Bob the Builder

Is coming to Chorley on Thursday 18th February!



We are going to see what it is like, if it's awful we'll go home via the park. No idea how these things are done . I imagine it could be very busy as it is half term but I think Bob is more for Pre-schoolers than school children. You never know.


There's more info on the market walk website.

Best laid plans....

I've got itchy feet to do something, something big but I can't decide what. I am very good at wanting but not very good at going about getting it!

Ideas so far:

Buying rural ruin in Scotland and doing it up to become fab holiday house (have been scanning property pages up there despite having no cash!)

Starting a website selling baby/child related items

Get a pet rabbit or some chickens or a cat

Have huge urge to go on holiday to somewhere lovely and warm (despite going to Centre parcs next week!)

Teaching myself to play a new musical instrument and buying one!

Having another baby...

Some of the above can't be achieved due to lack of capital unless we consider re mortgaging the house! Others have been tried but darn hormones seem to be getting in the way and preventing things from happening. Grrr

Valentines Day

We haven't really bothered with the above. A few years ago we resorted to just cards, we didn't need to pay over the odds for an expensive meal or get each other silly gifts.

This year Hubby stated he needed to go to the card shop on Sunday. Doesn't take a genius to work out why as there are no family birthdays currently and if there was it would be me sending a card from the box I have at home.

Last night he let it slip that there would be a delivery coming for him soon, and I wasn't t oo look at it. I thought this might be a gift for valentines and I am very excited!!

Until I logged onto the laptop today and he'd left his email open - I saw the "you won this item" email in the summary window below and it's spoilt the surprise - the description of the item was far too obvious and I DON'T LIKE IT!! Not at all what I want and I certainly havn't been giving him hints in this direction at all!!

I shouldn't have looked but I couldn't help seeing it - ahhhh what do I do on valentines day? I wish he'd just done the card and flowers/chocolates!!

Mispronounced Mondays

Little man's speech is rather startling good now. If he doesn't know the word he will make something up and he will copy new words he hears if he likes them.

However as many other toddlers will be doing he can't say certain sounds and therefore certain words often cause amusement. There are many more than the ones below just thought of blogging about a few of todays sentences.

Todays highlights:

"mummy, me pay (play) with me (my) cock (clock) pease (please)" LOL but had to smile nicely and say yes!

Wii, Wii, mummy - meaning Fifi from the Flowertots.

The above two are very amusing now we are fully toilet trained during the day! (Woohoo!) He even asked to go for a wee wee in the middle of tescos today and on a steam train ride in Preston yesterday.

The best one had to be at bedtime - I lub you Mummy! Ahh Nearly made me cry, I don't think translation is needed here.
