Emmy's weebles are taking over mermaid's greenhouse!

WTF is a halk???? , I meant Hawk

A quick one from me,

barbie very of your bbq and perfect weather, just you wait til you get over here

I spoke too soon re the Christmas tree, Ajay pulled it over last night, he managed to smash a couple of baubles, I will just have to watch him like a halk!

We had a fab night last night, gotta say the Scots really know how to party. There were a few men in kilts and plenty of Scottish dancing, my tail feathers got well and truley shook, it was ace

Ajay is asleep and Cjay is snuggled up next to me so I'm going to make the most of it , laters xx

Dont want to make you all but we are just setting up for our last bbq of 2010....perfect weather

Tried to pack last night, our bags weigh a ton...winter clothes are so heavy!

Hope you are all good, speak soon x

Oh and vjay we are not taking the laptop (dh rules) but i will be on line at my mums, so i wont disappear

Helloooooo thought I'd pop in again and try and boost the post numbers

barbie I've not started House Rules yet, but I will once I've finished The Red Queen , and I'm sure I won't be dissapointed. Your appartment looks well lush, you'll have such a nice time, and will you be able to mumsnet, that's the important question?????

4ever S will be head over heels with the tree next year So far so good here, Ajay hasn't been near the tree all day, maybe DH was right, clever PJay

Right need to go it's dh's works Christmas party tonight so need to get ready, but first I need to bath the boys, etc.....

Well hello ladies

I agree much too quiet in here of late... i blame the snow and the mincemeat making, nobody has the extra time to waste here type much, but im sure in the new year we will be back to our busy best....

I went christmas shopping today for the first time and bought.......

Nowt!

I have got a good idea what to get, just means picking the right mall which has it all in and going for broke on monday with Dolly.

blue thought i could smell much be your spray tan, hope you have a faboosh time and dont freeze your (.)(.)'s off in your sexy bust top!

vjay i thought a kindle would be something made from wood not a very 2010 technological word for such a thing is it But i must admit is does look very very cool...Have you started the 'house rules' book yet? hope you are disappointed in it since i was the one to recommend

cupcake and 4ever thanks for the advice re dressing the small one....i shall ditch the burberry tights with the uggs , i did buy a big bobble hat for her today...so she can match her cyber cousins!

We are staying here when we go home, very cool apartment right on the water...few mins away from the city centre and 10 mins away from both set of parents. As for christmas day, we will be just the three of us in the morning, going to my parents for the main part of day as we spent last chrimbo with dh folks here if you remember. My num has gone mad, she loves the whole grandma thing while dh mum isn't so in to it all... . In the afternoon we will go to the inlwas for an hour before returning to the apartment for our time together.

mermaid sweetie are you ok, i guess this christmas is going to be tough i do hope you are well and keeping your spirits up. I hope you like how we have dressed your greenhouse

monkey another one who is facing a tough christmas no doubt...hope C brings out all the smiles for you, is he better now? Loved the pics of him in his snow suit, very very cute.

neeko hope the little madame is better..how is the sleeping?

mls and Miss Kitty, how is she? is the cranial working? Im trying to get an appointment when we are back home...\

jools poor you, how are you feeling. You work too hard. I really hope you have a suitable amount of time off over the festive period and you indulge accordingly

Jeeze my time is up...to much to say and not enough time as always. Much love to all the other Weebles...will catch up with the ones i have missed tomorrow.

Love to you all xxx

ps 4ever i used to work in bentalls i bet you passed through while i was there sometime...

Had to pop into to say a big christmasy hello to lovely Blue Vjj Cupcake and Barbie!

Agree how quiet it is, tho must confess to lurking lots and not posting as often!

Blue enjoy your night out you sexy thang in your bustier! I also watched and cried at corrie last night, had to watch, though like you and Vjj i hadnt watched in years!

Vjj we did our tree last week and S is suitably unimpressed, as she was yesterday when i did my mums! Im sure next year will be a different story! Afraid iv no suggestions to stop Ajay climbing/wrecking/dismantling your tree but will be avidly awaiting any tips to keep for next year!

Barbie ooh your in for a shock to the system after all that lovely heat! Def go for lots of layers, i put S in long sleeve vests and babygro indoors, when out a jumper dress or top with cardi and jacket, tights and leggings, with baby not really uggs and hat, if we are outside for long then her snowsuit! Are you at your mums or dh for christmas day?

Cupcake hows J doing now? Better i hope? Bless your masterchef dh! Enjoy the cinema tonight!

Mermaid where are you? Ok i hope?

Bq and Lou nearly officially 2nd trimester ladies, what i huge milestone, hope you can both relax a little now..

Big waves to all, must dash, taking S to see Santa at Bentalls in Kingston today was gonna be all posh and do Harrods but it was ticket only, Bentalls better though as was also first place i met the big red and white hairy one as a weeny young girl!

Oh and have a fab night out

Hi blue , I have put toys on the floor beneath the table that the tree is on, and moved the pouff (sp?) out of the room to give him more space and he's not gone near the tree since, so hopefully that's it

So sad that I's nativity got cancelled, such a shame.

I watched Corrie too this week and I'm another one who doesn't normally, and my dh was a bit at me watching too

Please keep me posted on the weather down there, we are meant to be there 18th/19th, so we'll see.

I'm guessing that everyone is busy making mincepies etc....

oooh Vjay check you getting a kindle . My boss has one and was showing me it the other day. Its v. snazzy .

I've asked Santa for lots of pampery things, new pyjamas (love the short dressing gowns in M&S), candles and S&tC 2 as I didn't make it to the cinema (like neeko!).

So Ajay likes the Christmas tree - aaargh! We put ours up last night and brought boys down after their bath to help. Our theory being if B saw he baubles etc. go on he wouldn't be so fascinated by them... Day 1 - fine so far, just plays with some things lying at the foot of tree.. Could that be a suggestion? Put things round the base for Ajay to play with? We don't have lights on yet so may be a different story then... eek. Buddha - did you make a decision on the above?

Weather wise, central belt is in thaw mode thank goodness. BUT it's to get much colder again next week with possible snow by 18th/19th.. Will keep you up to date. hope you make it down .

Barbie - love, love,love your bangles and your DH's swim shorts (do you like Jack Wills stuff too?) but most importantly D's boots - too cute and not at all chavy unless you are teaming them with burberry tights.. Can picture her in them and her duffle coat. she won't know what to do with all that weight on her . May slow her down a bit mind.

Definately agree layering is the way to go with keeping them warm.

cupcake - I will endeavour to post early next week, hope you like. I've included some summer stuff that Isaac had as he was a June baby like Jude but totally wrong season for B. Your DH sounds v. talented - mincemeat no less!

louey - honey hope you're feeling better soon xx

BQ - welcome to the second trimester . What a milestone.

neeko - will be thinking about you on Monday. Can feel you cherishing these last few days of mat leave, but not long til crimbo hols..

MLS - hoe are things with Miss K? Has your DD1 some her bit at the nativity? DS1's was cancelled due to weather

mermaid - please come out from under all that Crimbo baking and say 'Hi'.

QfSanta - have we got a CD1 on the table yet?

Well I'm spray tanned up again. Have playgroup Mum's night out tomorrow, overnighter in Glasgow. Wearing a tightish bustier dress so bought my scuba suit control pants yesterday to keep my bum in check, going to the toilet will be a bit but if it shrinks my arse then well worth it .

Oh and I watched the best bits of Corrie on Tues/Thurs. DH was like as I never watch Corrie but he doesn't know I used to @ 1993 ish as guy I went out with loved it and got me hooked (aye, it was all sex, drugs and rock and roll with him). Loved the whole Raquel/Des/Tanya Martin/Carmen mad nanny storylines... Had to reassure DH I wasn't going to start watching it again

Could't find my Love Actually DVD so great if we're postponing it til next week . Need to do my annual 'when Harry Met Sally' and 'Its a Wonderful Life' too...

Waves to everyone else. Its a bit how quiet the thread is these days...

Kindle

cupcake I forgot to say I traded Love Actually for the Apprentice too

barbie a Kindle is an e-book, just hope I don't break it cos I'm a clumsy clutz, that's if I get it As for Dolly have you got any cardigans? I would just have them incase it's very cold then you can just pop it on/off as and when, other than that I'm sure she'll be fine. It'll be a shock for all of you, you'll have forgotten what cold feels like

whats a kindle??? Are you reading that house rules book?

Santa is bringing me these in a few colours, the rest i will get for my birthday in Jan

spoilt brat! I wanted something i could wear all the time, so these will go with everything and i can mix and match

Dh is getting those posh swimming shorts this brand

We are only having one gift each from each other, we are very lucky to have the most important gift already, we are going to be very thankful for that this year.....

vjay do you think dolly will be warm enough in a dress and tight with a vest underneath? bear in mind the coldest its been is 16 degrees when walking the dog at 7am....and that was bloody freezing!

Thanks for letting us know about louey barbie , GET WELL SOON LOUEY

barbie Ajay has a vest, t-shirt and top on, or if it's a thick jumper I leave out the t-shirt, on his bottom half it's trousers only, I might get him some tights though if this cold continues.

cupcake I would love to be in a book group , talking of books I think dh is getting me a kindle for Christmas, I'm so excited

What are all you ladies hoping santa will bring?

You will need to get a loo seat warmer

Dh bought the nicest stuff from Zara, we have a baby duffle coat for her...and these to go over her thick tights...cute (but maybe slightly chavy? still she has her other pretty shoes too and her old fashioned checked smock dresses....how many layers do you put on Jude?

Ok that should have said PUTTING Jude... see it's so cold I can't even type.

barbie! I'm sat here freezing my fingers off and putting off going to the loo cos it's just too cold
It will be a shock to you but also quite lovely to think of Dolly all wrapped up warm! I love ting Jude in his snowsuit with bear ears

Time to make another cuppa I think...

im here.....all alone.......ah cupcake is here too how are you sweetie? Im sat watching Dolly play in the garden, the cold is going to be one huge shock next week...brrrrr

Wheeeere is everyone?

Was last night meant to be our Love Actually night? Cos we watched The Apprentice instead ...when shall we crack out the Love Actually DVDs?? One night next week maybe?

Lol, Vjay I loved the latest Shrek movie, laughed so much...but then I am a big kid Tomorrow evening I'm going to see the new Johnny Depp movie with girls from my book group...so excited!! (Even though I STILL haven't seen Harry Potter, hmph)

monkey dh has finally made the Delia mincemeat! We're a bit behind the times...but hopefully some yummy mince pies will materialise very soon! The whole house smells like Christmas right now, love it!

barbie eek to dh but yes I agree, spend your time here instead

Ds has been asleep for 2 hours now so expect my time is probably up...

vjay i text louey yesterday cos i was worrying about her...she has flu now thanks to her dh...poor love is resting (as much as she can with twins! )

Eating lunch back to chat soon

OMG I put my tree up yesterday it was one of the most stressful things I have done lately. I can't leave Ajay alone in the living room for a second now, he's hanging off the darn thing, or picking up and throwing the other ornaments we have. Dh said he'll get bored of it soon enough, but I'm a bit

Anyway enough about me, barbie I'm sure your dh will be fine, in the meantime step away from google, come chat on here instead

louey are you ok?????

IHQFS I will suggest dadsnet to dh, he'll probably go like this at me. We do alot of that in this house

buddha good luck putting your tree up

mermaid I watched the latest shrek movie the other night and LOL when donkey said flip flop fridays , dh thinks I'm weird

blue and neeko how's the weather on the central belt, we are down your way in a weeks time to meet up with the inlaws, I really hope we can get down, and they can get up.

Right, Ajay is asleep so I am going to put my feet up and read my book

Bq & Louey fantastic news on the scans girls so very pleased for you both.
Barbie Try not to freak out about dh's location, I'm sure he'll be fine, if he's like you he could probably talk himself out of any situation

Loving all the Christmas names

Sorry for lack of personals but I'm at work, so can't be long - we've also got no heating so it's freezing and my fingers are rather blue

We too are debating whether or not to put up a tree, I have visions of E lying underneath it with a big grin on his face or trying to blame the poor cats!

Catch up soon x

where is everyone???? under 10 feet of snow i bet....

bq another congratulations...how did the results go?

louey are you ok???

moon anymore thoughts on that dreaded trip to the doctors???

Wave to everyone else, sorry not much time to post...franticly trying to get everything sorted for coming home next wednesday...washing car seats, prams, digging out coats from the back of cupboards, that kind of stuff.

Dh is in iran for a government meeting and im crapping myself due to the hostage situation at the moment, trying not to spend too much time with the computer in my hands cos i end up googling and freaking out more

Hope everyone is well and just too cold to type x

congratulations bq lovely news

Where are choccie and PFJ? hope you're ok girls.
And mermaid for that matter...are you buried in snow?

Sorry to hear about the other poorly babies; it is such a horrible worry.
Jude has still been off his food today and just wanting to rest his head on my shoulder the whole time which is nothing like him...he's always looking around, smiling, on the move etc. Anyway, tonight he finally had a proper dinner so I really hope he'll turn a corner now. I can hear him coughing away in bed :( but he's not complaining about it bless him.

Fantastic news about the scan bq...13 weeks, I'm so so happy for you :)

Questions yay for gearing up to CD1! so exciting! Here's to a new year BFP!

4ever Matt is my fave on X Factor; in fact I even bought his versions of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Baby One More Time on iTunes so I have him on my iPod now but I think One Direction will win.

I am trying to finish more Christmas shopping online but have no inspiration... what do you buy for young adult men who aren't into reading and don't need DVDs/CDs cos they download everything (dh's brothers are so hard to buy for!!)

BQ That's fantastic news Hope you got a good scan pic too!

blue Don't worry. I didn't notice and knew you meant hands on with a baby Glad you and your DH were both home safely, the news has ben full of people stuck in cars overnight, made me realise i wouldn't be very prepared if that happened to me, think i am going to sort out a mini survival kit for the car at the weekend, with at least a blanket and water.

barbie Lol at testing I can see why you are of the snow, it is a pain to travel in, but it is making it feel more Christmassy. Hope your DH manages to keep his manflu to himself!

vjj if your DH is desperate to get on MN, tell him to get himself over to Dadsnet

Neeko hope your DD is feeling better soon

Louey How are you, trying not to worry as I know you were busy and out last night, but hope it went well yesterday.

MLS how are you doing? How has your DD1 taken to her new little sister? have been thinking of you this week.

Seem to be gearing up for CD1 feeling very emotional hormonal

Hope everyone is coping with the weather ok.
