Morning all

I've had to close due to bug But at least it means I have time to come on here .

Thanks for brownies mumlove And also for the link, just put it on and waiting to hear her come on!

I've got midwife coming for home visit at some point later, she's delayed the time due to attending home birth last night and being shattered - at least it means she can tell me about it as I want to hear all about her experience in case she's the one who comes out if I get my home birth

Hope I'm listening to the right think on the bbc website - Katymac still not on yet

How's crace? - not long now!!! Are you around today?

mumlove · 16/05/2008 10:17

They are talking to a childminder now, but I couldn't get the link to work for todays so put sky on instead.

I was enjoying listening to that with her lovely soft voice (you sound lovely Kate!!!) and then all of a sudden I had an Argos delivery, a phone call immediately after (thought I was a nanny agency!) and then a friend turned up to drop something off. Finally got back to it and it had just finished!!! Hopefully I can listen to it later?

mumlove · 16/05/2008 10:35

Wonderful Katy, You are a star

Argh I missed it!!! What was it about?

Had to go out and get dd's sibling gift and some Granny bribery gift for when I go in next Friday. I ended up buying ridiculous amounts - feeling guilty much?

Well, this time next week I should have had the baby. Yikes, gulp, FREAK OUT. You will all have to bear with me, anxiety is such a small word for the utter panic

mumlove · 16/05/2008 11:41

Crace - I think you will have to wait until tomorrow and then you can listen again here

Hi all! Please tell me there are some brownies left and you've not had them all!! I really really want one!! Maybe it's a craving so I better have one :O

One mindee today (usually day off) and we've been out this morning, had lunch and now mindee asleep so I'm having lunch and catching up!

Had after school mindee at 7am this morning. I'm not doing after next week if I'm asked!! It's too stressful for me and dd and dh wasn't best pleased either

crace · 16/05/2008 12:57

LT - pmsl at sieve, sorry. Ah, the dignity of childbirth.

This time next week LT I should have babe in arms. And morphine. A lot of it.

Thanks ML for the link!

Hi boys! Gathering lists together for MIL for the dc routines (or lack thereof) and favourites. As I have to walk her through this for the first time it occurs to me I should have gone out more. Over protective?? ME???

Hey PC!

Shoshe · 16/05/2008 12:59

my tyre bew on the way to school this morning! was ok just up the road (still on camp 15mph limit so safe) so called DH, he came up in his crappy old car, I transfered the schoolies into DH car as well as friend who comes with me. left the SAHmindees with DH watching DVD in car.

Now my big Bongo is automatic, his crappy old car is a manual, with a manual choke.

I flooded it!

Friend drives it, reving the gears the whole way, it was like someting from Thelma and Louise, the schoolie girls thought it was soooooooooooo funny.

We made it to school in time tho

PinkChick · 16/05/2008 13:24
