Well here we are the end of the first day of the week and mash my maracas with madras if it wasnt a chilly monday as always brrr Still on the good side at least I found out why my feet have been so cold the last few days its because the bottom is coming off my shoe! darn it I was hoping these trainers of mine would last a while longer but I looked at them this morning and noticed that the sole of my left shoe was coming away from the rest of the shoe
so I am gonna break out some new sneakers a rare treat for me really hehe just hope the new shoes are a little snugger and warmer.
Its a late posting tonight as I have been out with my mates for a curry it was back in Solihull so I had to travel over there and pick one of my mates up who had a crash a while ago and it seems hasnt got his car fixed so I didnt mind driving him we all met up for a indian curry and a catch up it was pretty nice as I havent seen most of them since before I went to the states so it was nice to catch up although it was a little chilly coming back in the dark wasnt much fun either
still it was clearer than it was this morning when I was taking Jen to work it was very foggy/misty (hmm arent they the same thing or is there a difference??) it was a bit scary once or twice going round the country roads to get to alcester in fact on the way back one of the junctions that I drive past had two people exchanging insurance details after what looked like a little bump.
My day was spent tidying round the house and searching for a mystery I got belle up this morning and she had her drink cup with her but since then we havent been able to find her drink at all we have looked high and low round the house it has driven me insane searching for it but alas there is no sign of the thing anywhere. I know she is a little big for sippy cups these days but she has a tendancy of throwing the cup down when she has had enough and that makes me wonder what she will be like with an ordinary cup hmmmm I have a feeling alot of spilt drinks are on the way. Mind you we are gonna be potty training little belle too so thats gonna make for an interesting few months I am sure but Jen and I promised ourselves that we arent buying anymore nappies so its time to start thinking about it now. Our little girl is growing up and I dont like it
I managed to wrap up some more of my xmas pressies today too I now have my aunts stuff wrapped up all that is left is little belles stuff now (which will take a while I am sure she makes out like a bandit!! ) and then we are all set I think we are pretty much set for xmas now we have our turkey, the tree and even the presents brought and wrapped all we need now is for the day to arrive and it isnt far away now is it?.
Well I think I better wrap this one up and head off to kip to get warmed up a bit as I am still cold from that ride back home more details about the curry tomorrow night. Hope you have a wonderful tuesday
Enjoy

it was quite nice but weird too

thats true I remember my old potty there was none of this fold up potties and musical ones then was there hehe
hmmm thats a good idea I have some of those pull up ones but after she starts potty training I might get some terry nappies just to push her in the right direction, I never thought of that some tena would be a good idea for belle when she is getting better at the potty training thanks for that
thats true she already likes picking out her clothes hehe
thanks for those tips

Glad ya had a nice evening out with ya mates hun..I hate driving at night..I drive really slow at night! And it was really foggy here this morning aswell..
My youngest ..Who is 9 still spills drinks..all the time! Maybe I should get her sippy cup
..Belle will get the hang of potty training in time..and I found that making it 'fun' worked wonders with mine..We even had a musical potty 
And will you stop telling me how far ahead you are of me in the christmas stakes!!

My god! You're early with your Xmas preparations! I don't even start till the first of December. For me half the fun is the frantic last minute dash to get everything done in time. I wouldn't feel it was really Christmas without it

I always try and get all mine done so I can hibernate during the busy season hehehe I hate the crush and rush of the last minute stuff

So you're the reason the shops are full of Christmas stuff from September onwards, so I cant find any of my regular stuff because there's no room left on the shelves to display it

Hi Rich
Glad you had a good time.
I found potty training joyful (not), in my days we didnt hae fold up potties so we had to carry them around with you, which isn't the easiest thing to hide plus we now have a lot of shopping centres etc.
What I started with though was putting the kids in terry's nappies, now I know that adds to washing but they then get wet and realise they don't like it. Having these super duper nappies is all very good but its hard for potty training.
Once they got used to that I used to put adult mini towels(tena is best these days) so any accidents wasn't a big deal.
The best thing I can recommend tho is being patient and relaxed, it really is very hard but it will be worth it.
I'm sure Belle will enjoy choosing her own knickers as it will make her feel grown up.
Hope that helps.
