Ally well done girl, we all told you, you were going to become famous!! Im so happy for you. Congratulations - what a start to your year. mmmm Breakfast sounds yummy

Mandy glad you all enjoyed DH birthday and had a lovely family day together

Lisha did you enjoy the U2 concert?

Simone what a sweet husband you have, my dh decided to give me a present in bed (if you catch my drift) lol at 5:00 am this morning, K only woke at 06:15, odd to be awake before him.

afm had a lovely weekend. Went to the new house for a while on Sat, as we have painters busy and dh worked in the garden. The rest of weekend just spent relaxing having nice family time. Simone i thought of Addy this weekend as now K is obsessed with Dora and is now also speaking spanish lol.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

Nel - glad Xen is feeling better

Zee sorry about the nausea

Our meet was lovely. SOOOOOO nice to meet Lisha - she is as you imagine, charming and sweet and friendly.. Unfortuantely although we did meet little Shrey - he slept most of our meet in his pram and when he woke up in a foreign noisy enviroment ( Monte's food court at the Spur) he was feeling out of sorts and wouldnt say hello - but he looked very cute as only sleeping children too!

Helen Oliver sat nicely next to his mom and hardly uttered a peep while he coloured and ate his food!! I might add that he was in UNDERPANTS and didnt make any oopsies!!

Cameron ran around at the Spur treating his balloon like a hammer and hitting it on everything. He jumped up and down and wasnt interested in his lunch, but he loved every second, calling Oliver, OVILER he had a ball and I was only too pleased when he collapsed with exsaustion on the way home in the car and slept for 2hrs..

gotta go, not allowed Moomie at the office and the gals are watching me!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

HI ladies.

I've read all the posts but my brain has just gone blank.

I actually can't even remember what I was going to tell you about my weekend lol

We went for lunch and a movie yesterday. It was really lovely. And this morning I made C and the kids heart-shaped flapjacks with bananas, cream and syrup. They really loved it.

I have so much to do this weekend. I HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE TO colour my hair and do something about these caterpillar's I call eyebrows. And then the girl that made my dress did a fab job except for the dress being skew. I think she worked the straps on skew so I need to take it back to her.

And I can finally tell you one of the very exciting things that will be happening soon. I have been approached my an American company who is starting an online magazine called Honest Cooking. They want me to be a weekly contributor and food writer for them. I'll be the only South African and it's going to be MASSIVE International exposure for me. I am so incredibly excited! They can't pay us just yet because they need to get the first few issues up and running before they can pull in sponsors but once they are making money, we'll be paid per article which could mean big bucks for me because it's all Dollars!! $$$$

The mag will be launching in March and I'll tell you when you can go have a look.

Nelria, I'm glad that Xen's bum is better. Nappy rash is HORRIBLE!!

Zee, sorry about the nausea! I remember all too well how debilitating it can be. I used to eat cream crackers before I got up and then lived off lemons, energade and bovril toast. Every now and then I could eat a tomato. No wonder I lost 12kgs in my first 3 months lol.

Nelria so glad the poo is better...so now the healing can begin! Fresh air as much as possible is also good!

hi ladies

ok had our 1st solid poo in days whoop whoop - i have switched to only rooibos and some boob and then i added maizena, this miracle cream and left rooibos teabags on the area over night as we still had poo's right through so relieved the rash was over quickly

the neck rash also cured over night due to miracle cream i ran out and its already starting back in patches so quickly had ir refilled tonight so armed with it again

other than that looking forward to seeing vix tomorrow

Mandy/lisha/Helen how was the meet?

Vix how was Pretoria? Did u sleep over?

Yoza when do we see the video of the princess walking?

Addison asleep since before 6pm!!

Hi ladies

Hope you are all doing well. Going okay here although the nausea still gets the better of me. The Asic is helping though but I'm still very sick in the mornings. I'm sotired of feeling sick and honestly, I don't have the time for feeling bad. I'm so busy at work, Z needs attention and I've got three assignments due, not to even talk about poor DH who must feel sick of his wife complaining and looking like crap. I just hope the 12 weeks go by quickly so that I can feel myself again. I know I'm short tempered with Z now and I just don't give her enough attention now. She's at my MIL's now so I had a good nap.

Sorry about my diatribe I know I'm carrying one as if I'm the first woman in the world to experience MS!


About Vday, we also don't make a big hoo ha about it, I bought DH something and this morning he and Ziani went out to get me something and she was so excited when they got back he had to give to me. So I got a book and my favourite nougat and chocolates.

Vix, they are at a difficult stage and I hope you can strengthen your bond with C. xxx DH also reprimands me when I'm too stern with Z, I think we actually expect too much from them at times, they are still little.

Enjoy the meet ladies!

Yoza, hope the test will bring some positive news, good luck!

Nelria, hope Xen is much better now. I swear by Maizena for taking out the burn.

Simone, sweet about Addy and the eggs! They are so cute now.

Okay, have to go and check on the food. DH had an amazed expression when he saw me cooking. Poor man.
