He's just gone out for an Indian takeaway. Good man, smart man

Been out to get my ebay bargains for the new baby - have everything but a moses basket and go one with a stand for £4 and a baby gym for £2 that both look brand new. Well chuffed and actually makes me feel like there is going to be a baby. [panic emoticon]

Whine away, that's what we're here for. DH's can be a PITA at times can't they. Can't he pick up a pizza on the way home?

crace · 27/02/2008 17:23

Mo

You all noticed my whinging then? Just this cold - DH actually just phoned and asked "So then.. what's for dinner?" He has no idea such an innocent question is about to have his head removed. I feel like POO!

Whine over, I promise to keep it to myself now. Bedtime beckons

Muffins?? Did someone say muffins??!! I LOVE muffins!!

LT - Congrats for your DH. That's great news.

Mo - Not ordered anything from the party yet as I was the host so I'm going through sorting out what freebies I can get and then will look what ot buy with my discount!! Very exciting.

I didn't even know about the earthquake til I read it on here . Didn't get a chance to see the news this morning before mindees came.

It's so lovely and peaceful here right now as both mindees are sleeping and dd is at preschool!

We spent the morning doing loads of crafts for Mothers Day. We made sunflowers with their pictures in the middle. They did the painting of the sunflower and the base (toilet roll painted green) and stuck them on with pipe cleaners for the stem. Best craft thing I've done - I really like them!!

Also did handprint tulips and cards with a poem and their handprints.

Lots of paint, mess and fun had by all (apart from me when I had to clean it all up )

Yay! for the job LT. Lets hope interview results stay good this week. I've been and bought an interview outfit this morning! Well, I bought a jacket and a blouse. Need to try it out with black trousers, if not go back for the skirt that matches. Bought a new handbag too! Not big enough for cm stuff either!

I thought of one more thing that I can't wait to get rid of from CM. Cupboard locks! I am sick of having a line across my boots or trainers, from where I lever open the door with my foot and open the clasp with my hand! Oh, the simple things, eh?

dmo · 27/02/2008 13:05

i just use a normal muffin recipe and add blueberrys, cherries or choc chips depending on what i have in
fab news LT bout dh job you will be able to relax a little on the job front as baby is due in June

eleanorsmum · 27/02/2008 13:05

well done lt dh! congrats all round!

BoysAreLikeDogs · 27/02/2008 13:04

Well, mindee very tired boy so having a nap after whooping it up in the wood.

I've been getting my bubbleator ready, had to pop battereies in, a bit of a challenge (righty tighty, lefty looey) so we can zoom straight into the garden for bubble play when he wakes.

Mum2Luke · 27/02/2008 12:55

I didn't hear the earthquake, I slept right through! My daughter told me her bed shook and husband told me our bed shook too!

Have after schooly today, am going to cut out some cards in a mo, I used them last week at tots - they are teapot shaped and with a teabag inside, the boys (my ds and mindee) are older so they can decorate their own card.

I have just got my Creative Steps magazine through the post, looks quite good with lots of things to make.

crace · 27/02/2008 12:16

Well, we are all ill here, both mindees and dd and myself, so it's misery all around. Lots of whimpering and crying, that's just from me! Halfway done halfway done halfway done

Think I may have found one of my mindees cover for when I leave (on Star Wars Day, Mo) so really excited about that. Hopefully the parents like them, I know her and she's great - I feel a lot better. Now just the other one, I know they'll leave it to the last minute and I will feel bad!

justnally · 27/02/2008 12:16

LT - excellent!!!!

KaySamuels · 27/02/2008 12:14

Yay ! Give him a hearty slap on the back LT!

Blueberry muffins YUM!

crace · 27/02/2008 12:13
