HC - sorry you are feeling poorly. Dare I suggest the ironing can wait, say, a few years? I am an ironer myself, so don't say that lightly, but if Matthew is asleep, can't you have a kip instead? Recharge my love...been meaning to ask you actually, are you on a Post natal thread for Matthew? [waits for answer, tapping toe, drumming fingers]
Spin - don't know if you are joking about the mystery virus that forces you to lie around reading the Twilight saga.... Because I am in rude health, but also found myself attached to the sofa to read those books - have finished Breaking Dawn this weekend, gutted, and tempted to start them all over again....
DH has been off booze, and drove last night when we went to friends for dinner, didn't seem to bother him in the slightest although it was a rather tame affair, lovely, but not a session by any means. Wonder how he would cope in a more full on scene...it was great to just have the driving decision made, plus he then got up sans hangover and went fishing......
.....which is of course why Toby decided this morning would be a great day to get a nasty tummy bug that had him double over in agony poor little thing. Thank god MIL was here, from baby sitting the night before, as she could stay with H while I took Toby to the walk in clinic locally. She couldn't find anything wrong, but by then he had done an almighty puke (all over sofa) so I think the worse had passed. Still, I kept him home while MIL took H to the Wizard Express (steam engine on Watercress Line) that I had been really looking forward to taking the boys too, at least H got to go.
Friday night had my two little nieces to stay until Saturday afternoon as my sister was in Scotland for a wedding. They are such good girls, and the 18 month old just followed me around for cuddles calling me Mumma. Melt. Wouldn't it be great if you could just be handed your 3rd one at 18 months old (with all the memories intact etc). They are both adorable, but they are called Lily and Willow and I keep calling them Willy and Lillow by mistake...too many Lls...
I am making this for the Halloween party we are going to next Saturday night. In fact we have 3 parties next weekend but only making this once (or perhaps twice lets see how it turns out). just the 780 calories and 35 grams of fat per slice!!! I think it might be worth it.
HC - re wieght loss, I never lose any weight when I lay off the wine - I think if I did I would do it more often.....I'm with you, could never be teetotal, and in fact have just had a slu out of the open bottle in the fridge...
Right, X Factor results.
