New thread for August.

well done mini-ros. am wondering if can put dd back in cloth nappies at night so i can stop buying nappies........

kew, i'm starved so gonna head out for a buttie and eat at my desk. tried call & text but you're ignoring me so i'll go off in a huff

Paddle I hope you did all that at 7am !!

Mrs R - great if you will be there too!!

Steppy why not try and come down the same weekend as us? - we can have another carry on caravanning stint !

got stuck in a meeting and phone falt - if you're still around...

Hello all

Cov - glad DS is better today. What are plans for Monday? Sorry don't have any passes either, have cheapo membership too!

Paddle - Good that neighbours got a taste of their own medicine, you never know it might do some good

Ros - well done mini-Ros on no accidents. I only know of 1 o'clock cub being open during summer. BTW is cinema trip still on this month?

I now have to come into town for 3pm MOnday so need to leave whatever we do by 1.30 at latest to drop DS off at my mums. Essentially can do whole morning and early lunch. Can provide passes if it ends up being KEw.

we have had a very eventful and soggy day

dashed down to Richmond for dd hair appointment, slight rain at first serious downpour for the last few yards

appointment great must write review in local site

then to lollipop dd was ok at first but tiredness came through and she became over emotional with normal kids exchanges, then did a huge wee in the ball pool I did the walk of shame to inform staff then we left on the only day I left the house without a spare set of clothes!
then we walked home in the sunshine

miniros well done

cov I still have passes too

it may have been nice sfx but was it cheap - my only criteria at the moment?

do you mean dd's haircut? £15 which I think is fine but am sure you are soon to use capitals on me

No caps (promise) yes meant the haricut - I wonder if they'd do mine for £15?

£15? , I though £7 for ds's haircut was dear!

where was yours Ros - I'm not at all sure DS will sit still long enough but his hair is a bit of a mess.

I know I know but was very keen on a nice experience and they did come up with the goods. dd hates having her hair brushed at all so not complaining

BLOODY HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

£15 FOR A CHILD'S HAIRCUT??????????????

Holy moley, dd is gonna be in the Guinness World Book of Records then coz she ain't never getting a hair cut at that price!!

mind you, I could probably hoodwink the GPs into doing it.

I had to warn them yesterday "don't be buying dd any new shoes" and lo and behold DM says "oh but I saw such a cute pair of....."

She doesn't need any shoes right now and she deffo doesn't need any more sandals. She's fine with what she has till September now.

Paddle - will trade shoes for "Little MOnster" T shirt

sfx. lol at walk of shame after dd doing wee in ball pit!

she is great that hairdresser...i got fed-up with boys getting butchered at barbers..bit pricey but she does a fab job on both of them and they've got very different hair (surfy dude vs irish brillo pad-like mummy-poor-sod)

SJ...would it be really cheeky to ask to borrow about a dozen boxes -if you've got that many? is it ok if dh picks them up tomorrow? what time is best for you?

silly sausage..when are you going? all depends on the finances this end but got feeling will be desperate to escape chaos!
well we planned to go to richmond park today and then it tipped down. ended up on a jolly family trip to B & Q

oh, think i've got passes for kew, too, COV. glad your boy is feeling better.

..oh and i get their hair cut rarely...in fact ds2 is growing his at the moment because he wants to look like a rock star

Kew, I've taken him to Jeffrey's in Brentford but I think dh has also taken him to a barber on Northfields which was £5

SFX, sorry about the ball park wee but it did make me

i guess i should be grateful that dd's hair doesn't really need cutting. the mental curly look suits her i think.

i just ate a whole packet of percy pigs and not only do a feel a bit sick i also feel like a pig. they actually have pork gelatin in them too.

oink oink!

so much for M&S eh? No artificial flavours or colours, just a bit of pig in your sweetied.

only bought 'em coz someone said they were delicious but i panicked under pressure and bought the wrong ones.

bizarrely DS has hair very very similar to mine both in colour and texture (minus the grey of course)

paddle pig gelly is not artificial gelatine is usually an animal product and very widely used, but there are vegetarian alternatives

am resisting the urge to bake cookies again, weight myself this morning and the scale is going in the right direction

Paddle - how do you panic under the pressure of buying a packet of sweets?

kew, because the queue was shuffling along at a rate of knots and i had already discounted about 3 types of percy pigs (not to mention penny bloody pigs) in my quest for the "mallow with liquid fruit centre" ones.

In panic and desperation i grabbed the pink packet that said "made with fruit juice".

sfx, i knew gelatin was made with animal products but i've never seen it listed as "pork gelatin" before. congrats on the scales going in the right direction, i fear mine have sprouted trotters and are hurtling off in the opposite direction!

lol at sprouted trotters

I sincerely hope it will be going back up again slowly soon

Oh no at ballpool incident & for you SFx at walk of shame

DS has his cut for £7 is Twickers, they are fab with kids.

Steppie only prob with tom is that DH is getting back from Bristol, maybe tea time. Don't want to mess your DH about in case my DH is late and can't get boxes out of loft in time. Is the wkend any better for you to play it safe? otherwise I can text you a rough time tom but it would be tea time at the earliest?

LOL at Paddle Pig experience!
