUGS to Charlie - hope he gets better soon.

    YAY to Christopher - good lad!!



    I worked from home with Benjamin this afternoon. Benjamin was moaning about something when he was trying to get off the chair and I asked him what was wrong and he said 'Stuck mummy!' and he had gotten his little foot stuck in the back of the chair!

    I have never taught him stuck so I am very :T about this new word!!

    Although he wouldn't have got his foot stuck if he didn't insist on wearing his bl00dy crocs all the time *rolleyes*

    Hope everyone is well xx

    Marks and Spencer rang back this afternoon. They couldn't ring earlier because a cat with a brown nose ate all the fruit and all the people were getting cross because they could only buy vegetables. They've sorted out the icing and they're going to give it to Mark tomorrow. He can't get it this evening as he's going to play football now it's not raining.

    Still no idea what she is talking about :rotfl:

    Bless her. She's got such a fab imagination. And totally LOLed at Mark!

    That's not a bad list!!

    Haven't tried that spray but do let me know if it works. :eek: at the price inc delivery but I have black mould under the sealant around the bath and I've tried scrubbing with bleach and a toothbrush but can't shift it. It appeared after we'd been away at MIL's for a week :(. Also have some green slime ( _pale_ ) inside the lip bit at the bottom of the shower screen which I am going to attempt to remove tomorrow - just hope it will come off so I can get to the inside (and then back on again)

    See I told you all I needed to join Flylady - my house is such a mess!

    MDW thanks for the inspitation, I just dashed off to put brownies in the oven! I was sat here thinking I wanted a pudding and was considering apple crumble but decided a warm gooey brownie would be better. New recipe from Hummingbird bakery cookbook (only slightly amended!) so should be good.

    Forgot what else I wanted to say now as I caught up before I did the brownies.

    Oh yeah - well done Chris and yey for Wee James :D
  • hi all, just popping in to say hi. Sorry not been on lately, still been hectic, Toby still not 100% following the salmonella and has been waking lots... And now we think he has hand foot and mouth. Its going round his nursery and he has a blister like spot on him today and I've got one too. hope he is better soon, although he does seem a lot happier in himself today which is good. Hope everyone is well xx
