'Due in the new year the next generation - who ate all the pies'

[Bettymamma]

I hope you all find this. I'll write a proper message once I see it works!xx

I was wondering (since I am clearly so bored) that all these Mnetters that do meet ups do they call each other by their real names or their nicknames when they meet in the flesh.

Lillyloo- this was M+S that told me that and where i bought the bra's !
Mixedmamma - i am in the middle of doing 2 business plans, one for a term time nursery and one for full day care. My idea at the moment would be to do term time and maybe expand in time? Have to see if its viable though!
I keep in touch with some girls i met on a website when i got married, we started a whole different site andhave now ben friends for 7 years! I am godmother to my friends son! Was weird meeting up at first, but now do it all the time,and live all over the country! (did feel weird and geeky at first i suppose! )

Motherofz - whey not at this time of life? How long owuld it take to qualify?

I suppose to begin with they will introduce themselves by thier MN name and them ask real names.
Has anyone joined MN on FACEBOOK? Got pictures and more info on MN members there.

really should slow down when i type...spelling...humph!

Really - didnt know about that MotherofZ... getting very excited about wasting more of my day.

embarassing question time....
do any of you get a real sharp stabbing pain low at the front of your tummy when you need a number 2?

MN on facebook!! - well thats my work productivity levels gone out the window. I interchange between facebook and MN all day.

I'd get really confused if we used real names and not nicknames. I get easily confused at the best of times.

Just had lunch at V&A museum - There were about 50 mums there with very young babies. Thinking it was an NCT meeting - there was a lot of crying (from the babies - not the mums).

mixedmamma- whats stopping you re the wedding planner biz?

lol - we are a completly bored bunch!
Anymore useless things to discuss? How many times a week do you wash DD or DS clothes? lol

Beller - what I meant was that to do a PGCE you need to take 1 year out full time for studying and placement. If I was to go back to University I want to be able to devote myself fully, but right now I don't think I wil be able to with a DD who's 19 mths and one on the way. Maybe when DD is about 5 years and at school (i.e no more nursery fees etc) then I will do it.

Are you a little constipated Beller?

The baby goes mental and kicks ALOT when I've done a number 2 if that helps.

How many times do you actually wash dd or ds?

gosh are we THAT bored! twice!

You could be here ironing
What we calling the next thread ? Not many posts left on here!

How do I find MN on facebook??

bettymamma- yes i have suffered a bit with that! I gave in to some Andrews today...what a relief...(sorry tmi !)

Motherofz- I get you!! might be a tad on the busy side!

try doing a search in FACEBOOK, for Mumsnet - should come up.

How about 'Due in the New Year - waddling our way past the half way mark' as the title for a new thread or something else???!!

MotherofZ - I like it!

hiya i sort of joined in the very begginng but have not been on for a while im due 12th january and have a ds who's 3 in october. Have just started to feel the baby kick which is good as i was beginng to think i had just eaten too many pies.Have my 5mth scan to look forward to next week can't wait not sure wheter to find out the sex or not. Is anyone else going to?

Mum2sam, I'll be asking about the sex when I have my 20 wk scan. It just seems wrong to keep calling it, well, it. And as for having a surprise at the end, I'm pretty sure that being handed a squalling baby will be enough of a surprise for one day. Bugger what flavour it is.

Sx

oh blimey - look at the message counter. Well spotted Lilyloo.
Like the new thread name MotherofZ

I totally agree Scampynoodle. Didn't with my dd and wish i had for practical reasons.

Be prepared as the cubs/guides/brownies say!

ps can you not call it 20 weeks scan cos you'll upset mixedmama and I - how about 20 and some more weeks scan!!

Hi mum2sam- Im not going to find out I dont think...although as i get closer im wavering....

Wow you have been bussy since I have been scoffing scampi and chips mmmm.

MotherofZ - great name for a thread.

bettymamma - yes the 20 weeks + scan if you please compulsory icon everytime scans are mentioned.

if we are in agreement, does someone want to set the new thread up??
don't know how to paste a link for the new one into this old one???
