A succession of ill children :(
So I’m counting down to Ned and I feeling awful too 
That’s one of the problems with numerous children, once one is ill, they all come down with it.
I’ve had a bit of a book splurge and bought the Gruffalo board book with a Gruffalo toy (from good ole’ ebay), Knitting over the Edge, Hats, a Knitter’s Dozen (which has some rather funky hats in, as I’ve promised the boys I’ll make them something a bit ‘different’), Crocheted Hats (yes I know I can’t crochet - but I can learn!), Spiritual Tasks of the Homemaker which I may need to read a few times…… and the first two Harry Potter books.
In addition I ordered some books by Prudence Mapstone (her website is here). I really must have a go at this, I’ve been feeling a bit ’stuck in a rut’ of late, due to the extra weight I’m carrying around - although atleast I’m not still wearing maternity jeans, so there’s hope yet that I might be loosing steadily whilst breastfeeding rather than staying pretty much the same weight (which is what happened with Nin) and not being able to wear what I’d like to wear. I’ve always prefered to *stand out* a bit and need to inject a bit of colour into me again 
(and loosing weight will mean cheaper knitting as I won’t have to buy so much yarn! LOL 
Anyway, do visit Prudence’s website - I spent hours over the weekend following links etc. and learning loads!
Oh and I also treated myself to one of Sheffield’s finest, the Artic Monkey’s album - which is great - any album with a song on it called Mardy Bum is bound to make me smile! Anyway, if you liked the 2 singles they’ve released, you’ll love the album
Ned’s just started crying so I’m going to have to go.
(Slings'n'things)
OWW,
I love that you are calling him NED!
That is tops in our house for a possible boy middle name just now……….you seem to be doing well Nikki!

I hope you and Ned are still managing to avoid becoming poorly too.
We love the Gruffalo here too:-)
