You know what? Its the shortest day of the year today, so that means its all up, up, up til Spring from tomorrow!

Now then, what can I find you all in my bag? Ah, here we go, pressies,mulled wine & mince pies and crakers!

nice one looney shame you have to work on monday

fruitloop79 · 21/12/2007 17:03

Hi girlies,

I havnt been working today cos I'm in Marbella Arrived this morning. So nice to be able to relax at last!

LOONEYplayingachristmasTUNEy · 21/12/2007 16:52

Panic over.....I phoned midwife to ask for actual results of original test last Friday and turns out hospital paniced and gave me as standard and that there is NO sign my baby's blood had leaked into mine - think they said that to make sure I had the anti-d as some people object to it and they're right, I only had it done without more research because they insisted my baby was at risk Anyway, I'm not worried anymore

Pissed off though........finally got email back saying actually, yes, can you have the sisters on Monday and we'll collect at 1.30pm but please make sure they've had lunch blabla. Good job I emailed to ask then eh after being told I shouldn't be needed!

drinkmulledwineoften · 21/12/2007 16:43

poor you looney not get news to wait for all christmas

LOONEYplayingachristmasTUNEy · 21/12/2007 15:39

Just a quicky dmo.....phoned just after 3 and 2nd result not back (1st was this morning but it's not about baby, just full blood count). I've now been told by mears, midwife on MN, that it will probably show antibodies anyway because I've had anti-d now. Sooooo, I think I'll have to wait and question midwife after Christmas!

Afternoon all. Is everyone nearly done? I only had mindee til 11 afterall, because dad came home early, so I've done my shopping, although I've missed a bit, so I've got to go out again later! Not sure yet whether I'm going out for a drink or six with Kbear tonight, I can't find her! Still don't know whether DH is working nights tonight yet either, so its all a bit up in the air now. I really must buy my mum a christmas present though, forgot that too when I was out!

MightyMoosh · 21/12/2007 14:29

nick- im working xmas eve am then travelling to cornwall in the afternoon, so no chance for flowers- and diabetes mean no alchohol/chocs. I have just found a santa I got her ages ago, better than nowt.

Oh and shes working xmas day so my and sisters doing xmas dinner- if she leaves any for us, she'll do everything day before knowing her!

nannynick · 21/12/2007 14:06

Nope, they are relocating branches to the inside of shopping centres... and making as much in the branch as automated as possible.

Branch in a major town about 20 min drive away used to have 24-hour access via swipe card, but they withdrew that - and the hole in the wall won't accept payments in.

nannynick · 21/12/2007 14:03

Why buy more, if those are things she wanted. I'm sure she would rather you kept the money, than come to her in a few months time saying you were skint and want her to loan you money.

If you are visiting her over Xmas, perhaps get some flowers, bottle of alc, that sort of thing, as a thank you for xmas dinner.
