    Hi Lucky. Sorry it's been a while again but these babies do take up a lot of time! (Can you believe my little munchkin is now 3 months old!?)

    Belatedly reporting on the fab news of sisters partner not needing a transplant at the mo, although success rates are pretty high obviously meds alone is preferable!

    Sounds like things are ticking along quite nicely for you at the mo, magnificent weight loss! (I'm quite proud I have lost 32lb of the babyweight but 8lb of that was a baby so slightly cheating lol). And super great news on hubby being seizure free for so long!!

    It made me smile when you said about clearing out your loft, we are filling ours up with all thr baby-related paraphernalia :-)

    Hope you have a lovely bank hol weekend and that the boys behave over half-term

    Hey sweets

    Build a bear sounds fab. Jelly has one from my mum, Sister in law and Niece. There are 3 wish hearts inside :) The cookie bear :) DS2 is getting more adventurous with his choices ;) hahaha!! Next Friday it will be Florida ;)

    Nicky it is going so quickly!! Bless you, babies and toddlers... kids in general. I never get a spare second :D

    Cute idea from DS2 about Build-a-Bear.. fun place but yep sooo expensive. I always try to walk past as fast as I can with LL so he doesn't get any ideas lol xxxxxxxx

    I ended up entering competitions on here for an hour and then having an early night! Was great.

    I'd always said no to Build-a-Bear because of the expense, but I have to say it was a nice experience and the boys haven't put the teddies down since. They chance them into pjs at night and clothes for the day :rotfl:. Thank goodness I still have all those baby clothes!!

    Hi Nicky, 3 months :eek: - where does the time go?! Hope she's doing well.

    Well done on the weightloss :T. I now have an extra incentive - Sister has set the date for her wedding :j. I have one year and 4 days to get skinny :eek:. I'm going to be Matron of Honour :D.

    Hahaha!! You think I jest, but I was being serious ;)

    ...maybe once the debt is sorted :D

    I am with DS2 although Bear Grylls sounds fab! I LURVE Captain America. ;)

    My friend who makes cushions and things (not Me&O) took her son aged 9 to see it. As they were driving home, he asked her what bit she liked best, and she said any part with Thor in it. He asked, genuinely puzzled, 'Why?' and she said 'Because he is very handsome' cue her son saying Eww, no you have to pick another bit of the film. 'Any bit with Captain America in...' Innocent 'Why?' again... followed by the same answer... and he was getting more and more disgusted, then when she said 'we could do this all day you know...!' he told her she was disgusting :rotfl:

    I am stood here baking the devils cookies that drove me into diet hell yesterday. I am going to stick some in a tupperware box and take them down to Him at work this morning. Out of sight in the box = no eating for me. I've got to get rid of the leftover cookie dough though or I will eat every last bit! :rotfl:

    Meanwhile I snack on the odd bit of pork scratchings :eek: while trying to find the recipe for egg and bacon muffins! :D xxx

  • Yesterday was a glorious sunny day and we went to a country park. MiL came too and we met my Mum, Grandma, Sister and her partner there. It was fab to be together in the sunshine, and as I've just said we got the big wedding date announcement, so lots of excited chat.

    Work wasn't too bad last night (think more people were having bbqs than pizza!) which I was glad of.

    DH was more forgetful than usual yesterday and very jerky in his sleep last night. He is 18 wks and 5 days post seizure today, which is 2 days more than his previous record.

    Sun seems to have disappeared again today. Hope yesterday wasn't our entire summer :eek:.

    Sounds like a great excursion - and what wonderful news about Sister & Partner! :j

    Aha - could be promising.. :D

    Keeping fingers crossed for DH - as a matter of interest, did you discuss adding therapeutic doses of turmeric to DH's diet with the consultant?

    Oh please no :eek: - should I pack wellies and brollie? :think:

  • Robin, you really should pack wellies and a brolly! We've had a mild winter but nothing really seems to have changed! Yesterday's sunshine was most welcome, but we seem to have scared it off :(.

    We haven't seen Consultant since you mentioned turmeric, but I shall certainly do so when we see him in a few weeks.

    Beanie, I've already checked out eb@y! The army outfit is much cheaper and easily available, not so much the Captain's outfit though. Will keep looking.

    Granny :j. Lovely to have you back. How are you doing back on British soil? Did you hear the news about the two British men in Malta today :(. Very sad.

    Today we went swimming, so not a NSD but a very LSD with £2.50 spent. This afternoon we watched a film together and snuggled under duvets! I am losing my voice and I have a sexy husky thing going on :rotfl:. Hope it doesn't mean I will have the lurgy when I wake up tomorrow :eek:.
