Bubble and Squeak

December 27th, 2007

One of the best things I love about Christmas is the bubble and squeak you get for the next couple of days.

For me, bubble and squeak consists of mashing up all the leftovers from the Christmas roast, heating it all up and putting in on yummy warm toast made out of fresh bread.

Love it!

Bee Movie

December 27th, 2007

 

Well today we took Charley to see Bee Movie - it was a funny one, although with Charley around I have seen so many animations lately that the one-liners tend to be a little lost on me these days!

Tomorrow, the beach weather permitting. I love the holidays!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Just a quick blog post before hitting the sack after a long but lovely Christmas Day - hope everyone else’s was as happy as ours. :)

Well as you can see, we’ve added a Christmas theme just in time for the holidays - it’s available to everyone so why not change yours over and get in the holiday spirit!

How quickly you forget

December 18th, 2007

To be honest, I am hating being pregnant at the moment. Today I am feeling heavy, tired, emotional, swollen, just overall gross.

It’s funny though, even though you are told that this will all happen, and you’ve done it all before, it always comes as a surprise!

I’m just really looking forward to feeling better - surely it has to be sooner than later! And then you’ll all have to stop hearing me whinge! ...

I’m happy to report…

that my Xmas shopping is all done!

YAY!

BUSTING!

December 12th, 2007

Well today I got to see my baby - yes just one thank god!! - for the first time. But not before a bit of an ordeal!

With my first ultrasound with Charley, I apparently didn’t drink enough, and the sonographer was not happy about it. So this time around, I overcompensated a little. Bad move.

When I got there, I needed to go to the toilet so bad that walking was uncomfortable, so when they told ...

My dancing princess

December 10th, 2007

Well Charley had her first dance concert amid a very busy weekend on Saturday.

And she did the whole thing!

From start to finish she did all the steps, even finding herself a new spot in the line when she was kind of bumped out. I was SO proud of her I was balling my eyes out. :) And when it was finished she didn’t want to get off the stage. ...

Kids say the darndest things

December 7th, 2007

Yesterday Charley and I were waiting for dancing to start, when a rather large lady bent over in front of us.

So Charley felt it appropriate to say "she has a big bum" when I sshhed her she said it again. Upon being ssshhed again she whispered it "she has a big bum".

I don’t think the lady heard, but I told Charley that that wasn’t a very nice thing to say.

She replied ...

a flat tyre

December 5th, 2007

Sometimes it is the littlest things that are the most frustrating.

Today, after a successful shopping trip, I clipped a gutter in the mall carpark and got a flat tyre. Now this really should be no big deal, but my roadside assistance expired a month ago, and so I found myself calling the NRMA. And then my phone went flat.

Luckily for me I was still at the mall, so I went in and found a pay ...
