Evening all, Jammy and Fury DH was impressed with that pub as it was in Inspector Morse [geek emoticon]. We couldn't make it as far as high wycombe.

So DH and I left DD with SIL today and went ice skating. Had a fab time and was skating well until 10 minutes before we were due to leave and I was busy yakking, fell over and was too distracted to put both my hands out. Fell smack on my face, was terrified that I might have broken my nose! I haven't but I have a lump the size of a golf ball above my eye (which I can barely open) and is turning a lovely shade of purple. Bruised cheek and chin, stiff wrist, and a knee the size of a grapefruit. Oh and a cracking headache and nausea! Great! All I wanted was a bit of time to myself, a bit of my life back and this is my punishment! I look like this (that is both sad and literally blue!)

V of your holiday btw fury!

ellen started pulling herself up in her cot today, and just now managed to do it in the bath cos there are handles on the side of the bath.
i am most impressed as this morning she worked out how to crawl forwards as well.
and she is cutting her two bottom teeth only discoverd the other day.
so she has gone from a lump that sits there and doesnt do much to a proper little mover..in like one day! im so proud of her!

Sounds nasty Bumper. Hope it'll feel rather better by morning (though sounds like it will take a few days at least to heal fully)

ooh poor bumper

yes fury I meant to say hotel looks luvverly

Oh look I'm going to need more sympathy than that! I might be concussed! I look like I've gone 4 rounds with Ricky Hatton! DH is panicking because people are going to think he's been beating me!

Right, I'm going to hobble off to have a bath, and when I get back I expect far more effusive sympathy

ooh ooh poooooooor you bumper it must be terrible you must be in so much pain

oh bumper i completely missed that! poor you, you sound really sore! hope it goes of soon, though like MJ says i think it'll take a few days. poor poor you

Seriously Bumper, it does sound awful. A shame that a nice afternoon ended so badly (but at least it was at the end?) I'm sure anyone who knows your DH won't suspect him of anything, and as for other idle speculators, well sod 'em! Hope you feel a bit better after your bath, so you can get some sleep at least. Are you taking suitable painkillers?

fury your hotel looks really nice, and good value to i am very very

bumper you poor thing!!

has anyone else put their little ones on a beaker yet? ellen stopped her bottles as of today as she has fully got the hang of a beaker now, and avoids all those puddles from where she leaves them lieing on the floor lol

It does look lovely but not sure we can go now - the only direct flights are on tuesdays or in the middle of the night on a saturday, otherwise it's a 7 hour trek with a stopover in madrid

I am going to see who else flys into fuerteventura cos I really wanna go to this hotel!!
