mermaid you have just made a very frazzled Vjay smile, I went from this Confused to this Smile.

mermaidspurse · 23/01/2011 17:41

each day is something like 1 and a half minutes longer every daySmile 1 and a half minutes for qa to be doing something very usefulWink not sure if dolly has extra time for more mischef over there tho?

vjay are the boys ok? so much blinking poorlyness around. We have escaped it, ha done it now haven't I. And for the record I am always waving at the wrong people especially in silver micras, don't ever let your friends buy silver micrasGrin ps I havn't shredded for days and days and days.

moon a hugest hellllloooooooSmile

barbie I have not really lurked much recently but realise that you have a bit of a health concernSad You sound so very strong especially with your rampaging rug ratprincess to contend with. Thinking of you loads.

so I think I have gleemed that louey is longing for some blooming but is ok but knackered and is enjoying a bit of boedecia(sp) type behaviour which is always good.And drink cranberry juice. And so sorry to read about your poor sisSad

budha ace to see you saunter in, huge kiss to that lovely e and hope you get some answers.

curly must have frostbiteGrincurlygirl must be a gorgeous handful now, hope all is ok in the curly household.

sabs a huge hallllloooooo and to the 2 s'sx

blue I am sorry that I missed bens birthday, that time has just whooshed past. I have just found an app - get me - which tries to control my calories Grinthe first day I tried lyingBlush but am now honest and faithfully typing in my nice biscuits 39, flamming calories etc. Just seeing it all listed is a bit shocking anyway I digress. love to the boys and well done on the ryvita front.

monkey Not very good at finding the right words at the moment lovely lady but I always think about you and a big fat gold shiny star for getting through these last few weeks.

neeko wtf is extinction? please please don't tell me this is a new diet that I should be following cos I just know it won't include a nice biscuitGrinHope the girls are all better too.

4ever hello smiley ladyGrin hope you have had a glorious weekend and that summer is full of the joys of movement

which reminded me quickly of cupcake it's the dread of moving everything up a level that I hated. We shall look forward to being bombarded with posts once you have your new laptop lovely lady. Hope that dhs job is all ok and you have no more horrible uncertainty.

mls come on come and have a quick sneeky swig of that saucey looking wine spritzer in the greenhouse, hope you and the girls are ok.

bakingqueen waddle in and let us know how you both areSmile think about you lots and hope you are in the blooming phase.

well we staggered thro the festive season (unclench jaw) scrapped various family members up and put them back together over new year (deep breath)and am trying to be a forward thinking member of the human race this yearConfused This involves going out to eat food, calorific value unknown to my app thank god and having all tax returns done keerching polish halo reach for a rewarding bottle of wine.
scraped or scrapped? can't work out which one is rightSmile easily confused on a sunday.

QuestionsAgain · 23/01/2011 18:31

'each day is something like 1 and a half minutes longer every day Smile 1 and a half minutes for qa to be doing something very useful Wink '

mermaid 1 and a half minutes????!!!! Now that would be quick Wink Grin Grin Completing tax returns definitely deserves a bottle of wine. Forward thinking member of society sounds positive, though I am sure you are still allowed the odd weeble x

Waves to barbie and vjay

bakingqueen · 23/01/2011 21:21

Hello all sorry just a quick hello been really busy at work and not had chance to catch up got 20 week scan tomorrow afternoon so fingers crossed it all goes well feeling very nervous x x

Hello all sorry just a quick hello been really busy at work and not had chance to catch up got 20 week scan tomorrow afternoon so fingers crossed it all goes well feeling very nervous x x

SabsFabulous · 23/01/2011 22:26

A quick post to wish baking the best of luck tomorrow. Will have everything crossed for you that all goes well. What time is the scan? Are you finding out the flavour?

mermaid so lovely to see you posting on here. Hope you're back for good.

Have had a busy weekend and have hardly been at home, so couldn't fulfill my promise of a a long post. Will try tomorrow.

BTW Don't know if anyone remembers when I posted a while back about my SIL who got pregnant after 10 years. She had a baby girl last Thursday, 10 days early. We're over the moon for her. Only thing is she's so far away, lives in another country and won't be over until the summer. Thank God for BlackBerry so we can get instant photo's Smile

Sweet dreams everyone x

monkeybumsmum · 24/01/2011 07:58

Morning!! Been desperate to say hello, but just not had a chance, and this is only a quick one as I leave for work in an hr and have to tidy the house for the cleaning lady...

Mermaid Yay! SO lovely to see you back Smile I have been thinking of you loads, and as you can probably tell you have been hugely missed by everyone! I really hope you're back to stay Smile Sounds like you're being very organised re tax return etc, sounds similar to me during the summer when I just needed to tidy and organise things in the house. Perhaps to gain a little control in my case anyway. Sending you a lovely star back for managing to get through Christmas, that was a tough one I'm sure.

BQ Lots of luck for this afternoon Smile Will you let us know how you get on? {smile]

Barbie Shock Grin at Dolly's antics! Goodness knows how you manage to get anything done at all, you must have to watch her like a hawk! Are you keeping a diary/journal of all the monkeyness she gets up too? Then you can embarrass her when she's older Grin

Vjay Poor CJay getting all upset re waving hello, but your dh sounds fab managing to make him feel better.

Sabs Well done your SIL! Bet they can't quite believe it after so long trying. 10 years Shock Hope all is well with you and S x

'Fraid I really must go now as house looks like whirlwinds been through it and the cleaning lady is a new one so don't want to scare her off Grin Love to all, and will try to come back later xxx

ps thanks so much for all the lovely thoughts and messages last week. You are, as ever, fantastic. I feel like I want to reply to you all, but I just haven't got the words, as mermaid said. That you were thinking of us means the world xxx

VJay · 24/01/2011 11:14

Had a chuckle at monkey tidying up for the cleaning lady Grin

mermaid Cjays temp is still high, I took him to the out of hours yesterday and he has a virus, so no school today.

As for shred I've not had chance for a few days, I'm on level 3 now which is better than level 2 and have just 9 days to go til I've done the full 30, the problem is we have someone staying with us at the mo so I can't go flinging myself around the living room incase he walks in Blush, I don't even let dh watch me shred Blush O look like a hippo trying to dance Grin

BQ good luck for your scan today, please pop in and tell us how it went Smile

sabs thats lovely about your SIL, a little cousin for Saara Smile

Right the ironing pile beckons, or should I shred mmmmmmmmm, what is Vjay to do?????

loueytb3 · 24/01/2011 14:47

just popping on to see how BQ's scan went. Am snowed with work today, will try and get on later when I'm bored of working

bakingqueen · 24/01/2011 14:58

All well need to get back to work now but all looking good and its a boy x

My little devil monkey doesnt give me a minutes peace! Im going to start keeping a little note book of her adventures.....she is just too curious for her own good.
It sounds like i dont watch over her when i read back over the last few post Blush but i do, she is just into anything and everything and is super super quick!

mermaid nightclubs and boyfriends Shock puts fingers in ears and hums loudly...i cant hear you!

Its nearly gg, curlygirls and dollys birthday Shock we are busy getting everything together for a party in the garden....

Oh and 'extinction' for those who are wondering is a method of controlled crying detailed in the happy sleep book, so no mermaid its not a diet to you dont have to hide the yummy Biscuit Grin

bluesatinsash · 24/01/2011 20:07

Mermaid [bsmile], you're back [bsmile]

BQ - congrats on a good scan and a bonny bouncing boy to boot, lovely [bsmile]

Vjay - hope your two are on the mend. Did the ironing tackle itself or did you fire in there [bgrin]?

monkey - hey . When's your next appointment re: your PLAN?

louey - how's your sister? Been thinking about her... xx

Sabs - great news on your SIL [bsmile], hope work's OK x

barbie - hate posting form DH's phone too. Its a i-phone and all slippy and hair triggery matched with my low irritability threshold = not a good combo. I like my desk top, its got proper keys and everyfink.

Soooo, what is Dolly wearing on her b'day? I'm thinking a day outfit, possible a swimsuit and some super cute pj's for evening showing off?? I hope so!

Sloping off downstairs for cuppa, a tout a l'heure xx

Burns Night tomorrow - oc ai the noo [bgrin]. I shall be saying non to the haggis although it is lovely stuffed in chicken with a drambuie sauce

BuddhaBelly · 25/01/2011 12:25

Blue Why are you saying no to the haggis? [bhmm} Something to tell us? [bwink]

VJay · 25/01/2011 15:45

I'm having haggis tonight [bgrin], when in Rome and all that [bgrin]

blue the boys are on the mend [bsmile], and no I didn't shred I did the ironing instead [bhmm], I'm giving myself a week off as I've hurt my neck, I pulled it when manhandling Cjay into the car to see the doctor, he was scared bless him.

barbie you mean to say you are a mumsnetter who hasn't heard of the '30 day shred' [bshock][bgrin] There were even 2 thread on it in the weight loss section, I was on one and I found mermaid on the other [bgrin]

bq a big fat YAY to a fab scan [bgrin]

Laters my lovely weebling lovelies [bsmile]

mermaidspurse · 25/01/2011 16:30

theoretically of course we are just toning and oh God does Jillian tone but in my opinion she needs some serious boob control in level 2. Well it made me feel better anyway, smirk.

And also am thanking myself for living at the other end of the country and so do not have to eat haggis but to all those up there have a happy [bsmile]

bq contented smile at having to think up some namesSmile I hope you are begining to feel that you can breathe in and out and relax a little.
right off to natter with the bodens mums at swimming - bq you have this to look forward to!

4everhopeful · 25/01/2011 17:15

I love that mermaid is back! [bgrin]

[bgrin] to Bq and a bouncing baby boy to look forward too! Your pregnancy is flying by!

Happy haggis eating to our bonny lasses up in Burns country! [bgrin]

Catch up properly asap, my ikkle biscuit wiscuit is 8m tomorrow and having her 8m check! [bshock] How did that happen so fast?! [bconfused] Oh and tooth number 2 arrived last week, or was it the week before? [bhmm]

littlebellsmum · 25/01/2011 21:24

Happy haggis eating all - did try it a few years ago, complete with a very nasty whiskey sauce. The haggis was OK but the sauce ....bleugh...

mermaid you're back - how lovely

Blue you and your clothes! But I do agree, Dolly will need at least three outfits for her big day!

4ever Yay to 8m and 2 teeth. BabyBelle is still toothless, she does now sit up and is doing a good line in standing - me thinks she will be spending most of the flight to Oz looking at the people behind!!
8m is such a lovely age too - remember it clearly from DD1, really interactive and easy to please.

bakingqueen , wow bakingprince Congratulations - very exciting and pleased it is all going so well and so fast.

Sorry - got to go, being rude as ever as I've missed loads but the tummy bug is getting the littlebell household and toilets rule...

BuddhaBelly · 26/01/2011 09:30

LBM Hope you are all feeling a little better today?
Mermaid Grin Grin Hello lovely lady Grin so wonderful to have you back Smile
4ever Shock 8 months! Mind you I still can't believe Ewan is 14 months, I don't know where the time goes too!
BQ Grin Welcome to the world of blue trouble Wink
Vjay How are the boys today?
Barbie Been looking at your videos of Devon over the weekend - gorgeous Smile

Right off to do some work, maybe back later

loueytb3 · 26/01/2011 09:54

Morning, pesky work is getting in the way of MN (how dare it) so I'm going to attempt a post today before I get started....

BQ hooray for a good scan and a baby boy. Boys are lots of fun Wink Am Grin at baking prince comments (very good moon!) Half-way there! I think it's definitely time to add you to the big panters - what is your EDD? Have you got any names yet?

LBM I'm sorry you've got poorly littlebells too? Hope they are all feeling better soon. You have my sympathies.

vjay talking of poorly - are your two better? Hope your neck feels better soon - poor you and poor cjay. I had to google shred - had no idea either. Was very Confused for a while as all that came up was shredders. Then I found the 30-day shred and realised what you were on about. I'm storing that one up for postnatal operation get rid of baby belly. It will be worth getting to see what mermaid is going on about Jillian's boobs in level 2 Grin

mermaid lol at boden ladies at swimming lessons. I've yet to really come across them as most of my friends are either twin mums who have no money for Boden or my NCT group who mostly work. I think I'm the only one who has anything from Boden and I blame MN, and especially monkey and blue for that. Oh and very well done and oodles of wine for finishing your tax return well within the deadline.

blue (and vjay) belated happy burns night [bsmile]. Did you decide to partake in the haggis in the end? I think I may have had it years ago. I have spoken to my sister - she sounds very down and is blaming herself although she has absolutely no reason to Sad We are going to meet up for a drink soon hopefully. They have to go back to have a debrief with the clinic in a couple of weeks and then they will decide what to do.

4ever Happy 8 month birthday to S! and wow - 2 teeth already. Has she made any attempts at cruising yet?

sabs congratulations on your new niece Smile! I'm glad you have managed to see her through skype already. Its so Sad when they are so far away. My sister and my nieces are in the US and we only get to meet up once a year if we are lucky Sad.

barbie c'mon regale us with the latest in dolly's antics. And do you have lovely buffed and painted feet? Have never had a pedicure but I will during this pg. Can't bear having tatty toenails in summer and methinks I won't be able to reach my toes by then. I find it hard enough to do a decent job when I can reach. Do like blue's suggestions of birthday outfits. Is DH sticking around for a while now. How is Dolly sleeping at the moment?

monkey you clean for the cleaning lady - isn't that missing the point???

moon fingers crossed for you that AF doesn't show...

QA are you 2wwaiting too? I know what you mean about joining the October bus - I was due in Oct too. It would be too raw for me. Hugs - there is a bfp with your name on it coming very soon (hopefully by this weekend)...

buddha is E still covered in bruises??

mrskate I'm so glad you are on the right meds now, it sounds as though you have had a right time of it. take it easy and as wise QA said, ease back into work slowly. Fantastic news about your sisters friend.

I'm feeling a bit jittery. I've still got 3 wks until my 20wk scan (its not until nearly 21 wks) and it feels like ages. Some days I can feel movements and others I can't. I got the doppler out last night and managed to find the hb eventually. It is moving all over the place and it's really difficult to find. With the DTs, it was easy as their hbs were basically in the same place everytime. This one seems to be doing zumba in there....clearly it has a lot more space to move around and is using it. I don't remember worrying like this with DTs (and I had more reason to worry with them). Someone talk some sense into me!! Also I think my urine infection may have come back too although Im still taking antibiotics. Despite my whinging, I am ok. Just need more sleep!

I did a bit of stalking and found Choccie on another thread. It appears she has just got a bfp! Will pop on there when I get a chance. Haven't seen pfj around for ages. Must go and work now!

4everhopeful · 26/01/2011 11:15

Louey its sooo understandable to be feeling jittery hon.. Thank god for dopplers is all i can say! Once you have your scan im sure you will feel much better though, in the meantime we are all here to hold your hand through the weebles we have all also had!

Fab news about choccie! Grin Oh yes, and Summer is most definately cruising, has been since christmas, navigates her way round the furniture at a very rapid rate indeed! Added a gate to our front room as well as stairs cos she is everywhere! Must dash 8m check at 1pm so must bath while she naps!

QuestionsAgain · 26/01/2011 11:56

Great news BQ relief all round I bet. Smile

Louey Thanks for the hugs, most needed today and thanks for remembering it's my last few days of the 2ww, though don't think it is this month. I have had horrendous PMT this week and feel really irratable and low. So sorry you are having a weeble, annoying that you have an extra week to wait for your scan too. Just keep in your mind that you have found the heart beat and you know your little one is making full use of the space available. It's no wonder you are more worried this time, after the MC, but you are doing so well. the infection won't be helping as it does tend to zap your energy a bit. Hang on in there, you are nearly half way! Smile Great news about choccie

Moon keeping everything crossed for you that AF stays away. This ttc lark is messing with me alot, but have been thinking of you this week and the wait you have had, just hope it is not much longer for you x

Right am off....
