Heart disease runs in my family too, I blame the Scottish genes

I blame the sottish breakfasts...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARIA!! Hope you have a wonderful day Superbaby!

Well done you for getting her to stay asleep. Hope she rests well for you.

Lol at fabby and the baby squat. I always sing Jumping Beans to Jenny in the hope it'll help my bingo wings... And now I do Horsey Horsey with her sitting on my shin, works out the thighs.
I wonder why babies get scared of such specific things?! Surely everyone loves tesco men- they bring food!
Great Michelle, I'll bring some wine! It's only 2.5hours drive...

Happy birthday Maria! Awww big one! Hope you have a fab day

Back in the day I was very addicted to exercise!

Happy birthday Maria!

What time was she born nats?

 

[Natsku]

She was born at 20:46. This time last year I was going into full blown labour - in the middle of a meeting with a social worker

 

[blondey]

Happy birthday Maria!!! Do you have anything nice planned Nats?

I used to be addicted to exercise too. When I learnt to drive, I would often leave 6th form earlier to go down the gym!! I guess it's easier to fit in your life when you don't have a baby to look after!!

Did the flowers! I might do some more later as I have already broken a few and I'm sure I will break some more when sticking them on!! I even pushed the middle of them with a cotton bud to make the petals stick up a little bit....get me

Not up to much today. Got the hoover being picked up between the delivery slot of 9-7! Goijng to do some sorting out I think so less to tidy up for the party!!

 

[Natsku]

Not today, we're having her party saturday

Ooo go you making your icing flowers! I'm not even attempting anything so complicated

Ooh get you Blondey! I was too lazy to make a cake, and didn't want to buy one that Holly couldn't eat. My nan complained and said I should have got a cake for them

Nats! Was Maria early?

 

[Natsku]

Mean nan!

No, she was 9 days late

Happy Birthday Maria! How does it feel Nats?

Doo's had NINE ounces of milk in her morning bottle, fat piggy, clearly it's not enough as she's now trying to eat a book

 

[Natsku]

Greedy Doo

It feels a little bittersweet

awww happy birthday Maria
I know Blondey, all you home bakers put me to shame!!!!
T was up at 6 this morning, settled her til 6:45 then she was having no more of it!

 

[blondey]

I know what you mean Nats, I feel slightly sad about AM turning 1 at the weekend. I see squishy newborns and part of me misses that stage! But I'm glad we are waiting to have more as hopefully I'll appreciate it more when I do have another squishy newborn!!

Greedy Doo! AM was not greedy, I had to give her the morning bottle in 2 sittings. Doing half formula and half cows milk now. I bought some cartons as I refused to buy a new tub which will last nearly 3 weeks even without half and half!!

Well when I make the cake, I might not be putting anyone to shame, it could be a huge disaster!! I;ve cut loads of flowers out, but wondering how I should actually design them. I also don't know whether to stick a no 1 on it in icing and whether to fashion a ribbon and bow out of icing to put round the bottom. It's not even a big cake so I think it might look OTT. And that reminds me, need to pop to sainsburys to buy another cake tin, otherwise I'll have to cook the two bits separate!

 

[Emmy1987]

I think I'm gonna be in tears when it comes to Doo's first birthday

I can't wait to see this cake Blondey!

 

[fidget]

happy birthday maria!!!

i'm really excited about lucas's birthday. i'm doing cookie monster cupcakes with a cookie in each mouth and a big elmo head cake lol. i think. i have changed my mind fifty times already

i have to leave for work in 40 mins and i'm still in my pjs.... on the comp... doesn't look good!

 

[blondey]

I changed my mind about the cake loads! I was going to do cupcakes too. Grass like green butter icing and pink flowers, but I changed my mind as I have the assessment day the day before and also I read that grass icing is hard to do as it takes a while and the butter cream starts to melt in the bag! So I wimped out!!

 

[Fabby]

There's no way I could attempt bake, I can't even cook. I've been spoilt with a hubby who is a very good cook. Were having a full figure mickey mouse cake made for him its £85 but she is amazing and they are delicious! My sil is making mickey cupcakes and cookies aswell

 

[Lettuce]

Can't believe you're all talking about cake again!
Don't know what to do for jennifers. I think I might borrow my parents house and make it a tea party, pimms on the lawn... but dunno what cake suits? her birthday is fathers day this year. It'll be a Sunday.
Was always a nightmare weekend in our house, my mums birthday s the 16th June, their wedding anniversary is the 17th and fathers day is always around then too! last year was interesting... I was induced the day before my mums birthday so I ruined her day cos she was so worried (turns out she was right to! ) and Jen was born on their 36th wedding anniversary. Then fathers day was 2 days later. Lucky I had bought DHs presents in advance as I was still in hospital.
Next time I'm going to time it better.

Babies turning 1 is cool, I love having a toddler instead of a baby that doesn't do much except eat, sleep and shit Am not really a fan of the baby stage at all, thank god it doesn't last long

GODDAMIT STOP TALKING ABOUT CAKE!!!

 

[Emmy1987]
