to have forgotten what went with frangipan?

[Hullygully]

Skips prettily about the vast empty potentiality of the empty Hall and awaits.

Hello my lovely IPOAT comrades!

Am now thinking of all day breakfast mmmmmmmmm

Mimi I do hope you made a cheeky comment about often fancying a large hot sausage in the morning

We are all having a chilled day today with no visitors...bliss.

Wibble.

I do love that word and can't stop saying it today.

Gibbon - you sound so happy .

I really really want to know her name, because I am a bit of a Baby Names obsessive. But I would completely understand if you didn't want to say for reasons of piracy privacy

I had brunch at Giraffe today - on my own. That Mexican pancaky/pizza type thing with lots of yummy stuff - eggs, avocado, tomatoes, onions, cheese

< bloated but 'appy >

I am a bit of a Baby Names obsessive

Jamie - a bit?

Gibbon, you sound v fluffy. Does her head have that lovely smell?

yes, I admit - I am obsessed. I think it must be because my own name is very unusual

Yes her head has that amazing smell, it's intoxicating...

I have an unusual name too Jamie I would post her name but I am mega private on MN..I am feeling v brave posting her pic but know it's only you guys that can see it

She is such an easy baby, it worries me a little tbh that she doesn't do crying. Midwife said she is content and laid back, hope that's what it is....is it weird for newborns to be so chilled?

No worries, I completely understand

DS2 was a very easy baby too. Only cried a bit when he was hungry, and slept a lot. I didn't know what hadn't hit me.

Yes she sleeps tons

I though DD1 was easy but you would hardly know DD2 is in the house...lol @ I didn't know what hadn't hit me.

... DS2 being easy was great, because poor old DS1 was completely thrown by his new brother, and Lord knows how I'd have coped with a colicky baby and a rampant toddler.

I find it so interesting how temperamentally different mine were right from day 1. People talk about Boys and Girls and what they supposed to be like, but I think when you have 2 the same sex it shows quite how much is down to temperament.

Absolutely, I think second time around I am way more chilled so this may contribute to the placidness. I'm not complaining and am sure all is fine, just seems a bit weird IYKWIM.

Jamie, do come....Crush will be there, you can evaluate and report back....

I will come

< worries about what to wear >

yes, I see your dilemma, what to wear to visit Chatsworth Road on a Wednesday daytime? Fraught with etiquette trauma...I suggest a fine pair of britches and a ruffly shirt...

Or some chef whites and a teatowel would probably work for me....

Don't forget your cgi.ebay.co.uk/c-1820-AMAZING-ORIENTAL-INSPIRED-RETICULE-/270601548846?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Vintage_Men_s WomensAccessories&hash=item3f011bf42e#ht1164wt_913reticule...

Bollocks

reticule

That reticule looks like no bollocks I've ever seen ...

I may carry a fan and fan myself prettily while eyeing up Madame and/or Crush (can't quite remember what gender/sexuality I am)

'Tis a reticule for keeping ones bollocks in - it will be useful as you swoop between genders.

Am feeling weirdly nervous about tomorrow - something akin to a date/interview. I hope I shall not disappoint Madame

oohhhh and IPOAT meet of sorts, how exciting! I do hope you will both slip a little surreality into the occasion.

oh, Jamie, wot fun! I might be stuck down in the kitchen, but please come down...I need to show you a) my immaculate kitchen (though it might be a bit messy) and b) Crush... I might well be crying in a corner, but my trusty staff are brill at keeping me going ( I have been known to stand next to the fridge and bang my head against it moaning "I can do this, I can do this!")

Sounds reassuring surreal already . Was going to ask how I shall recognise you - but I now know you'll be the one banging your head against kitchen appliances ... Will do my best to be there by 12. That OK?

Mucho love. Adieu ....

Oh oh oh, am so jealous, I want to meet everyone.

I was thinking about how one would recognise Mimi, I thought one could check out her pins - which would be interesting if one was incognito.

oh def jealous too!

[not fair]

Gibbon , kiss Giblet for me xx

at gratuitous use of Giblet!

Do any of you ever go/have ever been/would ever go to any meet-ups (like the xmas one)?

Noooooooo no no no no. Too afraid I would be.
