Good afternoon girls Sorry been MIA... been lurking. Trying to cut down on internet use. Had a rental inspection last week and really got stuck into the mess that had accumulated with my illness. Now it's much better and I'm keen to stay on-top of it!

Niall is doing well. He used the potty for the first time last Monday night too! Very proud of himself... i think he will have an easy training process. I'm using more fabric nappies (despite the wet weather) because I want him to get used to feeling wet and actively try to avoid it. It's starting to work. Couldn't resist buying him a new MCN training nappy though... it's an Imsey Vimsey (sp?) one. He's becoming very verbal too.... no worries there!

Went on a pub crawl through all my old haunts in Fitzroy last night with my oldest friend (from 1984) had a great time... very tired... going to curl up on the couch and watch the footy...

Big Hugs to all the Junies

Pub crawl - great! Good to see you're being good to yourself
Had a good catch up with my GF, went to Kallista market and we're back home in this mess...hoping Oscar will have a sleep soon so that I can start tidying up...
Thanks, Sherie, for the direct link, much appreciated!

Nic - $5 is pretty cheap, but I am not really a big fan of Hungry Jacks (kids prob wouldn't care!). The only downside to June birthdays is the bad weather. A friend has suggested a few other play centres so I might check them out too.

Bath - so good to see you back. How are things with your illness, sounds like you are getting back to your good self? Well done Niall with the potty. Marley is fascinated with the toilet, we have a toilet seat and she is very happy to sit and babble. Wonder if TT gets easier the more kids you have? Pub crawl - go girl. Sounds like a fun night, are you suffering from a hangover or just a late night? Has the area changed much since you were last there? Glad you had a night out.

Love the direct link too - thanks.

Friend coming for dinner tonight. I've made my delicious bacon and lentil soup, going to make homemade pizza bases with lots of yummy toppings and then apple, pear and rasp crumble. Good hearty winter food.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

pub crawl sounded like fun Bath!
well done Niall on the potty training.

Nixon just the last few days (always been when we are out though) has said wee wee, i dont know if he is recognising once he has done one, when he needs to do one, or none of the above he just likes saying it!!
im waiting for him to say it while we are home so we can attempt something in the potty. i still dont think he's on track though for full on TT.

yummy bacon & lentil soup sounds yum, yeah getting into soup weather i love it!

went to my gf engagement party yesterday followed by the Foo Fighters concert. DH had to work so got a pass, i miss that, dont get to go to the concerts much these days but it was great! I love their music and Dave Grohl is an entertainer.... he talks to the crowd as well as plays like a legend. some bands are great to listen to but dont know how to communicate with their audience.

ok must go have a tupp party this arvo

Well sorry I haven't been around but I've been quite busy, kids have been sick and Pat has this awful hacking cough again!

Nothing much new here, just figuring out what to do with pat's birthday, will most probably have a family party as per usual. I don't see the point in throwing him a huge party which he will never remember, I'd rather do that when he is older.
