OMG that is frikkin wicked iwish!!!! May have to nick that!! Never seen one before!!

Lol at the sex drive, mine has totally gone, has for months now, don't know what's wrong!!

We got our xmas tree off ebay Liz a few years ago. Was a £50 one from argos, someone had a job lot off the back of a lorry I assume, got it and delivered for £12!! Really nice one it is, and bushy.

Will let you know about bauble, thank you so much for that. I'm just watching one off ebay, hoping I get that :) The hoover sounds fab, I remember having one of those!!

Yeah, Rob's looking forward to Italy, think it'll be hard work though.
Oh forgot to say, Euan had some photos done at toddlers the other week, got them today, bloody gorgeous!! Them ones with a white background they are. The one is slightly blurry though so I'm not too happy with that one, so he's going to try and sharpen it up a bit. ok from a distance, but I wouldn't be happy putting it on the wall!

Can't post them on fb as going to copy them for the parents and grandparent for chrimb :)

Cool isn't it klou! Not bad price either. Feel free to nick it :)
That's a lovely idea getting pic for grandparents. We were thinking of making a calendar for the great grandparents.

A bit embarrassing but we hadn't dtd for about 3 months because I've either been bleeding or being moody cow and not wanting it but now I've had my implant removed its coming back slowly. Are you on the pill?
We are being v naughty tho and using the withdrawal method lol!! Will just be very careful around ovulation.

KLou111 · 07/11/2012 20:49

3 months, good god!! I'm not that bad lol!
Must admit, when I was on anti biotics a few weeks ago we weren't very careful!! Let's see if I have any surprises in the next few weeks!! I didn't take my pill for about 2 weeks as I didn't see the point, can't stand it.

We made calendars last year on vistaprint. We got 5, one for us, both sets of parents, and grandparents, only about £5 i think x

I know!! I was bleeding for most of that time tho lol.
Might have a look on vista print then, choosing the pics will be hard Grin

Going my but the happy hopper for Joshua today, they sell them in a shop near me so am taking him to have a look at them :)

KLou111 · 08/11/2012 13:31

Which one you getting?? I quite like the red bull, no the blue dog, no the green dinosaur, no the cow.........get my point lol!!!
So many to choose from!!

OP posts:
Iwish · 08/11/2012 18:16

I got the blue dog :). Can't wait for him to play with it. He had a go of the demo one in the shop and seemed to like it... Then he fell off lol.

KLou111 · 08/11/2012 20:51

Awwww, he'll love it!
I ordered a red dragon off ebay, different company, but quite fitting as Euan was born in Wales!!
Have also ordered the aquadoodle, cutlery, tomy megasketcher, Galt Jungle baby puzzles. Eek, so excited now!!!!

And thank you so much Liz for the tip about Harrods free delivery!!!! Have ordered an even better tree decoration, and it was buy one christmas souvenir, get one free, so have ordered a kids apron for Euan :) All for £8.95 delivered!!

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 08/11/2012 21:26

That's ok klou, I once ordered something for someone who doesn't have the Internet, and now gt emails from them.

oMG 3 months!!!!! That's worse than me, and that's saying something!!!!

And I can't believe the pair of you, you will be joining the conceiving threads again soon!!!

I did the vista print calendars last year, I did 11 all for Christmas presents, I think ith vat and post they cost about £7 each, but for how good they are I don't think that's dear. And I have seen an advert somewhere where if you buy one you gt 5 free! I I'll have to look into it, I think, but got o get some pics off my phone first.

Chris is going to benidorm Tuesday. Me nd you will be in the same boat .

lizandlulu · 12/11/2012 15:33

How are you getting on on your own klou? Chris goes on his jollys tonight.

How are you iwish? Have you both had good weekends?

Iwish · 12/11/2012 19:46

Hey liz yeh had a good weekend thanks. Nick dad came up on Saturday so we went to the park then out for tea.

How was your weekend?

KLou111 · 12/11/2012 21:26

Hi both
Weekend was good ta. Rob left at 5.30 Saturday morning, I had to nip to let a girl in one of the houses, came home, took Euan through the carwash, went to The Range that opened here Friday, spent a small fortune on Xmas decs.

Sunday my parents had Euan all day so I could get on with making the roman blinds for our kitchen. All done, just need Rob to hang them when he's back. Took me 4.5 hours to make all 3, so I was quite happy with that. Saved a bit cos they were about £45 each, but I got another pair of curtains the same as the kitchen for free (small fault in 1st pair of curtains I got, and I got to keep them :)) so I made them out of them!

Today, I was NOT happy when I went downstairs. WARNING to what you read. Euan got up came into bed with me. I went downstairs about 8 to get his breaky to be faced with approximately 9 proper massive dog poos, and foot print dog poo all over my (excuse me) fucking kitchen. I went off my frikkin tits (inside my brain anyway cos I didn't want to scare the dog!!). I'd just bought a new rug for in there so Euan could play on it cos it's tiled. All over the sofas (thankfully got throws on) and all over the floor. I felt so sick. I could hear Euan crying but it took me a good 40 mins to clean it all up. It has smelt like a bloody kennel in the house today, I've bought plug ins, sprayed freshener, cleaned the rug again, put shake and vac on it too. It's currently over our bannister drying. Was not best pleased. Bella kept farting last night and it stank REALLY bad, fizzy like, so she probably had a tummy upset.

I had to bath her too as it was all round her bum. So I didn't have a great morning!! But went to toddlers this afternoon, lot better :)

lizandlulu · 12/11/2012 21:43

Not so many piles of poo at toddler group?

Oh my god, it could only happen when your on your own and could do without it couldn't it!

Well done for making the blinds! I couldn't know where to start, I am not crafty at all.

Did they have ny good trees in the range????.

Yes I had a good weekend, went to see a freind in Sheffield who's had a new baby, TGIF Fridays for lunch, then home nd pizza hut for tea! Then went to Peterborough shopping on Sunday for chris's final few holiday bits. Was good all round.

He leaves early hours tonight, flying from bloody stanstead!!

Iwish · 15/11/2012 16:42

Hi ladies

How are you both? Do you both have your hubbies back?

Joshua has started with the terrible 2s already I think. Talk about tantrums!! Screaming for 5 minutes because I wouldn't give him something!

lizandlulu · 15/11/2012 19:18

Nope, mine is back sometime Saturday.

What a bloody coencidence iwish!!! Violets had a temper tantrum tonight for my mum!! I have been fetching he kids from school and nursery, then having to go back to work leaving mum here with the kids and this evening I come home and violets screaming and chocking and can hardly breathe. Mum said she started cause she wanted to spoon her yoghurt into her mouth herself and mum was trying to help her, so she started and mum took her out the highchair and she hide under the highchair, then stood up and stamped her feet.
I just caught the tail end of it! Thank god!!

Iwish · 15/11/2012 19:55

He's had quite a few tantrums recently. He just screams and throws himself on the floor. He's also started hitting! He hit 3 kids when we went out last week and today kept pushing my friends little girl out of his way Shock

Think I'm going to get Joshua some paints and an apron for Christmas. He's been painting at nursery and at the sure start centre and he loves it.

KLou111 · 16/11/2012 17:05

Just a quickie. Tantrums here too, stomping feet etc when he doesn't get his own way, miserable little buggar!
Hubby home here :)

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 16/11/2012 18:12

Ohh it's awful when they hit other kids isn't it! Violet is still smacking, although not as much as she used to, I think the noveltys worn off abit!

Iwish · 16/11/2012 19:21

Our children are monsters lol!

What are you both up to this weekend?

KLou111 · 16/11/2012 19:35

Nothing much tomorrow, but going for dinner at a friends Sunday evening, my parents are having Euan that afternoon overnight.

Yes they are monsters!! Euan goes mad at the moment when we get him out the bath. Yesterday he'd done a sloppy poo in the day so I stood him in the bath and showered him down, got him out and he started stomping and screaming to go back in!!! I was only washing his bum!!!

I got an email from one of the parent and toddler groups (cow and gate or boots or someone) saying they can start the terrible 2s early. Think we've all got them!!!

How's violet with her walking now Liz?

What yous up to x

OP posts:
Iwish · 16/11/2012 20:57

Lol at you washing his bum klou! That video you posted of him dancing to the singing tree was so cute btw!!

This weekend I have no idea what I'm doing lol. I know we are going to my cousins so nick can put a light up at her house but that's it.

IM SOOO EXCITED ITS NEARLY CHRISTMAS!!!

KLou111 · 16/11/2012 21:31

He is dancing to EVERYTHING at the moment, he is so bloody cute. We were at soft play weds afternoon and they had a massive speaker playing background music and he stood on front of it bouncing up and down dancing.
Rob put the portable speaker in Euans bathroom tonight while we bathed him and he was bobbing up and down sitting down.

Only started doing it last 10 days or so, do funny :-)

And Christmas nearly here scares me lol!! All of eueys pressies here though, and he knows exactly where! Bloody bright kid as he can open the door to the spare room and gets the ones that aren't in boxes (bath toys etc). Too smart for his own good that one!!

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 16/11/2012 22:44

Violet is walking all over now, she doesn't crawl no more. She's really steady on her feet, it doesn't take them long does it!!

I am managing to keep all the presents hidden away, violets I don't really mind, I keep putting them up high so she doesn't see them, but lulu is into all the draws and cupboards so am going to have to hide hers up the loft I think! Most are at my mums for now, I am going to wrap them as soon as I bring them here.
Another little problem now that she's older is that we are going to my in laws for Christmas day, how am I going to get a car full of presents there without ulu twig going on that's what they are and knowing Santa doesn't have them???

KLou111 · 17/11/2012 09:06

Can you put then on the car the night before? And sneak them out the car when you get there?

OP posts:
lizandlulu · 17/11/2012 09:11

Yes I think I am going to have to, is like a military operation!!!

Iwish · 17/11/2012 10:03

I've only got Joshua 1 prezzie up to now! Going to get him some paints, brushes and a little apron I think. Might also see if I can get a little fold away table for him to paint on.

Maybe one of you could sneak over with the prezzies Xmas eve. Unless its far away.

Bless Euan dancing. Soo cute
