Acey Maverick is a doll! Lilah is our very first black kitty so it's been a trip. We keep losing her easily. In black chairs, in black shelves lol

Your tree is to die for!

PSB That sounds fantastic! We need something like that for young teens lol

fluffy I hope you aren't too bruised from the blood work. I bleed like a stuck pig and always turn lovely yellow and greens

Mrs I love your tree and the window decs!

woolly I'd love some gin right about now hahah

It should be about 8:30 pm your time right now? My appointment with the lady went well. She was nice and soon I'll have a helper in my home three times a week which will be GREATLY appreciated.

I ended up not painting and decided I'd finish my tea towel cross stitch instead. So painting will happen tomorrow lol

Mrsmadevans · 28/11/2018 20:35

In my defense I got very little sleep last night being a cat bed. Lilah kept moving around and hitting me in the face hahaha

NerosFiddle · 28/11/2018 20:46

PhilomenaButterfly · 28/11/2018 20:55

She says she's a bit "meh" Mrs. She'll go to school tomorrow though. It's individual and sibling photo day, and she's got brass club. 😊

AceyMac13 · 28/11/2018 21:00

Haven’t caught up yet as just running a bath.
There’s a private scan place down the road from me, who have an offer on at the moment. A 4d scan with 4 pictures €30 instead of €90. I couldn’t resist and have booked one Grin any excuse to see my wee princess Addie again Grin

WheelchairWoes · 28/11/2018 21:04

Mrs It's because she's the cute baby she gets away with it!

We did weigh her today an I have new. At just 4 months and 3 days old (18 weeks old) Lilah is no longer underweight! She is now 4lbs 5 oz and I'm so happy with her.

PSB Tell daughter I hope she wakes up 100% better since we know she really wants to go

Acey When is the scan for? I wanted one of those so bad in my last pregnancy lol you'll have to share pics

Mrsmadevans · 28/11/2018 21:13

Ahh PSB she is a good girl Flowers
Acey you are addicted to Addie Xmas Grin good to see you already love her so much Smile
Whely wonderful news about Lilah bless her little cotton sox!
Must go , got to cook DD2 tea, she has just come in from work, it is chicken,peppers, tomatoes and rice and rice noodles and lots of pad thai all stir fried with soy sauce , she loves it !!
See you all in a bit toodle pip!

NerosFiddle · 28/11/2018 21:14

Acey that is an amazing price. When I was looking it was about €180 Shock

PhilomenaButterfly · 28/11/2018 21:15

Wheelie she made a little "hmmm" noise with an enigmatic smile. 😆

PhilomenaButterfly · 28/11/2018 21:16

Sleep tight Mrs

firefly Santa Train. I'm jealous as heck! Ours is Friday but husband will be at work so we can't go :( I'm a bit sad about missing it.

I couldn't get onto it anyway but the kiddos would have loved it

fluffy I love seeing trees twinkling from windows! It makes me so happy!

6:30 pm here. I'm still hanging out and y'all are going to bed but here's my chanukah table lol

AceyMac13 · 29/11/2018 06:05

Morning!
Running on less than an hours sleep,and had a text from my drs saying he’s moved the appointment til next week Sad
Praying the midwife may be able to help.
Will catch up later as not functioning very well at the moment.
Have a grand day everyone

Morning!

Sorry to hear you didn't sleep and that your appointment has moved, Acey. Your GP texts you at funny times though!

My Friday today. Wooooo!

Tomorrow is school run, town, cleaning, shopping, school run! Oh, and the school Christmas fair at 5pm. Lots of to-ing and fro-ing to school tomorrow!

OP posts:
AceyMac13 · 29/11/2018 07:04

Just got to work, struggling to stay awake 😂

I think it’s an automated system that changes when the dr updates his calendar fluffy. School Christmas fair sounds fun :)

Right, better get to work as I’m finishing early to see the midwife at 11.30.

Have a grand day everyone Smile

FireflyGirl · 29/11/2018 07:06

Yep, NYMR. We did it last year and enjoyed it so booked again this year. How sad is it that I'm jealous of your plans to spend tomorrow cleaning, Fluffy? I really want to get the house sorted before the decorations go up, but we're just so busy now, until the big day!

Does your 🎅 🚆 (I prefer Fluffy's train emoji to mine!) only run one day, Wheelie, or is that just the one local to you? Wouldn't they help you on? The one we're going on is an old Hogwarts Express style steam engine, which wasn't designed for wheelchairs but I'm sure that legally they have to make it as accessible as possible, including providing assistance on and off.

If your GP surgery texted you that early to say your appointment was cancelled, Acey, they must have known last night! I'm Angry for you. Did you say you've booked the 4D scan? I must say, I was never tempted.

DH's work friends put their tree up yesterday - it's RuPaul's Drag Race themed. We'd never watched it, so DH held me hostage by rubbing my feet and put it on. I dislike bitchy people, so found it uncomfortable viewing. I was also very disappointed there was no actual drag racing! Then I ended up dreaming about it!

Last day of November tomorrow... Xmas GrinXmas Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 29/11/2018 07:17

I think it's funny that you're jealous, Firefly. And yes, we are just ridiculously busy between now and Christmas. If I didn't have Fridays off I'm not sure how I'd fit it all in, quite frankly. Though I'm sure I probably would really! I always do somehow.

I've not even heard of that show. From your description, I'm not missing anything!

We did the NYMR trip in the summer and saw the posters for the Santa train. We travel to one in the Lakes (the kids love the hotel stay almost as much as the train trip!). We're glossing the woodwork in the hall, stairs and landing the Friday we're staying in the hotel, as the kid won't be in the house too long with tacky paint and won't have any need to go upstairs in between getting home and going out again (downstairs bathroom!). Still so much to bloody do! 😂

I sometimes get texts at odd times about hospital appointments, it has to be said. The physio is calling me today. Next step on the NHS journey! I was in so much pain yesterday; it's miserable. 😢
