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

Had a chuckle at monkey tidying up for the cleaning lady

mermaid Cjays temp is still high, I took him to the out of hours yesterday and he has a virus, so no school today.

As for shred I've not had chance for a few days, I'm on level 3 now which is better than level 2 and have just 9 days to go til I've done the full 30, the problem is we have someone staying with us at the mo so I can't go flinging myself around the living room incase he walks in , I don't even let dh watch me shred O look like a hippo trying to dance

BQ good luck for your scan today, please pop in and tell us how it went

sabs thats lovely about your SIL, a little cousin for Saara

Right the ironing pile beckons, or should I shred mmmmmmmmm, what is Vjay to do?????

Morning!! Been desperate to say hello, but just not had a chance, and this is only a quick one as I leave for work in an hr and have to tidy the house for the cleaning lady...

Mermaid Yay! SO lovely to see you back I have been thinking of you loads, and as you can probably tell you have been hugely missed by everyone! I really hope you're back to stay Sounds like you're being very organised re tax return etc, sounds similar to me during the summer when I just needed to tidy and organise things in the house. Perhaps to gain a little control in my case anyway. Sending you a lovely star back for managing to get through Christmas, that was a tough one I'm sure.

BQ Lots of luck for this afternoon Will you let us know how you get on? {smile]

Barbie at Dolly's antics! Goodness knows how you manage to get anything done at all, you must have to watch her like a hawk! Are you keeping a diary/journal of all the monkeyness she gets up too? Then you can embarrass her when she's older

Vjay Poor CJay getting all upset re waving hello, but your dh sounds fab managing to make him feel better.

Sabs Well done your SIL! Bet they can't quite believe it after so long trying. 10 years Hope all is well with you and S x

'Fraid I really must go now as house looks like whirlwinds been through it and the cleaning lady is a new one so don't want to scare her off Love to all, and will try to come back later xxx

ps thanks so much for all the lovely thoughts and messages last week. You are, as ever, fantastic. I feel like I want to reply to you all, but I just haven't got the words, as mermaid said. That you were thinking of us means the world xxx

A quick post to wish baking the best of luck tomorrow. Will have everything crossed for you that all goes well. What time is the scan? Are you finding out the flavour?

mermaid so lovely to see you posting on here. Hope you're back for good.

Have had a busy weekend and have hardly been at home, so couldn't fulfill my promise of a a long post. Will try tomorrow.

BTW Don't know if anyone remembers when I posted a while back about my SIL who got pregnant after 10 years. She had a baby girl last Thursday, 10 days early. We're over the moon for her. Only thing is she's so far away, lives in another country and won't be over until the summer. Thank God for BlackBerry so we can get instant photo's

Sweet dreams everyone x

Hello all sorry just a quick hello been really busy at work and not had chance to catch up got 20 week scan tomorrow afternoon so fingers crossed it all goes well feeling very nervous x x

'each day is something like 1 and a half minutes longer every day 1 and a half minutes for qa to be doing something very useful '

mermaid 1 and a half minutes????!!!! Now that would be quick Completing tax returns definitely deserves a bottle of wine. Forward thinking member of society sounds positive, though I am sure you are still allowed the odd weeble x

Waves to barbie and vjay

each day is something like 1 and a half minutes longer every day 1 and a half minutes for qa to be doing something very useful not sure if dolly has extra time for more mischef over there tho?

vjay are the boys ok? so much blinking poorlyness around. We have escaped it, ha done it now haven't I. And for the record I am always waving at the wrong people especially in silver micras, don't ever let your friends buy silver micras ps I havn't shredded for days and days and days.

moon a hugest helllllooooooo

barbie I have not really lurked much recently but realise that you have a bit of a health concern You sound so very strong especially with your rampaging rug ratprincess to contend with. Thinking of you loads.

so I think I have gleemed that louey is longing for some blooming but is ok but knackered and is enjoying a bit of boedecia(sp) type behaviour which is always good.And drink cranberry juice. And so sorry to read about your poor sis

budha ace to see you saunter in, huge kiss to that lovely e and hope you get some answers.

curly must have frostbitecurlygirl must be a gorgeous handful now, hope all is ok in the curly household.

sabs a huge hallllloooooo and to the 2 s'sx

blue I am sorry that I missed bens birthday, that time has just whooshed past. I have just found an app - get me - which tries to control my calories the first day I tried lying but am now honest and faithfully typing in my nice biscuits 39, flamming calories etc. Just seeing it all listed is a bit shocking anyway I digress. love to the boys and well done on the ryvita front.

monkey Not very good at finding the right words at the moment lovely lady but I always think about you and a big fat gold shiny star for getting through these last few weeks.

neeko wtf is extinction? please please don't tell me this is a new diet that I should be following cos I just know it won't include a nice biscuitHope the girls are all better too.

4ever hello smiley lady hope you have had a glorious weekend and that summer is full of the joys of movement

which reminded me quickly of cupcake it's the dread of moving everything up a level that I hated. We shall look forward to being bombarded with posts once you have your new laptop lovely lady. Hope that dhs job is all ok and you have no more horrible uncertainty.

mls come on come and have a quick sneeky swig of that saucey looking wine spritzer in the greenhouse, hope you and the girls are ok.

bakingqueen waddle in and let us know how you both are think about you lots and hope you are in the blooming phase.

well we staggered thro the festive season (unclench jaw) scrapped various family members up and put them back together over new year (deep breath)and am trying to be a forward thinking member of the human race this year This involves going out to eat food, calorific value unknown to my app thank god and having all tax returns done keerching polish halo reach for a rewarding bottle of wine.
scraped or scrapped? can't work out which one is right easily confused on a sunday.

mermaid you have just made a very frazzled Vjay smile, I went from this to this .

mermaid That's very poetic and may have made my eye a bit wet

I think those reminders sneak in and hurt a whole lot qa But the sap is rising the days are getting longer and brighter and that just means your bfp is getting closer and closer
Have a lovely time away.

Ps have been wondering how ThePFJ and chocciechip have been getting on, if you're lurking let us know. especially as ThePfj and I were both on the October bus with MLS last year.

I was going to join the October bus, but it felt weird after being on it last year. It's just sad to be nearly a whole year on from getting my BFP last year.

Vjay sorry that they are both your boys are poorly, it's hard enough with 1 ime. Hope they are starting to feel a bit better today.

MrsKate Great to hear that you are feeling much better and that you have found the right meds. Hopefully occupational health will help you plan a return to work that won't throw you in at the deep end. Make sure you plan a phased return and build up as gradually as they allow. Are you Ft or Pt at work? Lovely news about your sisters friend too

Very quiet on here this weekend, hope everyone is ok. I am now on the slow countdown to next weekend. We are away visiting family next weekend and flying, not sure if you can pack pregnancy tests??!

hi all im sorry ive not been on in a while .
ive been feeling much better atfer changing my meds twice,ive got occupational health next week then hope to be back at work soon ,

thankyou all for you support love you all lots.

do you remember me mentioning my sisters friend who lost baby at 8 months pg in car accident she is pg again about 16 weeks im so happy for her xxxxxx

right need to catch up xxxx

Thanks for your lovely words , and stealthly done mermaid

Cjay is still poorly, he woke up with a temp of 102 last night then when I was getting him some medicine Ajay was sick!!!

On that lovely note I need to go and tend to my boys.

PS barbie Dolly is fab

Hi all

Firstly, monkey I hope this week has passed as peacefully as possible and you are looking forward to a nice weekend. Hopefully this week will also mark the start of a new year for you, one that brings you everything you hope for

Barbie and at your DD, she sounds so funny. Perhaps all this means that while everyone else is battling with their 2 year olds, she will be serene and zen like A colonoscopy will be no fun but hopefully it will give you some answers. Well done for not Googling too!

louey the blooming phase will come, but it must be harder never getting a rest with your 2nd pregnancy. for your sister and you as I know it must be hard for you too, being pregnant and wanting her to share your happiness. Hope you enjoy your night out with Dh tomorrow and the infection clears up. Is it an outdoor Lido, hope it is heated!

Vjay Poor Cjay,it must be awful to see him feeling embarrassed like that and to top it off being poorly now. Its hard being a parent and seeing them get upset about things, we are just starting with the odd minor thing now, but it's amazing what a strong protective instinct that kicks in.He is so lucky to have you and your DH looking out for him though Sorry you are having to wait to so long for Ajays appointment, lets hope its worth the wait and you get someone who knows what they are talking about.

buddha Hope your DS is feeling better now, i agree, I would rather clean up poo than sick! Sounds like he is keeping the nursery on their toes. they will be wrapping him in bubble wrap soon If his hearing is slightly affected at the moment it could be affecting his balance slightly, however, it could also be that crazy bouncing off things walk that they have initially where they just see where they want to be and not what is in the way

curly Lol at so last season, I hope you are not actually wearing short shorts, you do realise it is still winter don't you?

mermaid I loved the way you tried to do a commando style roll back in to the greenhouse, attempting to go unnoticed with a simple reply back to vjay it is lovely to have you back

Weekend waves to 4ever neeko LBM sabs and Blue who I think is still at her desk eating ryvitas, or has keeled over with hunger as ryvitas are proven to be cardboard Tho I suppose you do have to suffer to look that good.

Busy weekend planned, going to bed soon as woke up tired this morning and don't feel like I have woken up properly all day. My turn for asleep in in the morning though

mermaid you're back!!!!!! Can you tell we've missed you Hope you're ok

barbie Oh you have got a right one there.....No wonder you are knackered!!!!

vjay poor cjay - I agree with mermaid it probably got blown out of proportion if he was coming down with something. Isaac's behaviour always goes off when he is building up to being ill. Hope the poor little mite gets better soon. Puking = not fun.

blue ryvita - yuck yuck yuck

sabs lovely to see you - hope things are ok with you and Saara.

Thank you for the lovely wishes for my sister. I let her be yesterday but I will give her a call tonight and see how things are.

Had a nice afternoon with the boys walking through the (very muddy) woods to our local lido. Isaac very much wants to walk on his own but we can't let him do that very often as he runs away at any opportunity. Anyway, today he was very good in the woods and it was so nice. He is now however back to opening the shower door and climbing in (we have one in the utility room...) Tired boys. Hopefully they will sleep well tonight.

and then in a while there is nightclubs and boyfriends

opps yes helllloooo my name is mermaid

it's often the way vjay when they are coming down with something that they get all het up about something especially when he probably tries so very hard to be perfect.

Hi ladies, thanks for Cjays hugs, dh came home and told him a funny story about himself doing the same thing and it cheered him up , but now he's off school with a raging temp and has been sick now. Fun and games

Hiya sabs

Evening ladies, a very quick post, as I want to share my hugs too, especially to louey and vjay and so sorry to monkey and 4ever that I havent been around.

Promise to come back real soon for a proper post. An update is long overdue!

xxx

sorry louey your poor sister - your best support is probably just being there for her?

two hugs required:

louey - for your sister, what sad awful dissapointing news . I can't begin to know how she is feeling, IVF is such a long journey to get to this stage with the injections and egg colection not to mention hormone city of emotions but to have to get that call must just floor you. Was this her first attempt? I'm sure you will be a good support to her as you are a wise old young owl x

vjay - for cjay, wee man . You know what its like when you try and be a bit spontaneous and grown up at that age and it doesn't work, embarrassment can be a thousand fold in their eyes. Hope your DH can perk him up x

Back tomorro on my lunch hour ryvita lurk and post x
