Ice, those dwarves were lying when they said I was a filthy bitch who would do owt for a fiver; it was six quid. Here is Tyrion Lannister the dwarf

Liberuna, go for the role which allows you the most time with your baby when you go back. You will not regret it, even if it's the most boring job in the world.

Foxy, I am most concerned that you have never heard of these largely ubiquitous brands. I know you live up them there Lakes but still...why do you have no idea about make-up? Are you a hippy? Or a feminist? Or preternaturally pulchritudinous? Thanks for asking about my plans for the weekend: I will be waiting in for the 'jointer' from Open Reach to come and fix my bastard line fault as he was 'too busy' to come today. I have abused Sky in the most vicious manner (I surprised even myself) and am being compensated for my inconvenience. Fucking right, you ineffectual turds.

Apprentice, congratulations! An anterior placenta (which Hottie and I have) is entirely separate from a low-lying placenta (which *RockChick has). Low-lying placentas require caesareans because to force a baby out vaginally will cause hemorrhaging. Have we already established why you have not joined the Martians on facebook?

My Asian taxi driver, Ibrahim, reliably informs me I am having a boy. That's good enough for me; he's had at least fourteen.

Why has my GP prescribed only one measly bottle of Gaviscon? The twisted Lebanese bastard.

1 day of babysitting and I'm knackard! Great fun though.

I've just seen a letter that my DP wrote to the baby and put in our baby book. I wrote one after our scan yesterday and he must have done his when I went to bed. It's times like this I'm reminded what an absolute catch he is and that I really shouldn't nag as much as I do!

He's going to be such an amazing dad. He wrote:

You are going to be the most loved and looked after little girl on the planet. You are very special. You mean the world to mum and me and I love you very much. P.S, the name we have chosen for you is super cool and it means meaning given. All of the family are overjoyed and we cant wait to meet you. Love Dad. xxx

He is getting smooched to death when he gets home Grin

GameOfPrams · 18/10/2013 17:28

Hottie, Gina Ford would box your ears. It is highly likely you have ruined this child's life with your cavalier attitude to routine. Tsk!

BlockPramette · 18/10/2013 17:29

Thanks Maybe I will mention it on Monday.

OMFG! Will whoever is sticking burning hot needles into my voodoo dolls nipples stop it! It KILLS! where did that come from all of a sudden!

GameOfPrams · 18/10/2013 17:40

Stephie, this mission of yours, what does it involve? If you need a recipe for fudge, I'm your girl.

Becca, what does your job involve?

GameOfPrams · 18/10/2013 17:41

Block, what is the meaning of your name change? Sort it. Pronto.

Blockette · 18/10/2013 17:44

haha! spoil sport!

GameOfPrams · 18/10/2013 17:44

Hottie, that is well-cute. My husband wrote this:

Dear baby, please be a boy; I couldn't stand to have a creature that's anything remotely like your mother. Oh, and please try not to come out ginger.

Dad

P.s..I hope to fuck you like fudge.

MummyPig24 · 18/10/2013 17:49

Hot that is soooooo sweet!

A week tomorrow my first born baby will be 6. I reminded him and the look on his face was priceless, he was ecstatic!

Pramalamadingdong · 18/10/2013 18:06

What an amazing wordsmith your husband is, pram...

FoxMulder · 18/10/2013 18:14

I don't need makeup Pram I'm naturally beautiful! Grin

Nah, just never got into all that girly stuff like makeup and hair and dresses and my little ponies, or whatever you female types like.

I'm too lazy for it all. You're lucky if I dry my hair before leaving the house. No chance of plastering makeup on.

MummyPig24 · 18/10/2013 18:28

Bloody hell, this evening was going so well until dh decided to bath the kids. Bubbles everywhere and he starts blowing them across the bathroom, kids get excited, dd drinks too much bath water and pukes in the bath. Dh thinks he's just going to get the kids out without showering them, an argument ensues. I've retreated downstairs with the cat.

MCPrammer · 18/10/2013 18:34

Evening ladies. Have namechanged and it feels weird.

apprenticemamma · 18/10/2013 18:49

gameofprams tis both anterior and low lying, cos I is special! as u rightly say it's blocking the exit hence 34 week scan might indicate c section but only in 10% of cases.

hottie your man is amazing!! I like the idea of letters to baby and might well copy you ....though I think my dhs letter would be similar to prams Smile

pram I'm on fb but haven't joined you all yet as hadn't announced pregnancy to everyone.

In fact had a horrible experience , on a private family group on fb my cousin congratulated me last week. Following which my estranged sister(who had ignored any texts offering a reconciliation and a nursery photo given to her of ds) had a public go at me (I hadn't told her, think she lost the right to our private news for a number of reasons including financial betrayal and nasty attitude). She then sent nasty texts to our parents and caused a shit storm Angry Angry Sad Sad . She's 40 btw!! The family issues have been part of trigger for my stress and low moods and I and my 70 yr old parents do not need this.

Anyway i just texted my sisters and clarified why I hadn't told them yet (total disinterest in my life and general vindictiveness). Told them not to reply unless they want to share in happiness .... no reply surprise surprise Shock !

sorry got sidetracked but some of this stuff has cast s recent nasty shadow on what should be a happy time. I feel better just for writing it down though.

So how d I get on fb group, can I search for it?

and announced on fb so happy to join, send me the link please?

apprenticemamma · 18/10/2013 18:51

prammer time!!

PramChowder · 18/10/2013 18:58

Helllloooooo!

apprentice do join us!

MCPrammer · 18/10/2013 18:58

Apprentice, it's a private group so only members can see it. Congrats on your baby girl, btw, and sorry your sisters are stressing you out.

Hot, your husband sounds like a keeper Smile

GameOfPrams · 18/10/2013 19:03

I am howling at MCPrammer! (doo-doo-doo-doo..can't touch this..) Loving Pramalamadingdong, too Grin

Apprentice, I remember we spoke about your sisters and you had a really healthy attitude regarding folks who weren't enriching your life ie. fuck them. I'm sorry the twisted one has caused more grief. Don't dwell; she is clearly an unhappy lady and you are lovely and funny. To join the Martians (private) facebook group you need to PM GreyMoose with your fb link or summat. See you there...

Foxy, it is largely lesbians, feminists, hippies or the inexorably ugly who don't bovver wiv make-up, but I shall give you the benefit of the doubt when you say you are a natural beauty. I, myself, am fucking stunning and don't even require hair

Beccadugs · 18/10/2013 19:05

Thoroughly confused... Hoping all the new prams are as entertaining as the original...

Scan was good. Lobster did not like being poked with the wand. It kept turning its back...

For someone who asked about my job, I don't want to go into too much detail as its fairly specific/unique and I've been a bit rude about my boss. Suffice to say I used to have a lot of independence and trust and the atmosphere has really changed.

GameOfPrams · 18/10/2013 19:06

I love PramChowder! But who are you all, really?

MCPrammer · 18/10/2013 19:07

I, myself, am fucking stunning and don't even require hair

Grin

Becca, did you not want to find out the sex?

MCPrammer · 18/10/2013 19:09

We are you devoted followers, O GameofPrams Grin
I suggest you look at FB for identification purposes.

FoxMulder · 18/10/2013 19:20

But I am an inexorably ugly lesbian feminist hippy! And I love it.

PramChowder · 18/10/2013 19:25

Mwhahahaha you will never discover my true identity!

Lyra I don't know what you are on about but has got me howling!

apprentice I'm so sorry your horrid sister is spoiling what should be a really happy time.

PramChowder · 18/10/2013 19:26

Oh shit I've outed you. Sorry MCPrammer!
