mine are scattered through the year. ive got march april july nov and dec babies, so birthdays are spread out.
DS1 is not impressed with me for having him so close to christmas hes trying to find a venue for his birthday party but strangely enough everywhere is busy:o

Just bursting in to advise you we have hospital news!

DH has to go in on Wednesday for a days worth of tests, they may keep him in dependent on test results.

OMO tell your friend to get lost. I think people should be able to enjoy Christmas the way they want to and as long as you, your children and Mia are happy so what!!!!!!
Have you thought about a Halti for Mia as this could help with her pulling. She will not like it at first but will get used to it and it will let you and her enjoy your walks more.

I think I've cracked the pulling. I take a small bag of her dry food with me, and hold a piece in my hand. She is now also on a extendable lead so she can go a bit further if she wants. But she comes back or sits the minute I say her name as she knows she will get a treat. I've just got to get her to walk forward now, as she walks looking at my hand.

One man commented tonight how clever she was at walking sidewards. :rotfl:

Evening everyone

Fluffysox - that's one handsome little chap you have there. What a little beauty he is.

Feisty - love your shop. Pity we are at the other end of the country. Hope all goes well for DH's hospital visit next week.

mrs mp - pleased to see that you haven't given any hints out about the cross stitch exchange . You clever thing getting yours completed already. Mine is still a wip. :rotfl::rotfl:

freespirit - hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow. Bet you'll be beaming with pride from ear to ear.

Nanamia - don't apologise for the length of your posts. We love them. :T

Well DS has just landed in from work and has informed me that he is working tomorrow (should have been his day off) and his uniform will need washing/drying/ironing. Not complaining as any OT is very gratefully received and this time last year he had a temp job and was finished just into the New Year. He started a new job in March with a permanent contract and is really enjoying it. He also had an 11 month period of unemployment when he had to leave uni due to ill health and that was soul destroying. He only has a 16 hr contract so he is grabbing any OT that comes his way with both hands. :rotfl:

Well take care everyone

Early morning post, can't sleep, won't sleep, aaaarrrrgggghhhh. Lovely baby pics, fluffysox mmmmmm lovely baby, can smell that sweet baby smell from here.
Feisty at last, some joined up care for DH, hope it all goes well.
Freespirit, hope you have a lovely day today. You are rightfully as proud as Punch take lots of tissues!
On the Christmas front, got another 8 presents wrapped, and ordered 4 more in the M&S megaday sale yesterday.
On the MSE front, I changed utilities and projected savings of over £100 this coming year are earmarked for next Christmas. (I have set up a standing order to put the difference of each months DD into my savings account. We shall see.)
Have a lovely day, all xxx
