About time I start a thread! Pom poms still shaking, bumps growing, babies and toddlers talk a plenty, while the support, laughs, hand holds and weebling continues...

Hi ladies. Just want to remember my little lost angel. It's 3 years today since I found out Sad Sad and it's nice just to have somewhere to remember. Hope you're all ok.

Neeko · 14/03/2012 19:46

Happy birthday Vjay Hope you've had a special day.

Buddha Sad to pox. Allerief and aqueous cream with calamine in is the stuff you need. Don't forget to put oatmeal or bicarb of soda in his bath too. Pox are rife here too. I'm checking H fanatically regularly

Hairdresser for me on Fri - tis clearly an Emmsy haircut week!

Must dash, colleague coming round to work on project for HT. Means i have to attend meeting on Tuesday and miss meeting Blue ,,stamps feet and sighs>>

Fret not cupcake. It's on series link! It's our 'date night' sofa watching Smile

Do love Shelina but want Andrew to win. I've gone off Tom and think he has been lucky on a few occasions and I can imagine him not being above sabotage Grin

cupcakefairy · 14/03/2012 14:09

Should have said good EP.. goodness knows what my phone thinks a wo is Confused

cupcakefairy · 14/03/2012 14:08

Loueytb3 · 14/03/2012 13:41

blue felt leaves - genius. Am about to go to hobbycraft hopefully they will have some. He's got brown trousers and a tshirt which will do. Might look for tights or leggings although I'm not sure he will be too impressed with wearing them. I saw your tin tin Isaac - he was fab!!

More birthday wishes for vjay Wine Smile

buddha oh poor E. What a nightmare! Hope he's not suffering too badly Sad

bluesatinsash · 14/03/2012 13:23

Buddha sorry to hear the pox has hit x

bluesatinsash · 14/03/2012 13:20

Happy Birthday fabulous [Vjay] Grin Flowers

Still so young Envy

Hope you're having a grand day!

louey. I have read stick man so many times I can literally read it with my eyes shut! Both boys love all her books. Outfit wise - brown tights brown long sleeved top couple of felt leaves stapled on = one stick man Smile. Book day was 2 weeks ago tho' Confused. My Isaac was Tin Tin.

Masterchef final starts tonight

VJayazzle · 14/03/2012 10:20

Thanks lovelies Grin, cake is lovely we started eating it last night Blush.

I want Ajay to get the pox out of the way so send it over. I've just had to go into nursery as another child bit him and broke the skin, he's ok and I've left him there as I don't want him to be afraid to be there. Now I've got my feet up

BuddhaBelly · 14/03/2012 10:17

Barbie I have three words to say to you "bloody iPhone app" Angry

Thanks for help Smile

barbie1 · 14/03/2012 10:02

Buddha, write thanks instead of flowers!

Happy birthday to the ever lovely vjay

Back later x

cupcakefairy · 14/03/2012 08:19

Happy birthday vjay! Cake sounded lush, enjoy!

buddha oh no to chickenpox! Hope its not too horrible for you all.

louey glad one of your boys is better but boo to teething!

BuddhaBelly · 14/03/2012 06:38

Why didn't my flowers work Hmm
[flower]

BuddhaBelly · 14/03/2012 06:37

Just a quickie as lurking on phone but want to wish Vjay a very happy birthday Smile Flowers

Anyone want chicken pox Grin

Loueytb3 · 13/03/2012 22:05

vjay 6 years!!! Wow, that's some commitment. I had no idea you were doing it for that long. Hope you have a lovely lovely birthday tomorrow although should you really be baking your own birthday cake Confused. Does sound really yummy though. I was a good girl today, I turned down free cake.

barbie no suggestions for the sleeping or the reflux, I'm afraid. You're doing the things I would have suggested. Hope you get some answers from the Drs. I know there are some very good medications for it which help. Oscar was scanned because he was breech too, just routine. I'm sure Henry will get the all clear. So glad you've managed to get more cases, what will you do with all the extra space Grin

4ever I wouldn't worry too much about S's behaviour, its very common for kids to go a bit doolally when over excited - Luke gets much the same when we have visitors and it gets worse the more visitors there are....he hasn't grown out of it yet!

Must be the week for haircuts, having mine done on Thursday. Wish it were 2 hours in a salon but my hairdresser is coming over to straighten my hair and cut it. I hope Oscar will sleep for the duration but I bet he won't. Luke is finally on the mend and eating everything (hooray!) Oscar is teething badly, fine during the day (apart from hideous nappies) but evenings are a nightmare. Need to go as he is kicking off again...

BTW if anyone has any suggestions for a Stick Man costume I would be very grateful as Luke has to dress up for school on Friday and I have no imagination or creative skills whatsoever. Bloody book day!

VJayazzle · 13/03/2012 13:46

Hi 4ever this last module will finish at the end of September, it will have taken 6 years in all to do. Thanks for the birthday wishes for tomorrow, I'm just making my birthday cake now, it's a sticky maple-apple tray bake, without the walnuts Smile

Barbie yay and phew to 7 cases! Summer used to sleep loads as a baby, sleep, feed every 3hrs, then more sleep, I say enjoy! H will find his own routine in good time..

Cupcake glad you had a good childfree day out! Went hairdressers yesterday, and just 2hrs with some mags and a coffee is quite liberating!Shame you cant make the meet, but look forward to next time with your new addition! My MIL has brought my mum the call the midwife trilogy for my mums birthday on monday so might nab them after she's read them! Smile

Louey poor poorly boy, no fun, roll on the holiday eh?! Not at all Envy Grin We have our daffs and bluebells about to pop here too, as well as buds on our rosebushes, it was lovely yesterday!

LBM sure you wouldnt wanna chance an outing with all 3? Be great to get together again!

Blue I had iron tablets after having Summer and messed my toilet habits right up! Thankfully the recent scans and checks showed nothing awry.. Hope you and Neeks have a lovely meet up next week!

Neeko cheeky HM calling in the favours! Still a huge relief though. Do you have lots of fun filled plans for half term?

Vjay how long til your final module is finished? Bet you're counting seconds! Oooh just realised its your birthday tomorrow! Anything special planned fellow pisces girly?! Smile

Sabs well done for getting the ball rolling on the meet up! Do hope your house is sorted soon!

Buddha you have been quiet.. Hows your boy? Summer threw an almighty strop on sat, was/should of been my dbro's birthday so we had taken my mum to lay flowers and had her round for dinner, and Inlaws popped in too, dont know if it was all a bit overwhelming or what, but she was really tantruming, for no apparent reason? I thought of you as I tried to prepare dinner with her screaming blue murder, its only when theres an audience, good as gold when just us! She played up a bit yesterday for Inlaws when I went hairdressers too Confused

Hoping the strops arent indicitive of how she will be on sat night, when I'll be leaving her for the first time in the evening?! Hmm Confused Its a friends 40th so we are all off out for a girly meal, Summer will be home with DH, I tend to do the bedtime thing though, and am the one that gets her off to sleep, DH would love to but she is a bit of a mummys girl when she's tired and wanting cuddles, think DH is quite looking forward to it, but Im a bit Confused

Oh and louey fab about the call the midwife books.. I've only read the first one though so can't vouch for the others but sure they're brilliant too :) enjoy!

cupcakefairy · 12/03/2012 18:42

Thanks gals, the day out was lovely, forget what its like being sans child/buggy..quite liberating!

barbie hooray for more shoe room ;)
Boo to the sleep problems but he is soo tiny still, esp considering he was early so I'm sure he will sort himself out. I think you're a superstar dealing with everything.

don't think I'll be able to make the
meetup but I'm super jealous! Maybe in another few months once I've had the baby,Eek!
Hope all poorly babies are recovering and as always, waves and hugs to our lurking & MIA ladies, always thinking of you xxx

barbie1 · 12/03/2012 15:31
