I love watermelon!

isles take his meatballs and run!!

Yum. Meatballs.

Yum. Watermelon.

Currently one handed crumble crumbling as have plaster on other hand.

I am eating hula hoops in bed.

Once F wakes up the kids are off to the fish shop with dh and I shall embark on tea.

Glad to see P knows where her food comes from!

He still hasn't showered. He is in bed.
I decided enough was enough. Went to the sculpture park with the boys. Most in buggy friendly place ever. So drive back give fh A to look after and go back with H. I mean why should he get to stay back and relax.

Park was lovely but hard work as it was lots of up hill down hill paths and steps and H got tiered so had to carry him. All 3 Boys are now asleep. Which has given me some crochet time alone at least.

Tomorrow morning I'll do the same I think. If he is up by 10 he can join me. I'm going to a graffallo walk. Forgot the book which I wanted to read before bed tonight. Oh well. He has read the counting book so may H will recognise the characters.
Back by 1so the kids can sleep and I'm going to leave fh here to sleep with them while I go to the pub next door for a roast.

I'm waffling. Out of frustration. Ordering pizza tonight. So at least I don't have to cook.

GT he doesn't deserve you or the boys. That's so selfish of him.

Isles, Pass clearly its the weather for IKEA! We got hemnesed up for the new baby's room yesterday! Isles steer clear of his meatballs !

After admiring my sister's fab new car we've had a day of flat pack building, lawn mowing, batch cooking and generally getting ready for number two. Our bedroom is all painted so tonight I'm going to put the new bedding on the bed (something for my waters to christen) and the new wee lanterns on the bed frame and call it mission accomplished. I really wanted the room done and cosy for newborn snuggles and we've done it. Just need to hem and hang curtains for the guest room and hem some Orla Kiely fabric for the dining table and we'll have finished four rooms. I must get pregnant more often - its the only way the house gets done. Seriously not again - I really want my body back and to be able to sleep on my tummy again

The baby born on my Oct 14 thread yesterday was 8lb 5oz at 35 weeks!!!!!

Goodness that's a great weight for an early birth! Imagine if s/he had gone to full term

We went to the farm open day and ran into the friend whose 1yo's birthday party didn't happen a few weeks ago. With his wife and child. Was a tad awkward. She was all smiley and showed no sign of embarassment. He looked a bit awkward I suppose hoping we wouldn't say anything. DD1 had a donkey ride and we also ran into one of the nursery workers. The one I embarassed myself in front of a few weeks ago too.

How weird pr!

It sounds fabulous yw. We also need proper impetus to get stuff done - plenty boxes in this house will remain unpacked before shiftingn them to the next!

On our way back from costkea p showed off her new party trick. Ask her to sing about any animal and she invents a song. For example "can you song a song about a doggy?" "Yes. Lllaaaaaaaa aaaiiiiiii aaaeeeeee . . . Woof"

Pussy - "meow meow meow yeah meow meow meow"

And DH and I both soaked broth mix without the other one realising knowing and both of us doubled the mix. So, scotch broth for tea round pass towers for a while!

Well Ikea went on fire just as I was about to tuck into some meatballs and dime bar cake. Pants.

That is crappy luck isles

No nap today. I don't do no naps. O needs to learn that.

She said today: is it delfin or is it dolphin? Delfin is the Hungarian spelling and pronounciation. I have a clever one.

Watermelons are gone, neighbours took them.

That is amazing lily

On fire isles? It wasn't on fire when I was there !

Bloody hell YW that's a cracking weight for that gestation. Wonder if her dates were right? Glad you're all sorted for DC2, how exciting!

How scary Isles. Did you get shopping done or was the averted meatballs a pre-shopping meal.

GT that sounds really, really shitty and a horrible way to behave. Big hugs. Hope you can still enjoy tube away with the boys.

We spent the day shopping for holiday bits - S was v unimpressed with shoe shopping for sandal type shoes for him. Had lush Thai for lunch then spent the afternoon packing for hols. In 48 hours we will be going to bed ready to get up at 3am, or what S likes to think is playtime. 2 days of work to get through first. Cannot wait!

Where are you going zamboni ?

How is pikz ? Did you survive the trip away?

Ibiza PR.

Yes Pikz, how was the trip?

Hellllo sorry I have read everything but haven't had a moment to post with L wrapped around me.

Trip was ok. I found it mega tough and cried at least once a day. Some nights were a bit of a drunken laugh but I never ever want to have to spend that long away from L again unless I choose to. I am a mega wimp!!

How are you all? I've seen packing and hols, ikea and house moves..and FH in the case of GT!

17 days to work

Oh wow VQ!

We picked about 2kg of blackberries, who's in for crumble tomorrow? And had yummy yummy pork, a surprise hit with dsd, who is usually picky. She even scoffed a load of crackling!

How excited was your wee man to see you, Pikz? When I went away for a few days, F was totally non-plussed when I got back, then spent a day literally beating me up, then hit the clingy phase.

YW I am vair impressed by your decorating skills. We have finished the lounge, utility room, most of the kitchen, half of the hall. Just our room to go, but will have to wait til after exams now. Need to sort through he outstanding clutter, too.

Oh wow VQ!

Pig he was over the moon but ok yesterday. Today I nipped to the dump and he had a full on meltdown where has mummy gone. He's used to DH being away but not me at all. He's very clingy now but lovely with it.

Yes, I believe there is a vair big and important law-type meeting, erm, thingy, round about here somewhere tomorrow

Night quiche xx

Wow lily that is cleaver. Think my boy will be sporting rather then cleaver maybe a wrestler or rugby player? Although his understanding is improving our two word sentences are -that one and - no stop. He was cuddly today in evening. He says huggy a lot more. Sobbed huggy when we put him to bed last night.

Fh tells me he will be up and ready on time. I've told him he is not ruining another day. I'm not waiting nor arguing with him.

gt I meant to say yesterday, your dh is a twat. I really hope he behaves himself today, you deserve better.

pikz when I leave O with my parents for the night, she always gets really angry with me when I collect her. She shouts, no mummy and refuses to do anything for me while we are there. Than a day later she becomes clingy and takes a good 5 days to get back to normal.

zamboni have a lovely holiday! hope you will rest and get some tan.

vq wow! wow. Passed so quickly.

The day has finally arrived, she starts nursery today. We are going for 2 hours and building it up slowly. Guess who is the happiest in the Lily household??

Morning quiche. I had a lay in until 4.30! Whoop!

I will get told off at Nursery today as J has had another haircut been shaved I figure he will need his hair where we are going, so it was my last chance

16 working days after today. I am going to be unbearable aren't I?
