R slept till 5:45 then dozed/chatted till 8. We're off to visit some fairies after lunch, although he's not actually asleep yet despite a walk of over half a mile to Lidl Easter Hmm

Sorry BP I'm used to making my own entertainment at nap time - everyone else seems to be inexplicably busy at this time of day Easter HmmEaster Wink

I am making a shark fin, tidying up from lunch, wading through the laundry and not getting my onions planted. All at the same time.

BigPigLittlePig · 21/04/2014 13:01

This should totally kill the thread...

F has just done her first solid poo in over 8 months Grin just so happens to be the 8 months she was on formula

Wandathewindfairy · 21/04/2014 13:08

BigPigLittlePig · 21/04/2014 13:12

TMI wanda? Blush

ValiumQueen · 21/04/2014 13:51

Not caught up, but same here BP. J is having to have extra fibre since stopping the sodding formula.

fruitpastilles · 21/04/2014 13:58

Yay for solid poo bp S has just done a very mushy one, full of raisins. Think she had too many yesterday.

Now that's definitely TMI Grin

GTbaby · 21/04/2014 14:05

Quick heating up lunch. Not even tidying away toys. I need to enjoy the half hour tops I have both boys being in bed at same time.

GTbaby · 21/04/2014 14:13

Argh my tv time is being interrupted by the loud hail! Why does weather have to be so noisy!

fruitpastilles · 21/04/2014 16:28

Hope you managed to enjoy your lunch gt

I'm so hungry, we've got lasagne for dinner tonight, it smells lovely, want it to hurry up and be ready
What's everyone else having tonight?

flouncymcflouncerson · 21/04/2014 17:26

We're home had a lovely time but spent a fortune. I completely fell off my slimming world wagon and have weigh in tonight. I reckon a gain.... Not fantastic for my 2nd week but easter only happens once a year eh?! It wasn't even eggs that did it!

Kids are good. Nursery off tomorrow. I have consultant to discuss next surgery, still waiting on 2nd opinion appt which is problematic.... Interview is Wednesday!

fruitpastilles · 21/04/2014 17:40

Flouncy I will be exactly the same with my weigh in on Thursday, I've done nothing but eat rubbish since Friday, I blame dp being off!

Lily311 · 21/04/2014 17:42

Had a horrendous night last night, been up since 2 am. O slept through. We spent the whole day outside, by the river, pond, park and a tird little girl is asleep now.

Having nothing for dinner, I can't be arsed to move from the sofa. I want to sleep all night tonight.

fruitpastilles · 21/04/2014 17:57

Oh no lily I hope she sleeps well tonight! S will be going to bed shortly, she's just had her bath and absolutely soaked me in the process, little cheeky chops.

PurplePidjin · 21/04/2014 18:34

The lamb chop I didn't have last night because there was cottage pie leftover from the night before!

We had a lovely time with a friend hunting for fairies at a local gardens. R mastered the first rung of an actual ladder Shock would have got the second one too but it was time to go

Oh and we had our first phrase today - Out Door when I was putting our shoes and jackets on :o:o:o:o:o

YellowWellies · 21/04/2014 19:02

Second driving lesson today. The indicator stick came off in my hand. Oh dear god the shame Blush. Then on a better note, we bought the paint for the spare room and trellis for my honeysuckle with 15% off from Homebase, and spent a load of knife / cookware sticker thingies in Tescos we'd collected on getting new shiny shiny stuff for the kitchen.

Pidj it's funny the order they learn things - Jonas has been able to climb our full size decorators step ladders since he first encountered them in February (terrifying me!) right up to the top, the first time he tried. But he is a certified mountain goat. But daring to walk without holding Mummy's hands - he only conquered that a fortnight ago and still prefers to hold hands. Their perception of risk is all over the shop!!! Grin

Pizza and salad and Easter egg for tea here. Number one advantage of being back on dairy is those lazy 'just shove a pizza in the oven' teas. I don't do it anymore than once a week but it's so nice to have the option!

PetiteRaleuse · 21/04/2014 19:03

It's official. Am a pig. Glad I don't have weigh ins to go to.

Tomorrow we're going up to the lakes.

flouncymcflouncerson · 21/04/2014 19:22

Oh dear yw! However good to know you use indicators! Lol! Grin Grin

I love pizza... And in fact think Asda create your own can't be beaten now! We had a papa John's at the weekend and it was Yuck! I'm now parked outside SW group.... Uh oh!

ValiumQueen · 21/04/2014 19:31

Hello Grin busy day here with birthday and little party with family. I am coughing so hard I am vomiting now. Time to go to the Dr me thinks.

DD2 had some lovely presents (all chosen by me and bought at half price over the last few monthsGrin) and I now have pennies on my pocket as I have been reimbursed by loved ones. Might have to change my name to PlaymobilQueen Grin

Thank you for your kind wishes but please don't make a big deal of me turning 45 tomorrow

BigPigLittlePig · 21/04/2014 19:32

YW the rear view mirror once just fell off, into my hand as I adjusted it whilst going down the motorway. I sat with arm in air for a good minute wondering wtf do I do??

An hr til I have to leave for work Sad

BigPigLittlePig · 21/04/2014 19:33

Oh vq Thanks

StuntNun · 21/04/2014 19:44

Tea and chocolate are making me nauseous and a whiff of raw bacon nearly made me puke earlier. DH is worried I might be pregnant! Shock Please tell me it's just caused by progesterone levels being high before my period right?
