Yep you would have, he regularly banged his head off the side of the areana theit hanging upside down from a bike

At least thats his excuse for being dippy at times.

shhhhhhhhhhhh he will get a even bigger head

To bring him down to earth, he is the oldest in th eteam, and some wernt even born when he joined the Army

Reckons standing on his head will kill him soon

Shoshe, what a cool hubs you have. Got to love a man in uniform.

QUESTION - if on the contract I have run out of room for all my 'Additional Notes', I can just type something up on an extra page can't I and they sign it? If so, what would you call that extra page? I've gone blank!

Mo DH is allegedly a Soldier in the Royal Signals, but for the last 14 years had been with the Royal Signals White Helmet MotorBike Display Team.

Each year about 12 of them go out to SA to do this charity do sponsored by Virgin Airways.

Its the 4th time he has gone!!!!

why wont they take wives [sob] I would paint walls I wouldn't mind honest!

Bugger better bring me jewellery back (usually does although one time bought me back really posh skin care range 'FOT THE OLDER WOMAN' he almost didn't live!

cant open link henni sorry

It has rained like a monsoon here all day!

And DH has just come in to say he is off to SA on Thursday everything paid for and last time Virgin sent them out there first class both ways.

I know they go out to do a charity thing (they do all the maintenance at a school for the disabled just outside Soweto)

But I hope he gets sick

Any advice on this thread? Most of you know the situation with this one, just didn't want to give full details on that thread after what happened with my parents!

Mo, good weather is on its way, we're having some sun now.

Having a playdate here this pm, thank god to break up the monotony. I completely agree about the p/ters. I have 2 full timers except for one day which is different and that is by far my favourite day. Same in same out is getting tedious

Have done 3 school/nursey runs so far today and got soaked on every one of them.

DMO

not raining here at the mo but it will be at 3pm boat idea sounds good

LMG - its grot being in debt even worst with tax bill looming hopefully your dh will get his pay rise in march

i sent my tax stuff off in may last year and got the bill in july so paid it then when i had lots of extra children for the summer hols maybe this could be a solution for you next year!

hello to all the expect mothers hope you are well

thankyou guys for your thoughts today hopefully chloe will be out this weekend they are keeping her in today and tonight

No kids! Really? We will have our 2 yo and the 9 mo mindee. Dh will have to rein in the children We just love the element of surprise and my daughter was a surprise so we have so much 0-6 mo neutral stuff that it actually is fine that we won't know. Frankly, I need to have SOMETHING to look forward to! ha

LMG - good luck, as I write this! It's always that way isn't it? We're in the same boat and everytime I think about getting a fulltime job out of the house I realise between my children I would be in debt for childcare! Just no winning for losing is there

dmo - posted on other thread xx

crace - bet you can't wait! We will be asking if boy or girl but depends if they can tell. I don't care at all what the sex is as long as he or she is healthy, just trying to be practical. I KNEW I was having a boy with ds, don't know how, just did. I feel the same again that I'm pretty sure I know and if my instinct is right again, we even have a name already! Anyway, we'll see. Good luck with yours and let us know how it goes As for taking mindees, I'm lucky mine is on a Tuesday and I no longer have to work that day (even though being paid double for it! ). I would have taken time off if had D.P. baby though as she's already been to 3 scans and an appointment at the hospital after my fall and she just cries the whole time I can't hold her and no way would I have that for this scan! Plus, they sent a leaflet saying no kids.

LMGs - as you know, got everything crossed for you, I really want this to work out for you as I know exactly what you mean about living out of overdraft and things always going wrong when something just starts going well. Good luck xxx
