Been to toddler group, made lunch, fought DD into buggy for a nap (she's just about given them up but has been a grouch this morning and her eyes were all puffy) and just had a swift wardrobe clear to make space. I can see what I've got now. Irritatingly, not much goes together. I have leggings and jeggings but not many longer things to go over them
I have been looking but can't find anything I like the look of...
.
We have the same wardrobe dilemma. And the boots I need to buy don't exist anywhere but in my mind.
Excellent job news for your DS Dusty. JL are said to be building in Chelmsford in 2 years. Please make it happen Essex Borough Council!
I'm melting in the swimming pool watching the 2 youngest have lessons.0 -
Bailey and Cassie have been picked up to go home; and Mr Dys0n has worked his magic on the carpets. I had to empty him twice!:eek:
Next guest will be chocolate labrador Megan, arriving next Friday. This is brilliant timing, as Mr LW has Monday to Thursday off - so if I'm not around next week, please don't worry, I shall be "otherwise occupied".;)If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
Well. I have been taking toys out of the conservatory. DS keeps following me and asking what I'm doing. I tell him I'm going to wash them (books included lol) but really I've booked a stall at a local nearly new sale. It's not for four weeks but I need to get organised. Also making room for Santa ;-)
DD wanted her nappy off this aft, I have obliged, as she has done a few potty successes lately. She has now wee'd on one of the cushions. She brought me her doll and told me dolly had "done a poo out there" lol trying to blame her baby for the wet cushion :rotfl:
Bit more washing done, just my bedding to do. Might leave till Sunday as forecast is bright and dry here, but rain tomorrow.
Now, cup of tea...Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -
Bossy .. after a couple of messy accidents yesterday Squeak has performed beautifully today, including a number 2 of elephant proportions! until she wee'd on her way down the stairs to use to potty. I have bought her big girl popper-less vests today.. M&S is a few doors up from the solicitors.. 2 birds with one trip out.. She does look funny without a nappy her tummy looks very very large!! and her legs look very short and skinny.. heehee.

Good evening all xx
Well been a busy day, home from work, cooked dinner then helped DD make and decorate cakes for their Brownies/ macmillan coffee morning tomorrow. I did have plans ........OH is working and DD was going out with my Mum, until DD reminded me about the coffee morning!!
Hopefully will get bits done when I get back......
Hope you are all well xx0 -
Glad it's not just me battling with the potty, my little one has just had her bath and when we undressed her she hadn't wet the nappy, so i got the potty and sat her on, she was fine, then got up, sat on the floor, weed, then sat back on the potty:)0

Oh lol. All these girls! How old is yours ecoelle? DD was two last month, and (I think) little squeak is just a month older (that right, piggers?). I'm not sure we are ready yet, but she just likes a bare bottom I think, lol. My friend gave me the gina ford potty training in one week book with DS and it was a marvel! I ought to get it out for DD to read haha. I will get on the case soon, I'm just not ready, lol. My head isn't in the right place. (plus she is my last baby and I don't want her to grow up any more...)
She stroked my hair tonight and said "you pretty mummy" bless her, I said it was really kind, so DS tried to out-do her and said "yes you look like a good mummy" :rotfl:
I did bribe her to go to bed nicely with the promise of dolly mixtures tomorrow :oops:Bossymoo
