... and is further response to the fake baby thing, the granny that got the Harry baby made - if my Mum did that and made a fake baby of one of ours I would be really angry actually, although I can't quite explain why. (she is over the water in NI and it might as well be New Zealand for all we get to see them). Truth is stranger than fiction.

JillD_2

right, I am sooooo tempted to read today's posts but I mut get to bed, the baby had me up most of last night ( 3 feeds, two nappy changes, 2 loads of teething gel, 2 dummy-back-in's. Getting the other up for school today was hard work, I felt drugged I was so tired. So I think I'll catch up tomorrow.
Hubby back in from the pub and I can;t be doing with a semi-sozzled conversation with him either so weill leave him down here!

OK list for tomorrow.

:wave: hi everyone, night Jill Been a frustrating day internet wise but had a call tonight from my friend and the line was as clear as anything, way better than any call since tiscali took it over last Monday. Managed to get online for the first time today as well and whilst it is a low speed it has stayed online.

The main task today was to sort the internet an ring the tax credit people as I reckon they are overpaying us. Got all the figures agreed now have to wait to find out how much we will get/have to repay :eek: Fingers crossed by my calcs if they change the amount for the next payment I should be back on track... watch this space.

Right I had btter get to bed, tomorrow I am going to pick up W's new bike from the shop. It is his birthday on Weds.

Morning ladies!

Well, it's Tuesday again and what do we have on our list? Ahh yes, living room and safe stairs. As I don't have stairs (I only have half a house - the bottom half!) that gets me out of a couple of tasks

I've realised what took up so much time after work yesterday - that was sorting out ebay stuff. I've now decided I won't list anything in the week - I'll just leave it for a Saturday or Sunday so that things are ending all at once rather than in dribs and drabs. It should make the organisation of wrapping easier and result in less trips to the Post Office.

Morning all!

Thanks for the nice things you said about Freya, I think she's beautiful too, but then she could have six eyes, a furry tongue and a tail, mummy would still think her the prettiest little girl in the world.

Aiming to fly high today, but DH irritated me the second we got up this morning and has been doing his best to continue irritating me since, so I may have to go out and see my mates instead!

Take care all, I'll catch up with you all in the day. x
