A new thread for all us friendly Dec ladies

We sit and we type,
And we stare at our screens;
We all have to wonder
What this possibly means.
With our mouse we roam,
Through the rooms in a maze;
Looking for something or someone,
As we sit in a daze.
We chat with each other;
We type all our woes;
Small groups we do form,
And gang up on our foes.
We wait for somebody
To type out our name;
We want recognition,
But it is always the same.
We give kisses and hugs,
And sometimes flirt;
In PMs (IMs) we chat deeply,
And reveal why we hurt.
We do form friendships -
Yet why, we don't know;
But some of these friendships
Will flourish and grow.
Why is it on screen,
We can be so bold?
Telling our secrets
That have never been told.
Why is it we share
The thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see,
As though we were blind?
The answer is simple;
It's as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems
And need someone to tell.
We can't tell real people,
But tell someone we must;
So we turn to the computer,
And to those we can trust.
Even though it is crazy,
The truth still remains:
There are Friends Without Faces,
With odd little names.

LOL Ebbie, we have only had the carpet fitted today so not even 1 bed in the room yet!! Talk about cutting things fine.

I was trying to foist the sleepovers onto the boys mum (we've done the last 5 years of them now) but she refused point blank - what sense she has!!!

I think you are going to have to be harsh DQ and just tell them how long they can stay for. I'm sure they will cope for 1 year.

dramaqueen72 · 07/10/2005 17:20

dh has an idea, we tell them 'afer lunch' on boxing day. and dont let anyone in til about 2pm...LOL then we can do some kind of buffet tea and they can all bugger off home
i am hoping the point will get across if i keep saying to family members NOW one by one 'i'm really worried about this situation...' and none of them need really think i mean them personally, but wil take on board -with a bit of luck!- my comments, offer their advice and maybe 'solve it' themselves.
s/h youve gone all quiet today. you okay?

george32 · 07/10/2005 17:22

The spirit of Christmas is truely with you DQ

ebbie22 · 07/10/2005 17:28

Nemo666 · 07/10/2005 19:25

hi all
was thinking today that it might be fun for us to do a delivery date guesser as I am sure that by dec at least 2 of us will have had our babies already. What does everyone else think??? WE could do a guesser thread seperately.

dramaqueen72 · 07/10/2005 22:17

great idea nemo,
I have already got expectnet.com set up amongst friends - and i emailed some of you guys (those whos addresses I could remember!!) to enter you 'bet' too.

Nemo666 · 08/10/2005 09:36

dramaqueen72 · 08/10/2005 10:04

george32 · 08/10/2005 11:08

Have a good holiday & birthday Bonkerz

Sorry the insomnia has caught you now DQ. It is awful isn't it. Managed to get a few zzzzz's myself last night. I think it helps that I've had a lovely lie in. DP isn't sleeping in sympathy with me!

Good luck with your mums visit Nemo.

Hope you are feeling OK SH and your pains have gone away now.

Have a good weekend everyone.

dramaqueen72 · 08/10/2005 13:18

been for a lovely walk with dd2, kicking leaves and collecting conkers........always makes you feel better you know?
took some great photos of her amongst the yellow crunchy leaves.....
s/h are you okay now? i'm worrying about you. not like you to not even pop on and say hello. wishing you better hun.

nemo, how did it go?
george, bracing yourself for tonight? or was it last night? I'm counting on dd2 crashing out later and me too! mind you if my body is shattered my head is buzzing you know? i cant seem to switch off!!!

expatinscotland · 08/10/2005 13:27

Anyone else's feet super hurt if they stand up for more than 5 minutes?

DH took DD to kick and throw a football in the park b/c I just couldn't manage anymore.

At least I got lunch started.

Baby is head down w/head free.

dramaqueen72 · 08/10/2005 13:30

no no feet hurting here expat, but major dizzy spells if i am stood up for long. or do something 'reckless' like oh, crouch down for a photo taking session then stand up.. how the heck are we going to make it to week 40 if I feel like this now!!

BROWNY · 08/10/2005 13:41

Hi Nemo, - keep missing you on msn, but got your e-mails - hope you are feeling much better and happier today!! Good luck with your mum's visit, sounds like you might need it!. happy birthday to Adam for Monday, hope he has a lovely day!!

george32 · 08/10/2005 13:42

You mean you can still stand up from crouching DQ
I flail around til someone helps me

Sleepover is starting once DP gets back from picking them up - argh!!!

sweetheart · 08/10/2005 14:39

hello,

sorry to worry you DQ!! I'm fine - just very tired. I was hoping for a lay in this morning after 2 nights out but fil was round at the crack of dawn to do garden again so I've been on swimming run and b'day party run etc etc

Dh has just taken dd out for a few hours so I can get some sleep and guess what - SIL has phoned to say she's popping over. Still I don't mind - Any excuse to cuddle her tiny baby

tummy ache has gone - I think it was probably the effects of eating either too much or not enough or something like that!!!!

Hope everyone is well - just trying to spend the rest of the weekend chilling out - although dh and I did go and buy the wallpaper for our bedroom earlier so I might have to start planning hte last phase of our DIY marathon!!

ninah · 08/10/2005 17:26

hello I just went for a walk too!
but first THANK YOU THANK YOU to my very thoughtful secret stork who bought a lovely winter jacket for baby (since ds was a Sept baby had nothing like this the right size) as well as some chocs - well they'll be for me! and a small teddy which ds has appropriated. What a lovely lovely present and it was beautifully wrapped as well. I am going mad now trying to think which of you it is!
Sorry you've been a bit off colour sh. I've had tummy aches too and generally feeling v big and uncomfortable, expat yes, feet, yes, not good. Also not as much kicking as usual maybe we're just worn out.
Expected p back tomorrow for chat but have just seen his car outside pub so now tense again. Hell.

Nemo666 · 08/10/2005 17:47

Evening all

Ninah..hope it goes well with p tommorow hun

Browny thanks hun will try to catch you later xxx

Well the visits were not too bad. My mum brought adam a ton of presents which he has already opened..lol Although he has all his cards for monday but she wanted to see him open some things which is fair enough. They stayed a couple of hours which is bearable and has even offered to buy us new sofas...our really are bad but obviously no way we can afford to replace them so she has offered as my bday and xmas present..so am going to do a online search and sepak to dh friend who works for dfs or someone similair about getting a discount.
Then my friend came which was lovely as havent seen her and her daughter in ages. I actually met her on here last year but she loves round the corner. Then she went back to full time work so dont get as much time to meet up..however she told me today she is going part time and is just waiting to be given a date..woo hoo

ninah · 08/10/2005 19:17

Glad today went well nems! sounds like good news about your friend too!

dramaqueen72 · 09/10/2005 10:29
