Argh Pizza Hut sounds sooooooo good!!! Mmmm I have a pizza in the freezer, might have that later

L-C gorgeous pics!!! Will is super cute! Gosh our babies are looking so grown up now!

Steve is just out trying to dig my car out I think if he can get to the main road he should be able to get into work tonight. His car is well and truely snowed in, it looks like a big drift lol! But its rubbish in the snow anyway. I have snow chains for my car somewhere, I'm just not sure where they are!

[maybebaby3]

H&F: Well done with the weight loss you should be so proud Treat yourself to some pizza and don't worry about it!

Emera: Well done with the cloth nappies!

LG: How have you been doing?

Katie: Bobby is also in the "in-betweeny" size right now although some 9-12 are fitting him. With most the legs are too long though. Loving Daisy latest pic on Facebook. I hope Steve manages to get your car out!

Sarah: I hope your parents manage to make it to Bruges. DH and I went there for New Year 2009, its really beautiful. We though people were a bit mean to us there but hopefully they have a better experience.

LC: Will looks SO cute in those pics and your doggy is cute too!

Maybe: I am so sorry you hurt your back hon! That's the last thing you need

 

[L-C]

mmmmm to pizza, my OH is out and so I'm having fish and chips (oven, so not quite the same). He is off out on the night we both had tickets for, but Will refused a bottle so cinders is home with her gorgeous boy and secretly pleased!!

Maybe - I'm sorry about you back that really is the last thing you need! glad you are getting some help xx

Sarah hope you get your car out, I walked to a friends this afternoon and slipped on black ice on the way home, it's really freezing hard again.

I am planning a huge baby cook off, to stock up the freezer, tonight as OH is out. Tomorrow I'm off out for our works Christmas do, thankfully it's only a curry, I really can't bothered to go though - I'm used to staying in now and quite like it x

 

[maybebaby3]

lc - im sure you will enjoy it when you get there!

modo - harrods santa sounds lovely! we used to go to harrods every half term oct/nov time til we had the kids as we used to do a trip to london then and go and buy a bauble or two from there for the tree!

my back is bit better now but still cant lift owen. and i need to do my windows!!!

 

[emera35]

Aww, Maybe, sorry to here, about your back. Take it really easy you! Don't go leaping about trying to do your windows!!! Best thing you can do is stay mobile, and keep using your back, but GENTLY! Make your OH help you out hon!

 

[hope&faith09]

Hope everyone is having a lovely evening.

Maybe - Take it easy! Dont push yourself, your OH should do it instead now you dont have to do anything!

LC -I'm sure it will be lovely once your out ... I feel like that nowadays I really cant be bothered but always have a good time when I make the effort!

Amy is also in that inbetweeny stage but nearer 9 - 12 months most of her clothes are this size now and her 6 -9 stuff is too tight she seems to have grown out of it so quickly so I really hope this set last her a little longer!

 

[maybebaby3]

if i wait for OH to do the windows i wont put up the tree til next year i feel much better but intend to take it a bit easy for the next few days. my mum helped me bath the kids & OH took owen out the bath seat. owen's in bed with me now & am posting on my phone. feels naughty being in bed now with a bombsite outside. hopefully will be much better in morning so can tackle the mess!!!

owen is in 9-12 stuff mainly now. 6-9 is too short!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Maybe you really need to take it easy!! If the windows need doing so badly tell your OH to do them, if you keep trying to do things you'll end up worse and it will take so much longer to get better!!

Modo Harrods sounds lovely!! We were hoping to get down to London before Christmas (Steve's favourite gallery has a show on) but with this snow we haven't had chance so far and I can't see it happening now Bruge is lovely isn't it? My parents go every Christmas. We have also gone for the past two years but decided to give it a miss this year, maybe we will go next year when Oliver is a little older.

L-C I'm exactly the same! I'd rather be at home with my baby, even if he is in bed When we couldn't go to Lee Mack I have to say I wasn't that bothered, oops! I would have enjoyed it I know but I'm more than happy at home. Steve has been out playing poker and things a few times which I'm fine with, but I have no desire to go out. I am sure you will have a nice time when you get there though and if you are just going to a meal, so you don't have to stay out late

Well Steve managed to get my car dug out and started and everything, then when he set off for work a few hours later he got everything into the car, and then it wouldn't start!!! Argh!! And his car is soooo snowed in so we couldn't even use that one to jump start mine! Luckily Steve has one of those jump start pack things which only had a tiny bit of power in it but it was enough to get it going, so he has managed to get into work. Bless him I sent him with a big 'emergency pack' with spare clothes, water, food, sleeping bag, etc! He looked at my like I was bonkers but still took it, to keep me happy I think Still its going to be -8 in Leeds tonight, so I'd rather he had it just in case he gets stuck anywhere.

 

[maybebaby3]

i'm jealous of the snow!!!!!! my SIL is in leeds studying and went out to bella italia to eat last night even though was -12!!! us gibraltarians get excited about snow as we dont get any in gibraltar.

 

[Sarahwoo]

I'm suprised Bella Italia was even open Maybe, even the white rose centre closed at 3pm!! I think snow is one of those things that sounds great, looks great to start with, but it actually a pain in the ass lol! We have plenty of supplies etc but I'm getting bored. Its great for my bank balance though esp since my netbook is still on the blink, I've been using the laptop but it feels so alien! And big! I've been ironing, writing christmas cards, I'm thinking about wrapping some pressies next. But I'm getting cabin fever, I think we'll have to get out tomorrow even if just for a little walk.

 

[maybebaby3]

knowing my sil they prob didnt check whether it was open or not didnt speak to her after she said she was going so maybe she didnt get to go! hope u get out tomorrow!!!

 

[A3my]

Sarah - wow you have loads of snow! Ours is getting there - its a couple of inches short of my welly tops. Thats good Steve managed to get to work and I think he's a lucky man to have such a thoughtful wife!

LC - gorgeous pics of Will and Bono! I really cant be bothered with going out - I dont mind lunches etc where I can take Alex but I'm not fussed about evenings out

H&F - yummy, hope you enjoyed the pizza!

emera - fab job with the nappies!

maybe - I'm so sorry to hear you've hurt your back. do take it easy xx

Well the girls school was closed today and Kerry couldnt get to work so we were all snowed in. The girls made our christmas cake and made some christmas pictures and DH played his new xbox game we did manage to get out for a quick walk, we just went down the road and into the fields and had a snowball fight Alex is still fine in his 6-9 month stuff, although like you said LC, its all getting a bit food stained

 

[maybebaby3]

OMG am watching a program on discovery h&h about a woman paralysed & preg with twins. turns out she was in an accident where she was left paralysed & her 4 month son died. tears were streaming down my face listening to her. i dont care if owen keeps me up all night as long as he's safe!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Awww Maybe that's so sad! I hate seeing anything like that. I was reading the other day about the little two month old who died in a car crash near birmingham and I got so upset, and again today about the poor little boy who was killed by his mothers boyfriend. Things like that always made me sad of course, but gosh its so diffeent now I'm a mummy.

Amy it sounds like you had a fun day! I really feel for you been on bottled gas btw, sooooo expensive!! Oliver fits his 6-9 stuff nicely too. I have a few stains but I have taken to adding napisan to every wash which seems to help, and vanish every now and then too. Steve is terrible for feeding him without a bib!

 

[muddles]

Awww LC your pics are gorgeous!

Wow some of you have so much snow. We have only a tiny bit, not very much at all and I hope it stays that way as it's my birthday tomorrow and we are hoping to go out for the day, where we go depends on how cold it is! We are going for a meal on Saturday though-poor, poor waitress/waiter that has to deal with 12 adults, 2 kids and 5 babies!!!!

Oliver is doing well with the BLW, he loves satsumas and gets so excited as soon as he sees them-so much so that i had to open the bag in Tescos and let him eat a few segments on the way round. He sucks most of the inside out then discards the rest. He also loves those Organix snacks and so far he likes the carrot ones that look like wotsits and the sweetcorn ones that look like onion rings and he bit the head off an Organix gingerbread man and ate it earlier too! He is mainly on booby milk though. His sleeping is a bit dodgy and he sleeps 7pm-8am but wakes up 2 times most nights and sometimes he wakes 3 times-each time he wants milk then goes back to sleep.

Hope everyone is well.

Edited to add Sarah we have these bibs https://www.johnlewis.com/230874200/Product.aspx and some cheap ones with long sleeves from Asda too. They wash well and protect clothes.

 

[A3my]

sarah - I'm not very good at bib remembering

maybe - I cant bear stuff like that either - I just saw on the news about a man who abused his son and recorded it on his mobile! He then murdered him, made me feel sick. good to know paedo's get their commupance in prison

DH is playing his new xbox game again. I'm trying to work out what to get him for christmas...he's so difficult!

 

[A3my]

Hi muddles! lovely to hear Oliver is enjoying BLW so much. Alex is the same with satsumas Happy Birthday for tomorrow hope you have a lovely day xx

 

[maybebaby3]

happy birthday muddles have a wonderful day & enjoy your meal tomorrow!
