Today - about to hang out the washing, go for a walk with DD, MIL is coming around for lunch (toasted sandwiches, very exotic) and that is all I have planned.
I think DH wants to see how much childcare costs and the mortgage when we have to refinance when the fixed period ends. He also hates paying people to do things he can do (no good though if he doesn't do them). Also saving up for a new car. He has Scottish heritage......
Noni, a saveloy is the red sausage thing you would find in an american hotdog (one with bun). Cheerios are the mini version of them. You must call them something wrong down south, because obviously NZ and QLD have it right LOL
JaZaH, Yayyy for you little nephew!! How exciting! I bet she is very relieved to see him happy and healthy in there (am I right in thinking she lost her first baby?)
cheerios?? i have never heard them called that either. we call them ****tail frankfurts around here...
jaz- congrats on nephew i think she should call him.......Lewis!
noni- keep your eye out for the spotlight fathers day catalogue. asha eats so much food i can't believe it! it's great...i can't get lewis to eat half that much. what kind of new car are you going to get?
cally- my dp refuses to pay people to do things you can do yourself either.he won't even let me get my car serviced. he has to do it.
Hello to Cindy!!! Great to see you pop back in hun.
Sooo many posts again!
Noni, you might know them as ****tail frankfurts. We just call them little hotdogs here. I always wondered about the 'little boys' name because it's not like we call frankfurts 'big boys' LMAO!
I'm not meant to be here at home today - Paige's preschool day so I was going to be out shopping etc after I dropped her off, but just before we walked out the door to leave this morning the School phoned to let me know that Lindsay had thrown up and was in sick bay. So I had to drop Paige off, do a few quick jobs that had to be done and went and picked him up. he seems to be fine though touch wood. he wont miss much at school anyway - last day of term so they were only cleaning out their desks etc. I made him come to the supermarket with me though LOL - he seemed pretty OK to me by then and I really didn't want to have to do it in the Friday afternoon rush.
I think we might have another word here too - whenever Alister claps his hands, he has started saying 'bap bap' so I'm thinking he's trying to say 'clap-clap' because when he does something clever, I clap hands and say 'yay, clap clap' and he claps his hands LOL.
Cally - See you are lucky that your DH will say something to his mum. My DP wont say anything to his mum & it is left up to me. Then I look like an ungrateful meanie. Sometimes I wonder if my MIL buys so much for Maddie so that I cant ever say anything without feeling guilty....lol now I'm just being paranoid right?! I've also had the icecream question from my MIL, I dont get it. My DP has bad eating habits too, he is so fussy and wont touch fruit. MIL has admitted that she didnt try him on many things when he was young. Luckily he is naturally slim but my MIL....lets just say I dont want Maddie to pick up her habits and end up her size! Luckily my own mum is the total opposite, she loves spending time with Maddie but she always asks me first and doesnt pretend like she knows Maddie better than I do because she's had babies, I'm sure you've experienced that one before lol.
Katie - Hello, Logan sounds like he is getting very active these days!
Jazmum - Yep she loves yoghurt so I'll keep topping her up on it. Thanks for the advice re the MIL! Sorry to hear about your sisters mc last year, I cant imagine ever going through that. So glad its all working out for her now. Also re the inner health, is that ok to give them, isnt it for ages 2+? I dont know I'm sure you know more about it than me being a mum of 3!
Clare - Where are your parents, are they in the same state?
I've got Maddie tucked up in bed again in the hope that she will have a little nap before we go out tonight...so far she's talking to herself & it doesnt sound like she's gonna sleep!
Hayley, if you want to boost her gut flora via yoghurt, it has to be one that contains live cultures in it - like Vaalia or yakult. Any other yoghurt isn't worth a squirt for something like that - still good for you but they don't have live culture. I brought for Alister today some Brauer's Recovery tonic which should work the same as a probiotic. I also brought some probiotics for the older kids and a big tub of vaalia yoghurt LOL - I am so over all the lurgies in this house.
With MIL's I struck gold with mine - it's my own mum that I don't trust. She is an insulin dependent diabetic and can't even look after her own dietary needs properly let alone the kids. Although she has tried to give Alister stuff like chocolate earlier in the piece, I have told her she can't because of his eczema and she doesn't do it now - bit of a porkie but it worked LOL.
Clare, we aren't doing anything over the holidays - am looking forward to be blissfully casual for two weeks LOL. The only thing we have 'booked in' is on the last friday of the holidays, the older two are going to a craft thing at the Library doing decoupage.
I forgot to say earlier too, our library is starting a program called Baby Bounce - like a story time session for babies 12mths and under where you sing rhymes and read stories to them etc. You get a board book for them too and the Librarian said she is going to make up a folder with all the things we do at the sessions in it and you get a new one to add to it each week - sounds really good and it will fit in perfectly with Paige being at preschool on that day.
