:redface: i do! I can't crack and egg without putting my fingers through it to save my life tho!
oh nelly, you are making me HUNGRY!:
sounds very yummo
lol gigi! If I'm not careful I'll put those 2 pregnancies worth of weight I lost after Jake back on!
:dance: I succeeded!!! :dance:
I have separated the eggs successfully with no fingers in them ( don't ask me how my fingers get in there I am just unco) using my great little tupperware egg separator! Pavlova is in the oven just need a recipe for the yolks now. Any ideas? There are 4 and I really don't feel like making custard!
oooohhhhh i was going to suggest custard!!! i need 8 egg yolks for christmas day custard so send them down here!!
I'll express post them today :rofl:
beauty!!!!!!!! :rofl:
OK the Pav was a huge success, the sponge was a bit firm but looked pretty good for my first attempt, and most of the goodies I baked are almost all gone! I ended up making a Key lime PIe - beat the eggs with a tin of condensed milk and 125ml lime juice and baked it in a shortcrust base. Am Doing the turkey today to have cold tomorrow and preparing my roast veges... oh and making a trifle too for the thing we are going to tonight.
My aunt and uncke (mum's sister) came over last night and they had a grand time with Jake. They tried IVF for over 10 years with no success so I love to see them with Jake. Theirs is also one of the only places he will happily sleep over at too which is nice to have - I am thankful that they are closer now we have moved. I forget sometimes when I lament no family how lucky I am to have them. They had a ball and Jake handed out their pressies then proceeded to unwrap them for them lol. I've told him if he sleeps in his big bed all night tonight he gets to open all of the presents tomorrw and his little face lit up.... I will probably wake up in the morning and there will be paper EVERYWHERE lol.
Merry Christmas girls - when I am lamenting no family I am also grateful that I found you all my cyber family! Be safe and take care of yourselves!
Hey I just realised I'm halfway today too!!!!
Your very chipper Nelly noo.
I'm sitting here wishing I was still asleep. I didn't go to bed until one, was watching a movie, and then was woken at 5.40am by a smelly bottomed boy! I hate having insomnia. If I try to go to bed earlier I lay and toss and turn, and keep DH awake. so I stay up until I'm really tired, and know that I will fall asleep quickly. only problem with that one is that I'm shattered in the day because of the early starts. oh boo hoo to me.
I can't believe its christmas tomorrow....
V bigs hugs! Make sure you nap when Aston does - the big kids are big enough to look after themselves for a couple of hours - so is Richard! And no scratching that itch it is purely nap time ;)
I was thinking just then in the shower why am I so chipper lately.... not sure ... maybe bcos I've made some decisions and put some demons to rest, stopped feeling guilty about being a working mummy, hmmm.... it may even be bcos I have gone to bed at 830 the last 2 nights and even though we've had 2 wake ups the have been relatively quick (esp when DH goes to him) we've all gone back to sleep. Forgot how sleep deprivation can drag you down... have to enjoy it while I can lol!! Plus I love baking and making some of mums fave xmas recipes has made me feel she's a bit closer.
Aw thats lovely for you Nelly, theres nothing better than a bit of clarity ;)
Vicky - i'm a bit like that too, but i've found lately if i take my phone to bed i 'play' word puzzles games and stuff and that knocks me out instantly. worth a try?
We have a big Christmas Eve dinner at our place every year and i've just made the desert and i'm trying to get the motivation up to clean. but its hot and i seem to have developed an allergy to something lately - itchy eyes, nose and ears - driving me mental!!!
anyways
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!!
I*could send you my trifle! It's HUGE - in a 4.6L bowl and DH has just informed tonight is nibblies only - thought it was a bbq oops :redface: looks good tho! Turkey has an hour to go then just precook veges to chuck on the bbq at the beach tmrw!
My son Lennon was born on the 30th November 2006 so I am going to enjoy this section and chatting to other parents with children the same age as my son :D
Nelly where are you getting all this energy from??? Took me forever to get through all your posts on food!
Not much happening here...pains non stop....not the right ones. Have no motivation to do much.
Ive got nothing to post so dont come in unless i do!
But today i do....dummy is gone!!!! It went Monday night and its not been back since :)
15 days to go til BumbleBee *might* be here...im so excited. Some pics on FB of his room for thoe who have it.
Have a good Christmas all.
ETA: Welcome Nat to the group. Another boy to our group....wasnt a very girly month in 06!
Thanks sweetness :) XXXXX
Lennon's tantrums are something chronic
Yeah Chelsea chucks lovely ones too.....and she is teaching her sister how to throw them well now too!
Back chatting is her specialty though!! Of course miss Drama queen too.
Dont ya love this age!!
Wow, Chelsea was born the day before my son Lennon :D
Nat im reading your birth story now and all i can say is *HUGE HUGS*....what a horrible experiance you had.
Tara's little girl Evie was born the same day as Lennon :D
Hi Nat welcome!
Hello Nelly and thanks for the welcome, halfway through hey honey :D XXXXX
ETA: Kim, thanks for the hug hun XXXXXXXX I am still not over it :( keep having flashbacks and all sorts
Nelly are you finding out Mollys gender....or a surprise bundle?
wow nelly half way!!!!!! gone soooo fast!!!!
welcome nat!!!
not long now kim!
hope you got a sleep v!
surprise bundle - tho DH is sure it's a girl... I don't mind either way. Not sure where my energy is coming from either!
hidey ho peoples.
welcome Nat - your little man is one day younger then my little man. and the joy of tantrums... Aston's favourite word at the moment is NO! yelled loudly with hands clenched. And I think he is considering dropping his day sleep. eek! The dummy is supposed to going to santa tonight.... been talking about it with him for weeks - but somehow I don't think its gonna happen :redface:
On the positive - he is still a delight. He has become Nathan's little shadow..." NayNay - play cars with me? NayNay play blocks with me?" Nathan is very chuffed. We made snowballs yesterday and ASton had a lovely time helping - and of course eating them.
I have been saying to him when he gets all frustrated "don't yell at mummy, use your words aston." and it works...he takes a deep breath, and says' please mummy' or whatever he is trying to say.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow. xxx
V Can you just take Astons dummy? I think its cute the whole Santa giving idea....Chelsea doesnt understand Christmas all that much cos its not a celebrated thing in our house. So for us (all unplanned)....on Monday night i said find your dummy (5 mins before bed)or you go without.....bed time came, she hadnt found it so i said oh well no dummy for you, into bed. She got in, no fuss and went to sleep instantly. No dummy at FDC yesterday or last night, then again today.
So thats a success to me without even trying.....who would have thought it was that easy! She was good with her big bed like that too. We have even taken the bed rail off....7 weeks after it first went on!
ironically Kim - I cant find a dummy in the house! I think Santa must have already come and got them - either that or DH has chucked them all out. oh well, see what happens in about 15mins when he goes to bed.
we just got home from a xmas eve thingo and I spent the last 10 mins vomitting! I don't know ifit was something I ate or just bcos I bruushed my teeth.... bleurrrgh.... feeling better now....
Yuck Nelly!! When I was preggo I spent every Christmas party vomitting.... every single one!
Merry Christmas my beautiful women. I hope you all got something very special today and got to see some magic happen in the faces of your children.
Vicky - you rock lady!
I got spoiled... DH bought me a new wedding band as Jovie lost mine... we have no idea what happened but she lost the anniversary ring DH bought me for our 10 years, and my wedding band. So for Christmas he got me a new one as I was pretty distraught over it. AND a kitchenaide blender!! Red!! WOOT!
woohoo Christy! it will match my red kitchen aid artisian mixer - I love it!
Daggles was up last night with poos and spews so I know it wasn't my trifle bcos he didn't have any lol! All better today though and we had a lovely day. Got spoilt and amongst my pressie got a new sexy black teeny bikini - which I wore when we wen tto the beach for lunch and all afternoon. Very tired Fuller family!
Merry xmas girls and hope you are all great!
gotta tell you girls - just cooked the best breakfast - egg hand rolls w balsamic ham, tomatoes, mushrooms and fetta, and grilled apricots filled with sour cream and brown sugar mix, grilled with extra brown sugar and a fresh mango. yum!!!!!
*drool* Yum Nelly!!! You are going nuts lately :D
I worked another 11 hour day today... and am smashed now. I will be working tomorrow again. Its full on.
I know Christy - I have funny energy levels DH wishes it could be channelled into house work though!
Big hugs I hated working Boxing Day and they were always HUGE days and that was BEFORE I had a family. How are the girls coping with it? Has your mum arrived yet?
I think my energy is fading though (for another few weeks) we only had hot roast turkey rolls with gravy for dinner tonight! Not very healthy I know! :redface:
Nelly I am tired just reading your posts!!!!
Too tired to post much now lol DH on night shift, so better go to bed in case kids are up tonight.
Welcome Nat! Evie and Lennon are born on the same day!
I just drank 1.5L of water and ate a mango for dinner :)
hope everyone is well.

Well.. DH has had the girls for 4 days so far since Christmas while I've been at work and.... Jovie won't talk to me tonight :( She wants nothing to do with mummy.... I have one more day of work tomorrow and then I'm going to have to work hard to get her back.... :(

Christy :hug: I get that when I have a full on tw weekend with a Fri night out as well. Jake is Daddy's boy all the way.
It all came off Jols - I have the crayola washables and they wash off walls, floors, faces and I can personally reassure you if you ever need to know it also washes off little boys' penises!
Man I am a bit uncomfortable atm - my pelvic pain has had a surge. I haven't been exercising as much as I did w Jake's pg so I need to pull my finger out... not to mention the fact I polished off the rest of my shortbread today and a donut ... mmmmm no more baking for a while!
