I now declare this topic.... THE NEW PUDDLE!!!!!!!!!

[EmpressOfTheSevenScreams]

With thanks to SPSFanjo for handing it over.

Everyone's invited to our Puddlewarming party!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Bonkey! When we finally move house I want to start sewing cushion covers/curtains etc and selling them. I'm really looking forward to it, we have no room for a sewing machine here though, so I'll have to wait. :(

Good news State! A weight off your shoulders.

Hope you get some better sleep soon Tee. My 3 yr old is far too boney and fidgety to snuggle with. I agree that baby snuggles are much better!

Dreamy I would love to be able to sew, but I just don't have the patience and sewing machine's give me brain ache!

::waaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllll::

NotSoDearH has given me his cold!

And I can't take Lemsip due to all my other meds.

waaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllll

Do any of us not have this cold yet? :( Can you take paracetamol Tee? A hot blackcurrant cordial and a couple of paracetamol is almost as good as a lemsip...

:( Tee

That's why I can't take them, Dreamy. I take massive amounts of paracetamol already for chronic pain.

And I hate blackcurrant.

Do you think red wine and paracetamol might help as well?

Wine cures everything doesn't it?

What Dreamy said!

I've had the 'fake' pregnancy cold since 12wks, constantly snuffly and blocked up, its annoying. Flu jab tomorrow, anyone else had one? Is it horrible?

I may be dipping out more than I want to o2 has been down on and off today and we've no wifi atm, I get about 30mins of internet before it goes for 3hrs again, no phone signal makes me stressed!

Morning.

Bad night, cold not much better...but I've lost .5 kilos!! YAYAYA ME!

That's what happens when you walk at least 3 and more usually 6 miles a day to get a small child to school.

Yay, I found you! The new puddle is lovely! I thought I'd lost you

I love the pictures!

I'm sorry I have been absent from the puddle, I have been getting in a bit of a tizz about going back to work (been off for 8 weeks, had a bit of a shitty time). It was a tad scary going back but I think I'll survive.

How is everyone?

We're all full of cold Shaky! Hope you've got a mask on to avoid all our germs. The puddle should be quarantined!

Hope all goes well at work.

Thanks Dreamy

I'm a tough bird, I hardly ever get colds.
I hope everyone feels better soon.

I never got colds til I had children. Lousy germ-riddled children!

I was brave and had my flu jab this morning it was ok actually, I'm a huge wimp usually.

Well done tee

I got a huge bundle of silicon (sp) cakey stuff today from a friend, ill be baking this week!

Well done State real flu when you are upduffed is horrendous.

How's the baby Dreamy?

Hello!

yep, I'm full of a cold too - boooo!

To brighten me up, having recently discovered True Blood, I will link to the lovely Stephen Moyer (who actually isn't that fit in real life, but as a vamp he ticks all my boxes)

mmmm hairy chest

apparently he's put weight on

shock horror.

I think any journalist making comments on a celebrities weight/lack of, should be made to put a pic of themselves on the article, to be rated by the public.

I did think the media reserved this kind of shite for women, it would appear they are now widening their net. Tossers. I often look at 'weight gain' pics and think - erm, no, they just look normal to me.

This is why I don't buy celeb mags and the like, it makes me stabby.

My one pleasure in life is Googling fit True Blood cast members though, so I unfortunately stumbled across the lovely Mr Moyer being described as 'portly' pah!

I'm sure he's distraught of course.

needs to do housework and can't be arsed

Oh and I have a baking question - before we get told off for lack of cake debating. Can you freeze homemade cake batter?

I've never frozen cake batter, but I have cooked cupcakes etc and they were fine.

No idea about the cake batter, sorry Brian. Hmm, not sure we belong here really!

That is such a load of bullshit. What a complete non-story. Is there no worthier news for the DM to report? He looks absolutely fine!

"Scantily clad: Armed with his blue and white body-board, Stephen wore nothing on the beach but a pair of black swim trunks."

What the hell else would he wear on the beach? And his shorts came nearly to his knees! Hardly 'scantily clad'!

Sorry, got a bit mad there. That sort of thing makes me stabby too Brian.

*Dreamy! How about ScreamyShriekyFrightyWoozyWooo? Or something like that?

Welcome back Shaky.

I luffs True Blood!

It took me a while (am only halfway through season 2) but I am seeing how sexy Alexander Skarsgard is. I get it now.

When my friends told me about True Blood they would back it up with 'look at this guy' and show me either Alexander or Stephen (first name terms), I have to say I didn't really see the attraction of either...but now I am hooked on the show, yeah, I'd chuck neither out of bed for wearing socks

Glad I am not the only one who gets ranty/stabby at non-stories. I have been known to seethe after a quick glance through a magazine stand

as its the cake topic, this is my latest creation, im at my mums so finally using a laptop and had no idea what to post but needed to post a pic!

I've not seen any true blood.

Brian Alcide is ^ there! He is MINE!!!
