    DO NOT EVER SIGN UP WITH EMMA'S DIARY.

    Now I need to search back through my posts to see how many other times they e-mailed me so I can send them and angry e-mail.

    I'm really angry about this. It's incredibly insensitive :mad:

    if you had a swing in the garden, would you put it on the grass so would be softer to fall on, but muddier if rained a lot or on the patio bit??

    We dug some soil out and put weed proof membrane and a thick layer of bark chips under ours. They need topping up every year though.

    Ours is cemented in but just because we had some cement left of doing the fence.

    I need a birthday present idea for my little cousin please ladies. He's going to be 6 (I think!) and we're going to his party at the beginning of december. He's a very bright, intelligent boy who is creative and musical. I'm thinking of a nice book but would need some recommendations. I'm open to other suggestions too though.

    What about a science set? My boys loved the Horrible Science kits and they learned stuff from them too.

    I was looking for a fluffy picture but I found this instead:

    Here I go again on my own....
  • Evening all,

    Quiet day at MDW towers. Katie been to playgroup.

    When she came home we needed to post her school application she insisted on going on her trike with the letter in the basket, she pedalled the whole way, she did struggle a little bit as our pavements aren't smooth.

    We then made these as they were on today's show and I had the ingredients, they are very tasty.
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)

    Would Michael Morpurgo be too old for him - he's a fabulous children's author and is def worth a search on amazon.

    Evening all - I'm not sure about coming in here now I'm all famous and that... :p

    Anyway, very much set for Tuesday. I am going to meet Susan at the station (you come into Haymarket, is that right?) and we'll mosey on over from there and meet all you buildery types at 11. Unless we get hopelessly lost, which makes me think it might be a good idea if a local goes on FB and sends me their mobile number because we can't share it on here even by PM, obviously, it's against the rules.

    Love all your fluffy pictures :grouphug:

    just so you know the main station and often the end of the line is Waverly station. If the train goes through haymarket, then its best to get off at that stop as it's closer to Monkey Biz. :D You probably know all of that but I thought I would mention it just in case ;)

    And at the moment I daren't go to the supermarket as I've had to abandon trolleys three times in recent weeks:o what did people do before online shopping?
    Shops used to be nearer and people used to shop every day so they didn't do big shops.
