Shagged Out Viroids Volume 4. Over here!!

[nickelbabe]

ooops, got a bit carried away there.....

sign in everyone!
let's hope we get some new graduates on here too!

Ooh, that sounds really lovely and cosy! Lots of fake snow on the windows, and a cosy fireplace inside - lovely!

It's annoying that I can't remember the title of that book! I had a look for it, but DS has it somewhere in his bombsite of a room. I think it's called something like "The Very Snowy Christmas" (actually, I just went and Googled it to check, and that is what it's called!) and it's lovely. We also watch The Snowman and Father Christmas, and curl up with hot blackcurrant drinks before bed. It's funny as I don't remember any real traditions when I was little, but it feels so special for us now.

Hello! Tis me, Katee, have decided in the spirit of mixing things up a bit to namechange for a while...

Plans for the window sound good... what does POS mean though?

Looking forward to this Christmas, is going to be fun!

ooh, strange name...
what's it about? :)
(you should put a status on it to say who you're normally)

POS means "point of sale" - it's usually used to mean the posters and flyers and props that you use for displays.

I wasn't sure what POS meant either, but I guessed it was something like that!

It's funny that this Christmas will be our last as a little threesome before Bean makes an appearance. My DS was a December baby though, and it was just lovely having him home for his first Christmas. Really special. Bean isn't due until 7 February.

Hey-ho, time to wash up and then get DS organised for homework.

sorry, jargon

we're finding it strange that this christmas we'll have another family member.
we were on the settee last night, one cat on DH's lap, one on mine, and DH went "aww, our little family" and I thought, yes, but it's about to get bigger!
we did feel all cosy when I said that.

Its a character from Terry Pratchett's discworld books, he's an priest who always seems in two minds about everything, felt an empathy there

How do you do the status thing, I couldn't figure it out?!

you go to your profile page, and there's a box marked "status" or "description" or something like that.
you jsut type it in the box.
it means having to make your profile public, but you don't have to put anything else in.

it's not on your profile page, it's on your registration details.
which means you don't have to make your profile public.

Sorted - is that better?

lovely

worrying about my friend today.
she was passing blood clots in the night, and appears to be miscarrying.
at the moment she's not actively bleeding, but she says she thinks it's all out and that's why.
I am so :( for her.
I wish I could go to her and help :(

Oh dear how far along is she and has she managed to get a scan booked?

she was about7 weeks, so very early.
they've booked her for a scan tomorrow afternoon, because they didn't have any spaces till then :(
and annoyingly, the place she has to go for the scan is the same place as women having abortions. she's totally cut up.

So sorry about your friend nickel. That's so sad.

i know.
and all the time she was talking to me on the phone, she kept asking me how I was, how I was coping with the heat etc.
and apologising for being sad! :(
I just want to hug her.

Fingers crossed for your friend this afternoon Nickel, I hope its not too traumatic xx

I do too.
She's just texted to say she's got 2 hours left to wait.
:(

just got a text from friend to say that they've foudn a heartbeat and a sac, so it's alive!

I'm so happy, but I'm :( that she had to go through an awful 2 days.

she's sent another one - apparently it was wriggling all over the place "it's going to be grounded as soon as it comes out"

Glad there was a happy ending

Good news Nickel, I used to love doing the Christmas window

Great new name, I love that character! I'm usually a procrastinator but my new thing is being decisive so offering on a house next week after we have been talking about moving for 2 years and 1st sitting of my new tattoo is booked for this Thursday

7th is a great day as my birthday eve

well done on not procrastination (but don't be too decisive, you don't want to make decisions you regret!)

I told friend that the rest of her pregnancy had better be straight-forward and boring!

Fabby news about your friend nickel! That must have been so traumatic though. I hope it all goes smoothly for her now!

DP has taken DS out for a while today, so I'm still in my dressing gown and feeling a bit stuffed with croissants! My bump appears to have shrunk today though, so I'm hoping he'll pop back out again soon.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

I knwo, I just can't imagine what she went through :(

I like the sounds of lazy day
I sooo wanted one of those when I got up this morning. I have been reconciled by the fact that it's been a avery busy day - quite a few high value purchase

How are you both doing? I'm now officially off work until next September, bit teary yesterday, partly as I'll be coming back to a new boss and my old one was lovely, but soooooo glad not to have sit in that boiling office any longer! Today has so far consisted of reflexology and baking
