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 DQ, I've measured again & I can get it to 9 if I measure round my bum!!

Nemo, can you scrape the cream off & just have the rest of the trifle? Seems a shame to waste it.
I might have to make one for later, I can't stop thinking about trifle now!

sweetheart · 11/10/2005 12:56

I open a pot of cream on Sunday to use with our pudding and I will be using the rest of it tonight to make our dinner if that makes you feel any better Nemo!

I say..... eat it!! But only if you don't blame me if it makes you sick

Nemo666 · 11/10/2005 13:04

bubblepop · 11/10/2005 13:08

Thanks sweetheart for inviting me in! Im a new girl so I hope you are all going to be nice to me! Well this internet malarky is certainly addictive is'nt it? when are you all due in dec? im due 28th, but they allways seem to come a litle early so u can bet i'll b there xmas day!

kangel · 11/10/2005 13:32

Hi Ladies,

Am back in the office today after my dreaded cold which had me passing out and being sick, anyway am nearly better - still have my dizzy spells but am on the mend.

Had my scan today and was given the all clear, there is nothing wrong with bubs kidneys and the doc didn't know why the previous person made such a fuss when I was within the normal limits to start with. I guess they better safe than sorry hey! Anyway at the moment it weights around 3lbs and should be about 7lbs when born so a small one.....yey!!!! We resisted finding out about the sex so thats it now 9 weeks and we should know all!!!

Must skip back and catch up on all the gossip, although think I will avoid the stitches bit after glanzing at your post SH!

sweetheart · 11/10/2005 13:41

bubblepop - welcome to the thread - so glad you decided to come across and join us - and DQ will be so glad to have another mummy on her 4th!!!!

You can find out a little bit more about us all (without having to trawl all the thread) here on the STATS thread

I hope you like it here - we are all very friendly

Kangel - great to have you back, sorry about that conversation I'll be on my best behaviour from now on

OP posts:
kangel · 11/10/2005 13:51

SH it wouldn't be the same if you behaved!!!

Bubblepop - welcome to this wonderful friendly thread!!!

george32 · 11/10/2005 13:53

Welcome to the thread Bubblepop & congratulations to you.
I think we are a pretty friendly bunch (although a bit grumpy at times, esp when our bodies start creaking! ) I'm pretty close to you as I'm due on 29th Dec.

Kangel, I'm so pleased to hear that your scan went well. You must be so relieved. What great news.
DQ, isn't your scan soon too?

kangel · 11/10/2005 14:40

Thanks George - I am relieved, still think its a boy though so if its a girl its a bonus, if its a boy it wont make a difference as have been calling it my little boy for months now just in case!

When is your scan DQ?

dramaqueen72 · 11/10/2005 14:46

very sweet, sh! welcome to the new people, the conversations aren't always about stiches and cracked nipples
stayed home today, felt awful when the alarm went off at 6am, had had about 2hrs sleep all night.....haven't managed a nap today but haven't done too much so feel a bit rested at least.
dh currently cooking dinner, so not much for me to do tonight, thank goodness.
What's Southend like to visit, ok for the day?

dramaqueen72 · 11/10/2005 16:48

sweetheart · 11/10/2005 17:00

dq - it wasn't until I checked the age of her youngest on our stats thread I relised it wasn't you. But I did wonder if you'd "tweeked" the age to preserve your identity!! Also threw me that you'd decided on a home birth - my powers of detection are a bit off at the moment

Do any of you ladies live around Yorkshire / Lincs??????

MY SECRETSTORK your work colleague is an arse. Now that narrows it down slightly. You are not dq or nemo. Will be searching for those of you with irritating colleagues! My money happens to be on George even though you haven't mentioned a pest at work.
I love what you chose. The chocs are long gone but the jacket is impeccable taste and like I say, ds is quite excited about the teddy.
It was the high point of my weekend. Thanks

dramaqueen72 · 11/10/2005 17:08

LOL nemo, shall I just forward my recipe collection to you
calzone-will get round to writing it out soon. i do make my pizza dough i the breadmachine tho, so i 'cheat'!
