Well, I know i’ve been a bit quiet on here this week, but i’m still here…… still waiting (useless full moon!).
Been very quiet as the weather has finally started to look up and so we have been making the most of it out in the garden! I am back inside searching the net for things [...]

Well…. That’s still a slight increase!!!
I’m due in 16 days and am fed up, was hoping today might be the day due to the myths about a full moon bringing on lots of babies! However after a bit of research it turns out there’s not that much truth in it really, not scientific anyway. Although there [...]

Today I received a lovely ‘wishlist’ package from Swapbot. A ‘birthing’ mix cd for when I have my baby in a few weeks time.
The Package is from Thratch (Rachel) and has some really good songs on, its all packed in my bag ready and I can’t wait to listen to it! Thank-you!

I’ve spent most of the weekend glued to ebay trying to get accessories sorted out for the Phil and Teds! Due to the previously mentioned used up baby budget I have been having a good clear out and put a load of stuff on ebay to sell so i’ve got funds to spend. So far [...]

Well, I’ve still not made a lot of progress on the chair cover for the kids room. Any ideas on the best was to make a cover for that shape chair (see post further down page) would be gratefully received!!

We’ve been thinking about it a lot more recently, (although its something we have had in mind since 12 days of being together) we’d love to move to Cornwall, specifically St Ives but I think that would be less realistic!
I always went there on holiday as a child (somethimes twice a year), and our first [...]

I’ve [...]

Well, the kids room budget has almost ran out and there isn’t enough for a nice chair (had one of those nice ‘nursing chairs’ in mind – you know the kind with a nice footstool as well?) Although I suppose there wasn’t really any room for one of those. anyway I have an old chair [...]
