Hubby at home today with our daughter, he just sent me a pic of her in the garden
Dont worry, I have some friends here holding stuff for me til I get the scan.

Lol.... I'm getting towards 40-ish and still having more babies!... heres a pic taken 2 days over when DS decided it was better to eat the bubbles rather than wash the car with them.

I did get Shreddo but didn't get round to trying anything with it yesterday so no Jam Roly Poly for tea like I thought! We ended up going to McD's for tea and then trying to shop for a television - didn't get one though. Yes, we live in Howick, about 4-5 mins drive from Botany which is nice and handy!

We had to buy a tv last week, we had borrowed a very old one from mother in law and it finally died last week, it was so black that you could barely see anything

Jam Roly Poly has to be with custard though doesnt it?! mmmmmm

We are 20 minutes drive from Botany.... we just go through Whitford and we're there.

I just sold a house in Deeping St James which is South Lincs.... 8 miles north of Peterborough... we have a town house in Yaxley which is tween the A1 and Peterborough. All our family live in or around Peterborough. Whereabouts were you?

Probably not.... hes an only child and over the last month has just started a phase of not sharing anything... and pushing and hitting children younger than himself. I keep on top of it but its difficult..... hes always been so easy going that Im going to have to drag the books out again to see how I deal with this. This morning at PlayGroup he had total meltdown because he couldnt have a choccy biscuit (for the mums)... I stuck to my guns and boy he had a meltdown!! Wheres Dr Phil or Tanya Byron when I need them?

Absolutely - I've really got a taste for it now and think I'm going to have to make it at the weekend.

We'll have to meet up sometime if you'd like - seeing as we are not far away from each other.

From a small town called Soham. (Actually I'm sure you've heard of it). Both hubby and I were born and brought up there and never moved away until now. I used to work in Ely for the Bishop and as Yaxley is in the Ely Diocese we had quite a lot of contact with people in Yaxley. Small world, eh?

I still miss my family but I have to say that Yaxley just cant compare to Beachlands.... we lived on the busy London Road and the traffic was a constant noise all day... here its lovely and peaceful and I can walk to the beach in less than 10 minutes. The sea is clear here not like the dingey water at Sunny Hunny or Skeggy. I miss my family bigtime but we feel safer here and feel its a nicer place to bring up our littlun and the ever growing "bump"... its just whats best for us at this stage in our lives.

I used to use Atora at home. Ta for your help. Sarah

I had such a good laugh when I first read this thread (sorry! ) In Canada suet is something that we hang outside in the winter months for the birds to eat.

I had never heard of it being used for baking before. Learn something every day!

Very cute!
Sarah that yellow bucket with the lip on it looks liek a proper UK horse water bucket. Have you noticed they feed and water their animals out of teh strangest things here (and in Oz) usually old Resene paint buckets.
