oohh waht did you say?

Don't worry Puds.

It wasn't anything bad - little CoV wanted to go the shop and CoV was pretending she didn't know where it was but I opened my mouth and told them and there was something else with MrsR's dd2...

Quokka, puds isn't at the stage of lying to her kids yet

obviously not! everytime we see an icecream van I say I don't have any money because daddy doesn't give me enough

well philosophically I suppose you could say you can never have enough

was Kew mad today? My kids have only broken up school today so was pondering going tomorrow but I fear it will be horrendously busy

I didn;t go today but the petting zoo was lovely

where have they put the petting zoo sue?

its just next to climbers and creepers, there are signs but you could just follow the trail of children

Follow the smell of the pigs

they should have put it at the opposite end - cor can imagine the crowds aiming for both things!

maybe if I get there as it opens - is that gate half way down Kew Road open (is it Victoria Gate?). Last time I went they had closed it and I had to go in the gate where the Pagoda is!

(thanks for the help!)

vicky gate was open on SUnday

it was quuite busy particularly near C&C entire families having picnic etc lots of bug kids running amock knocking over toddlers it was murder, otherwise was not too bad

zoo open from 11-3 we stayed mostly near queen charlotte cottage /badger set / lookout etc.

BIG kids that is not vermuin really

lol about the vermin

thanks for the info about the gates

I was going to take mine swimming tomorrow but the pool is closed and I feel we should take advantage of the fab weather and get out!

Nanou - have a lovely time in Brittany (I lurve Brittany)

Sue - have a lovely time on IOW, which I also lurve

Glad you lot enjoyed Kew today - I spent all day BFing and doing numerous school runs

Am around next week though is anyone fancies Kew - have to get my norks out in public eventually I suppose

We had a nice dinner sitting in the garden this evening, with Monti in his buggy in the sun.

My Mum, brother and sister + her family are descending on us tomorrow to meet Monti and no doubt bearing easter eggs for DD and Ds1 - really looking forward to seeing them all and will chuck them all out in the garden for lunch

Starting to feel a lot more human now and nips are actually quite comfortable now - all of a sudden. Seem to spend my whole time feeding and changing Monti though - have kind of dedicated my body to him atm

Am really enjoying him though - "babymooning" - he'll be my last baby so am savouring every minute of the "newborness" of him

Quokka/Sue - I have funny things growing on me too but GP said they are just burnt bits of skin from the sun .

cub more than welcome, foxie

y'all do realise that the first and last of those weekends are bank holidasy, right? Makes no odds to me - Naomi No-mates here isn't doing anything...

me neither Sue (nothing planned for the foreseeable future that is LOL!!)

Thanx COV

sorry - we are on holiday until 11th May and going to Cotswold for the w/e of 25-27th. Poo

Nice to see you puds/COV and Quokka at Kew. dds really enjoyed it and want to go back soon. I didn't get out til 7pm yesterday evening - nightmare when I got back washing line snapped/guinea pigs escaped/AuPair used up all the hot water.

We're off to a dd-free bank hols weekend at the caravan. Can't wait.

Glad to hear the bf is improving Foxie. I know what you mean about the last baby - I can't let ds go - I'm hanging onto him so tight.

May is going to be a bit of nightmare for me - I've got most weekends booked up already (okay I won't rub it in Sue!). But you go ahead and book a date and I'll see if I can rearrange my diary. If not Quokka, I'll be around to yours beforehand (well have to be to pick up Stitch).

Must dash - have a lovely weekend everyone.
