Babies Born June 2006 #20

[MelS]

Afternoon all,

Just been and done my grocery shopping and got stopped by so many old ladies wanting to talk to me about babies - Marley just loves old people and smiles nicely at them! Done a quick clean up, put away shopping, Marley asleep, now time to read the paper!

Bath - you are so right about what you said. No point turning things into an argument because no one wins, each party just keeps wanting to prove they are right. I am a bit strong willed so I need to be careful when DH and I are disagreeing - bite my tongue and speak calmy and sensibly (it is sooo hard sometimes).

Simone - there is stuff you can get at the supermarket to remove the dye from clothes. Not sure what its called but you could give it a try - so frustrating when they are new clothes, it couldn't have happened to the old ones! My DH tends to throw all colours in together and usually the only stuff that gets ruined is mine! I have politely asked him to leave the washing to me - he does a good job helping with the housework but washing is now off limits LOL! Enjoy gigging out - I have been listening to Pete Murray, Missy Higgins and now might bust out George Michael!!! I get so much more motivation to do the housework when I have groovy music to listen to.

Char - happy 5 months to Aja. I think she must be the youngest of our group. Glad your head is feeling better today.

IK - so glad to hear you back! Glad everything went well, I am sure your nose looks great (not that I ever noticed anything wrong with it!). I am sure Oscar will settle soon, he probably just missed his mummy. DP sounds like he is doing a great job, it must be frustrating for him seeing Oscar not taking the bottle. How long before the morphine is out of your system?

Going to the Magnolia Parade Christmas Fair tonight in East Malvern (it starts tonight and goes through until Sunday). It is an annual event and sounds great, it has all kids things there from different shops (ones you don't see everyday). They are also selling cupcakes and proceeds to go to the Breast Cancer Foundation. Glad to know that I can enjoy a cupcake and not feel guilty as the money is going to a good cause LOL!! Going with a couple of friends so DH has the girls tonight. I also registered for the Snugtime sale which another member posted about. It is on Friday and Saturday in Cheltenham, so hopefully they have good bargains (still looking for some xmas presents!).

Lunch is calling - back later!
