May09 - Christmas is on it's way and Grumpycaaa is comin' to town!!

[essenceofSES]

Hope that works!

Cocktail anyone?!

hope you had a fabby birthday pula

great that you've no hangover grumpy

well i have not been able to get a nap today & i'm surprisingly ok atm.. it'll prob be tomorrow i'll feel it though. i seem to get a lot more done on days i've had hardly any sleep kept ds busy helping me.. we made the empire biscuits , thick pancakes, egg custard, washed the vomit stuff from last night amongst the usual toddler & G day!

the bonus is both are asleep already so dh & i are relaxing on sofa eating our way through the biscuits with large cups of tea

I'm dh watching the darts too. Game on.

Oh, and Fi. You are superwoman. No naps today after your night . Muchos respect.

reggie i'm surprised myself! Maybe i'm just on my 2nd 10th wind?! or the vats of tea i've drunk today?

fi reverently lays sausage from grumpy down on a bed of soft fresh white bread.. liberally applies lashings of tomato sauce.. gently covers with more soft white bread.. and scoffs the lot in a flash!

I had to make greasy fry-up (fi-up) at DH's insistence, after his bitter, bitter disappointment this morning upon discovering that the hotel breakfast was a continental one (and the croissants were, for people used to the genuine French article, crap). He sat, mauling bits of toast in upset fashion, muttering 'this breakfast's crap. Where's the sausage, where's the bacon'.

So, we've just had sausage, bacon, fried potatoes, mushrooms, grilled tomato, fried egg and beans. With toast.

And cream cakes for afters.

He's a very, very happy boy now!

thanks grumpy for the wipe and wipes drool sausage grease and tomato sauce from her chin.

now considering making one for real as i'm salavating at the thought of your dinner!! YUM

Evening all

Happy birthday Pula Fi the hairy bikers program was good wasn't it? I want to try the crumpets

Belgina love the jaffa cakecakecake, have made it a few times and it's yummy

babbling Jake does dadadada and babababa but not mamamama but he goes through phase of certain noises for days at the moment its kissing noises and ooooooo. My favourite was when he spent a few days doing a sort of roar; ooooaaaarrrrrr!

Hurrah! DP has just placed a glass of wine next to me

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone . Just chilling with a glass of wine .

fi- I'm amazed you haven't napped today too. I found myself dozing on the sofa just before tea tonight- just couldn't keep my eyes open- S was having a late nap and DD/DS1 were watching cbeebies and DH had gone to see his DB who shares my birthday.

bookmarking

I was struggling to keep my eyes open after lunch pula.. dh too.. so went off for a bath and felt a lot better after.
cherry after the program i headed straight onto amazon to pre order their book.. i've got the others and just couldn't resist!

Happy Birthday to yooooooooou
You live in a zooo
You look like a monkey
And smell probably rather fragrant and lovely, actually

xxxx

Am feeling like I look a bit Susan Boyle today, don't sound like her, unfortunately

Nor have you got a best selling album either grumpy

cherry I dont think babies say mamamama until much later. The dadadada always comes before mamamama, I'm pretty sure my older 2 never said mama to me until they were past 18m . It always used to really annoy me that DH got called by his 'name' first.

fi I'm equally amazed that you've managed to stay awake today. I wish you a better night tonight (and an early one)

pula Enjoy your glass of wine

the jafacakecakecake was lovely. I might add a bit more orange on top next time though. I'd already done extra chocolate (you can never have too much chocolate )

belgina- you have just reminded me that my DD used to babble "dada" indiscriminetly, but once she could speak properly, her name for DH until she was nearly 3 years old was nangnang . Not sure where she got it from, or why she didn't call him daddy but it was very funny and sweet!

And i'm already onto my second glass of wine [hic hic].

Darts??

Yes Momi. My kinda sport (if I was forced to participate in a sport I think darts would be near the top. For laziness sake I add).

pula, hope you had a great day.
Fi, amazed you're still awake.
grumps, glad you had a good night out with plenty o' vodka and no hangover to follow.
belgina, some jaffacakecakecake puhlllleeeeease!!!

reggiee, i'd love to be paid to play darts .

dadada ds used it for me, dh et all for quite a while and i think G is the same too..

heading off to dream feed G and having the much needed early night..

hic hic all you want pula after all you've only one birthday a year!

Momino re chest pain, I had some the other day and I wondered if it is linked to breastfeeding in some way. I hadn't fed for a while as we'd been out and about. I don't get engorged or anything now so it was that I thought of first before anything sinister.

Grumpy I'd do anything for a greasy fry-up right now!

Belgina HOW many teeth? Still none here!

Fi I hope you have a good night tonight.

Babbling G is saying mamamamamama and dadadadadada and babababababa ALL the time.

Seems a bit warmer today. I really, really hope there is school tomorrow. I want to get back into our normal routine now.

llare, interesting about the breastfeeding. i've had a few other twinges of breast pain (never worried about that) and she's been feeding less and less so maybe you're right.

warmer here as well. we've actually turned the heat off for the night as it's been on all day/night for the last few days. llare, I'll bet there is school tomorrow.
