Ooh Happy Birthday HMHB!!!

I expect she'll have hers first too tbh

Bought a southern fried chicken wrap for lunch, but it has turned out to be really spicey (It is worrying how that requires a sad face )

You can see I have given up on lists

mumof2rugrats · 25/09/2009 12:20

clairebee todays my dads bday and my cousin and my mates babys and her dads nxt week is my dp bday to

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 25/09/2009 12:37

Always you're doing well there

HMHB - Happy Birthday! That sounds awfully like nesting to me! Have a lovely day . By nappy bag do you mean changing bag? I have a Storksak Emily, I highly recommed it.

Clairey -

to everyone else.

I have done nothing this morning. DS is really grumpy and tired, think it's a reaction to his jabs he had on Tuesday. So I'm still not dressed . Going to have some lunch and then go to Sainsbury's and buy some nice food for the weekend. Is it too early for wine?

alwayslookingforanswers · 25/09/2009 12:40

doesn't look like it - looking at the list with the "dones" and looking around me it's made sod all difference so far. And I'm really tired now (been awake since 2.30 barring the hour I managed to get at 5.30).
