Other thread full, so hope you all find me

Sushi, sorry I don't know anyone but there is a nanny agency near Kew Bridge. Hope ds is ok, typical of them to get ill at exactly the wrong time, isn't it?!

Foxie, we've sent off our form so am hoping we get our first choice (Weymouth)!

OMG is it Sound of Music?

dd now bouncing around, stuffing a kitchen roll insert full of wipes then deconstructing cardboard around wipes

must do ironing!

Announcement: dd has poo'd on the toilet both yesterday and today which is very exciting for us. and has just asked to go for a wee too!

she also plonked herself down next to a guy sitting on the edge of the sandpit at C&C and told him all about how she will get FiFi knickers when she does her poo and wee on the toilet!

what a lucky chap

dd is running around with wings wand feather and fairy skirt, calling herself a fairy princess. dh just made her a crown

Ros I love those songs, even the Portuguese versions{shock] meant to show dd Bug's life earlier but I was out.

I think I panicked in the cake shop

LOL paddle well done mini pads, dd did ask the postman once if he could do wee wee in the potty because she could

lol SFX.

well we are having a nappy free afternoon and 1 poo and 2 wees later we are still accident free.

hmm, will i permanently damage her by putting her back in nappies tonight/tomorrow?

did my ironing, now just need to summon enthusiasm to a) pack and b) figure out where the hell I am going after dropping dd off at CM tomorrow!

It's Gloucester, that much I know!

lol

..lol foxie..funnily enough i did tell her not to have any sex for a while...if looks could kill
after all, she is a good irish catholic widow woman

ohhh, i love a bit of religious tat, me..
i've got a madonna barometer!
her blue frock turns pink when it's raining
i love it..

i also love proper religious arty icon type stuff. never forget one very embarrassing moment in prague when we nearly purchased a madonna icon whch was about £60.000 or something because, due to a massive foul-up in currenecy conversion, we thought it was £60

so glad ds2 is back to his happy little self

wahey, well done mini-paddle! she'll be comparing fifi knickers with dd before we know it .

sfx, as usual, you've made me feel like some cake.
right, you've all distracted me as usual.. must get on with the very important task of my shopping list for dh's NY trip...
toodlepip

steppie is your dh likely to go near a bookshop? there is a book which I know was published in America but Amazon will not send it over

what is it, sfx, and i'll ask him to try to get it

Well done mini-pads, yay! Will your CM let her be nappy free during the day? Might help her while she's on a roll

LOL Steppie at barometer, I suppose she's v.pink today

We have been jumping on the bed this afternoon and throwing soft toys around, DS in hysterics, oh to be a toddler again

Steppie - it is Marguerite Yourcenar - Eternity Regained, this is the 3rd volume of the autobiography which I have been trying to get for years
many thanks may well not be possible at all.

SJ - one of the reasons to be a parent isn't it? now do you think we get to act like teens when they get there?

do you know who publisher is, sfx?
dh keeps reminding me he's only there for 2 days to work but he's an obliging chappie and know he won't mind trying,

..and got to say your high-brow french novelist makes my list of wrinkle cream/skin booster cream/ under-eye bag zapper cream/soothing booster cream/ lok somewhat shallow

Aidan Ellis is the publisher but I think it might have been published by others in Canada with American editions, it is rare can only find it in french but I can't read French well enough for that book

anyway not to worry sure he has better things to do it was never published in England despite the previous 2 volumes having English editions

...I should stop now

probably not to a French woman steppie have pride in your priorities

..you're obsessed, woman no, he'll give it a go and aybe strike lucky, but obvioulsy won't have loads of time to devote to it (what with my truck-load of toiletries and trying to avoid being sacked and all )

yes, you're right...hmmm, just adding the skin resurfacer to the list...

my priority when in a new place, before child, was to zoom in on all the bookshops.

dd seems very lively still,maybe after a bath she will be more sleepy. she is not happy that Kew Gardens are not doing the sand pit this year, should I encourage writing a letter of protest? or will they take a recording since she can yet write?

can't that is although she has been making an effort to write her name but at random places all over the page and sometimes outside the page

I can't believe that DS has been so good as to not write on the walls, so what does he do today just when we have few weeks left in the house - finds a pencil and runs into the living room to tell me he's been doing some drawing in the kitchen ON THE WALL

SJ - maybe you can auction that piece of the wall like that Banksy stuff.

Not been up to much today. Went to the pub to have lunch with friends. That's about it. Some really child-friendly pubs in Ealing/Hanwell. Perhaps we should do a pub lunch outing.

wall art is a right for toddlers I think

I do so hope there will be some sunshine tomorrow

paddle will your travel be affected by the fuel protests?

what fuel protests?

this here

not sure which direction you will be travelling, sorry if worry unduly
