The Wagon Round 2: wonder how many will fall off this time?

[GiraffeYoga]

New Threaad Wagoners!

Yes, I can still make it . Sorry that you can't Nat - I'm sure we'll meet eventually
I'll check my e-mail now CANT and see if your original one came through, if not you may need to resend so that I can let you know my arrival time.

Oh diege, your one hard lady to keep tags on! Haha! Kids would have been super unhappy with me if we'd have had to cancel! I have already sent a second email to you... If you're still getting the same train to Blackpool as you'd have got to Preston I expect you'll arrive shortly after 11am so I'll meet you inside the Blackpool station. You won't miss me with my orange pram and 3 kids!

CANT, your original e-mail has come through (went to 'junk').Have replied, and will confirm arrival time by e-mail in a bit.Have to go as have promised dh a gof . Cd 8 and faint line already on opkso gearing up!

Evening all... Well...............

I got the job yay. They were very impressed with me yesterday apparently and they had such good feed back that they want me to start straight away and do the training while I work... how cool is that..

I feel a bit worried about it though. It is all so new and I don't know what i am doing... I will be doing my NVQ and I am sure I will grasp it quiet quickly but it is the emotional side that I am going to struggle with. I found it a real shock last night as to how young some of the clients are.. It was actually quiet upsetting so I need to try and work out how to switch that side of my brain off and not get too attached to things... I am also quiet worried about the male clients and there needs, I know I will be really embarrassed for a while, how do I not let that show and get the job done!!! eak...

At the same time though I am so excited that i have the chance to help people and to put something back into life, and I really want to grasp this oppotunity with both hands. Once I finish the training I could then specialise which would be fantastic as I could really make a difference to peoples lifes.. oh listen to me what a nerd...

I have to go into the office tomorrow to sort out my police checks and to finalise the arraignments so will know more about it all then....

Wow many congrats BUMPS, that sounds such a great opportunity and I know (my sister works in the field) that,while challenging,it is such a rewarding field to work in.
CANT, have decided to bring my 3 along now (dd1, dd2, dd3) - 4 would be pushing it, but my 3 should be fine on the train and are already asking after your 3 !

Bumps - well done you! Sounds like you will do a fantastic job. I can imagine though that it may be very hard emotionally at times. My cousin works as a physio at a children's hospital for children with permanent and serious disabilities. I wonder how she does it sometimes but the rewards do seem to balance out the heartache.

Diege - hello! Get you to that GOF

Hope you all enjoy your meet up! Is it tomorrow?

It's our 4th wedding anniversary today. As tomorrow is Friday, we're going out for a meal at our favourite restuarant. DH has said he will pay and drive He also got me a couple of chick lit books, some flowers and a card
In the card he wrote "thank you for understanding me". Things have been so much better between us the last few weeks - I think we're understanding eachother a lot better

ah ses congratulations that sounds lovely...

Congratulations Bump, I'm sure it will be tough at times but very worth it. It must be great to know you made such a great impression .

Ses - that's so lovely. It's good DH realises how hard you've been working to give him time and space and be understanding. Enjoy your meal.

great news bump
congrats ses

enjoy cant and diege

off to soft play centre in a mo

hot here again!!

Afternoon Things sound good with dh SES - enjoy your meal today . Hopefully dh mayh himself bring up future ttc plans if you casually refer to said pregnant nct friend again?
Hi TINKS,hope soft play was good,hot here this morning, but black clouds here now , just in time for dd1's school fair...
Hi RUGBY,meant to say that's great about work - dd will be absolutely fine as you know - my eldest 3 did 4 days a week from 4mths,and have turned into very confident, sociable children (although CANT may disagree if they are horrendous tomorrow ).
Bye for now x

Afternoon, DIEGE- just replied to your email, looking forward to meeting your DD's tomorrow! DD1 was asking me about you earlier but now I'll have to let them know there's 3 girls to play with too! She'll be over the moon!

Bump- well done! I'm sure you'll be fab in the job, and as diege says it'll be very rewarding for you!

Afternoon everyone else. Not much time to post as gotta get DS soon!

Arch! Big news! Not only did DD2 cut her 5th tooth the other day (catching up to my nephew who's 27 days older but born full term) but she's just stood up, all on her own in the centre of the living room! OMG she's gonna be a toddler before I know it! She's gonna look so tiny walking! But I'm also getting super excited that she's getting to be like most other babies the same age... Just lots smaller!

That's great news CANT! Looking forward to seeing her - she was the tiniest little thing last time Your e-mail hasn't come throguh yet, but took some time yesterday so will check back later. You may get a call from me if it doesnl;t arrive, just so we know where we're meeting you!

Diege- you can't miss it, just stay on the train till the terminal, only a tiny station and a very small area I can wait in so you honestly won't get lost once off the train.

She still is tiny, just under 19lb's still, still wearing 6-9 clothing! In fact the outfit she'll have on tomorrow is still only 3-6! You'll be able to see how small she is compared to your DS dispite the 4mth age gap!

Is Blackpool North (as opposed to South) the one?. And is the time I mentioned yesterday re: getting in to Blackpool ok? (just in case your e-mail doesn;t arrive)

Yes it's Blackpool north. That's in town, a 5-10min walk from the beach. The time you said you get in is fine, I can be there earlier if you wanted to get here earlier?

Hi CANT - the time I mentioned is fine for us- will give me a chance to get some bits of food from the shops beforehand. I'll give you a ring when we're 20mins away,so that you know we're on schedule.Dds very excited about meeting your 3- they have already decided they's like them to be penpals Dd1 is a real tomboy and keeps on asking if your ds is into match attacks- think she'll have some cards for him! We'll be getting either the 15.45 or the 16.20 home, depending on energy levels!

That's fine by me diege. As far as I'm aware he doesn't know what match attacks is/are... He seemed gutted when I said '3 girls' but cheered up when I explained your DD1 liked boys things like ben10 etc! DD1 for some reason thinks your name is 'thornton' and keeps making me laugh!

I'll leave home for a bus at about 10.45 so I'll hopefully arrive shortly before your train gets in giving waiting time and walking from bus stop to station.

And that sounds about right for home time with energy levels for mine too as we'll then have a bus trip home too.

Really looking forward to morning! Won't sleep! Haha!

Well done on the standing up Ruby! Just think it wasn't long ago your consultant was worrying about her nit crawling, now she'll be walking before you know it!
She must look so tiny though, Fizzy's only 6.5 months old and she's 18lbs already!

Oops, typo I hope she doesn't have a crawling nit!

Honestly am I only the 2nd to post today?

We've just got in from our day at the beach with Diege and her DD's and it's been fab! Kids were all pretty darn good (except DS's meltdown when it was time to get dressed) we had a picnic, went down the pier, then managed to get about an hour paddling time once the tide had gone down!

We're very tired and I'm a tad sunburnt! But it was great!

Diege- hope your trip home was ok and the trains were on time. Will email my address tomorrow so the kids have it.x

Hi CANT! (and everyone else!). Day in Blackpool was fab; we really enjoyed ourselves Missed connection on way back at Preston (the train leaving BP was late after all that rushing!) so back a little later than anticipated, but all fine.DD1 just left with dh to get train to Llandudno, and everyone else watching dr. Who. We must do it again soon! dds haven't talked about anything else since we left Blackpool!
Hope everyone else is ok and have been enjoying the sunshine too

LOL Diege - your DD1 sounds just like my niece - match attacks mad and Ben 10 too! she is quite extreme - wont wear girls clothes, pants, shoes anything!

great that you guys had a good meet up - what fab weather for it!

and Well done to Ruby for standing

It was my birthday yesterday and had my sister and 12 week old nephew who was premature here. he is 10 and a half pounds now! Had a really lovely day. Going shopping tomorrow for birthday treats and lunch in wagamama.
