My DS has suddenly gone Barney mad..... we only have the one episode to play but its driving me nuts as its on all the time. He cant talk very well yet and it comes out as Barbie..... we keep saying Barney to him but he shouts BARBIE at us..... lol.... trying to explain that Barbie is something entirely different.
I have a secret to tell anyway whilst I'm here..... I found out on monday that I'm pregnant.....how the hell did that happen!!!

Last weekend I was drinking beer and galloping round on the beach.... maybe I better behave myself a bit more now.
I thought I'd sneak that little post in and see if anybody noticed it.
Thanks for all the congrats too!!

Just wondering why is the same episode of Blues Clues on every day all week?
We dont have sky.... didnt think it was very good value for money and we dont watch much sports so didnt see the point.

Sky TV is definitely not worth it - if your in too sport get out and participate dont sit in front of the box. World cup should be enjoyed in the company of others. Find a friend who has Sky and bring the beer
