[KLou111]

Another thread girls, can't believe we're here already!

Glad you're a lot better liz, I hate being ill. Must be awful when you've a little one ill too.
Naughty mummy not being able to tell your girls apart
Haven't been to the cinema for years! The last thing was avatar, and before that was the first remake Star Wars!!

Didn't do painting. Went to tesco just after my post. Euan was screaming at the door banging on it, so we got all dressed up and went. Except halfway the little bugger fell asleep! I literally could not wake him for about half an hour!! I was shoving sweets in his mouth at one point and still nada!!
Had to get the neighbours son a card and pressie for his birthday. Just got him a little short sleeved shirt.
The neighbour who woke us has a little one too, and it's his 1st birthday party next weekend, so got him a little shirt too, not the same.
Also got Euan a electric toothbrush as he's always nicking ours. He bloody loves it, and I had to take it off him kicking and screaming in the end!
Fell asleep to his story again tonight, lets see if we get woken again!
Then this afternoon we had a little play, watched Tom and jerry for half hour, and made some jam fairy cakes with blue icing
Been a good day.

Ohh nice, I love cakes!!! I wish I was skinny, cause I love to bake, and it usually all turns out ok, my cooking can leave a lot to be desired!, but I don't bake slot cause I only eat it all :) I do bake sbit with lulu, but never with violet, not yet.

Fancy him falling asleep like that! Must have been knackered tho to not wake up!

Yes It was pretty grim yesterday morning, poor lulus on the sofa at 7.30 looking green, hike violets got her water and giving it to lulu, ramming it at her 'cup lulu, lulu cup'. Er no violet she doesn't want you crawling all over her today! And when she was sick, with violet looking that close she's nearly got her head in it, I knew she had to be out the way!! I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Lulu wanted me to hold her hand and wipe her mouth but I had to keep violet out the way! What do you do!

Oh no Liz, that must've been really hard. Did violet understand when lulu was sick that she couldn't play?
Poor lulu :(

I've eaten enough chocolate and cake for 2 this week lol! Surprised I'm not the size of a house. Must go on a diet again, but I love my food too much :)

Well, Euan woke at 6.10 bright as, no crying. Rob changed the water to come on earlier a few weeks ago, and it comes on just after 6, so I wondered if that may be disturbing him.
He crawled into his bathroom which was odd, pointed at the loo, then his belly, and his nappy had leaked up his front! Clever boy :)
The neighbour didn't jump his car til 7.20 :-/

Eueys at my mum and dads today til tomorrow. They wanted to give us a break, so fingers crossed for a nice lie in tomorrow! Bet he sleeps later at theirs!!
Hoping to go to wagamamas at lunch then out for a few drinks in town early.

Any plans this weekend?

God there is some numptys about, I have got a pushchair on eBay, £60 or best offer. Someone offered £40, so I declined and said I would accept £50, they said ok if I could deliver it to Gainsborough. I said ok, cause I can go to Gainsborough tomorrow. Then they sent a message saying £30 is the most they can go and can I deliver it tomorrow night. Er how about no you div!!!!

Nice of you're um and dad to offer to have Euan!! It's sods law they always sleep different when they're away from home. When lulu was younger, and she used to wake every night, she didn't do it at grandmas house! Little buggers.

And clever boy for showing you his nappy!!!

Violet keeps wanting to sit on the toilet. She nearly says toilet, but it sounds a lot like yoghurt! (we don't want to be getting those mixed up :) ) I sit her on the toilet and she sits there and wipes. But doesn't actually do anything!

No no plans this weekend, Chris going racing tomorrow afternoon, so just got my ironing to look forward to.

Just a quick one, on the loo in wetherspoons!
What a twat Liz!! Thick woman!!

Didn't go to wagas, going next weekend in cardiff, out now, then take away :)

Yoghurt ha ha!!

Lol what absolute muppets liz!! Did you sell it in the end? How's Lulu?

Haha at you talking to us on the loo klou!! How was your day without Euey? Did you have a good sleep? And did he sleep for your mum and dad?

We have been looking for some tiles for the kitchen, how hard is it to find a latte coloured brick shaped tile that isn't shiny?? Turns out its impossible FFS!!

CHICKEN POX!!!

Aaarrrgggghhhhh!! Poor Joshua!! How's he coping with it?

Good night klou?

Yes did sell the pushchair, someone is coming for it on Tuesday, apparently!

Latte coloured tiles sound really nice! Hope you find some

He's doing ok liz. It doesn't seem to be bothering him at the moment. Just put him to bed and he's just talking to himself.

Didn't find any tiles. We have seen some we like but they are £80 a sq metre so looking for something cheaper.

Which pushchair have you sold? I'm selling my highchair on eBay at the moment. It ends tomorrow. It has about 13 watchers but its only at 99p atm.

What have you both been up to today?

Its a maxi cosi noa, lovely pink frame, I used it for holiday, but just don't need it, I only bought it on a whim. I've got to stop that. Besides the fact I can't afford it, I have no where to it them!!! I've still got my Luna that I always use, maclaren that Chris likes, petit star zia that I love the spotty liner but rarely use and one with big wheels that was dead cheap snd good for mud.

Not done a lot today, went to sainsburys st Lincoln, then to the park this afternoon, that's it.

Feel like death :(. Woke up at 3:20 with tummy ache and feeling sick and didn't get back to sleep till about 7:00. DH took Joshua downstairs at 7:50 when he woke and I stayed in bed till 10:00. I still feel like crap and am knackered too.

Joshua slept all the way thro and I bloody wake up!!

You have got a lot of pushchairs liz! I have the Luna and LOVE IT! Ours is black with a stripey liner and a blue or green hood.

Oh no iwish! How's Joshua??? Poor little fella :( Hope he's over it ASAP. It is meant to be better having it younger, I've heard of some people having chicken pox parties for their kids!!!
And can't believe you're poorly too. It's not......you know ......is it???

You and your pushchairs Liz!

All good here. Went next door yesterday for a 1st birthday party 2-6.15, was really good, and Euan did not sit down! Our neighbour opposite has a 5 year old who Euan was playing in the garden with as the sun was out all day. They've got a party next Saturday for their nearly 1 year old too! Busy busy! Euan has a better social life than us!!

Looking forward to their 1 year olds being like Euan as they are both boys, but only just crawling so still very much 'babies', will be nice when they can all play.

Nice day today too, Euan woke at 6 but was flaking by 10ish, I've given in keeping him up, it's not working, so I put him to bed at 10.30. I had to wake him at 12, lazy thing! Then he's been out all day in the garden with Bella, his football, trampoline, ball pit and sand pit. So much easier!! He's happier being out, and means we haven't got to entertain him so much.
We had our first bbq, now have cars 2 on before he goes up for his bath. Such an easy weekend!!!!

Oh no iwish, are you feeling any better now? Have you been sick? I'm sorry, I didn't send you my germs did I?!!!

I love my Luna too, the only thing I can think of that annoys me is the apron being put in the floor when you fold it up, I try nd lift the whole pushchair together rather than fold it down. Not so bad in better weather tho.

We have been home all day. And out in the garden most of the afternoon!!! First time this year violet has been out just for fun! I went and got some bulbs and planted them, weeded, swept up and generally tidied the yard. Chris been pottering about and doing odd jobs outside. Mostly to do with his lorries, bangers and dogs, but hey Ho!!

Wat you been doing?

Apart from being sick!!!!

WE GOT 6.45!!!!!
I heard him coughing at 5, I thought oh no, that sleep 10.30-12 yesterday is coming to haunt us.
Anyway, he got to his door (no crying either), so I got him. Then he started heaving, and a tiny bit of yellow stuff came up :( Looked at his bed and there's a bit there too. That must've been the coughing at 5. Not sure what that's about.

Well, Euan had his milk around 7.45, and the lot has just come up all curdled :(

Seems to be a sickness week on this thread!

Oh no poor poppet, is he any better?

Are you iwish?

Awww poor Euey klou. Has he been poorly all day?
Good that he slept till 6:45 tho, bet it felt like Christmas!

Yeh that annoys me about the Luna too liz. Still love it tho.

Did Violet enjoy going out in the garden? She looked so cute on your pics.

I'm feeling better but still been feeling a little sicky on an off all day. Can't wait to feel better!!
Joshua is ok, absolutely covered in spots now tho. They don't seem to be bothering him tho.

Good, glad they're not bothering him. Are they big spots? Glad that your feeling abit better too.

Yes she liked the garden, being free to run about.

I am totally peed off. Had the electric bill today, it's for 3 months, £911!!!! It must be the lights outside, with it being winter and they've been on slot while it's dark, plus the builders round the back who are building mum and dads hous,e they have a tea hut with a heater on all day so going to see about getting hem to chip in!
It must be right cause I have one of them smart meters, it can't be wrong. I am just going to ring them in the morning and see if I can change to a better tariff.

I am also looking into solar panels. I need to speak to someone impartial tho. I think if I do have them, I need to buy them outright to benefit, which is between 7-10 grand. But if I m going to get the money back over time, plus save money in the meantime, I am willing to do it. I think!

We looked into solar panels in Wales liz. Thing was, by the time you started getting your money back, it was about 15 years, and they were only guaranteed for that, so if they malfunctioned after that, it was a waste of money.
The best way we saw was you get the companies to pay for it, and you pay a reduced rate for a guaranteed amount of time. But then were planning on moving, and they upped the reduced rate last April anyway.
If you're using that amount though, I'd say for you it's worth it. Our gas and electric since July when we moved in, is and average of £95 per month combined.

Been meaning to ask you for ages, did you ever sort that massive bill you had from that guy in the caravan??

Hope Joshua ok iwish. Glad his spots aren't bothering him. Hopefully they'll start disappearing soon.

Just watching 16 kids and counting.......seriously considering having an 'only' again!!

I'd try uswitch for your tariff change too. Mostly the best ones are online. But would definitely charge the builders! They should have their own generator, not using your electric! It's part of their cost to build, cheeky buggers!,

8am in my own bed......lovely! Woke at 5.45 though, little bugger but soon got him back off.
Off to soft play today, then swimming later on.

Yes we did sort the bill, well we paid it!! We had no choice, the meters were right, I got them changed twice. Eon did reduce it by £1500 out of good will, but we had to pay the rest. Never got a penny off the bloke in his caravan, he moved out and that was that!

I rang eon this morning and have changed to a new tarrif that's cheaper at night, the lady was really helpful, I should save over £200 a year. I did ring up last year to see if I was on the best. This must be a new thing, or they mis advised me last year.

Hope Joshua's spots are ok iwish.

Did you have a good time swimming klou?

Bloody hell that's a big bill liz!!! How long is that for? Glad they have sorted something out for you now tho.
How's Violet? Has her chest been ok?

Woohoo to 8am klou!! How did you manage that? Did you have a nice time today?

Joshua is ok, got even more spots tho. Even got them all over his willy etc, looks really sore! He still isn't too bothered tho.
Needed to get some bits from asda so dad came to watch Joshua fir half a hour. He looked really nervous bless him. He got me to put Joshua's shoes and coat on to play outside because he hasn't done it since me and my brother were little lol. He coped for half a hour tho

Ahh bless him!! Spots on his willy!!! Wow that's extreme!! Poor little fella, at least they aren't bothering him.

My bill is for 3 months, works out to £75 a week!!!!!

Violets still chesty form when she got it Easter Sunday, but not been half as bad as she has been before. Maybe this is a sign of her growing out of it!!
I got her a climbing cube off Facebook. That and one of those mini trampolines was £20, I am so happy ith it! She can climb up and on it herself it's the exact violet size!
