95 chair covers

 

[Sarahwoo]

Phew, well thats 50 done and 9 slipcloths (like table cloths). The other 45 (but I'll end up doing 50) can wait until tomorrow! I have a wedding on Saturday . . . the first of the season! I'm looking forward to it, plus it's paid me more that I'd earn in over a week full time in my old job so the ironing doesn't feel so bad I have a summer of ironing evenings ahead . . . hopefully I'll get quicker though

Maybe poor Owen, I hope he starts feeling better soon, and that you have a better night tonight The baba sounds fab!!

Emera Fab bargains!! And YAY for the Ergo!!! Bless your mum, thats sooooo kind! She sounds lovely I loved reading your post when you said you were feeling all inspired, its my one of my favourite feelings, I love feeling inspired!! I am intrigued about your business idea, and what ever it is I think you should go for it You are obviously a very talented person, I'm sure you would make a success of whatever you did Are you going to tell what your idea is or keep us guessing? Hmmmm, my guess is something to do with cooking, maybe cupcakes . . . hopefully delivered by post so I can order some

H&F I think you've done so well with your weight considering everything!! I hope you are feeling okay

I have my car back - and it works!!!!!! The bad news with that was naturally the bill of just over three hundred quid What is most annoying is that it turned out to be what we thought it was in the first place . . . Steve changed the part back in January and it didn't fix it so we presumed it wasn't that, as you would! But it must have been a faulty part because the garage changed it again and now its absolutely fine But we couldn't have known so its just one of those things, I'm not going to get stressed about it. On the plus side my car has had sooooo many tests done and everything else was fine so thats good

Phew, right well I have some emails to answer and things so I'd better go and do that before bed. Tomorrow I'm meeting a bride up at the Devonshire Arms near Bolton Abbey. mum and dad are coming up and I think we're going to go into Skipton for lunch, so it should be a lovely day! And then I have more ironing

 

[maybebaby3]

phew all that sounds really hard work sarah!

owen had a better night though he's still really itchy poor thing he keeps scratching! his temperature is a bit rasied at times but i'm keeping it at bay with calpol/nurofen rotation!

dylan had his assembly today. really cute it's the end of term today so he gets a week off now and as erin still has nursery next week it'll give me some more time with him on his own (and owen)

 

[hope&faith09]

Hey all -

I am so sorry about this but I just need to talk and cant talk to anyone. My dad went for an endoscopy or something today and this evening my mum has rung to say he has cancer and they havent caught it early I know he is going for more tests etc but I am so scared and upset what else can happen to my family at the moment. My mum kept saying the wedding will go ahead as planned ... but I dont want it to if he is going to be ill or not there. Sorry guys for this. x

 

[insomnimama]

Oh H&F... you have been through so much.

 

[maybebaby3]

h&f - huge hun! you've gone through so much recently i hope they can do something for your dad!

 

[emera35]

H&F - i don't know what to say, except you and your family don't deserve all this My thoughts to your dad, and wishing for the best possible outcome for this


Sarah - Its not cupcakes, sorry! I'll happily send you a cake though if you want!


Nice day here, playcentre and charity shop cruising, Roh shared a birthday cupcake with his little girly friend, much chocolatey mess was the result After we got them hyped on sugar we unleashed them in the playcentre to tire themselves out. Fun

Hmm, question... Roh has started drinking loads of water, and is refusing his morning bottle, but definately more than replacing it with water. I keep trying him with milk in his cup, but he just ignores it, then drinks like mad if i switch it for water He's still drinking 8oz of milk before bed, and eats yogurt, milk in his cereal, and lots of cheese. Think that i should press him to take more milk, or not worry too much?

 

[maybebaby3]

emera - i'd try not to worry. dylan went through a phase like that. i tried to disguise milk in all sorts of ways but he was having none of it. when i switched from formula to cows milk he started drinking a lot more and he drinks about 3 glasses a day now still!

sarah - hope you have finished and that your wedding goes well.

signing off for tonight now as have been sat on here for a while and ignoring danny well he can't complain too much as i made sweet and sour chicken for dinner and a strawberry crumble (although i cheated with the crumble top and used a packet mix from m&s but i stewed the strawberries myself ) gosh i'm rambling. better go to all xxx

 

[Sarahwoo]

H&F I'm so sorry, huge for you and your family

I have finished my ironing - just! My mum took 25 of the remaining 50 so I just had the last 25 to do plus 100 organza sashes My feet hurt Plus I realised that I missed a hem when I made the overlays so I had to get the sewing machine and everything out again which was really annoying!! BUT everything is done now so we're all set.

I had a meeting with a bride today which went well, it was up at Bolton Abbey in the Dales and we went for lunch in Skipton afterwards which was so nice! Oliver was fab all day While I was with my bride mum and dad walked around the grounds with Oliver and they saw a helicopter land - apparently Oliver thought it was great

Emera well I think you should do mail order cup cakes I wouldn't worry about the milk, he's getting lots of dairy still and water so I'm sure he's fine

Right, I'm off to bed! I'd love a shower but Oliver has been quite unsettled tonight and I just know if I get in the shower he'll wake up

xx

 

[muddles]

Just popping on quickly to give H&F a huge I'm so sorry to hear your awful news.

 

[A3my]

Hello! my internet is really playing up lately and this computer is too slow so i am struggling to get on BnB

H&F- I am so sorry to hear about your Dad I really hope they can so something

emera - Oooh I cant wait to hear what your idea is both my girls were rubbish at drinking milk past 9 months, they wouldnt even take milk in the evening. I decided not to stress over it and made sure they got calcium from other sources, I'm sure Roh will be fine

maybe - there's an old wives tale that each child in a family gets chicken pox worse than the last. poor little Owen

sarah - great news your car is fixed you're an ironing trojan

muddles - :wave:

well as for us, not much to say. Alex has been lovely, he's learnt to point and also has a new game that everything is a phone. he holds it to his ear and goes "a-da!"

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy hurry up and get your internet fixed, I miss youuuuu!!!!!!

How cute of Alex, bless him!!!! He's adorable!!

Well the wedding went well today, the room looked lovely when we were done I'm just putting some piccies on my business Facebook Page if anyone wants a nosy. I really need to buy Sat Nav though, I was soooo sure that I knew where I was going and then ended up completely lost after I came off the A1 two exits too late Luckily Dad was following in his car and he had his Sat Nav. Steve has it on his phone, I really need to buy one - add that to the long list of things I need to buy Although we got lost we were still in plenty of time and didn't have to rush, so it was all good, and the photographer was an old friend from my wedding planner days - I haven't seen him since I left though we so say Hello on Twitter now and then, and the odd e-mail, but it was lovely to see him.

Steve and I have decided to have a week in Cornwall (nr Padstow) in August. Steve has two weeks off but we're just going to have a week, and then a week at home. I'm really looking forward to it! I've been on holiday there since I was about 6, we used to go every year, I'm so excited to be taking Oliver

It's lovely to have a night off from ironing I've been catching up on lots of admin though so still working, and I've forgotten to have my tea So I'd better go and find something to eat really

 

[Mork]

[maybebaby3]

sarah - glad the wedding went well a week in corwall soudnds great! my friend lives in bodmin and she took me to padstow when i went to visit her. it's lovely there!!!

owen is 11 months old today!!! cant believe he'll be 1 in a month we're thinking of having his party at the beach. hopefully the weather'll be good!

today we're going to go up the coast in spain for a day out! i'm looking forward to it after being cooped up with owen for a week and i'm sure he'll enjoy it too!

 

[emera35]

Just popping on to say hi! Randomly really busy for some reason, and Roh's molars are definately making themselves felt, although no actual appearances yet, i know they take a while to come through. He keeps waking up upset and taking ages to settle after. Bit tired!

 

[Sarahwoo]

How is it half eleven and I only just go time to pop on here?!?!?! I'll post tomorrow instead, I'm sooo tired! Emera we are having the same with Oliver waking up all upset and taking absolutely ages to settle back down, I think he's got about four teeth looking like they might pop through soon.

xx

 

[maybebaby3]

morning! we had a nice day in marbella. it was sunny and there were even people swimming in the sea! though i dont think it was warm enough for that really!!! owen started blowing kisses yesterday! sooo cute! he's been doing slobbery ones on your cheek for a while but he just turned to danny and blew him a kiss and trundled off with his walker!

dylan has a party at mcdonalds later so my mum is coming round to stay with erin and owen. i need to go to town to get a pressie at some point this morning.

 

[modo]

:wave: I'm alive just trying to get a bunch of things before I start work next month Will try and get back on here later on today to catch up!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Morning ladies!

Maybe it sounds like you had a fun time! How is Owen doing with his Chicken Pox?

Modo Hey! :wave: I still have to post those nappies back to you - I promise I will do it this week!!

Well we had a good Sunday! I had to go back to the hotel to collect my covers etc, it was only a few miles from a really nice car boot sale so I took Steve's mum and we went there first for a wonder around. It was sooooo nice and sunny, it was lovely to get out and have a walk around in the lovely weather. I just bought a few things, all for Oliver I got him a brand new mini mode light weight waterproof jacket, its so lovely in navy blue and aqua stripes, its great for any summer showers! It was £2.00! I also got him a play tunnel which is still in the box for £2.00, a Little Tikes Tambourine for 50p, a Little Tikes maracca (sp) for 20p (which he won't put down ) and a Early Learning Centre crab for 50p, you press it down and it plays a little tune and scuttles sideways with its eyes moving about, we looked at them in ELC before but they were quite expensive! So we spent £5.20 and everything I bought it really like new, I gave them all a good clean anyway but I was really pleased! I think we'll have to start going every week now the weather is good

We have another new tooth - one of the top middle ones! I think the other one might be through too but Oliver won't let me look or touch so I think its a bit sore. So thats four or five teeth now! He's also started standing on his own a lot more in the last few days and is walking about holding his walker which is so cute! I took our other rug up last week (it was a super long pile, very cosy for winter) and put my normal rug back down, so its a lot easier for Oliver to walk on I think. It doesn't really go with the room now though but it cost me an arm and a leg from Laura Ashley so I'll have to live with it

Oh, and Oliver has also started combing his hair when he gets hold of his comb which is soooo cute!!! It seems like he's going through one of those big development stages again where he starts doing lots of new things all at the same time, I feel like I can't keep up

Right well I need to get motivated and get ready as I need to go to the bank and pay some cheques in. I hope everyone has a good day!

[Mork]

Hey all, hope you are all enjoying this sunny day!
I am sooooooo tired, my baby wont sleep at night she wakes every hour to hour and a half, the only way to soothe her is to breastfeed her. I am sure it is only a phase and will pass but I am just soooooooo tired and its starting to make me emotional (and I hate being emotional ) Rant over!
Maybe - hope the chicken pox arent too awful.
Modo - hi
Sarahwoo - great bargains -I may have to try a bootfair myself!!
Hi to everyone else xx
