Morning all.............

This weeks resolution for me is to get off my bum and organise my life.

Scooter you were right first time! It's just that the spelling was wonky- thought you were teasing that nobody every got my name right.

MA is in Library Stuff. Already have an MA in Literature and Psychoanalysis. I'm starting a collection. Going to do a PhD next.

All I can say is, SOH, Help me...........

I hope you are not knocking Emily? It's top of our girls list at the moment.
Emélie Jorja and for a boy we have Henri Jorge or ds really likes Charlie Jorge. Our surname is only 3 letters and rhymes with an infectious disease. Oh and is a variety of apple, so it's quite hard to put a name with it. I love Poppy for a girl but can you imagine.

Big hugs Lupins, glad he's feeling a little better and has got it off his chest. It's important to talk it through.

I can count on 1 hand the number of people who have pronounced my name correctly after hearing me 'tell them' what it is. This is not them reading it incorrectly. I say it to them and they get it wrong....arghhh

Hey Lupins - I'm having a bit of a rough time at the mo with DH so I know how hard it is. He is very low and I deal with it badly which makes him worse. He gets bad seasonal depression but had it in Australia so with all the sun back home we aren't going to try one of the lamps here as I don't think it will help. It helps to be able to check a few physiological things off the list. Low blood pressure can cause a constant low level depression, as can food intolerances so we are getting both checked.

Add counselling to that and I guess that's a good way to approach it. I wish you all the luck in the world because you both deserve it xx

LOL @ FSF. Poppy Orange-Pippins???

Hey, I just realised that this lovely spa is about 5 minutes walk from my house. AND the beauty treatments are cheaper than the place I go to in the City.

VERY much doubt I can afford to join, but hey. Getting an occasional manicure there will be enough. Can probably convince DH to get me the pregnancy pamper day package before Aoife comes along!

THREAD HIJACK BACK *

TYG - SORRY !!! CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I, TOKENTOTTY DID IN FACT GO SHOPPING ON SATURDAY!!!

BTW, NOT IN THE OFFICE TODAY AS WENT ON AN OFF-ROADING LANDROVER DAY SO HAVE BEEN TRUCKING (MILDLY) IN THE MUD. BACK IN TOMORROW....

RETURNS HIJACKED THREAD TO RIGHTFUL OWNERS WITH SINCERE APOLOGIES

[BLUSH]

Hmm. The polite thing to do if you've never heard soemone's name before and you're not sure if you'll pronounce it right, is, I think, to repeat it and ask if you have repeated it correctly. Am I right?

It's incredibly rude just to wade in and say it wrong. Repeatedly.

I have a HUGE problem with remembering names. It's SO rude. I know it is and yet when I'm introduced to people, I repeat their names, I say, "Lovely to meet you, X." and I still forget the name instantaneously.

It's a social handicap.

That was my friend hijacking the tread, btw! I hijacked her antenatal thread yesterday to scold her about something!

my dad used to make me laugh cuz if he'd forgotton a mans name hed call the MATE and if he had forgotton a womens name he would call them LOVE used to have us giggling cuz we all new he had forgotton

I would do the same lillaura, but unfortunately it doesn't go down too well when you call the company's billionaire clients "love". Paricularly not on the phone.

Does your friend always shout that loud TYG? Did you scream at her yesterday too.

She's just been given a new Apple computer by her DH. I expect she can't find the CAPSLOCK button, since she's usually a PC user.

She's jealous of our thread too, because it's SO much chattier than the August one.

Perhaps she was shouting to cover up how envious she is?

that and May babies are the best!!! well they are fashionable at the moment - here anyway

Tch.....rumbled. My thread envy (and obviously May delivery envy) overfloweth....

(apologies for earlier shouting - have now mastered the tricky caps lock function)

Didn't they tell you at your last scan that your dates are WAY out and you're actually due in May?

Oooh, erm....yes ! That was it. Definitely due in May and not August the doctor said. Big error on their part. I'm possibly a little on the small side for six months but well within the parameters obviously

LOL

As it happens, there are some skinnymalinks on this thread who have only just started wearing maternity wear. (We try to ignore them! )

I think you'd fit in just fine.

Eh ?? In that case I'm probably bigger than them as am definitely most comfortable in my NEW maternity stuff. I've got a proper big belly on me (which obviously has nothing at all to do with my new-found love of Haagen Daaz strawberry shortcake ice cream).

Ooh, yum. No wonder you take the ice-cream to bed!

Gotta go. Getting the forest removed from my legs and bikini line in anticipation of wearing my maternity tankini in Spain next week.

Please do - don't want you scaring my neighbours....!!

Am around this evening if you want to mail me and will try and go through some stuff for the weekend etc. If not, catch you tomorrow

xx

Lupins - was feeling all when I read your first post and was about to post that I'd echo what Scooter and SOH have said. Then I saw your later post and am glad to see that things are better and working out for you. Keep talking - that's the key. Men do have a tendency to bottle things up. Just keep doing what you're doing so that your DH feels comfortable enough to open up and talk about things.

TYG - those blokes you work with sound like a right bunch of interfering old biddies! They always seem to be sticking their noses in and commenting on everything you do - I admire how you refrain from telling them to push off and mind their own business!!

god i could cry - and for no reason - lack of sleep i think - want to hibernate !!!!!!! any one else???

Felt like that yesterday but went to bed at 9pm and have felt much better for it today.

yeah tried that will do 2nite too but keep waking - think its worry over OC blood tests i had cant believe i have to wait a week for results!!!!!!! hope i get some sleep in the meantime

night ladies - got chores then bed for me spk in the morning!!!!
