hello I have added DD to the list, I hope that is OK. It suddenly struck me reading it that I will be the only person who will remember her birthday etc, ever.
DP said he doesn't even know when she was born, so it's kind of nice I can put it somewhere. I've put it in date order hope that's right, it's far too early in the morning am at my desk drinking as much coffee as possible to wake up!

frasersmummy · 11/09/2009 20:16

oh its really sad to see that our list covers almost every month of the year.

eh shabster for someone who said they like organising other folk- how about organising yourself and adding Gareths and Matthews dates???

hazygirl · 11/09/2009 20:31

embarrsed i dont know how to cut and paste

crumpette · 11/09/2009 21:04

hazy if you highlight it by clicking at the start and dragging your mouse down it and then letting go, and press ctrl + c to cut and then ctrl + v to paste that should work.
Alternatively just type dates and we'll add to list for you x

Good luck sweetheart - Im sure you will be fine...will be thinking about you xx

frasersmummy · 13/09/2009 21:17

oh woolyjo.. its a big step

I work on a helpdesk and the day I went back they didnt want me to take calls..I couldnt do sitting about so by lunchtime I logged in and took calls

I didnt know if I would end up saying "you think your broken pc is a tragedy.. let me tell you about a real tragedy"

but in a way it was actually a relief to think about something else for a few hours

I hope it goes well.. I wil be thinking of you

Billie seems to have disappeared off the list .

Travelling I think I know the thing you are referring to. If its the same thing it caused utter havoc and pretty much spoiled a great site.

Hello all. x

Good luck tommorow woolyjo it took me 3 years to get back to work.

Crumpette hope the move goes well - are you going far?

shabbapinkfrog · 13/09/2009 21:39

Dont worry Che - Im going to start from the beginning of the thread and write them all down and then put them on here. If I dont find Billies name I will give you a shout. Will do my very best to not leave any of our precious children out. xxxx Just left a message for you on the names thread xxxx
