So do you live in Brighton, because I used to live in Brighton... I KNOW!?! I used to live near The Level, next door to a pub called The London, not the big The London I hasten to add but a much smaller high class drinking establishment filled with Brighton's molls and geezers. Aaah, good times! I actually got thrown out of that house but I did meet one of the nicest friends I have ever lost touch with whilst living there... Lucy Kempin, do you know her? She had really long hair and was mad good on a sewing machine. If you know anyone in New Zealand, please feel free to ask me if we've ever met... the entire population here is about the same as South London's so the chances are pretty good!<br />Anyway, anyway, I'm off to read more of your funny stories, although I have just got to mention before I go... you have bee-ooo-tiful children!<br />TTFN jusx.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07945469522910940889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564454623039772845.post-45123537096664762822012-07-09T13:32:37.438-07:002012-07-09T13:32:37.438-07:00Gosh I remember potty training, you really should ...Gosh I remember potty training, you really should be able to have him running around starkers in the garden in July (with potties all around!), shame the weather is more like November!!<br />I can't believe I've been a Mum for 16 years and not done that lemon trick!<br />By the way I'm reading a Jojo Moyes book with my reading group this month, the last letter from your lover, I'm enjoying it so far.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805509603176943176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564454623039772845.post-71865233365876842052012-07-09T07:33:51.610-07:002012-07-09T07:33:51.610-07:00Oh my god, you make me laugh so much with your tal...Oh my god, you make me laugh so much with your tales!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971585947256591999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564454623039772845.post-65647979977815054842012-07-09T05:31:22.177-07:002012-07-09T05:31:22.177-07:00ANOTHER SIDE SPLITTING account of your days on the...ANOTHER SIDE SPLITTING account of your days on the promenade my dear.....oh that prince and his diapers and YOU, having to deal with the odor!!!

It is a pleasure to read your posts, they can't come quick enough :0) I don't envy you and the potty training, although my two were quite good and were 3 when I started them. The lemon sucking picture is genius, their faces says it all! I bought 'Suddenly' with your recommendation the other day and have to say it is gorgeous, I don't frequent Lidl that often so had to hunt for it ;0) xxJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02268922759296093118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564454623039772845.post-4595111247766085542012-07-08T08:40:02.691-07:002012-07-08T08:40:02.691-07:00Just wanted to say that there was nothing sinister...Just wanted to say that there was nothing sinister about the comment I deleted, I thought The Prince was looking at nappies, not paddling pools. As I finished typing my last one I noticed you had put on this photo of him and I spat tea on my keyboard and done a bit of snot down my nose when I saw him standing in a shop with his drawers on, gazing at the shelf and wearing a hat. I also thought (and this is wicked) 'she's making him wear that hat to cover up his hair...' How bad am I?<br />Give the poor luv a virtual cake from Greggs from me and tell him next time his mother gets happy with the scissors I'll come down and beat her off. (It really doesn't look that bad, he's flipping adorable.)<br />Hope you're having a spiffing Sunday!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770551694049478266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564454623039772845.post-4664423929465891022012-07-08T08:23:00.187-07:002012-07-08T08:23:00.187-07:00Eww with the tail Gem,the things us mums have to d...Eww with the tail Gem,the things us mums have to do...Good luck with the training,i dont envy you.<br />The Cherry tree shops look great and love that crochet blanket,did Annaboo buy it?

Oh well, let's hope some luckless Cowboy happens upon it instead.<br />And yes, next time (I'll check the calendar) we shall do luncheon too.<br />Will def be trying the lemon trick.

I did use pull ups though. and once she started pre school and saw all the other 3 yr olds using the loo's we didnt have any mess or soggy-ness ;0)<br /><br />love your pretty rose rings and how funky is that crochet blanket! <br /><br />xCountry Rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928461971291765354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564454623039772845.post-70425841911238176912012-07-08T02:03:13.840-07:002012-07-08T02:03:13.840-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770551694049478266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564454623039772845.post-83877181866953923372012-07-08T01:58:25.949-07:002012-07-08T01:58:25.949-07:00Mrs... what have you done to the boy's hair? D...Mrs... what have you done to the boy's hair? Don't get me wrong he's still scrumptious, but luv, it looks like you've done your best to make him look like the long lost blonde son off The Munsters. One of these days you can wheel these pictures out for his girlfriends. Oh how he'll laugh...especially when you combine that with Tales Of The Prince's Underpants. He'll be yours for life, potential suitors will be pointing and laughing and running away.<br />No wonder The Princess has boys falling in love with her left right and centre, she's flipping gorge. He's got it bad that kid hasn't he? Cheesy smile, holding on for dear life, what many a marriage is made of.<br />Feeling your pain about Greggs. My two teenage lovelies would live off the sausage rolls given the chance, (and Chinese takeaways and Maltesers) so every time we venture out together we are found loitering in there with The Tracksuits.<br />Next time you give the kids a lemon, put a bit of sellotape on the cat if you have one. Hours of fun, all your family members entertaining you at once and next to no pain involved apart from your aching sides.<br />Looks like you had a good day out. I can appreciate the work that went into the blanket but I think the maker may have had a spot of colour blindness so I'm not surprised you left it. No excuses for that casserole dish though. Roses and a lid, you should have caught onto that a bit sharpish. <br />Have a happy Sunday, I might go to church this morning to offer up a prayer that the Prince's hair grows back pronto. Tell him I still love him even though I might have to look at his picture and laugh now and then. <br />Laters, mrs.<br />xxx<br />PS You don't half make me laugh.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770551694049478266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564454623039772845.post-55012012346178994482012-07-08T00:24:46.666-07:002012-07-08T00:24:46.666-07:00I know exactly what you are going through regardin...I know exactly what you are going through regarding potty training. I'm 6 weeks into potty training with my two year old daughter. I've had her sitting in the middle of shops on her potty and the other day the side of the road. I think the worst is the pooing ,I hate it. I'm nearly<br />9 months pregnant and washing poo stained pants is no fun. Last week I found my daughter stood next to her potty with her pants down and a poo in her hands.......over the carpet, up her legs, over her clothes. I was just so glad my husband was home that day, i could of cried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564454623039772845.post-48648927213807354032012-07-07T23:58:45.355-07:002012-07-07T23:58:45.355-07:00Same thing keeps happening to me.
