Hellooooo
Sorry Tinks (and Glask - Tink, you better watch your 'shopping queen crown, think Glask is after it!! ), daren't click all the links, since we had that bug on the 'pooter, DH put McAfee AV on it and it is so bloody slow and crashes every 5th page something else to sort out in the near future!
Diege, that doesn't seem fair? Have you got anything in writing saying 16 weeks full pay? If you have and you feel like it I'd argue the toss with them if it were me.
Kay, hope going back to work isn't quite as hideous as you'd thought.
Kooky, your pregnancy seems to have whizzed by (sure it doesn't feel that way to you!) it's getting very exciting now!!
I am driving tonight so I should actually be getting my arse in gear ('scuse the pun!) and sorting some dinner out for the 3 Amigos, but TBH, I might be very naughty and get DH to do it while I'm driving. Mikey is driving my crazy at the moment, he is so clingy and just won't be put down for a second, am not used to it from him, and feel bad for moaning about it, he's been practically ignored since the day he was born, and he weighs a bloody tonne.... (NB. I don't mean actually ignored, just, well, he just sat there looking all cute and not bothering about anything till feeding time!) (Annnnd did I say he was weighed the week before last? He had his 8 month check, he's gone from just under the 9th centile at birth to just over the 75th now , see, not ignored, just fed!!)
And had a message from my Dad, well not a message as such, a 'friend invite' on FB I haven't seen him, or heard from him since I was 8, except once when I contacted him when I was 14 and he basically took me out for a pub lunch and then I never heard from him again, till now. FB? For goodness sake. Think I might have said he'd had an operation to remove his leg not long ago? It seems he's gone through my sister (who he has a relationship with) and she's been telling him all about us, me, my family, the kids, I am listed on FB with only my married name, he shouldn't know my married name. I didn't want him to know anything about me, the kids, us. It's nothing to do with him. So am -ing like crazy at his bloody cheek to try and contact me through FB, and I am absolutely livid at my sister for telling him about things that are nothing to do with him, or her TBH.
Ahhhh, did I ramble? Probably!
The house is going good guns, the buyers are seeing their mortgage lenders on Thursday, all being well we should be able to get a rough completion date by the end of the week. The is no chain so it should go smoothly-ish! Only problem we have is that if we've not found the house we want to move to for the long term, we're going to have to move into rented around here so I can keep DS1 at his school, instead of risking moving him twice IYKWIM? Have found a lovely barn conversion that'll do in the short term, in fact it's that nice that it would do in the long term, only problem with that is that it doesn't have a garden, it's got a little terrace thing, which will be fine for 6 months over the winter, but come next summer we'll have to be in somewhere with a proper garden. Anyone want a nosy? T'is here
DH is seeing the GP tomorrow for his referral for this op he's got to have, that is just another PITA(or balls ) on top of everything else going on (Sorry DH, that's not very sympathetic is it?!!)
I have no idea how long this has taken me to type, typing one handed is not my best skill! I should have muscles in my arms the size of a melon.
Which reminds me, well done on all the weight loss everyone, knew there was something else!!
Right I am off, don't all cheer at once... Bloody hell, two hours driving, am I wrong to find it really boring? The first hour is fine, but then I just get a bit too comfy I think, mind starts wandering to other stuff and I lose concentration. Not good when you're in charge of a big lump of metal going 50mph on the way home!
