i'm about to demonstrate how much i love my dh...he's in his shed and i'm delivering him a cup of tea AND two cakebites

can someone keep an eye on Pea while i'm out there please, thank you

okidoki - just pop her here next to E :)

thanks oops

Now you are back I'm off to bed. Sleep tight I hope you milk monster lets you get atleast couple of hours in a row.

good night, hope you get some sleep too!

Dizzy the basket looks stunning. I am most even if it were empty let alone filled with goodies.

Tweakers I bought a beautiful embroidered pillow case for my friend's new dd will see if I can find a link.

YAY - DD1 slept until 6.35 which is a vast improvement on the last few mornings of 5.15 and 5.45. DH and DD2 still sleeping though

Tweaky - hope your midnight party didn't last too long and you got some sleep.

Morning Springs :)

Tis very quiet on here today.. anyone would think you all had rls!!!

Have to go and sort out girls wardrobes now,maybe just have a quick cuppa before i start

hey all.
tired here and have a cold (dp ill as well) and S snotting everywhere still. DP at least managed to sleep through ast night;s disturbance.
Going to nap when s does. Hope everyone is ok!

Afternoon. Been to the gym and swimming and out for lunch. Cbeebies games on the computer for DD1 and DD2 colouring Big Barn Farm pictures. I love the cbeebies website

Hope you got some sleep last night tweakers?

QoD sorry to hear you are all grotty snotty. Hope things improve for the big celebrations tomorrow

Hello Just waiting for cbeebies to be over so we can put the DC to bed and collapse in a heap. Sadly the fact that I saw two magpies on Monday and picked up a lucky penny didn't mean I won the lottery last night so have to go to work again tomorrow, and working Monday next week so only have a rubbish normal weekend to look forward to Only thing keeping me going is the prospect of our rescheduled northern summer meetup on Tuesday

Queenie hope you all feel well enough to enjoy mucho cake tomorrow

thanks Spring

we forgot to do L's tooth fairy bad bad bad parents E saved the day by telling her the bag must have been too tight for the TF to get into it and we are going to try again tonight thank feck for big sisters [proud]

all day in kitchen, then Dr appt, then cash and carry and will be back in kitchen tonight as orders on the go

a few things in the pipeline but all too soon to start writing it down in case I jinx it

hope all well and sorry to be so absent - cupcake week isn't being kind to me in terms of time off!!

oh dizz, poor little L!

crisp sleep is for the weak But saying that, its amazing how different she is at sleeping compared to DS!

loti i did DS's yesterday! dh has been dressing him the last week or so and it has highlighted that there are an awful lot of clothes that don't fit him..doesn't stop DH putting him in them though!
re you looking after sil's DS! i just hope she's grateful!!

spring that'll be great if you get a chance, thank you!

my friend who had a son on the same day Pea was born has sent me a lovely little outfit for Pea. i've only managed to get her a card so far that i haven't even got in the post yet! she's ultra organised normally but she has astounded me this time! sooo, i need a very quick, easy to make idea for her son...any ideas? hmm, maybe a tooth pillow or is that silly given that he's a newborn? thinking and typing here, i think i'd prefer to save that for a future idea for a present for him. His name is long so cubes are out! Hmm, actually i've got some nice red fleece... I could make a blanket and stitch his name onto it... corny to have a personalised blanket or lovely? I'm pretty sure i wouldn't use a blanket with Pea's name on it...or maybe i would? argh i need your help oh wise hairy truckers!!!

qod hope you're all feeling better soon

and a hello to oops and hots

tweaks for my friend's twin boys I got steaknife to make them each a fleece blanket with their initial appliqued on. My friend absolutely loved them, also they were huge blankets so will last for ages as snugglers/pram warmers/bed blankets/picnic blankets etc.

I bet your friend was so organised because she got a thrill out of shopping for girl's clothes I can't help browsing wistfully among the gorgeous little dresses and coats every time I go to John Lewis.

ooh, initials are a fab idea! and will be even quicker than doing his whole name! thanks cyteen!

what makes it even more impressive is that she was only out of hospital last friday! actually, she must have sent her DH out shopping..surely?!!

Tweakers Both my girls were giving blankets with their name stitched on one corner. Both were/are quite used. Are you sure the "organized" gift isn't a "regift" type thing. Not that that is a bad thing (please don't take that wrong) but you said she had a boy and you had a girl...could she have picked up a girl outfit during the "gender unknown" stage or been given a girl gift so she had it on hand...you get what I'm saying. Her gift may just be thoughtful lucky thing instead of a product of extreme organization. I do things like that so that's the only reason I'm mentioning it. I still have a few items for the girls I never used in the top of my closet...do you want a car seat blanket? See...I'm sure there's more if I dug to the back of the closet. I'm sure she doesn't want you to feel stressed with the reciprocation factor. Relax. She's a lovely friend and will be happy with a box of brownies order from a lovely shop North of you.

If you can make heads or tails of this you are a good reader. My head is hurting and making things a bit blurry. I guess that means I've got another migraine. GEEEZZZZ!! UG!!!

oh i'm the queen of regifting
i just fancied making her DS something but time's somewhat limited at the moment!

TS you just gave me the idea of checking the receipt... it was bought on the 3rd of Sept!!! so before our babies arrived! She knew Pea was going to be a girl but she didn't find out hers was a boy until he arrived and therefore, i've been absolved of all guilt thank you!!
i'm going to post her card tomorrow with a little note that pressie will follow

i have a beautiful yet slightly smelly little girl here who needs a clean nappy and to be tucked up into bed (once she's had a bit more milk in her little tummy)

night all

tweaks - all of mine have their own personalised blankets and I've given some as presents previously - infact I think I remember recommending the site to Oops
