Just popping in to say i'm now an aunty to a beautiful baby girl Eva Nicole born at 11.10 yesterday, only 6lb 9.:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

My sister had a very rough time as did baby Eva but they both should be home today, i went for cuddles last night.

Right i best shift need to lift BIL and bring him to the hospital and get my tyres fixed. BIL went and got hi stitches out yesterday but they had no gas and air so they were gonna give him an injection but would mean staying in that hospital for 6 hours, so he done it with nothing just so he could get back to sister and Eva, he's smitten.:rotfl:

Vanilla congrats :j:j:j:j

Right im off for a HHC if anyone fancies it.

Goodintentions

Congratulations Aunty Vanilla!

This morning I have put on the DW, popped to the shop at 7.15am to get bananas, fish fingers & loo rolls, and baked brownies!! I am a domestic goddess!!

As i have 7 children today, and one of them is leaving I thought i would make brownies It is an experiment really, as I have used dairy free marg, and substituted the 2 tbspns of milk with water (milk protein intollerance for 1 child) I hope they like them!

I am going to do myself some toast while waiting for Little Miss Sunshine, then we are off to playschool/toddler group.

Trying to catch up with the thread,
we had a powercut yesterday, it went off just before 10am and did not come back on until just before 6pm.
So I got busy tidying and cleaning house as I could not be sidetracked by computer or TV. It's amazing how much I got done with no distractions.
Today I will catch up on things that need electricity, WM, DW and vacuuming.

Kaz Wow what an inspiration, I should stop making excuses and get my extra weight shifted.
juliejim & mummyof5 DD Congratulations on getting those jobs, I always believe that if you miss out on on opportunity it is because there is a better one just around the corner.
adamantine I hope you and your family are OK and less shaken up now, It must have been really frightening for you all.
pigpen hope DS is feeling better, I always admire the way you take things in your stride and manage a busy household.

Hi :wave: to everyone.
