Feeling loads better now so took ds to see Tangled (in French ) - it was excellent! Anyone else seen it? I have a bit of a worrying crush on Flynn. Are you allowed to fancy animated characters or is that just odd?

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend xxx

My step mum used to fancy a puppet off thunderbirds when she was little, so I'm sure it's ok monkey , and I would like to take CJay to see tangled

Morning all

Hope you are feeling back to normal this morning blue, saw the pics on FB, looks like a fun night was had by all!

Thanks for making me feel a bit more normal VJay and cupcake, phew! Is such a good film, hope you get to see it with CJay VJay. Blue I hadn't even thought about whether it was a girly film I just whisk ds off to the cinema if something new comes out! Mind you, along with the usual trains, cars and boy stuff, ds rather enjoys pink, sparkles and Barbie (doll not emmsy )! There were boys sat next to us in the cinema though, and they seemed to enjoy it! Have a lovely time if you go!

Hi QA How are you doing?

Having a bit of a nightmare morning this morning - came down to a kitchen covered in wee from our poorly dog. She can't seem to stop at the mo, think it's a side effect of her chemo, but over the last few days there's blood in it too It's not looking good.

Also, I seem to remember someone asking when my next appt was (sorry I can't remember who ). Is Feb 14th after work, for a scan to see what's going on. The next one is then in March and we'll find out what they're planning on doing. Can't help but feel a little excited!

Anyway, best dash to go check on dog, hope you're having a lovely Sunday all xxx

Hope curlygirl and GracieGirl had fab birthdays and that their mummys had some fun too. Has a year really flow by?

Hope moon had a fantastic birthday - got to go now. Been up since 6 but still in PJ's and need to make soup and look after baby - the older LB's are building a house with DH for oldest LB's homework! It is a model house - but looks like it might be a big model!!

Louey did you mean to send out a link to Viagra?

Oh bloody hell - sorry monkey. Have had my account hacked. I think mls, barbie and poss BQ have got one too. Can't sort it out now as on move but if anyone else gets a dodgy email from me pls delete.

louey I got an email from you too

I think if you change your password, it sometimes stops spamming - worth a try

Belated 1st birthday greetings to our gorgeous girls Isabelle and Curlygirl! Im sure you were spoilt rotten and your mummies were proud as punch! Where has the last year gone!?

Moon yay to the DF for whisking you away to celebrate your birthday in style! he sounds lovely, hope you enjoyed lots of and romance! havent yet posted to you to say how sooooooooooo pleased I am that you are off to the docs too, is it tomorrow? We are all sending strength and babydust in bucketloads to you, I have lots of hope for you hon...

Blue hows the head now?

Monkey Im so pleased you have your apt so soon, another special lady who deserves a break and Im also holding lots of hope for.. We will be there holding your hand on the 14th, another PLAN to come into fruition... Do hope your doggy is ok btw...

QA sorry about the BFN lovely.. Poms poms already out for this month

Bakingqueen and Louey give those bumps a pat for me, and also meant to say how fab about test results and a little Bakingprince! Louey when is your 20wk scan again?

Lovelyfunnymermaid have mental image of you still in shorts with fag! Hows your lil athlete today?

Vjay you made me laugh about fancying puppets! Not wierd at all! Lovely reading your old posts and how far you came, with our first graduate, you gave such hope and inspiration!

Barbie hoping you are in better health soon my love, is your mum out soon? Whens the colonoscopy? Have also been meaning to ask what the latest is with your heart worry too?

Sabs my sweet, lovely tx the other day, just seen your mail fellow pisces lady, Im about to reply.. Im not sure if this is the same as Curly mentioned? Would love to get tother asap but Saturdays really not great, weekdays much better but of course you are back at work arent you?

Cupcake yay to shiny new laptops to post on eh? Huge hugs to young Jude, sure he is keeping you on your toes as much as Summer is me! Well done on the weight loss btw, sure running after them helps too!

LBM your bambinos antics always make me smile, must be lovely having a large brood!

Neeko boo to work monitoring.. Everytime I read Blues posts from work reminds me of poting away looking over my shoulder when I worked! Feels like an age ago now! Good to see you again though busy lady..

Good to see a post from MLS too after all this time! Hope the impending treatment goes well..

Well, snuck in a quick one as been up and out today at church but a roast dinner needs to be cooked so will dash now, got totally wrapped up reading old threads! I did 1st post 25th sept 08, Mermaid was 26th sept 08! Almost exactly a year to the day late I got my BFP with Summer!

My silly phone is giving up the ghost after Summer has chewed on it every day for the last few months! So am on laptop, but now unable to daily lurk from phone! Am gonna get fancy new iphone asap now! Sorry have been so crap at posting lately though! Big waves to those I inevitably missed and lots of love to you all! x x x x x

Hey all, thanks for all the lovely messages and posts yesterday. We had a fab time :) It has definitely been the best year of my life and she gets cuter by the day At one point during the chaos of her birthday party, I sat back and thought about the road to here and how much I have relied on all of you. I promise I will be around more from now on to get our small and medium panters there xxx

neeko little H sounds so adorable and into everything. I'm definitely going to have to invest in cupboard locks soon. Curlygirl hadn't actually realised that the kitchen cupboards contain treasures till some of the other babies pointed them out to her at her party :)

mermaid your trip down memory lane made me laugh. I'm afraid that a parka just won't do - we've a very strict dress code in the greenhouse (even if it is your greenhouse) You always sound upbeat but I hope that you are doing okay lovely lady and that this year brings only good things for you xxx

VJ lol at your stepmum :) How are your lovely boys doing? I can't believe AJ is nearly 18 months!!

monkey I hope your dog is okay, poor love :( Great news on your scan and appointment though. I have high hopes for you in 2011 :) I'm still laughing at the thought of your ds with a poster of our barbie in his bedroom. She is so down with the kids

louey I got an email too! You'll prob need to get your pc checked out as well as changing your yahoo password as it may have malicious software on it. It's poo I'm sure you have more than enough to be doing than worrying about geekstuff

blue 4am!!! you are my hero. I was up till midnight last night and had full droopy eye syndrome from 11pm

4ever you are such a domestic goddess. I was tempted to pop around to yours today for that roast Sounds like your iphone is more tasty though. How is that gorgeous girl? I'd love to see her again if we can organise another meetup :)

qa thanks for the birthday wishes :) What is the plan this month? After some deeply scientific analysis I have concluded that you should jump on dh on days 8, 10, 11, 12, 14 and 26 (that one is just for fun ) Has AF arrived? I think this month could be the one for you - I just know a bfp is around the corner :)

sabs I'm getting so excited about meeting up on the 26th!!! It'll be lovely to see curlygirl and Saara together now that they are both toddling :)

lbm your house sounds like such fun. I once made a papier mache model of a giant (5ft tall) for a school project :) It took a long time but I loved it! How is little babybelle?

big waves to skinny minny cupcake, thanks for the text yesterday :)

Hope you had a lovely weekend Moon. When is the docs appointment? I'm here to hold your hand xxx

Big waves to anyone I haven't mentioned. Must go to bed - though I've been saying that for the last hour xxx

moon hope you had a fabulous weekend
How is your list looking and what time are you going to see the dr? Thinking of you lots today. We will have one of these later to celebrate you being very brave.

curly so brill to read you had a memorable day. It is amazing when you look back

monkey your poor dog, it had slipped my mind that he was so poorly. the 14th is nearly here, must feel good to have things trundling on. Have everything crossed.

I think barbies hospital appoint. is the 16th. barbie hope you are ok too lovely lady.

neeko that is muchuth stress at work. You poor woman. How much longer will they be lurking? a big for oyu when you get home.

I looked after a 14month old yesterday The good side of this was I had to tidy up a lot. I had forgotten the concrete leg walk, so funny. Made me think a tiny what if but only tiny. Looks like the perimenopause or worse has started for me Waiting for an appoint. with my dr to see about blood tests. humpf. But I am mellowish, just I asked over in the menopause section, eek - aka the dark side - easier than repeating myself. Right work.

Ooh mermaid you just know 4ever will be squee-ing over that 'what if', no matter how tiny

I think moon's appointment is Friday isn't it? Few more days to bask in the bliss of your lush weekend away :) Hope you have got the mermaid-style list. Don't take any nonsense from them lady.

curly so so glad you had a lovely day on Saturday. at curlygirl getting cuter by the day. And I also lol'd at the other babies showing her where the treasures are Jude has discovered our pan cupboards already, and my wardrobe. He's obsessed with doors at the moment
Don't think I can do 26th Feb...but I MAY be coming to London at some point in March. Will have to keep you posted :) when are you back at work?

qa I'm so sorry I totally forgot to shout-out to you in my last post. Hope you're doing ok, sorry about the stoopid bfn :(

monkey your poor poor dog :( hope you're ok, can't be nice to watch her suffering :( but yay for your appointment and another impending PLAN.
I really want to see Tangled! Keep hearing how good it is. Finally getting to see The King's Speech with some mummy friends this week though so can't complain too much :)

4ever Jude is obsessed with our mobile phones too, and the remote control. We're gonna get him this from the Early Learning Centre

LBM How did the house turn out?? Sounds like something my dh would love doing.

Right, must dash ladies...grab some lunch while bambino sleeps then we're off to soft play... love to all xxx

ladies, sorry about being awol...we have some how burnt through our second mac recharger so have no charge on computer apart from the precious hour we have left. New charger on way in 5 days will lurk from phone and try to get on if only for short post.

Wanted to say sorry for missing curlygirls birthday, sorry my lovely....hope you had a fabby time. Would of text you but the smart phones in dubai have been playing up, so cant text uk, hopefully will be sorted asap.

Im ok, dont worry about me....hospital not til next wed so im calm until then

Missing you all, but like i said im lurking and will try to post from phone tomorrow...hugs xxx

just passing through...

thanks for all the birthday wishes and the my lovely mum and df collaborated and paid for a weekend away in blackpool, how they kept it a secret i do not know! it was lovely though, despite the crap weather, df and i had such a great time and it was just what we needed, i fell in love with him all over again, and there was a lot of bd action

our appointment is not til friday afternoon, i think this is about as close to a scared face as i can get i feel quite calm at the moment, im sure that will change though.

hope you all had a lovely weekend and gracie and curly enjoyed celebrating a whole year of being mums :)

Hey lovely mermaid I'm going to try not to jump on that "what if" though actually really I am because I'm convinced that you are going to be a mum again, whatever way it happens. It could be that your cysts are producing similar symptoms, you are way too young to be perimenapausal :) any news on your appointment? I loved your description of the concrete leg :) Curlygirl chases me around the kitchen trying to lock my legs together.

Moon your weekend sounds great and I am grinning massively from all your bd'ing Just so I am up to date and ready to obsess on your behalf, where are you in your cycle. Are we now on a 2ww or was it just practice time?! :) Great news that your appointment is friday. I know things will start happening for you now x

Yay cupcake come to London!!! I'll actually be away with work (eek :() for the first two weeks in March so I'm hoping it's after that or at the weekend :)

barbie I know you are being very brave about next week but don't worry, we'll be there for you :)

big waves to everyone x

just practising curly mores the pity, so get your pom poms out ready for this weekend

practising is good too moon to make sure those swimmers are nice and fresh!!

Hellooooo! I've been loving all the nostalgic ramblings about the Emmys's thread and who Emmsy actually was. Mermaid you have cracked me up at times One of these days when I have a few hours spare I am going to go back and read them all as I am the newbie still on here.

moon your lovely DF (and mum)! So glad you had a fab birthday weekend away. It was just what you needed. Lots of BD practice is always fun

barbie I had it in my head your colonoscopy was this week (but then my brain is mush at the moment). My MIL had hers on Mnday but from what I've heard (2nd hand) it wasn't a colonoscopy. She was cleaned out and given some iodine and then they scanned her. DH's family are not at all medical and don't seem to ask questions about why they are doing something or what the procedure was called so I'm a bit in the dark about what is going on. I asked DH when she would be going back to find out the results and she said she didn't know. Argh. Anyway, if it helps, DH spoke to her on the evening after she had been in and she was absolutely fine and didn't seem to suggest it had been an awful experience.

cupcake love the ELC set - Jude will have great fun with that. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as they get older. My two can now work pretty much every remote control in the house. This morning, Luke had managed to turn both the TV and skybox on, had found the recording of Wall-E on skyplus and pressed play . Isaac also seems to think that my camera is much better than his (not cheap) camera. Thankfully you have a way to go before you get to this stage...

Curly so glad you and curlygirl had a good birthday. Sounds like the party was a lot of fun. You might be lucky find that curlygirl is not interested in cupboards - some children just aren't so I would wait and see what she does before you put cupboard locks on everything. Not mine unfortunately although they have outgrown that phase.

mermaid have seen your post but know nothing about the menopause - hope you get some useful responses and that you haven't got too long to wait for the drs appt. You know that we are still holding out hope for you. Took me a while to realise what on earth the concrete walk was but it made me once my brain had caught up.

neeko hope you are surviving x

4ever you will heart your iphone when you get it. I really want a new one but can't upgrade for another year. Boo. 20 week scan is next Tuesday - eek. Am getting a tad nervous about it TBH.

QA very belatedly boo from me about the BFN but onwards and upwards and hopefully a valentine conception is on the cards

LBM somewhat belatedly, I've just noticed your fabby FB profile pic of your three lovely children. How did the house building go?

monkey your poor doggy . Are you taking him back to the vets? Chemo is nasty stuff. Very glad your appt is coming up soon and you will have a plan.

sabs I think we already have plans for your birthday dinner too. April is always a bit ridiculous as all my NCT group's babies were born then so its one big round of birthday parties/meet ups. Will let you know for sure as soon as I know.

mls how are you feeling? And did I notice that you were about to start weaning DD2? I can't believe how time has flown

blue fabby pics of your girls night in. Am impressed by 4am too!

vjay how are things?

Huge apologies to all of you who got dodgy emails from me. I can't work what has happened. I can see some have been sent from my account, but more of you have got emails than I can see. Anyway, have changed my password and hopefully that has stopped it. Please let me know if you get any more. I haven't accessed my mail from a pc for ages so I must have been hacked through my phone .

20 weeks today and feeling a bit more human after a good nights sleep and no interruptions from small children. Luke was ill at the end of last week/weekend with a high temp so its been a difficult few days (and trying to fit work around it all). SIL coming tomorrow night for the weekend bringing the Christmas presents that we haven't been able to get because of snow and then MIL's illness. Think we will have hyper children tomorrow night. Also need to sort out their birthday party/presents soon as its only just over a month away...

Hello, it's been a bit mad here

Will try and get on soon and post properly.

Ajay is picking up anything that looks like a phone and pretending to chat away on it, it's so cute, but DH now things I spend all day on the phone as where else would he get it from

Laters xx

Ooh bless ajay and give your DH a slap vjay. What does he think you do all day

Next week is going to be a right rollercoaster. The special educational needs panel are meeting to decide about Isaac's statement (looks as though we are almost going to get what we want after a long fight). The panel for the ASD unit attached to the primary school we want him to go to are also meeting and one of the staff from the unit is going to observe him in nursery school. Oh and I've got the small matter of a scan. I'm going to be a wreck by the end of the week!!!

DH working from home today as well and we've had a lovely lunch out together

Just came on to offer my hand to moon for your docs appointment tomorrow. Not that you'll need it because things are going to happen for you soon (especially after all that practice you are going to have this weekend ) Don't forget mermaids list!!

louey hope you get the right answer by the end of next week and can be a bit more sure of Isaacs future. What day is your scan hon? Lovely to have dh working from home. I love those days :)

vjay your aj is so adorable. It's funny though, the babies seem to be the opposite of us grownups - the bigger the phone, the more they like it Big slap from me too for your dh - AS IF

Thank you :) I'll let you know how we get on.
