    We have rivers of snotty-snot here also.

    I think I'm going to try that apple bread, you just knock it up like normal bread with the kneading and the rising?

    Caz, it's housework day here too. I have been putting it off for too long. Time to get cracking on.

    Hi all, sorry not been on much.

    Me and DH had a huuge arguement and we're still trying to work things out, we decided that we need to make time for us because when Lily goes to sleep we tend to just do our own things that we cant do when Lily is awake and ignore each other.

    But we had a really nice day out yesterday :)

    We have bought Lily a baby walker thing from the baby event, it was the only one not reduced, but its the most colourful. Now she has worked out that its just a seat, she loves it :)

    She keeps running over my toes though :mad::rotfl:

    My sister is coming down today as DH is at work until 7pm, so i might make her look after Lily so i can have a bath, mwahahaha!

    BM, i hope you and Keira are ok. Being robbed is my worst fear, especially as when we locked ourselves out FIL took our front window off easily and silently and im afraid the local chavs saw him doing it :o:rotfl:

    Tia - the instructions are for the bread maker (which I've done before and is good when you wanna be lazy), but you can also make like normal dough. I tend to knead for 8-10 min, then let rise for 45min - 1hr. Then make it up, let rest for 30 min and then bake. Have only made it a few times, so I'm sure it's very open to experimentation! But oh so yummy.

    EA, it is important you guys spend some time together. Sounds like you nipped it in the bud before arguments got really bad, which is the important thing! Maybe even have a date night sometimes & get a babysitter? (says the person who's had 1 in all over 10 months :o)

    We always talk about having a date, but we both dont want to leave Lily.
    We left her with her uncle when we had the scan and she cried for ages and even cried all the way home and i was with her.
    DH thinks that the only thing we cant do with Lily is go to the cinema, which isn't that important so she can come with us on our 'dates'.

    The arguement was more about something he did, but it bought up all the other little snappy arguments we've been having.


    Lily is so sweet, she is feeding herself her bottle. Hands free feeding :D

    You could always have dates at home after Lily's gone to bed. Maybe set aside one evening a week or something to make sure that you definitely get to spend time together with just the two of you?
