Well you've got me going now too:( I only popped back in whilst my laptop is having a paddy:( stupid thing keeps crashing and will only open documents in read only :mad:

Child hood is so precious it's gone with a blink of an eye:( I'm noticing more with DD how she's changing, she's fast approaching not being my little girl anymore which is heart breaking.

It's one of the reasons why we went away. Mr Monkeys not been himself for awhile now... he's been ill. (Won't bore anyone with the details) but although he's come out of the other side kicking and screaming he has dark days:( I can see it descending but feel helpless as to what to do.
This last week away from everything, work emails and constant phone calls I actually saw a bit of the old mr monkey returning, the man I married. He's had fun with the monkeys and hopefully built some more everlasting happy memories for them both.

Life really is too short and too precious - enjoy spending time with your children while you can. You can print out your coupons, apg's and compile shopping lists when they are asleep

What a lovely post:A:A

Best wishes to mrmonkey:)

Here are 20 things you’ll understand too if you’ve got three children.
1. Going on holiday with your parents seems really appealing for the first time since you were a kid.
2. One bowl of snacks on the table? You’d better be fast, kids.
3. Everyone talks at the same time. All the time.
4. The baby has seen Star Wars.
5. You’re outnumbered. You only have two hands so the eldest two have to hold on to one finger each and try not to trip each other up.
6. In the playground you can only really keep an eye on the youngest. The other two can fend for themselves (though you’ve had strong words with them about never leaving the park without you, of course).
7. Holidays, day trips and activities all seem to be set up for families of four. Now you’ve got a fifth family member they’re a pain to organise and really expensive.
8. Only wooden baby-safe toys? No, that’s ok baby, you play with that Marble Run.
9. Someone, usually the youngest, always has to wait around at ballet, swimming or football.
10. You hear this at least once every day: ‘Wow, you have three kids? That must be so hard.’
11. The food bill is astronomical. How do they eat so much?
12. The first two kids love the baby more than anything. Except when he/she pokes them in the eye/scrunches up their homework/eats a piece of jigsaw.
13. You never, ever get enough sleep. Not even close.
14. A nap routine for the youngest? No chance. They can sleep en route to school.
15. There’s laundry everywhere. Clean and dirty, huge piles of it. It’s never ironed and put away.
16. You’ve traded in your nippy reliable Micra for a big slow people carrier that you ‘affectionately’ call The Beast.
17. It’s impossible to fit three car seats in a row so one of the adults always has to go in the back.
18. You thought it was something only your Gran did but you have already started mixing up your kids’ names.
19. Organic purees for baby number three?! How young is too young for a fish finger?
20. In football terms you go from man-to-man to dreaded zonal marking.

Some of that I agree with some I don't haha!!! I'm defo outnumbered I have 3 boys!! And a husband who acts like the 4th!!!

If you go to upload a receipt, it shows there. They're probably pulling the offer tonight.

Our monthly gas/electric is £128 DD at the moment. OH wants the heating on all the time, plus we have a fan going, plus his oxygen concentrator for his COPD. Got £37 back for the last 3 months of using the concentrator, so I guess that makes the monthly payment about £115 per month :eek:

It is on until the 6th. Unless they've pulled the CB offer whilst I've not been looking.

They seem to have pulled it early, it is still there to claim today but not visible on offers.

It is a rough guide...non of my kids saw Star Wars but they did go with the eldest to lectures at the Uni's kids clubs (similar but different).

The holidays are terrible.. so we ended up camping!

The snack bowl is very correct, the same with the fruit bowl!

And then I bought a telly and stopped having kids! :D

A bit lacking in the energy department here, but so nice to be home.

Bubbs, happy birthday. Sorry you feel poorly. :beer:

Henlans, good luck to your DD.

I'm off to try and shuffle downstairs now. Finding stairs really hard work.

Lovely to see you posting LS :AA but take it easy and remember the saying Rest & Recover .....
