My mobile phone that is! I put it down on top of a quilt and a towel and 30seconds later (yup, that long) it slid right off them and into a pint of lemonade, not touching the sides as it went. As it wasn't on the edge of the pile and didn't even hit the rim of the glass, i can only assume it felt over worked and under paid and wanted an easy out!! Pity i've lost some really cute pics now though- unless they're saved to my SIM... and we were just talking about a blue tooth adaptor to get the pics from the phones to the computer.
Sian appears to have lost all her "T's" from her speech over night *sigh* it's really frustrating me as I don't drop them that much. I know where she's got it from though so I fear I may have to limit how often her freind comes over until she starts speaking properly again.
Hehehe. There is *exactly* a 5lbs weight difference between the girls, it's always been about that but I think Beth may catch Sian up now LOL this time last year Sian was 24lbs 3oz and this year Beth is 23lbs 7oz! I think we may be turning Beth forward facing at 2 rather than 2.5/3 like Sian was.
We go away for two weeks saturday!! I can't wait to get down to Wales and into cleaner, fresher air. We're trying to think up some trips to take while we're there as well. Probably one to a fun fair (www.barrywales.co.uk/theisland.htm), one to Techniquest (http://www.techniquest.org.uk) and we're not sure where else apart from DVLA to hopefully get my licence... we'll see.
Some idiot took £216 instead of £150 out of our bank account (how on EARTH can you do that???) and we're waiting for it to be replaced by check today... hmm that ones done. i think we may go and ask for the cash tomorow now.
can't think of anything else for this post. I do need to do a homeschool one though and i can't remember the address or password!!!

Given the choice
between shopping in Bravissimo and at Top Drawer. I'll take Top Drawer *every* time. I was after a sport bra today so thought i'd try bravissimo- after all they're meant to cater to the alrger chested lady.
the service was so....... impersonal. and . i dunno. i jsut didn't like it at all. there was no OFFER of any help. and when i couldnt find my way roudn the store ther was no guidance. No, I didn't get a sports bra either lol. i did get another nursing one though. i'm just a boob to those girls!
after bravissimo, it was hammersmith for us. clive got some new tee shirts. i am SO going through our clothes next week and THROWING some out!! and the girls got new towels (one minnie and one mickey) and i got a pillow with classic mickey on it. so soft and cuddly.

OMG my little shrimpy baby got big!
All of a sudden the potty training issue clicked. We've had a few accidents but nowhere near as many as i thought we would. Sian's been in big girl knickers since sunday afternoon! I thought she'd NEVER train! Typicaly i just spent out money on training pants *sigh*
Rain brellas and bless you paper have been changed into their usual umbrella and tissue :o( i'll miss those sian-isms. they were so logical
this morning she woke me up by shouting at me she was dressed *sob* my big girl had got herself totally changed from her cloth nappy and PJs into te outfit we chose last night.
She's most defitnley a bigger big a big girl now.

Did I mention that....
I got all modern and bought me an MP3 player? in pink no less LOL. I'm hoping to be able to rescue my music from the pc onto it (and add more of course!)mind you, i'm not so sure when i'll get to listen to it as i've always got the kids with me.... when i'm online after they're in
Bed. tonight they didn't want to go to bed OR to sleep. i am now a VERY cranky mama. Beth finally fell asleep at around 8.30-9. Sian on the other hand didn't even get her butt back INTO bed till gone 11pm. Even more annoying was they'd both already fallen asleep in the car and were just being little brats. oh, and i'm jsut a pair of
Boobs. This week is world breast feeding week. If you haven't, sign the breast feeding manifesto @ http://www.breastfeedingmanifesto.org.uk I passionatley beleive that a nursing mama should be able to nurse her baby ANYWHERE. after all, you don't complain at a baby being bottle fed in public, do you?
I've decided to give up teaching trampolining. Actually, I'm considering giving it up altogether, but I'm not sure. At least it doesn't *cost* me anything! But back to the giving up teaching. I want to spend more time with my family. Saturday is the only day we can feasibly do anything as a family and trampolining rather cuts into that as it's 1-4 and the whold day is a rush. We're going to take the kids to swimming lessons in septemer instead we hope. I fimly beleive that swimming si a skill everyone should learn. even if it's only enough to get them out of trouble.
I desperatley ned to learn to drive. I have commitements all over the place now and one of them is helping my mother for 11.5hrs a week.... if i could drive to theirs and then back to surestart it would make life all round so much easier. guess i'm on the look out for cheap driving lessons then huh. the cheapest i've found is £28/hr. then i'll need childcare while i do the lesson...that's most likely going to set me back *anotehr* £24...darnit it's an expensive
Need. Just like the trainer pants i've invested in. I shelled out £25 yesterday on 2 pairs and £30 today on another 3. One of these kids better potty train! preferably the big one who's stretching my fuzzinbunz!!
I emailed me the pictures of our holidays now. I'll get them downloaded and shared as soon as possible. there are some really nice ones tehre, and some not so good ones too. I'm also looking into a bluetooth adaptor so i can blue tooth the pics from my phone onto here. i don't want to lose them if i get a new phone!

I guess I had to do it sometime....
the potty training entry that is!
Sian is so uninterested in anything in the way of potty training. She wants to wear "big girl knickers" but then proceeds to wee through them (one day she went through 8pairs in 90mins... with the potty in the garden with her) She doesn't like "despicable" nappies... and they cost a fortune, but our Fuzzi Bunz are just so cute (and she loves the different colours and prints!)
Beth on the other hand actually will *ask* to "wee wee" while pulling at her nether regions. It's actually safer to leave her nekkid than her sister. Today she used the potty 4 times. I'm so proud of my baby :o)
Last Weds in creche, Sian took herself off to the "too-let" without anyone knowing- well, till they saw the wet nappy! She managed to use teh loo twice that morning but then proceeded to stand *righ in front* of the potty chair she prmised me she'd use when i shelled out £15 for it and wee on the floor. At least Beth uses that though... oh, in fact, she's the one that christened it. All alone in a pull up, I went downstairs after taking something up to fine a lone nappy on the floor. Asked Sian who had the bare bum to be told it was beth (yup) and *then* discovered she'd christend the potty all on her own doing! Heehee, I was actually proud of my baby and her poo-ing ability!
Ok, lets get off the toilet talk! And onto the DH (ok, so it's not "dear" today) Working backwards then....
If you're giving the kids a *bedtime* bath, you don't shout and scream and threaten them. Nor do you apologise for above behaviour thus
"sorry i shouted at you, but you've got to start listening to me... ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME? STOP THAT!"
If I've *asked* them to be quiet, you don't then go and shout at them to be quiet, don't you think that rather defeats the purpose, oh and makes me madder and then want to shout at YOU, arsehole.
Don't SULK if i ask you to hlep. Or if I point out that you don't even OFFER to help. I just love being the one standing in the rain packing the car while you proceed to just get in it after getting Sian in.
"I was just goinig to do that" usally 30+mins ago isn't *just* going to do it. It's i'll do it when i'm ready. which is why i jsut washed up YOUR pan, you said YOU'd wash up on WEDNESDAY
and how come i get to deal with teh kids almost 24/7 while you moan about having them for a few hours once a week, while they're mainly asleep. how would you cope if i just upped and left you.
ok. rant over, but he'd better start pulling his weight (i'm going back to schoold day chores charts for him, he doesn't even hoover 1xweek) and grow up or i will be taking further action.... wonder how he'd feel if i went on strike..........

Aloha!
Wow. It's been a long time. And my computer gets worse and worse. Mind you, the problems have been happening since we got Virgin Media instead of Telewest... Hmmm. Now it likes to freeze up at random intervals and just switch off for no reason. Very annoying when you are mid chat with someone. And forget having AIM, Yahoo! and MSN running together. The other thing it lieks to do is lag behind what you're typing. So i can happily type a full sentence to go back and retype it due to my bad spelling *sigh* Clive says we'll try for a new PC in the summer. (apart from the "new" problems it has no CD rom drive, no sound, doesn't switch on and off properly and only has 2/6 USB ports working) Must be time to try and store my pics eleswhere or lose them.
So.. Next. As a female there are 2 areas that i don't skimp the cash on. The feet and .. yup, the boobage. My feet are happy at the moment with some crocs and some reebok pumps. Yesterday the girls got treated to a new nursing bra. What a difference there was going into a specialist lingerie shop and just going to mothercare! I am the proud owner of a 36H... as opposed to the 44DD i had on previously. What a difference! I feel supported... my boobage is in shock. Even better? I can get some cute bras from Bravissimo! now :o) well, if i ever get some spare cash. I do have one on order from the shop in Sunningdale as well (so that'll be 2 bras that aren't humungous plain white or black LOL)
While i was in the shop, Clive took the kids to the park. BETH went up a twirly slid and came down it on her belly- alone!it wasn't a toddler sized slide either. My baby has a daredevil streak in her. The girls also played in the sandpit and climbed and swung. Gettig n them OUT of the park was hard. I've hjd to promise they can go back witha picnic! Not that I midn, it's a nice park to jsut sit and wtach them in.
I have got some gorgeous "kodak moments" stored in my brain from the past few days.
Sian "reading" to Beth: Eric Carle The Very Hungry Caterpillar
"first he ated 4 marshmallows.. then he ated 5 strawberries"
Later that night i foud them asleep together in beth's ot. beth cuddling her bear and sian at the head of the cot cuddling the book!
there are more but it's taken almost 4hrs to type this . i'm pissed off now. please post!

beer.. or is it?
we went on the hunt for some vegetable crisps for a freind today. only to find she'd already got them that morning. While meandering around clive bought a beer that was made with malt as well as barley
anyone would think my kids are alkofrolics! sian stood by him *waiting* to "taste your beard daddy" and as soon as clive got back with it in a glass and asked who wanted to try some beth jumped off my lap faster than you've ever seen her unlatch!
after both the girls had tried it we asked them which they preffered... beer or boob. they both said boob, but sian was teh one to take me up on it lol. beth just ketp teasing daddy about his beer.
so, a beer with the smoothness of a single malt whiskey got the thumbs up in our house today, although not from me- i don't like either beer OR whiskey!!
Rugby, a hooligans game played by gentlemen
OGGY OGGY OGGY!

Mondays Musings
Little girls who don't fall asleep (and then not in bed) till 10.30pm are HORRIBLE LITTLE SNOTS the next day. Luckily a freind of mine had a starter bed that she isn't using. We'll pay her for it on payday. Theres no way that i'm fitting a cot bed and a single in the kids room. We're gonna need somwhere bigger methinks when they're both out of starter beds...... I'd rather NOT put them in bunks.
Sian on the subject of breaking her necklace (last night while she was *supposed* to be in bed and asleep)
Sian: I broked my necklace this morning granny
Granny: why did you do that?
Sian: because it was very breakable
Sian and Beth's idea of suitable warm weather foot wear.... as it's been unseasonably hot here this week. This morning they went out to play in the garden in .... Long sleeved Tshirts, Nappies and wellington boots!

home sweet home
ok, i know we've been back since friday. but holidays create a lot of laundry! and i'm still not done iwth it yet *sigh* i'll have to get ou tin the garden and hang teh current load when i've done this- girlies are both asleep still!
we had a lovely (if expensive!) break in wales. sian didn'twant to come home, in fact she cried as we left the camp lol. we all missed wendy though (one of last years teamstars) but it was nice to see gemma from the year before. she's working as bar staff this season.
this week we had an easter egg hunt (not a hard one!) round the chalet, a trip to the beach - that was windy! we didn't quite make it to the sea as the tide was out, a quick visit to the chocolate farm followed by bowling/soft play, a visit to dais dragons den, and a trip to folly farm where we went round the zoo (well ad ifferent part of it) and saw a show in the theatre. one of the goats tried to nibble sian's sandal and she got scared lol
its good to be back in my own bed. i woke up with neck/back ache EVERY day while we were there. and the bedroom had a dreadful condensation problem :o/ still can't wait for june to arrive!
ok, chores call while the kidlets are still snoozing sweetly.

Siân and Beth decided Bear (of Big Blue House fame) wanted to share their fruit shoots. So he did! I think he liked the apple flavour... well there were no complaints!
Beth in Siân's new Fisher Price Seat
Siân in her new Fisher Price Car seat. The seat is pretty much the same as the Britax Trio, Just with the Fisher Price name on it- it's been made by Britax (they also make the Jaguar car seats here in the UK)
Siân with her new dolly that "i can help walk in the garden" This doll is better endowed than a Barbie!! When Siân took her top off and saw the boobage she said "i'm going to have dolly milk now" and promptly did. Clive and I cracked up laughing!
Off Tomorrow YAY!!
The car is pretty much packed to bursting. The girls are asleep (finally in the case of the big one) I just need to put in the last few bits for the journey that I haven't tonight when we get up and we are on holiday!!
But of course that unwelcome witch had to come a visiting me. I guess better now at the begining than in the middle though.

Sian on the subject of tinned tomatoes....
"i don't like bematoes. they're too juicy"
And on trying to find a new dolly
"i want one iwth brown skin. no not that one, thank you"
(she got a 32" brown dolly that she can help walk up the garden path and a little 11" dolly in a rucksack)

Friday night fun
Well, it started out as a very *quiet* adult session. Just two out of our 10 or so regulars turned up at 7..... The mats were at tip AGAIN (I just LOOOOOVE having to climb up on to dusty bleachers and move 8+ crash mats, 20 floor mats, a sag bag and random peices of rubbish) So, The cupboard better be as tidy when we get back after Easter as I left it last night!
We had a group of Explorer Scouts for the night last night- well from 8-10pm. Trouble was, none of us could remember what time they were coming! I realised about 7.50 (after we'd got out ALL the trampolines *wheeze, puff, pant*) that they didn't come till 8 last time either as thats the time of their meeting! It's the second time they've come to have a jump, and not the last. Some of the scouts have potential as bouncers... others are just springs coiled up ready to leap! One of the boys even got brave after he had an accident last time and got on again- after watching for an hour, he'd only come to support the rest of the group! Hmmm.... I wonder if he made it to the airport this morning.
They'll be back in June for another bounce. Wonder if i'll laugh as much tehn as I have the last two times! It's alwasy good for the system to have a giggle :o)
Saturday....
...and i spent £31.50!!!! on clothes for the girls. Actually, Sian got 2 new skirts out of it. Beth got 3 tops, 2 pairs of trousers and an outfit. She is not allowed to need new clothes till she fits the ones I have in 18-24mos left over from Sian!!
We had a friend round to play in the garden this afternoon and then got Pizza for tea. The 3 girls always seem to eat when they are together. Maybe we should do it more often. I think we might go for a bowling trip next time, that could be interesting! Theres another week of holiday for the shcool their freind is at after we get back from wales so i think a couple more play dates will be in order.

I realised about 7.50 (after we'd got out ALL the trampolines *wheeze, puff, pant*) that they didn't come till 8 last time either as thats the time of their meeting! It's the second time they've come to have a jump, and not the last. Some of the scouts have potential as bouncers... others are just springs coiled up ready to leap! One of the boys even got brave after he had an accident last time and got on again- after watching for an hour, he'd only come to support the rest of the group! Hmmm.... I wonder if he made it to the airport this morning.
They'll be back in June for another bounce. Wonder if i'll laugh as much tehn as I have the last two times! It's alwasy good for the system to have a giggle :o)
Saturday....
...and i spent £31.50!!!! on clothes for the girls. Actually, Sian got 2 new skirts out of it. Beth got 3 tops, 2 pairs of trousers and an outfit. She is not allowed to need new clothes till she fits the ones I have in 18-24mos left over from Sian!!
We had a friend round to play in the garden this afternoon and then got Pizza for tea. The 3 girls always seem to eat when they are together. Maybe we should do it more often. I think we might go for a bowling trip next time, that could be interesting!

Sunny Fun in the Garden...
Learning to bowl and set the pins is hard work! Sian carried one over to me at the car... "oh my god" she said in one of those squeezed out voices "it's heavy"
Beth on the other hand likes to be a lion. She goes behind the tree and ROARS! So cute, so funny, so can't wait for summer to get here PERMANTLY!!!
Boo Hoo Hoo!!
my little baby got all growed up :o( she talked to me on the phone today. not just gurgles, we had a conversation (ok, so bethy can't say many words yet, but she has yes and no down pat!)
it's time to get her new clothes... i jstu made the pleasing discovery that she's too long for ALL her 9-12mos stuff! and a pillow. she defintly sleeps better with it. Guess where half our holiday spending money si going?! ah well, she's worth it, totally!
I went to see the gp and....
i got 3 weeks grace LOL. I go to see Janet in 3wks time to sort out a personal action plan.. we tried to do it today but didn't get too far. I'm not going to change any of the asthma meds at the moment (just finish teh pred. tomrow, but I got it to have indoors which is a big help as i've been able to start it myself) I do have my hayfever meds sorted out though so now i'm gonna feel like i'm rattling!!
We're all going on an Easter Holiday!!
Well, i'm going to give dad a break from caring for mum, but i don't get a break from caring for him LOL. we WILL have fun though and i will get my hair cut two visits we're defintley doing are the chocolate farm and folly farm. the rest we're going to wait and see. must rember to take the potty. both girls will possibly use it..........

that was quick!
We ordered Sian a car seat from http://www.kiddicare.com for my parents car yesterday. Interlink tried to deliver it today while we were out! And we're not in now till Monday. Shoot. I'm super impressed though, normal delivery is usually 4 working days, not next day!!
To the idiots who just stood and watched
If you see an UNACCOMPANIED 18 month old walk out of the building... do NOT just watch her walk towards the road. If it was your child, you'd want someone to stop them, yes? Well, next time I'll just leave it. The wall between me and said child meant I couldn't see her. And as I was dealing with her screaming sister at the time........
Apparently I'm a cow!!
G: Am I a cow?
B: Yeh
G: Do I give milk on demand?
B: Yeh
G: Are you a piggy?
B:
And the everlasting asthma....
So, I finish the pred in the morning. I have to go see my GP in the afternoon. Right now I'm on ...
Symbicort 200/6 2x day
Qvar 100 2x day
Singulair 1x day
Ventolin 2 puffs as needed (today was super, i only needed it twice!)
Just finishing Prednisone @ 30mg/day for 6days (all i had left of my supply, must get more)
I need to think what to ask her...
Do I need to extend the pred. for a bit longer (it seems to take longer to take an effect now) or increase the dose from 30mg to 40mg... or both.
What is a good peak flow for me now? I know my predicted is around 447... since Dec 06 I've been lukcy to hit 350. My best used to be 500... those days are gone!
I know to start the pred either when my PF drops below 280 or my sympoms get worse (i can stay at 350 for a while before the PF and sympotms match up again. it's a pain and probably why i try to avoid hospitals. they don't beleive i'm not panicking)
When should I seek further help?

And *breathe*
If I've just spent an hour getting the kids calmed down and ready for bed DON'T go and spoil it by picking a fight with the 3yo. Shouting and yelling at her are NOT going to bode well for me getting her to bed easily, or for me being able to read them a bed time story. You wanted kids just as much as me. TAKE SOME DAMNED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEM AND GET OFF YOUR BACKSIDE INSTEAD OF SLOBBING IN FRONT OF THE TELEVISION!!!! If she wants to parade naked for 3minutes *with* the potty close at hand, let her. she is NEVER going to potty train if you don't let her stay in the altogether. peeing in her nappy is so much easier. Yet if her little sister wants to go potty, and just get up and down from it in the nuddy, thats fine. Do you see the inconsistencies here yet clive?
They're both asleep now. It only took me 30minutes. They didn't get there mama milk though. I had to spend time just talking calmly and wiping tears. thank goodness for the CDplayer and a library of books. Yes, we will be adding to it. You can jsut learn to read as well. or make up storeis to go with teh pictures. they don't know any different yet.
Ugh.
I ended up starting the pred. last night. the amount of ventolin i've been getting through i guess a trip to A&E is probably where i should be headed. i said *should* hopefully we can get some answers on thursday when i see the GP. i've sure had enough of this ride.
less than 100 days
can't wait for all public places to go non-smoking. i had a hard time at bowling this morning cause of the smoke. the centre staff can't wait eitehr. funny how the people that think it's a bad move are the smokers, huh? clive rekcons he's going to give up over easter. i've heard it so many times that i don't beleive him any more. his motivation this time? "cancer sticks" are going up 11p a pack. bever mind the health benefits for the whole family or the fact that he smells and tastes like an ashtray at the moment.

Well i found out why wednesday after i took her to the drs. poor baby has a nasty ear infection :o( and a raging high temperature to go with it. no wonder she was a grouch! all she's wanted to do since tuesday night is nurse.
on another note. the cardigan made for her by my surrogate mum finally fits! she loves it and asks to wear it wether it matches her outfit or not LOL and as spring seems to have disappeared again...........! mind you she'll probably outgrow it in about 2mos the way she's going. so THANK YOU Granny Mary :o)
