    Aless I'm also in the same camp - Husband and I both live in different countries from our families and while we sometimes miss them it's a choice we made.

    It's frustrating to try and juggle the needs of partner and family (gods that's true for me :o) but if one person is being unreasonable I do my best to point that out. I've handed Husband his butt a few times when he's stepped over the line - but I've done the same for my mother. Still though the mother being worried that Mrs Bruno would keep E from her has really made me worry and feel sad for everyone concerned all day, I want to give everyone a cup of tea and a hug that it's gone that far and that Bruno's in the midst.

    Amber looks gorgeous Tia

    Have been out for lunch with OH and my boys to Frankie & Bennys. Alex and Joe were both so well behaved and both ate loads.

    Somethings gone wrong in our house! Someone's replaced T0sser OH, with a Stepford one.:rotfl:

    I have all the silicone cake tins and silicone accessories from Poundland, they are fab and just as good as the more expensive silicone stuff I've bought elsewhere, she will love them CAFC!

    I'd seen a advert for the new Monkey Bizness in Eastleigh, it does look awesome. If its anywhere near as good as the one in Gosport it will most definitely be awesome!

    Thanks hun...
    What Im really after is a plastic mixing spoon, I could only find wooden and it looks really out of place.....

    Any ideas?

    :p

    I'll take a photo later and post up x

    Monkey Bizness Eastleigh is quite far for us, but I imagine Lewes would be too far to be convenient for everyone else? I can't remember what day of the week was agreed upon? Don't try and plan around me, but will try and see if we can come... (depending on any magical job offers *rolleyes*)

    It comes from fighter pilots, who are likely to vomit from the G-force effect, but since they wear oxygen masks they have to suck it up or drown in their own sick. Nice.

    Amber looks lovely as always.

    CAFC what about a silicon spatula instead?
