  • MFD - Ouch, I'm good at doing that too :( Much better at that than I am at ironing in fact!
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)

    Krystal - how is your new dishwasher?

    FOR THE 1ST TIME EVER DAVID DIDN'T HAVE A FEED LAST NIGHT

    :rotfl: :D
    Aimee emptied it this morning and proudly declared there was nothing dirty left inside lol, and well done for no night feeds! :D
    Right - I am determined to see the sea this weekend. Any thoughts on Weston Super Mare vs Conwy (or similar N-Wales type place)?
    I wouldn't go to WSM if you want to see the sea, it's about 14miles out... But there's a nice beach... We took Aimee when she was about 14months old for a day trip and ended up stopping over night...

    Aimee's just bought home a party invite... The party is tomorrow... The invite has been in her drawer for "lots of days" :rolleyes:

    Sugar, my fairies haven't arrived because they're very slack... And your parcel is still sitting here... I will endeavor to [STRIKE]send Dave[/STRIKE] go to the post office tomorrow!
    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.

    MFD, ouchie, but you iron jumpers? Crazy lady :p That said, my grandma used to iron undies, which really is crazy.

    No idea how long madam will be BF, but how on earth do you hold an older baby? My arm already goes to sleep sometimes when I'm feeding Sophie.

    Cloth nappy users: the instructions for strip washing BumGenius tell me I need to use one teaspoon of Dawn liquid per tablespoon of washing powder. What's a non-American equivalent way of doing it, please?

    Edit: also, I iron nothing. If we have a special occasion that requires something be ironed, I look pitiful until Husband takes care of it because he has to do his shirt anyway and has a highly appropriate fear of me damaging something.

    LOL - I am nothing - 3's ironing obsession is legendary!!


    A few jumpers has increased the size of my ironing pile to simply massive rather than :eek: humungous though ;)

    SS, Dawn = washing up liquid. I've read many different ways of stripping nappies, though.

    I'm trying to upload a 20second video of A to facebook for her aunties and mse aunties (and Bruno) to see. It is telling me that therre are 629 hrs 5 mins remaining of upload time :rotfl:

    If that's true its gonna take me approx 3 months to upload :rotfl: *did I do the math correctly?*


    Edit: oooh something seems to have happened and it might have uploaded :D

    Edit 2: it's moved the the next stage, apparently it is encoding, whatever that means. I'm presuming this is a good thing ;)
