Thought for those of us who are on holiday I would section off a bit of the Staff Room for general layabouts

The rest of you no peeking over the partition and snarling at our laid back week

NOT ROFL!!!!

Seriously though.....dh is an identical twin so just a one off rather than family history. I DO worry about how many twins are on my side, all boyo/girl twins AND my very good tarot reader who I've used for 10 yrs told me one time that I'd be having boy/girl twins in the future (not knowing my history....in fact, she told me how far the history was and I had to check with my mum who said yes, she's right). This recent reading she said it didn't come out specifically as twins, just that we'll deffo have 3 children and one will deffo be a girl. Dh's reaction is NO WAY would we be going for number 3 so IF we had 3 it would be because we had no choice and it's twins!!

I know I'd love them if I was having twins but seriously....god it would really bugger things up having 2. We really need me to be able to keep the same level on income and that's why we didn't ttc until we knew ds would deffo be classed as an over 5 by the time it was born!!!

You saying stuff like that isn't going to help me get back to sleep you know!!!

Henni rescues SM, locks the door to this imposters staffroom and runs off with the key. All Fuses have been removed from the appropriate appliances so you can't cook, make tea etc and all mobile phones, landline phones, computers, blackberries etc have been confisgated. SM, myself and any other workers will flush these imposters out.


Although I may have to join you next week as DD3 is still vomiting so I may be force to close for the whole week.

Poor dd - still vomiting

LT as your pregnant you may be allowed bacon butties! but will make sure you have a wholesome if not plain diet, the others I'm afraid will have to live on dry crackers and cabbage soup that myself or SM will deliver after our jobs/chores/children have gone. Imagine the smell eurgh.

Yes, still vomiting, managing to stay out of hospital by the skin of her teeth I think!

I'm childminding my own dd for the rest of the week, does that count? Maybe not, she's 12, but I will need love and support, dh is off all week and knocking a wall out between new extension and house. I may need beef extract to keep my strength up!
