So my mobile has gone missing.  Last seen at the pub on Sunday, probably Nugget thought it was a snack and swallowed it ( Read more... )

Had a lovely half day with Nugget today.  Went to the park and swung him around in a huge bucket.  Went to the pet shop and ooh'd and aah'd at the cute little pets.  Love it that's he's too small to bug me to buy him one.  Covered up slight fear of rodents quite well with the rabbits and hamsters. Lost it a little bit with the chinchilla but it had ( Read more... )

Like emmzzi and wimble, it's time to get a new car.  The Shaguar is like driving a big dumb sofa and just isn't quite me. Not to mention getting laughed at by a security guard for being almost too tiny to see over steering wheel (crap world that only builds executive cars for big six foot guys not weeny little squits like me).  I'll tell him where ( Read more... )

I had exciting morning getting car off sheet ice.  I ventured out yesterday to get laptop from work, miraculously made it back in one piece but car wouldn't go up the final hill to get to our road on account of it being a ski slope (the hill that is, not the car).  So I left car "parked" at humorous angle half on pavement, half on road.  This ( Read more... )

I'm usually Little Miss Commitment when it comes to work.  Long days, unpaid days over Christmas, no grumbling.  But yesterday...habit of a lifetime come to nil...stricken by a streaming cold, I "worked from home" for hygiene reasons for sake of poor co-workers.  And did I work?  Some of it.  Then from about lunchtimeish I said scr** this and spent ( Read more... )

Nugget can say his first word!  He uses it quite a lot, for everything.  Sadly for me, that word is "dadda".  Sometimes, just for fun, it's "dadda doodoo".  I am very proud.  I'm sure just as soon as he can shape an M with his angelic little mouth, "dadda" will be off the radar...

Nugget is crawling!  OMG it's the cutest thing ever.  Tempt him with anything of interest (my toast, shiny car keys) and here he comes scrambling up, little legs and arms going like pistons, big manic grin, bum wiggling. I want to cover him in chocolate and eat him all up he's so brilliant.

Back at work today after horrid day yesterday when I got up in the morning, every joint in my body went "ping" and I couldn't quite walk properly so crawled back into bed post haste.  Let Precious Husband drop Nugget off at nursery which I felt bad about because poor Nugget had a hacking cough and really I would have liked to keep him home, only I ( Read more... )

Overheard at the weekend, someone commenting about me that "she still looks pregnant", with loyal friend replying that "it's hard to shift the baby weight".  Bl**dy hell.  Am I that elephant-like?  Has it skipped my notice that my friends have been reinforcing their sofas and bringing out their emergency hurricane food supplies prior to my visits ( Read more... )
