    im finding here very hard to buy for this year we have got a couple of netbooks cheap and i havent got anything else for her? her birthday is in a fortnight and i managed to get her a new pair of riding boots and her phone which will cover that. think she will have a friend over for dinner and possibly to sleep over but that all depends on the attitude :D

    Lewis has just come in all confused when we told him he was early, he had not changed his watch and was very inpressed he could go back out!

    Oh dear Tara.....Doesn't sound good for you at the moment. I'm sure everything will work out in the end though:)

    3 - T is far more communicative than K already, you can have two way conversations with her, she is very funny... L walked VERY quickly though!!!!! He is currently dressed like some kind of zombie, with rats coming out through the ribs of the costume! K keeps pointing at them and going Rraaaaarrrrrrr haha! K also runs up to L and hugs him everytime he enters the room, he doesn't do it with anyone else:cool:

    I might make a cake today, I am doing my vbf little girls cake for the 13th and have a new sponge recipe to try out, still undecided what cake to do for L for the 16th he will be 10, Hmmmm. A bit annoyed at dh though as I asked him to pick me up vanilla extract at Asda last night and he came home with flaming vanilla flavouring YUK!

    Anyway, I am just waffling now:p

    I'm ok. I was playing Million Pound Drop with L, and she is very proud that it was a draw and went off to bed singing 'you're not smarter than a 10 year old'. :(

    :D Sorry 3 but that really made me :rotfl:

    Did a quick search on my name - hammy & SJ - nope still not sleeping through here! I give up to be honest! Thursday night he was awake about 5 times and then wide awake from 3am til 4.30am! I ended up sleeping on his floor! You just get used to functioning on not much sleep.

    Good luck with your interviews :T and your diabetes test :(. I was hoping you were going to give better news about J and his sleep :(. I can't believe D is finally sleeping properly (usually) although he woke loads last night which I am going to blame on tooth #8 trying to come through. I don't think it is that but I have no idea why else he woke up crying so much!


    D is 1 in a few weeks time and we are going to be in Tenerife :jfor his Birthday. What can I take with us (small and light!) that will be great for photos etc. ie candle, balloons etc.

    All theses holidays, hope you both have a lovely time. Great stuff for pictures, things to unwrap so he can play with the wrapping paper!

    Caz, what about the ipod touch on grabbit, they said they'll have more of the £69 ones in again. X

    Ouch, ouch, just paid my car insurance, bahh!!!
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p
  • Thanks Mel :D, I am in awe of you and Caz with your broods - I am exhausted with just 1! I have no idea how you manage to keep it all together :T

    Thank you - I have no idea why I didn't think of wrapping paper :o

    Ouch for the Insurance :( It has increased loads this year - mainly because of people claiming whiplash at every opportunity :( and also because of the ridiculously high number of uninsured drivers on the road :(

    Newcastle v Sunderland.

    Big game and we have to beat them.
    Me thinks becles will be in a reet bad mood, whereas Gill and I are quite pleased (its was 5-0 to Newcy when i looked)

    We don't do halloween, my mum was very against it growing up but after many years of chavs wrecking the garden n stuff if you didn't answer the door she just give them the cheapest sweets she can buy and most don't bother coming back next yr because they only go to the houses that give cash :eek: !!!!!!?? some people are mad, giving money!

    oh and ribbons, someone in a crafty thread I was reading recommened a site for them, I want some of this http://www.craftyribbons.com/shop_hello_kitty_ribbonnew-319.aspx
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
