Jenn, Worley, Voods....can't be bothered to write in the name changes...you know who you are

[Macdog]

Get your buns over here....NOW!!!

well! drama central.
my little sis stayed last night as weather too bad to drive back to midlands

she had to leave for work at 9am, when we found to our horror dh had taken my keys and his own to work!.....only he hadnt gone to work, but on the train to meetings in York.....

she is 18 wks pg, but that didnt stop her trying to climb out of my kitchen window!! which didnt work as it wouldnt open wide enough..
so we ended up breaking a pane of internal glass to scoot her through into the garage where the door opens from the inside.

I told everyone on the phone, as Ive been bored locked in with kids all day, and all they can ask is why havent I got a spare key or two hanging on little hooks round the house?
I dont know!! I havent needed them for the last 6 years!!
I tell you what though...that is my project for the weekend! Hooks a plenty.

at that clip, W

Put the keys on HIGH UP hooks, or the little darlings will make off with them (voice of experience)
I've got some on picture hooks on a level with the top of the doors

i got adopted by a stray dog again today.
Got the dog warden out to collect it, and then had to try and prove that the ruddy dog WASN'T mine.
Not the easiest thing to do

OMG just watched the last episode of The Tudors and remembered a very good reason not to go to The London Dungeon. Why not Madame Tussauds? There is a chamber of horrors. Think you can go with Tesco vouchers too? I got a load of days out vouchers recently, and The Good Food Magazine for myself. They do a children's National Geographic too I'd be interested in if I could see a copy of it first.

just had a big clean up, i cant believe how much crap ends up underneath the arm chair and setee. i cant wait to move the setee and tv round ready for the winter. we have to move it round as the setee is too close to the fire place and will get scorched(?sp)if we leave it there, and then we have more room for the xmas tree.

so, i went with my friend to a localpub last night after we dropped our boys off at cubs. we think it is the first time we have been out together with out any children in over 10 years weve been friends scince we started middle school at 9, so a long long time!!

havent spoke to him about the dungeons yet, will see what else we can spend some vouchers on.

have britains best dish on tv, making me really hungry, dont know what to cook for tea yet, only the boys and i so maybe spag and meatballs?? i have fish but not fancying it this afternoon, maybe a curry but ds1 wont eat it only the rice.

We're having guineafowl with chestnuts. Feel very sick right now. Eating a pear to try and turn it around.

Had my first midwife appointment today. She was lovely. I promised her it would be the last time and she just said yeah yeah. She didn't feel my belly so I can only go off the all day nausea and migraine there is something actually in there.

DD with grandma today and I took the whole day off work. Blugh. At least I managed to get an afternoon nap.

will it be the last one? i have a feeling you'll have 4 in total??

dp would love another, he keeps going on about it, but i dont. we can barely afford the 2 we've got!! and i like work/my own time to much maybe in 5 years time i told him, i'll be 36, still okay age i thinks

Well that's the reason we went for it now. Get all the sleepless nights over and done with now. I figured we would probably change our minds in 5 years time any way.....4?? [feints] I don't know this one isn't twins!

i made sausage meatballs with pasta spirals (and a little bit of spagetti as it had almost run out)in tomato and basil sauce ala jamie oliver. mmmmmmmmmm
can always gaurantee everyone will eat it.

off to watch ugly betty
xx

carrying on with the foodieness,
we all had cheese on toast for lunch, after ds2 watched big cook little cook and insisted on having chee toe for dinner. mmmmmm

its absolutley pouring down here so not going to get a lot done outside today. thinking about going to get a few bits and bons from asda then watching some dvds as dp at work so just me and the boys.

dp and ds1's xbox has got the red ring of death light thing and wont work, so have to take it back tomorrow, they only got it in feb so 9 months old.

lol at singing animals and singing horses

ho hum. hung out a load of washing as very sunny,,,,,,,,,,,,
am awaiting results from docs of some swabs as have got sore bits and need to rule out a post-c-s infection..

still 14 and half stone cant budge it. doctor had an excellent theory some women like dairy cows and cannot shift weight whilst bfeeding I fully agree, weight doesnt reduce even after a few days sensible eating/running madly round garden with dd. whichj exhausted me, had to retire to bed.

he slept thru the other night, then reverts back to 3 feeds a night. ah well. he is definately my LAST ONE. the next baby in this house will be a puppy ,,in about 5yrs..

ooooh Im really into 'without a trace' the fbi drama, watching it on virgin demand when dd napping. brilliant drama, am loving the love interest stroy between Denny and elena

OH yes. I couldn't even think of loosing milk until I'd dropped a couple of feeds, and I went back to work.

Durrr losing weight until I dropped some feeds

i've put weight ON scince stopping feeding doesnt help eating nonstop!!
i've started to write down everything i eat which makes me a bit more aware of what crap i was eating as well as main meals.

i love BONES on sky 1, and whats the name of the new thing on sky1 at 9 tonight. fringe or something similar

off to help ds1 with his homework.

We went up to Greenock today to wave a final goodbye to the QE2.
Gorgeous day, lovely ship
Pics on FB (be warned there are a LOT)

dd is convinced that she was taken to see the Balamory boat yesterday

is there a boat in balamory? i was subjected to watching that earlier, what tripe!! ds1 used to like ot also.

went to the dr about my knee again today as still no better after having physio and seen surgeon, anyway, have to be referred again, and he told me i had to lose weight as that wasnt helping it, and he went in to alot of detail about its very easy to lose weight, its a simple equasion, i need to eat less!! ffs, i know that but when i do stick to it for a month nothing goes so i give up again. its not as simple as he says, i hate men. they think they know it all. (and even when i went to the gym, my heart rate and bp went down but i didnt lose any weight. im well pissed off now and i just ate 3 mini gingerbread men as ds1+2 didnt like them.)
so when i got home and told dp what the dr had said he laughed and said he must have been having a bad day.

right off to get the car to the mot place now, asit ran out in aug and i didnt realise till ive just sorted out my insurance policy.

then at work tonight 5 till 10 the on call at home till 7am

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
took dd and ds into Trafford to get her shoes, from startrite as she has long narrow feet - after trying on 20 pairs they had none to fit!
NONE TO FIT! what the hell do I do now???

cant believe this global financial meltdown thingie.

The Balamory boat is the one at the very start of the opening title.

I'm waiting till winter really kicks in to get new shoes for dd, she's running around in trainers/baseball boots.

Can they order you a pair in, or is it that they just don't make them narrow enough??

i remember the boat now! bless her thikning it was the balamory boat!!

what sizr is dd vood? ds2's last pair were startright but this pair are geox trainers. i used to be so against going anywhere other than clarkes with ds1 but now i've got down from my high horse. we have a new shoe shop opened and they are really good with the fitting and every thing. i wanted him to have these hush puppie boots with crocodile teeth on the sides but they didnt have them in his size so dp got his way with the spiderman lookylikey trainers, with flashing blue lights, so ds2 calls them his "neenah miman" shoes - police lights / spiderman shoes

i love the lellikelly shoes for little girls but they are way expensive.

lelli kellies are for fat feeted girls!! dd would never keep them on.
she is 2.4 now, size 7 and half, width c or d

on my shoebuying panic thread theyve recommmended loads to me, mn can be so helpful with stuff like that.

John Lewis is my next port of call, prob. next week, tho, now,

the shop had lots in the right size, but none of them fit round her skinny little ankles, inherited from dh. typical.

feeted! fgs footed surely!!!!!!!
