OH said the baby doesn't look like him... well she looks nothing like me.. so..


What do you lot think?

I think he needs to go to specsavers hon. She is the spitting image of him. I think the nose is different, maybe that's because she has your nose - I don't know.

But definately looks like your OH hon..

piggers beautiful pic.. And the spitting image of your OH

glad it's the sitting room today, & the main bedroom tomorrow. If I pull my finger out I might even be able to sleep in our room again tomorrow. We need a new wardrobe (am watching a few on fleabay & am planning a trip to the dealers soon) but getting the curtains up would be a step in the right direction. Plans for today also include freezing the parsnip soup I made yesterday, paying some bills, and lots and lots of ironing. (& some paid work too)!

Hope everyone has a good day

dMorning campers, I can’t believe it I’m up and about and have even been pottering about. It didn’t help I told DH that I wanted an early morning alarm call, as in before 6am when he goes to work!, and he took me at my word..lol. Even the dog knew I had to get up and couldn’t stay in bed as I wouldn’t hear my alarm due to dodgy ears.. So rather than lay on the sofa I am being productive, makes a change!!! I haven’t got dressed just yet Toots, but it is only 7am.. But I can say I will be dressed before 12 noon today, mainly cos I have to be up the hospital for an appt for 10am.. Why do they have to be so early??

Unfortunately it’s too early to feed the birds, the feed is out there as I toddled out there in the dark with a torch, gods knows what I looked like..lol. And all the birds are asleep, well they should be ifthey know what’s good for them. Although I can hear a blackbird singing, I think he is on Aussie time..lol

I have washed up, and I have even shined my s/s saucepans and given them a lovely shine with a smear of baby oil. Well if I spent all that time on my oven yesterday then I really should do the saucepans to get the full effect .. so that's what I did this morning..:j
I am considering hanging the washing outside today, although not sure what the weather is going to be doing, but I might brave it. If nothing else it will smell nice while it is back in drying off indoors.

I also want to go and see if I can get my portable weather station reading the outside temperature, for some reason even after several battery changes it doesn’t want to register. I know the thingy inside works as it tells me what the temp is indoors and, bizarrely enough, what the weather is doing – just no outside temperature…

Welcome home Toots, hope things weren’t too bad for you xxx I think my higher dosage of tabs might actually be working – makes a change!! Also added to that the continued support from the MH team, and group therapy continuation, might actually be doing good. Although I now have to get the manic spending under control, trouble is I don’t actually want all of the manic mood to disappear as I will lose the bit that is me..do you see what I mean? Oh how I hate having Bipolar..grrr!!! Sorry that was a pity me post, didn’t mean it to be considering what others have to contend with..
Blimey Toots just read through your list – eeks is all I can say. But saying that you have given me an idea to do my own, hmmm maybe it will be an ongoing one as I flit from one thing to another at the moment..lol
FPP it’s lovely to see your adorable emotes, have missed them and you honey xx
Oooh Poohbear that’s a good idea about freezing bulk pastry, think I might borrow that idea later today, and drank the food processor out and make some pastry to freeze for later dates..you are an angel..:A
1 step closer well done on having a gleaming kitchen, sometimes it helps to have a cob on when you are tackling something. Well I know it does with me..lol Did you know you were you were using a distraction technique and channelling your strop into something constructive? Ooops you can tell I have been reading my therapy manual..lol Backs off slowly…:rotfl:
Sunnygirl – hugs honey. Hope Dad’s biopsy comes back reasonably okay and it isn’t serious sweetie. Bad news on the car, don’t you just hate these mechanical beasts that we rely on so much..grr!!
Paulies-nixie I absolutely love your husky wannabe and your pics of the dogs, they are gorgeous.
Hugs Sunnygirl and lostinrates xxx
Mumof2, hugs honey. Good luck with the CBT appt. Hope it works for you, unfortunately I found it didn’t work too well for me as my issues are more in the past rather than in the here and now, if you see what I mean. That’s where group therapy is working for me..as it’s written work and homework as well as talking etc.. But good luck sweetie, we’ll all be there with you in spirit xxx
Lil-me – ack are you okay honey? Make sure you rest it..
Hmm there must be something in the air as a few people are falling down things or falling over.. Is mercury in retrograde or something?

separated at birth? Noses apart they are virtually identical! I've seen identical twins who look more different (oops that sounds wrong!)

managed Level 1 yesterday + large amount of laundry and I changed 2 beds. Feel quite chuffed!

Training session at school today - had a rant yesterday because someone told us that one girl is an elective mute - she's been here for 18 months and nobody told the dinner staff! :mad::mad:I am FUMING!
