I dont know why I even bothered giving up chocolate. I knew I would never last. Especially watching ds and dh eating milky bars last night

Diege · 07/02/2008 08:20

NJ, ok, promise no more sociology . Oooh yes, looking back I was Kay's temptress with my call to chocolate ...[I won't mention the two bars of Tesco's finest, plus the new galaxy fruit and nut bar that dh has left in the fridge...nice and chilled, delicious!]
Right, school run. Look forward to the new list Natalie!

kayzr · 07/02/2008 07:54

Morning all.
NJ Im sorry but I love football!!
Diege I was pregnant when we went on honeymoon We were kinda lucky and kinda unlucky as my mum and her dp took us as we cant drive and couldnt afford to go anywhere exotic and it was HELL!! I was so hormonal it was awful so Im worrying it will be the same this time round.
Ds has his breakfast and is throwing it all over the floor

NatalieJane · 07/02/2008 07:29

OMG, I stay away for a night, and you wreck havoc by mentioning the 'Football' word..... , Diege has corrupted Kay's giving up choclate for lent, on the first day, and then Diege (again ) and Happy go talking about big words that take too long to work out what they mean. IT IS NOT ON!!!! Now sit down quietly, no words of over 7 letters allowed, except 'conception' and (sexual) 'intercourse'!!!!

I will do the list..... when I get back from town, remind me!

I really haven't got time to be sat here, but hey ho, it is too bloody cold to move away.

I tried to get on with a mobile hairdresser once, never again, kids running around, telly on, sat in the kitchen with hair going everywhere (took me about 2 months to get every single little piece picked up, it got everywhere, it was like when you smash a glass and you are still finding pieces of it 6 years later....)

I am going to have to go, haven't even got breakfasts or lunch ready yet. See you all later, I am in town today so will be much later, BFN xxx

Diege · 07/02/2008 07:10

Morning girls . Another 5.30 start courtesy of dd3 . Thurs/Fris are always a killer for me as dh works away at end of week, so no respite from the early starts!
HAPPY, ooh, wonder if I'm marking papers from your centre? TBH, we never really know where we're marking from, as it's all pretty anonymous, although the candidates sometimes give the game away by writing their college in the space for 'awarding body' . Bless.
Mixed day today. Hairdresser rang up to say she's 'gone mobile', so rather than the usually enjoyable visit to town,I get the kneeling over the bath and stained towel experience. Then I've got a viewer for the house at one - a grumpy old fart who's been round twice already, but hey you can't really say no if you want to sell! [was thinking, on a tangent, that if we move before I have the next baby that I might consider a home birth..[diege's midwife quietly sniggers in light of diege's extraordinarioly low pain threshold].
Right, better get breakfasts etc! Speak later, diege x

happynappies · 06/02/2008 21:45

I teach at a 6th form college - just teaching research methods at the moment to my AS groups... I did Sociology as a supplementary subject when I did my degree, but it has long since faded from my memory - post pregnancy and birth so has most of my own subject!!!

Diege · 06/02/2008 21:36

Ooh HAPPY, pyschology! I dabble in a bit of social psychology, but am quite an orthodox sociologist (critical realist, with a bit of post-structuralism if that means anything!). Do you teach at college/6th form or uni' level?
KAYZ, don't you dare leave it till July! I know what you mean about holidays, but if you get pregnant May, you will hopefully be nearly over the sicky stage by hols - and if not, a good excuse to just relax and do nothing!

kayzr · 06/02/2008 20:32

I cant wait for my holiday. I'm in 2 minds whether to ttc in may or to wait until after the holiday. I dont think I could wait until after July. I'd probably drive myself, dh and you lot insane

happynappies · 06/02/2008 20:23

eek - sorry for double post!!!

happynappies · 06/02/2008 20:22

I see Diege... I heard 'research methods' and wondered if, like me, you taught Psychology...

I'm in a dilemma about this years' holiday. Hopefully I might be pg by this Summer, so that may or may not be an issue. We can't decide whether to go where we have been for the last two years, to Devon, or whether to push our 'comfort zone' and try something different - considering mobile home in France. Last year managed to raise all money for holiday with e-bay sales and car-booting, but this year have to go during school hols in July so will be even more expensive!!

I've just sent dh into kitchen for chocolate bar. Despite his moaning there for his lunch

Diege · 06/02/2008 20:08

I've just sent dh out for a cadbury's cream egg mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

kayzr · 06/02/2008 20:04

I could reall do with some chocolate but Im meant to have given it up for lent but I cant see it lasting much longer

cinnamontam · 06/02/2008 19:43

Thanks Kayzr

That's an easy one. I love chocolate and wine and don't have any holidays booked yet this year. Phew...so that's me done.

Hey all xxx

kayzr · 06/02/2008 19:31

Yay Football is on!!
I'm so sad to get excited about England FFS!!
I just find Gary Linekar so lovely

Diege · 06/02/2008 19:29

Yes, there is a list!!! Natalie is in charge of it - can't figure out the cut and paste on my laptop, so shall wait until she's back!

kayzr · 06/02/2008 18:59

No dont think so

Teuch · 06/02/2008 18:52

do we have a list yet?

OP posts:
kayzr · 06/02/2008 18:49

Hi Cinnamontam. We've been talking about where we are going on holiday, and Chocolate and wine. All sorts of various things in between

cinnamontam · 06/02/2008 18:44

Just...can't...keep...up...with...all...the...chat!!! I'm going to need to spend the evening just reading up on what you ladies have been up to. Anyone fancy doing a quick summary I'm such a lazy sod

kayzr · 06/02/2008 18:41

I have a had a bath and a nap. I've sent dh over to supermarket for some wine. Good thing its only over the road.
