  • I was feeling a little blue yesterday so went home via Hobbycraft and bought lots of little Easter card kits. Stitched one last night... and intend to do another one tonight. :D I am loving doing the stitching, I really am! :D

  • I don't even mind babysitting (even over night), but after 24-36 hours I am done!

    I guess she'll have had him by now.. it only take 45 minutes as far as I understand... eek!

    They are whipping him out of the escape hatch though

    He's here, and fine by the way. 7 pounds exactly, and screaming apparently. 15 minutes old. How lovely :|

    I will add a photo when I work out and how to get it off my phone :)

    YAYAY for new baby!! lol there have been MANY MANY times when I would happily have handed DS back - this mornings trek to the childminders for 1 he was in 1/3 "i'm half asleep", 1/3 "i WON'T do as you say" and 1/3 "I don't feel well" mode so it was ohhh sooo exciting!!!

    well sooo much for my cosy peaceful day.... the man has turned up completly unanounced to do the gas check on the house (fail 1 - no notice from letting agency, fail 2 - no phone call to arrange appt by the company). on the plus side he is going to mend the outside tap (that the agency promised us they'd sort out in NOVEMBER and convieniently forgot about) and tell agency boiler and fire needs new parts. Also managed to pursuade agency to mend the guttering (again promised it would be sorted in NOVEMBER) next week .... sooo lets see how long it takes em to fix the boiler and fire (given that they are not unsafe just f***ed). They have till June then he can feel my anger again...ohh i wouldn't have wanted to be the letting agent man this morning... not when i had just sat down with my dinner!!!!

    oooopppssss.... outside tap not fixed...... outside tap snapped off inthe mans hands!! gotta wait for a new (non leaky one) next week.

    WARNING to mummy's on this thread..... your ctc/ wtc are screwed this month thanks to them "sorting out the system" last month...... got half as much as I should have done and no explaination as to why.....
    loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:

    Chicky, we have an outside tap. It would be great - if it were actually attached to anything on the inside ;)

    Good afternoon Ladies!

    How are you all today?

    I have spent all day organising my threads ready for our house move. It's so satisfying now they are all numbered on a list and on bobbins, but so painstakingly boring lol! I didn't realise I had so many colours, oops lol!

    Anyway hubby is off out tonight so I'm going to get some stitching done in peace with maybe a nice glass of wine, yay.
