The rain is bloody mental isn't it Michelle! We have blazing sunshine, then torrential downpour, with blazing sunshine minutes later Hope the kiddies were good for you today.

I like Micras! I learned to drive in one so that's probably why. Plus I have only owned girly cars. My first was a bright green Ford Ka called Kermit, I loved him! Especially as he was a birthday present from DH (who I had been with for 6 months lol) I have a Clio now.

Holly had 2 public tantrums today One was at Clarks, I'm sensing a shoe theme here...

Shoes are a trigger!

Maria had her first jam session tonight. Timo was playing guitar and she accompanied him on the xylophone it was so cute, she was watching him carefully and then it looked like she was trying to copy his tune.

Aww cute Maria!!

I learnt to drive in a KA, then got a Picanto but now have a beast of an Astra lol. The Micra is so plasticky!

Trying to grow a business on FB is tedious there's a photographer in this town who is DREADFUL, I mean you could do better with a camera phone... yet she's got tons of shoots booked!

 

[sapphire1]

Where is everyone??

Aww cute Maria!

Emmy, maybe do some half price introductory offers or something, or a free photo offer. Have you advertised on Netmums local board?

 

[Lettuce]

Yeah, I'm not a photo shoot kinda gal, but my cousin has just set up a business in Brussels, specialising in child photography. You can see her company on my Facebook. She's doing quite well and I think she did offers and stuff.

Michelle, I'm entirely blaming you on my addition to mummy lucky dips! tho I will be so grateful if I win...

How's Aberdeen suiting you sapphire?
We're child free today but are spending it cleaning out the flat, ready for painting, again!

 

[Natsku]

Feeling ill today We were going to go out somewhere nice like the Castle or something but I woke up feeling sick so I've been in bed most of the day so far and Timo has been entertaining Maria by reading her books with her and blowing soap bubbles.

 

[x Michelle x]

Aw Nats at least Timo sounds like he is good with Maria!
That site is so addictive lol!
Can you advertise at any local wedding or baby fairs? Or see if you can offer your service at school fetes etc?

 

[Emmy1987]

That dips page is lethal!!

Yeah gonna do a free shoot when I reach 50 fans and put up some packages. Need to get flyers done to advertise myself!

Hope you feel better soon Nats!

Omg just went to feed next doors dogs... her house is disgusting!!

emmy, my useless ex was a photographer and he did his flyers as photos, and printed off loads in Asda... might be cheaper and look nicer than paper? He had about 3, one price list, one with say wedding pics and one with family/kids pics... he bought see thru-ish little envelopes and put everything in there so it was a neat little package and looked really good.. don't know if it would be a lot of outlay..
envelopes were like this...https://blog.enthusem.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/P1010492.jpg

Nats, hope you feel better soon.

I wouldn't let anyone in my house if it was that bad! My place isn't the cleanest, but I always clean up if I know someone else will see it lol.

It's great being back here Lettuce, except fot the weather. I forgot that Aberdeen gets 4 seasons in one day. We get heatwave, torrential rain then heatwave again all in an afternoon! You never know whether to wear a bikini or wellies

 

[x Michelle x]

my house is such a mess all the time, but never really dirty iykwim?!

 

[x Michelle x]

Just wear both, at the same time

 

[Lettuce]

A bikini and wells, good option! ah it's what makes Scotland Scotland- the stupid weather!
We've been decorating all day, I'm covered in paint and I have someone coming to see the cats at 8:30!!! argh! But it's not dirty, just messy. I'd never leave my place a mess if I knew someone was going in!

DH is out tonight, so I have the remote!

 

[Natsku]

My place is messy but clean messy when Maria is around and when she's not then its usually very clean.

Had another nice time at the assault course, Maria loves it there And I love watching her play with Timo, they are getting on great

 

[Emmy1987]

This house is filthy, like sticky floors filthy! Here's a pic -

Michelle that's a fab idea! Don't suppose you remember where the envelopes are from? And when did H become 6 months old??!

 

[Natsku]

Fucking hell thats filthy!!!

 

[x Michelle x]

They were from a shop attached to the paper mill up here, I'll research for you tomoro! I know, I can't believe he 6 months either, it's flown by.
That house is rank! Who leaves their house like that knowing someone will come in to see that!!

 

[Emmy1987]

Awful isn't it?? There were dirty dishes in the BATH

 

[Lettuce]

thats miniginnnnnnng!
Yay for Timmo and Maria!

The girl was pretty nice, she's 21, an accountant. I'm scared about giving her my fur baby, but she adored him.

Sorry to pop in randomly... but if you ebay "glassine bag" or "glassine envelope" you get really nice ones like the one in the photo posted for not very much.. folded over and secured with a personalised sticker (moo.com are good for that) and they look so good
