yes…i know its wednesday 🙂
1. My 3 year old daughter has caught on to the older kids saying things like 'you are the best baby/mummy/daddy in the world' but when she repeats it she missed out the word best and so this afternoon said to her baby sister. "You are the BABY in the whole world'
2. My youngest has a fascination with our house phone handset. Which for those of you who have ever tried to call us on our land line know how difficult it is to get hold of anyone. Even harder now when you have to try and imagine where a 16 month old may have chosen to stash it.
3.Lots of people on FB and twitter are commenting on the current series of One Born Every Minute. I just can't bring myself to watch it. I saw one episode that was filmed in the hospital where i work and was pretty alarmed at some of the antics of ladies in labour….that and maybe its just a bit too busmans holiday…
4. I was chatting to my son about the how to remember what months have 31 days in them and what days have 30 etc and we were chatting about February and the fact that it has 29 days this year instead of 28. He says 'yeah so there are 366 days this year instead of 365' and then i suddenly worked out why people doing the photo every day challenge this year are all tweeting #366 *duh*
5. Just wondering why a shop that charges a small fortune for its kid's shoes can't give its staff a few lessons in customer service. yes that would be Clarks. The Shoe Mafia… *blowsraspberry*
6. I met a lovely doctor's surgery receptionist yesterday. Yes i know those words don't usually exist in the same sentence but i rolled up for a health visitor appointment yesterday having dragged myself out of bed (night worked on monday) and arrived a bit bleary eyed and asked to be checked in. The receptionish said 'oh we seem to have this appointment booked in for next tueday?" I stare at her…blankly. She has a look of panic and then says 'ill see if she can see you' and rushes off. She couldn't but after i whined at her 'butihavejustworkedanightandhavehadnosleepandimgoingtostartcryinganyminute" she booked me a Dr's appointment. I walked out feeling completely justified that i had made a small scene and then i looked in my dairy and saw that i had my weekly insert thing on the wrong week. which was in fact next week….*oops* i think i might take her flowers 🙂
7. Some music…of course..
we listened to this album the other day and she has an AMAZING voice but OH MY GOODNESS..this is one bitter chick. Some guy must have clearly done a number on her as this whole album is about having a broken heart. Poor love. Well on the up side, whoever did it made her pretty wealthy 🙂
8. Speaking of music, my son has got a ipod docking station in his room and has taken to nicking my little ipod to listen to some tunes. Hoping he doesn't come across the PINK album i have on there. Thats one slightly twisted, sharp tongued musician he doesn't really need introducing to at the age of 9 methinks.
9. We need a bigger house PURELY for all the excess coats, hats, scarves, gloves etc that go with winter season. Clearly another very good reason why we need to move somewhere HOT. That and my children could walk about barefoot. See barefoot = no monster shoe mountain threatening your safe exit from the house
10. I mentioned on twitter how i could seriously do without the school run in my life. I got folk we know who live in America/Canada sending me messages saying 'we miss the socialising and the excerise' of walking to school and nattering at the gate. Yeah nice try…i still think the yellow bus system woudld be like gold in my life right now.
linking up with the ladies:

brilliant as always, feeling the ‘phone handset stealing’ pain too in this house 🙂 got to love a bit of hide and seek with things you need ey.
