A tea party sounds lovely! :) Brew

HarrietJonesPrimeMinister · 31/08/2012 14:19

We have it already. Ikea one ,got it on our last trip! Also got a dolly bed for when she gets her big bed.

WhatWouldVegansDo · 31/08/2012 14:39

Very organised! :) We have ordered the bike, will collect from PIL when we go there for a wedding in a few weeks.

HuggyPommelHorsebear · 31/08/2012 17:55

Not sure yet on the birthday pressie.
We're taking a long weekend round it but haven't decided what we'll do. Hopefully a family party.
We don't watch any thing on children's tv (but I secretly hope she'll like some old fashioned stuff that I liked but she's not bothered now.)
Water is the top toy.
Chin length graduated bob with fringe.

WhatWouldVegansDo · 31/08/2012 18:03

Oh yes, DS LOVES water, he could stay in the bath for hours!

Congratulations Plumsie and a lovely name

Well it is back to reality today after the lovely summer hols. Which means I will be back on here a lot more when I should be working!

I know its not Friday anymore but am going to play anyway

  1. An art desk
  2. I don't know yet. Did think Blackpool illuminations but now not sure. Need to decide.
  3. Ben and Holly
  4. Stickers- costing me a small fortune in keeping up with her sticker habits!
  5. Just above my shoulders with a fringe.
WhatWouldVegansDo · 04/09/2012 01:01

Welcome back, bp, feels like you were gone ages!

Which art desk are you getting?

I think we all have the same haircut! :)

busyprocrastinating · 05/09/2012 20:03

Thank you WWVD. We went abroad and then had a few weeks back home where I was busy trying to catch up with friends and a trip to Alton Towers and the Harry Potter studios and then went to Cornwall. Definately made the most of the summer hols!

We got the art desk from Toys R Us when it was on sale in about May.

It does sound like we all have the same haircut I think from fb piccies we all have similar coloured hair too Smile

HJ here , just shoeing off my new Dr Who name so you all recognise me on here

WhatWouldVegansDo · 06/09/2012 13:39

Sounds like a great break, bp.

Wow, super organised! :)

Haha, true!

I never get your names, Ood, never having watched Dr.Who.

Hello. It's a bit past the original Friday but here goes.
What are you getting your 2010 toddler for their birthday?
No idea. I look in the playroom and want to get rid of stuff not add more! Dd always seems to prefer Ds's toys so maybe I should just get more train track stuff for her Grin.
What are you doing for their birthday? Having a party in the house probably the weekend after as it's her birthday midweek. I'm in work and she's in creche that day which is a bit shit.
What is YOUR favourite child's tv programme or film that they watch? Dd doesn't really watch tv much. She might stand in front of the television sit through a a bit of whatever ds is watching sometimes. Have to say of the stuff he watches it's definitely Octonauts that I like best.
Which toy(s) do they play with the most? See above! Actually at the moment she is very into pushing a walker toy with a Pooh bear and a honey pot which spins around on the front of it. Funnily enough I don't think she ever used it when she was actually learning to walk.
How long is your hair? I had it chopped a few months ago from what it was to a long bob and it's now grown to just below my shoulders. Need to get it shaped!

We went to the Paralympics last weekend and it was AMAZING. I'm just watching the closing ceremony. Not too sure about involving Coldplay in it. Will be so sad it see it end. I'm seriously thinking of starting to save so all of us can go to Rio! (Or alternatively to South Africa so I can stalk Oscar Pistorius Blush)

OodHousekeeping · 10/09/2012 12:55

Ah it was you at the Paralympics . Get muddled between here & FB!

HuggyPommelHorsebear · 11/09/2012 18:50

Hello! On holiday in Sandbanks this week. Went to Monkey World, Ape rescue centre today. They rescue apes from all over the world. Teeny tiny ones and massive orangutans. It was lovely to see them happier. Obviously they'd be even happier in their natural surrounding, but this was a good second place.

Tomorrow we think we'll go to the steam train. DD was a little unsure of the beach today and DH ended up carrying her.

It does sound like we've all got similar hair! Mines quite light though at the moment. Summer hair Smile.

OodHousekeeping · 11/09/2012 20:51

We went to the beach in Wales on Saturday , was glorious but dd3 wanted to paddle in wellies.

HuggyPommelHorsebear · 12/09/2012 18:09

DD's still not happy with the beach.....

SunsetsandSeagulls · 13/09/2012 18:43

Huggy name change. It's the view from my holiday apartment window Smile. DD went to the beach late afternoon and touched the sand! Shrieked at touching the sea though. Part 2 of holiday in land locked Wiltshire starts tomorrow!

WhatWouldVegansDo · 20/09/2012 22:02

Quiet these days, just logging in to say hi!
We are in Scotland for a few days, for a wedding.
Nice namechange, Sunny! :) You look about 20 in your latest photo!

OodHousekeeping · 21/09/2012 18:21

You get about don't you!

SunsetsandSeagulls · 22/09/2012 19:29

Thank you WWVegansD Blush....shot taken from a distance.

Back to work on Monday, boo hiss.

WhatWouldVegansDo · 22/09/2012 20:18

Ood, I try! :)

Sunny, you really do.

TribbleTuckandDismount · 23/09/2012 08:35

Hello how is everyone?

WW Ooo I hope you're having fun!

OodHousekeeping · 23/09/2012 09:04

Ok, hitting the Cutted up palest stage of toddlerdom. Quite hilarious and frustrating equally.

'want tea want tea' was this mornings chant. She wanted toast on a plate. Hmm
