    Hi, Kitten_Pie! Mmm, pizza. I am really wanting one those right now. Think we will treat ourselves tomorrow.
    Mmmm don't keep talking about food!! :drool:
    What you doing up anyways? Night feeds?
    bigzippy, you are right, I am of course but a young whippersnapper!

    Ohh forgot to say, we got a Christmas present from OH mum of 200 Euros so we have decided to get a fridge freezer. I will be able to have ice cream :D

    There are more important things than cleaning, if i wasn't trying to distract myself I wouldn't bother with it, it is generally OH's job to clean and cook etc :) oh and wash and iron. (Normally I am the one who does nothing and I don't usually have an excuse)

    Is it too late to order online?

    How does the pie taste Kitten?

    There are more important things BUT it's starting to really get on both our wicks, and it's becoming so that the house is not a relaxing place to be, or conducive to cooking proper meals, which then has an effect on both health/mental/emotional wellbeing and our waistlines! (And pockets, but we won't go there! :p)
    Is it too late to order online?
    Yeah, I've ordered most things that I've not seen whilst out already (Dh's pressies arrived yesterday, so I can relax about that now :D), but there's a stall on the market I want to go to for some perfume copies [STRIKE]for my nieces*[/STRIKE] (£3 as opposed to £30 for the same scent!:money:) and maybe one for my nearly 14yo nephew :think: I can't remember if there was anything else I needed from actual town now... there's a watch I saw in Sainsbury's I was gonna get for my sister too.

    *just remembered I changed my mind about getting them that, as I found a perfume at home (in the present box) to give niece1, and decided to give the watch I was gonna give sister to niece2.... if I get nephew something else, I don't have to go into town, I don't think :j

    I have been wanting a pizza all night! I think they are my favourite food, closely followed by curry. Mmm. DS is a night owl, he didn't go to sleep til 2.40 two nights ago, 2.50 last night, and tonight was 2.30. It's fine, we follow his patterns, I am a sahm so I sleep when he does, we get long lie ins which is lovely. Usually he nods off around 1ish, so this is extra late for us. Then I spend a bit of time pottering about on the Internet. DS is awake throughout the day, so it's a bit of quiet time to tap away uninterrupted. What about you?

    I reckon if I had to pick one food to live off, it would have to be pizzas - you can put anything on them! NOM473166574bd51ad1061637c43bba8f84f960c489.jpg

    I have sleep disorder issues to go along with my other health conditions, so it's rare for me to be asleep before 2 (or more likely 4, if I'm being honest!). I'm unable to work though, so from that angle it's not a problem, even if it is less than ideal. :o

    :j what can you gather together for him. All I can think about is a jar with flour cocoa etc for a cookie set just add egg. There are how to's on line to layer it correctly.

    You can tell I have spent all day in the kitchen :D

    Just a lazy day then :p

    Not tasted it, Sister is coming over tomorrow so will make some custard when she is here for the tasting. I will however taste the brownies if they don't suck. :)

    Bunch of insomniacs! I love this time of night, have always been more of a night person, rubbish in the morning. I could sleep now, I will soon, but I like a quick catchup on Facebook, doodle about on Pinterest and other time-wasting sites, go hunting on RightMove for my dream home, etc! And daydream about pizza! :)

    Lol! My sister is now a big MSEr so she'll already have enlisted his help doing those kinds of things for other people ;) I've already got him a few bits and pieces, I just wanted something else to "finish it off" iyswim - only say £3 worth... He likes all things soft and cuddly/comfy so might see if I can find something nice in one of the supermarkets (mainly cos they're open late so DH can take me :p) or on the Sportsdirect.com website that DH could pick up for me on his way home from work :p

    Just a lazy day then :p
    I thought that exact thing! c621695140d611de061cabf0ff76257c515aee9b.jpg
