Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

I need my bed too. Had a shocking night with Dylan. Shame poor little guy.

I emailed the paed now to find out what we must do if no pee.

ARA we love the barnyard in tokay. Far out but so worth it.

Thanks for the support ladies.

I just think Dylan needs his mommy.

Wow Lisha, I didn't know that was the rule with FIFA and the Budweiser, that is totally rubbish. I'm enjoying the WC and also enjoying all the upsets with the big teams lol, at least it makes a change and I think when it comes down to the crunch it'll be more or less the usual in the finals. The FIFA marketing rules etc are far too controlling for my liking, bit of a cheek really.

Nelria - Shame man, hope Xen recovers from his cold quick quick poor little mite. Yay on driving again, my car is supposed to be ready tomorrow, I am so excited to get it (and my freedom and independence) back And enoug about choclate brownies missy, I'm stuck at work and all I want is chocolate!

Lisha - Good luck for the plasters!

Julz - Hope Dylan's fever calms down and that its nothing serious, Oliver (touch wood) has never had a temp above 38 so I can only imagine what it must be like. And good luck with filling the bag, not an easy task.

Re wedding, we also had a small one 80 guests and the whole thing cost about R45 000. Everything that we could do ourselves we did, like the stationary etc I bought from wholesalers and made it myself and we were lucky that we had people in the right places so the flowers and cake were organised (and paid for yay!) by our bosses. I got my make up done at MAC in Sandton lol, I went for a trial and then they said as long I bought something MAC I can come on the day they'd do it for nothing so I just tipped the girl R200 or something and bought lipstick and eyeshadow lol. Was a bit embarrassing as I had to walk through Sandton City with my hair and make up all done but to be honest it was my wedding day so I didn't really care. My wedding dress was 'last season' (?!) so it was a bargain and reduced to R1800. We hired things where we could save RRR and all in it worked out well and was a beautiful day. We sadly didn't have a honeymoon as my family had all come over from the UK so I wanted to spend time with them, we'd agreed we'd go away for our first anniversary but by then I was 7months pregnant and didn't really want to venture to far away and didn't have the spare cash either getting all the stuff ready for baby. Then last year Oliver wasn't quite a year old and we had no one to leave him with and this year I'll be pregnant again so I think it'll be years before we have our honeymoon lol.

My mum has booked her plane ticket!!!!!!!!! Yay She;ll arrive on the 3rd November which means she'll be here for Oliver's birthday and (assuming all goes well) a good few weeks before baby comes She's looking to stay for 3-6months this time which is fab for me but I know it'll be a little bit harder for Theo as its not always easy for him to have MIL around all the time. He's very good though cos I know I would say no to his MIL coming to stay with us for 6 months LOL LOL LOL!!!

Oh, my word I am so tired, I don't know why I just want to go home now. I should really get some vitamins as I have no energy what so ever these days!

We are having the typical "very very end of the month" week in our house, so it will be improvising with what we have in the cupboards and freezer - not buying anything extra until payday!

So its spaghetti and mince for us tonight!

You all must njoy your evening!

JULZ hope Dylan has better night and gets well soon!!!

Nelria bum on Xen being sick - get better soon little one!!!

Hi mommies

Seems like you all had good father’s days.

Ally I made your brownies yesterday and it was really good, had your Short rib Bourguignon as well. I’ve made it before DH asked me the previous day what is for lunch and he requested it. This is really good and quiet easy to make. I love you’re site, always looks good.

Ally and Simone you both sound like my sister re nail polish. I am to rough and am constantly in the water. I love having long nails, but it must be natural.

Helen lol for the teething “toy”.

Vix hope you feeling better. Would have loved to see that girls face re: condoms.

Yoza glad you must enjoy the game. Hope you have a GOOD talk with DH.

Lisha glad you enjoyed the game.

Julz I hope it is nothing serious with Dylan. Shame I don’t like it when they are sick.

Angie, glad that you and CJ enjoyed the painting. I have never thought about doing some painting with my boy.

Mandy the zoo experience sounds so nice. Me and DH was talking about taking Ethan to the Jburg in September when we will be in Pretoria for a few days. I don’t know of any good place to view in CT. Maybe Julz can help me out here with some suggestions.

Pfairy Love you’re blog

Nicole I love your colour scheme. I don’t even want to talk about my wedding, we had a ball and people are still talking about it. We only had 90 guests so it was not to big – includes 10kids.

As for me: We had a good weekend, went to get Ethan some HG from game – used the same scam as Vix about have to buy 2 together - so I got 4. Saturday morning I made a full breakfast and announced that NO lunch will be served only to those that can’t do anything for them – E. DH just laughed …. We gave E a haircut on Saturday, he cried so much I wanted to stop but have of the hair was already off. He now looks like a “real naughty boy”.
Didn’t make hubby a card or anything, just gave a nice long kiss and tell him how much I care and he was happy. He said to me just a pity is Sunday and winter otherwise breakfast in Paternoster would have been nice. Cooked the morning Mulchai chicken – Nigella recipe -and then ally’s short rib.
Me and E went to visit my mom the afternoon. He loves being at her house, must be the open spaces. She has a big yard and house, our house is so small!!

Where is Lwasi ?

Ally forgot to say, THANK YOU , that will be very nice and really appericate it.

Nelria sorry to hear that both baba's are sick. You on the other hand are sounding very happy and well. So cute Re: lea telling people off, lol

So whats on everyones menu for supper? I am just buying some already made "vetkoek" and then I will make the mince to go with it...yummy

julz - sorry Dylan is not well, and we also used those pee bags last year and it didnt work! I promise its not so easy... let us know if dh manages!

Nelria - Venteze is to loosen a tight chest but as Julz always says, I would rather check with your paed before using anything new..

Vix, we actually cant find the tea, i keep looking where i go and so does she but she is using prune juice in the bottles at the moment til she does find it.. If i were the mom i so would have looked up the stokists but she hasnt done that !

I am waiting for an sms of my friends new baby. She was booking in for c-sec at 13h00 today.. any moment!
