    Caitlyn is obsessed with something special at the minute, she'd watch them back to back given half a chance!
    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.

    Katie's favourites Something Special and I Can Cook. Which I don't mind as they're both programmes where we can do stuff together.

    They are Annabel's favourites too :D

    Katie taught herself sign language, it really helped as she was late talking. I made sure she attempted the word along with the sign. I'm sure it meant she didn't get as frustrated as she was able to communicate without words. Katie picked it up from about 18 months. We found the most useful ones were, drink, food and toilet - she potty trained before she could talk clearly. All the other signs are just a bonus.

    My Sky+ is full of Something Special episodes atm, I'm slowly working through them and deleting as she watches them, as she's at Playgroup when they're on now so if like tonight she's having a late night I have something suitable for her.

    Waffles are yum.

    I just had a mushroom omlette and chips, DH and Katie egg and chips (I don't like fried eggs). Katie ate 3 chips (a record number for her), I filled her up on tomatoes, cucumber and mushrooms.

    ETA - I'm off now I've nearly finished the goose for 6 Geese a Laying, then I just have the last 4 days to do before passing it on for the backstitch.

  • Izzy likes everything that is on cbeebies. She asks for more every time a programme ends and gets upset, but then is happy again when I tell her what is coming next :rotfl:. I think her favourite is show me show me at the moment though.

    I'm not sure which I like best, or which annoys me the most. I can live without the teletubbies, but they don't make me want to kill people either ;). I have mellowed in my old age.

    In more exciting news, we have just booked our holiday!

    Where to, LB? Did you already say and I forgot?
  • No I didn't. We were previously looking at a Haven in Devon, but have gone for one near Hastings instead. We've not been there before :) I used to live in Eastbourne (for a year as a student), so I might drag everyone there to see if the halls of residence I was in have been knocked down :rotfl:.

    I can't wait. Not that I am particularly keen to go to the beach in this weather mind you.

  • Oh, and 5% quidco cashback on it too... which I expect I won't receive till after we get home from holiday if the last few payments I've received are anything to go by!

  • Hi Merf and Strawberrypud :) sounds like you both need a hug. And Hugs to all the poorly littlies too. It is definitley the time of year for it.

    I'm a bad mummy today. Izzy has had nuttella and marzipan sandwiches for tea. She did have a very healthy lunch at my parents though, and it's not as if she eats that kind of meal every day ;)

    Yum!

    I bet it's nice grilled too...

    I should totally buy blocks of marzipan more often :p

    Will you two stop talking about nutella and marzipan sandwiches please....it sounds too good.

    Does anyone know if ELC stock Sophie's instore? They have them online with money off and I have a voucher for 20% off which works, making Sophie £8.29 :money:Delivery is a bit steep though so would rather buy instore.
    TIA.

    I've seen them in store a ELC.


    Hugs for Caz, Mel and poorly T and poor Charlotte falling in a pond. I bet that really shook her up.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p
