    I hope the onion rings do the trick, poor little Amber.

    Full on sicky household. Joe threw up in bed last night. So we are all at home today. Even the dog has been sick!

    Krystal it seems that the sylvanian playroom and bathroom have been discontinued. There are a few on ebay, but it may end up costing a bit.

    Really hope Amber wakes up a little brighter for you Tia!

    I couldn't find any at all on eBay, only the windmill... Flipping irritating though, fancy selling the house and not the add ons!

    Hope all the sickies leave your house quick too!

    And of course David won, he's a real cutie Hammy :)

    I'm 24 weeks pregnant today, viable baby :D
    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.

    It sounds like all this sickness is spreading - hope everyone is better soon and especially Tia's Amber.

    OH wasn't sick at all yesterday but didn't eat much (and probably wouldn't have eaten anything if I hadn't insisted) so isn't working today as he's feeling weak. My cough is about the same but sore throat is worse so didn't sleep very well.

    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!
    We had eleven callers last year and none this year so evidently giving out children's bibles is a very effective deterrent.
    We kind of tried her on it by accident - DH was eating some, and she nicked it and wouldn't leave him any :rotfl:. Now whenever we go to the shop if I ask her if there is anything else we need she tells me cheese. She wouldn't let me buy the tesco value stuff this time either - going to have to nip that in the bud :rotfl:.
    Alice loves cheese too - she often starts grabbing the cheese in the Coop saying things like, "Do we need Brie?" or, "We need some Goggins [Gorgonzola]." Or sometimes she doesn't ask and just starts throwing blocks of Stilton in the basket. She hasn't realised that I only buy the "nice" cheeses when they're in the reduced section (which is fairly frequent here).

    My parents are near Sutton near St Helens between Liverpool and Manchester.
    did you go to Sutton High school? I'm guessing not but I NEED to know if I'm right :p

    Tia - You must have pooped yourself at Amber this morning!:(

    Well our washer is out of action and I have been a bick lax with washin this week so I have like 2 clean vest tops for me and Chris only has 1 clean pair of jeans :o I took the boys dark washing to mums and lights to MIL's, I'm hoping my mum will iron the stuff which is why I took her all the jeans n stuff ;)
    Super annoyed with DH because I'm sure the split in the seal was caused by one of the many tools/screws etc that he constantly leaves in his pockets :mad:

    oh and I got 1 ASOS order today, I'm glad it only cost me a couple of quid! The Cath Kidson passport cover is no better than the £1 shop one I already have!

    I actually got 5 orders, missed one... oops greedy.

    Amber is sitting up alomost sleeping holding onto a cheesy puff. Each time I try to remove the cheesy puff she starts sobbing!

    Poor Amber i hope all the sicky mums,dads and babies all get well soon!

    Did the ASOS orders come with RM or courier? no sign of mine yet and out of the 6 orders from DP i have been refunded for 1. fingers crossed.

    kids are all back at school today and the house is strangely quiet, everything seemed to go rather smoothly which surprised me as its usually manic. have my lesson at 2.30 and if OH will let me finish off cleaning the kitchen i may do some baking today!!

    I came across this pram review site the other day, its really good IMO there's loads of photos of them so you can have a really good nose and also handy if you get a 2nd hand bargain and can't work out how to use a certain function :)
