    Delain can i say the house looks lovely but as i moved into a lovely looking house that is nt practical at all ill just add 'dont do it' lol! we have an awful back garden its tiny at the bottom and then consists of 3 more tiers with lovely big concrete stairs! i thought it would be fine but as E & C are getting bigger i cannot let them out withpout being there at all times. The carpets are cream so regular cleaning and shouting at kids to get shoes off etc and then the main problem is that we live on quite a busy road, so everything is always stressful:- going to the shop/school/car. I have definatly learnt from my mistakes :D

    At the moment we have to catch a bus to go anywhere lol I think what puts me off most is that I wouldn't be able to just wheel the buggy in I don't think.

    At least here all the neighbours are nice and used to us. And the bus drivers might miss the noisy short folks yelling 'I love you bus driver!' at them every day :rotfl:

    My garden here is teeny tiny and you can't use i at all in he winter becuse it's either soaking wet or frozen solid :o it spends months every year in total shade!

  • Weezl - 5 rooms = my whole house!! I struggle to keep them clean and tidy, I'd think I'd faint if I had more.

    Visited IL's yesterday who seemed to think smoking in the hall with the living room door wide open was sufficient, DD is coughing like a 20 a day smoker today. Found out one of SIL's is in hospital after falling and breaking her ankle! It's a spiral fracture so will probably need more surgery on it. It's a bit of a worry as her health isn't the best anyway.

    Was supposed to be doing the final bits of food shopping today whilst my mum had DD at Toddlers, but the bank account says no. DH is due to get paid on either the 23 or 24th so will have to do a very early morning trip once the money is in the bank.

    We're trying to limit how much we rely on the money from work.

    Hello :)

    Bruno-our local swimming baths actually shut completely about 2/3 week ago due to heating problems. My husband had just got a place on the dad swim sessions with Elliot too, so we've now got to wait untill the new year for them to begin again now and hope the heating problems are sorted out. Elliot loves swimming, but last two times we went it was so cold in there, his lips turned blue! So not good!

    We've not been doing a lot, it's difficult to go far with Elliot without the pushchair because of the weather. I have just got a sledge for him, I'm not sure if he'll actually sit on it though! He's had a play in the snow, and soon realised it was fun :) His fave thing to do was shake the branches on the trees so all the snows falls down on top of him lol! Good job I'd wrapped him up well in wellies, rain suit, coat on top and his hat scarf and mittens!

    Hubby is at home ill feeling sorry for himself, so I got him to watch Elliot while I braved walking into our local town to get some shopping....I cheated on the way home and got the bus back up the main road though. I've just eaten some biscuits, so good job i'd wore off a few calories earlier walking lol.

    My 'lovely' neighbour has been putting on a great act outside with her kids, shame once she's back inside I can hear her shouting at the kids and back to being nasty!

    Happy Birthday to all the little one's today! :)

    keely.

  • Well School is open from 10am - 3pm, due to adverse weather, so i'm being a part-timer. OH took Alex to my mums at 8.45am and Joe and I had a relaxing hour until we left to walk to school. Could do with that every day, no rushing around and no having to shout at Joe to get ready.

    I did give him the option of going to school or to his Grandmas, he chose school and it was "dead good" yesterday as there were only 10 children who made it in, in his class.

    Alex is so cute and he seems to be trying to string a few words together. He hides behind something then says weredegone, really quickly. Which translates to "Where's he gone?". He is nearly there with his walking, still wobbly and still falling over, but so nearly getting it :D

    Loving E's cuteness with Callie, Bruno!

    Happy Birthday Amber !
  • I'm loving the cuteness factor, from E, Ferg and Alex.

    Happy Birthday Amber.

    weezl, I thought you had a 2 bedroom house? Where did the other 8 rooms come from? :rotfl:

    Finn has a high temp AGAIN. I don't know whether to be angry that the Dr either didn't give a long enough antibiotics course to get rid of the ear infection or be annoyed that he has ANOTHER one. Also, his eyes are gunky, so maybe it's not ear and that instead? BAH. Stupid GP is shut for lunch, so DH is under strict orders to phone at 13:30 on the DOT and hassle for an appt either this eve or early tom morning. Don't care if it's not policy, sick baby is important. But he's definitely not as grumpy as last time, so at least is not causing pain. :(:(

    really? I thought we'd skyped about the house! That'll be why you haven't come to stay yet! See, Finn can have his own room :p:D

    if we didn't have the laundry room upstairs it'd be a 5 bedroomed house.

    so those plus bathroom upstairs and downstairs another bathroom, 3 receps, kitchen, scullery.... it's lovely but not when I have to clean it :rotfl:

    ps hugs for poorly Finn
