Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Ok, never mind. just read that the winners will be announced at the ceremony and I sure as hell am not going to go if I don't know that I've won. I wish they would tell the winners before so they know and can make provision for the ceremony!

Hi everyone

Pfairy, shame poor Mia, sounds as if she was such a trooper though! Hope the leg heals quickly …

Vix, I’m sure C is going to enjoy the zoo now. We were there when Z was younger so I also want to take her again. I think she will really enjoy it now. The Pta zoo is sooooo big.

Simone, you know what … Z slept through last night. Even though she was very miserable … before she went to bed. I couldn’t believe it this morning … Bliss! Good luck with the planning for nr 2! I’m very excited for you.

Julz, I totally agree about loving them more when they sleep better. I wrote her back into my will today.

Ally, I’m disappointed that I won’t be able to see you guys … But that weekend is going to be unbelievable busy for me – 30th in Pta the Sat evening and then a christening, etc. I just hope we can arrange another meet soon. I really miss seeing everyone.

Nelria, I actually saw that ball this weekend and I thought: ‘Where the heck does this ball come from??’ I will give it to Christi and sorry again … I should watch the little culprit carefully when we visit people!! Oh and I only received my bill for Z’s hearing tests last year. I also had to pay it then. I thought what a … liberty!

Ange, no, still no party ( I will just make some goodie bags for the kids at the day mother and maybe at Kindermusik as well. Dh said something about Spur, so will see.
How is your SIL doing?

Talking about bdays, have you guys thought of bday presents for the kids yet? Since Z simply ADORES the twins at the daymother, I thought that I should get her twin dolls with a twin stroller. She actually mimics their cry and shows me how big they are.  She is going to be a fabulous big sister one day.

Lisha, hope Shrey is better tonight and that you can actually enjoy the time with him tomorrow.

Shame, Yoza, just hope Buhle is also better. Awful to see the LO’s sick and I hope Siba’s nose is fine!

Christi, Iris eats more than you? Well, that will never happen in my house. I eat more than DH! Unfortunately  But yes, Leigh, Z also never eats the same. This evening she hardly ate, but other nights she eats well. Maybe my cooking is to blame … Wish we could move in with Ally.

Hi Nayeela, nice to hear from you again. Glad that you are enjoying the blog.

Hope you all have a good evening …

I have to add, that I don't even think I will be one of the winners. I just don't want to be caught completely off guard if I am.

Vix, I wanted to ask, do you still make clothes now? Or have you stopped? I might be a bit premature, but I think we might find out early next week who the winners are and next weekend is the ceremony in CT. I will definitely want something new to wear and if I can't find something, will you be able to make something? I completely understand if you say no, I certainly would. Just thought I'd ask coz there's no-one that I trust with sewing more than you! lol

Julz, I also like that. That's why for the blog awards I say, if you like my blog then vote.

Nayeela, it's only a pleasure. I'm really happy to share the things I've learnt coz I started with very mediocre photo's and I'm getting better everyday.

COngrats on being featured on Food24. It's great when that starts happening!

Nayeela pleasure and I like the way you ask for votes. If you like the pic please vote. I usually only vote for photos I do like. I hate being asked to vote and the photo isn't even great. x

Hey Ladies,

I am pleased to see all is well.

Just wanted to say thanks to Simone for updating with regards to K and for Nelria for asking She is a lot better now and thank god she has not gotten a lot of scarring and the scabs falling off were not painful

Julz - Thanks for voting for us in the shooshoos competition. Ladies if you like K's pic, please vote for her as well

Ally - Thanks for the tips regarding the photography. I love looking at your pics. They look like they could be straight out of a magazine

Vix - I hope your twins are growing nicely and staying well put until Christmas

So I have started blogging and I must say I am impressed with the response. Chef caro who I believe is a food editor at food24 emailed me today to say that she wanted to feature my cupcakes on the site. I got a mention at the bottom of food24.com in the "heard on food24" column. Not bad for a start!
I must just work on my pics now so they look better

Waves to everyone else!
