Hey Edie and Lynne

[Jossie]

I know we mentioned having a "chat" thread as well, do you still fancy one or not ? I'd like to be on the original thread as well.

DP fights at middle weight!! Lynne-think I posted it over on ttc after mc thread. No neither of us smoke. Both used to though in our wild teenage years!!

Been doing some late shifts and so don't get home until gone ten. Im usually on here in the mornings though. Nights shifts start Sunday night.

Don't have a leather sofa. My cats love their scratch post though-do either of you have one? Got them both insured today with Direct Line.

Still waiting for AF.

Good luck with the tests Josie. Do you mind having blood taken? Im a donor and I hate it soooo much!! Hope the car is ok and not too costly.

Lynne-recommended mystery shopping to some others on the chat thread. One already does it!

Just read my post-it sounds really matter-of-fact!! Sorry girls!!

Edie, we do have a scratch post, one would rather use the hall wallpaper (as its blown paper) the other uses the garden fence and the third uses the scratch post. Think we're just going to opt for the fabric sofa instead, it comes in both styles, its just that leather looked nicer!! But dont want to chance it.

Jossie, hope your well today.

Did my two mystery shops, one was a right pain!! It involved memory cards and their machine wasnt working, had to go back and it still wasnt working!! In the end had to just leave!The other was good, that involved food

Well girls, i hope you both enjoy you weekend, do either of you have anything planned??

We have dh, ds visiting for the weekend so not sure whats happening yet as dh is working till 11 tonight, quiet night for me, ds is in with his friend, just going to get a chinese.
Catch with you both soon. xxx

Hiya
I don't mind having blood taken (luckily), would rather do that any day than take a tablet! So much so I had the depo injection before the boys rather than take the pill.
Lynne My secret is out-I found out about Edie's DH on the TTC board-I couldn't resist a peek once I'd got the courage.
Discovered today that I still can't bear to be near the woman at work who is pg-Lord only knows how it will go with me working alongside her one day a week next term(might handle it better if we are TTC, I don't know)
Feel like af is coming, but it is a week too early attm, so don't know what is going on there.
Have a great firework weekend both of you-it's my birthday on Monday-bet DH forgets to get a card etc

Jossie, I know what you mean, ive had a wee look about on the other threads too, must have missed that one one though LOL
Forgot to ask, how did you get on with your car??
Girls im afraid to say i'd love to give blood...but they can never find any veins and always have to take from my wrist, which is v.v painfull, ive always said i would give blood as late dh had to get 9 pints of blood a few years back and if it werent for you blood donors he wouldnt have survived the extra couple of years which he did.They can never get a syringe full from me never mind a pint!!!
Jossie, i hope you have a nice birthday on monday, do you have any plans??
Does dh usually forget your b/day??? You will have to start dropping hints LOL
Are you doing anything for bonfire night with the boys?? Not sure what we're doing yet.
Catch up with you both later

Hiya-I'd love to give blood, did do it a couple of times, but I'm not allowed to as I've had a blood transfusion when I had DS1 and therefore might be a mad cow (sorry carrying mad cow )

DS1 has lots of b.day parties to go to at the moment, he's got one in the afternoon tomorrow and then another in te evening that is also a sort of forework one, then on Sunday there is a huge free display near me ( lasts 30-45 mins) so we'll probably go to that.

Hints about my birthday-I've been telling DS1 to remind Daddy and telling him that I like flowers (although DS1 wants to buy me a bottle of hair serum as I've got curly hair and use it a lot!! ) DH has a tendency to remember my birthday, but not get round to buying a card or anything else, he then feels guilty, I feel a little stroppy (we don't tend to fall out) and I think oh well another birthday gone . I can't believe I'm going to be 37

The car is in the garage-it looks terminal as the engine has probably been damaged and the car itself is prob only worth about £500-I've started to look in the adverts to see what is around, although could have done with waiting a few more months, but fate had other plans. But it made put together my health insurance claim from the m/c in Summer so I've got my act together a little, in the cause of getting money.

Sorry I got carried away with the faces-I'm supposed to be doing my home working, but not in the mood as mum and dad have just got their moving date which I've been dreading as they live just down the road to me attm and will be moving an hour or so away, will miss them , so decided not to work, had a lazy bath, drinking a glass of red wine at the same time and then sat down to create a long message-the work can wait!

Have a good weekend

Didn't use all the faces, so here goes-
, -I'm not really!, , ,-that's it got the faces out of my system, obviously feel in a silly mood, must be the wine (1 glass I promise)

Hi girls.

Josie-like your use of the faces-very colourful. Sorry to hear about your car, what a pain. these things always come at the wrong bloody time don't they?!

I am lucky that I can give blood, have donated 6 pints so far and am 25yrs old. So not doing too bad. Im proud to do it but as I say I absolutely hate anything going into my vein so I do tend to get myself worked up before hand. Josie I you not minding needles.

Today I am off down to Herts for my grandpa's 90th b/day party in Baldock. DP has a fight tonight so can't come I was very pi**@d of with him to be honest as he had forgot that he was supposed to be coming with me to the party. Now Im having to stay in a hotel room on my own tonight!!!

Took my cat to the vets-thanks for asking about her Lynne. She listened to her chest and cannot hear any fluid or irregularities with heartbeat. I asked if she could have tests done and so they are going to do ultrasound, chest x ray and blood work. £350!! Worth every penny though. They feel it was probably an allergic reaction but they agree that its best to investigate further.

Have fun whatever you do over the weekend girls xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi girls, how are you both today??
Edie, im the same with the veins, though i tend to faint
Jossie, how you getting on with the car?
Well hope your both having a nice weekend, myself and dh have been shopping all weekend for a sofa, spent most of yesterday looking, we did have our eye on one but then found one alot more comforatble than it so went for that, although did cost £300 more, but sure it'll be worth it
Today we've been out shopping for a coffee table the one we like is £300 but i have just spotted one in argos which is similar to it at £89 so im all for buying that one!!Its lovely an indian wood which is handmade.
Well going to get wrapped up for the bonfire
i hate being cold
Hope you are both well!
Jossie hope you have a lovely birthday. Does that mean you are a sagitarian?? Im a sagitarian (sp)

Im at the end of November, Edie what months your birthday??
Right girls catch up with you both later xxx

comforatble
comfortable

No I'm a Scorpio-the one with the sting in the tail.
Glad you had a good day shoping my DH hates going round shops, it took us ages to decide on a sofa-we've been looking round car showrooms today! Had band practice this morning which was a bit hard work on a Sunday!
DH has forgotten to get me a card-he's just popped out "to work" to photocopy some documents, but I bet he'll stop by a shop as I've made him feel very guilty by not saying much about it-one of my specialities, that way I'm not a nag, I was a bit miffed as it meant I wouldn't get a card from the boys in the morning.
Went to local fireworks with friends and DS2 last night, DS1 came home from a party and was promptly sick -too much food with football playing on top, so he and DH stayed in the car to watch. We were supposed to go out tonight, but the boys were too shattered to stay up late.
Bye for now I must get on with marking books!

PS Edie-hope you had a good party in sunny Baldock-you were about 20 miles away from me!

Hey girls

Had a good time at the bday party for gramps although some of my family are a bit strange and others I just have nothing in common with!

Jossie-The party was in Norton-I got it wrong. It was at The Three Horseshoes...do you know it?? Happy birthday for tomorrow although Im sure I will say it again when we speak then. Me and Lynne have clubbed together to buy you a weekend shopping trip in New York and a diamond bracelet...generous I know

Off to work shortly

Lynne- Yes plump for the Argos one- I love that place with all its bargains

See you later xx

Hi girls!!
Edie, glad the b/party went well, know what you mean about family!!! My mums family are so too faced that it kills me!! Think ive argued with nearly everyone of them, with me ive got to tell you to your face what i have to say and with them they do it behind your back and ive just got to approach them and say what ive gota say I am a v quiet person normally, just keep myself to myself (quite reserved) but if someone upsets me then all hell is broke loose.

Jossie, in our case its dh that loves shopping, i hate it!! I can never bothered going round all those shops (think its because ive worked in retail the last 15 years) Dont mind the m?shops though.

Going xmas shopping tomorrow with my mum, like to get in the shopping centre early before it starts getting busy.

Girls, catch up with you tomorrow!Hope you have a nice day for your b/day Jossie and hope you enjoyed that diamond bracelet from me and ed

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSIE

Lynne

Know what you mean about family. Mine are very two faced. Its awfully infuriating! Now back from night shift with hot water bottle on here!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
JOSSIE
HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!!XXX

Aw Edie, hope you get a decent sleep today. x

WAnted to say thankyou in previous message before I bored you to tears with this one!
Just come back from my blood tests-boy do I know how to have a whale of a time on my birthday!!-they say the results should be back in time for my appt next week, the woman who did the tests really hurt this time, I think she was doing it at a funny angle, should be some good bruises.
Having a bit of a down day today-we were talking about what to do at Christmas last night, and all I kept feeling was that I shouldn't have been able to host Christmas as m/c baby 1 was due on 18th December, I can't wait to get that day over and done with, I didn't think it would have such an effect on me, will probably either go out all day or else stay in bed and hide!
Why were they due around memorable dates (although I know the date always stays ingrained in your mind) m/c baby 2 was due day after DH b.day.
Sorry I'm getting all depressing now-probably because I'm 37 now and senile
Good new was that someone I know told me today that she was pg and I was able to hold it together, probably helps that I like her-she told me in the middle of us talking about my tests, because she has had a bit of a chequered past regard to pregnancies and she wanted to give me some hope
Promise I'll cheer up by tonight
J

Aw Jossie you poor soul (all in one day) YOUR BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you are feeling better this afternoon. x
I know what you mean about the dates (mines will be 1st April) and a date like that everyone will remember think that will make things worse.
Did you decided in the end what you will do for christmas??
Im not doing anything and im not inviting anyone Fed up with all that year in year out (ihate it) So its just going to be me, dh and ds maybe ss in the evening.
For the last couple of years we've had a really horrible xmas day 4-5 years back prev m/inlaw decided to phone me up on xmas day to tell me she bought my prev dh headstone but didnt put my name on it and i cried all day and night upstairs so that ds couldnt see me, then 2 years back made dinner for my mum and broth and neither of them turned up, mother decided to get totally steaming out her face and broth was out at a party (again spent the day crying) as id gone to so much effort with the meal, then last xmas my father in law passed away xmas night, so we have decided we will not be inviting anyone ever again!! Know it sounds a bit selfish but i cant take another xmas day of crying.
Well jossie, hope you have a nice birthday in the evening. xxx

decide

God! Just read through my thread, is that depressing or what (SORRY)

Josie-Please do something really nice for yourself at Xmas-it will be hard for you I know, but you deserve to have a nice day and not have to spend it in bed! Going out maybe a good idea. For a slap up meal if you can xx

Lynne-You nearly had me in tears with that post. Sounds awful I hope you have a good day too-forgetting about all those people who have hurt you/let you down.

We're going to have to work on strategies to ensure you two have a good Xmas!!!

Lynne-my baby was due on 2nd April-how wierd is that???!!!

Hiya
Hope you're ok, I'm feeling a bit more positive now, just been really busy.
I've decided to go out somewhere on 18/12 as I can either stay in and feel miserable or else go out and distract myself!
Lynne sorry to hear about your awful christmases-don't blame you for not wanting to do too much
We're having a "pretend" Christmas day a week earlier this year as that is the only time all the shift workers (DH, Dad & Br) can be together and that my Bro can have his little boy. Then on Christmas day we'll have a small get together with Mum and Dad and then see in laws on Boxing day,
Car looks terminal! £1,000 to fix it, might get it done but not sure. Surprisingly I'm not tense or upset about it!!
Hope you are both ok

My cat has been diagnosed with severe asthma. She cost me £640 yesterday and is going to have to take medication and inhalers for the rest of her life. Insurance won't cover any of it as she was not covered when she had the first asthma attack.

I hope she is going to be OK. I posted in Pets section but no answers as yet. Im worried sick about her.

Hi girls, hope you are both well.
Jossie, thats a shame about the car Do you have far to travel for work? Thats nice your having an early xmas dinner for the family and also one for your parents at xmas.I got my xmas dinner in today along with the desserts are you two any further with the xmas shopping?? LOL Im nearly finished, so im glad of that.

Edie, how are you? I wasnt on yesterday had quite alot to do about the house, we are still waiting for the plasterer to appear so dh is not amused with him Im in the who cares mood, i dont get angry, i just switch off, told him who cares if we dont have wallpaper on the walls or a anything to sit on, who cares if the plasterer doesnt appear, we're not having anyone for xmas dinner, so who cares (he just gave gave me a weird look) LOL and said "i cant believe how laid back your being" it'll get gone sooner or later. LOL I dont think theres any point in getting angry or upset with thesecsort of things so i dont. (lifes too short)
Right girls, going to make dinner as my older broth is up visiting tonight, so i'll catch up with you bot later. xxx
