blue also meant to say hope your photo shoot goes well, you are probably already sorted for clothes and looking glam as usual, but my advice would be wear something with strong colour so you stand out against the white background. Red works well for children. Sure you will be fabulous sweetie
That is unless you have gone for the more traditional, mucky, swirly brown mottled background, reminiscent of 80's school photos.

Right really must go now...

Coo wee, im back!!!! Grin

What a bloody nightmare having no computer, realised how dependent and sad i am for relying on it for regular contact with everyone!

I have soooo much to catch up on, and cant beat the fabby post by the ladies above ^ questionsagain blue etc. However i will try my best and will be back regularly from now on so i dont miss a thing!

Righty....

monkey i was beaming reading your post, i can almost feel the smiles coming from you, you sound chilled/ happy/ relaxed and i like it! Glad you have a master plan going forward, i just know you will have the ending you so want, this is the first step towards your future happiness, all the best for monday and have a fab holiday if i forget to mention it before you go.
Thanks for the info re the colonoscopy, im litterly crapping myself so might not need the meds to clear me out Grin...Did you feel ok after, or is it wise to postpone my plans for wed afternoon?

Im thinking of starting a aibu, along the lines of.....

AIBU to consider fake tanning my ass before i go for a colonoscopy or is this considered vain and shallow...what do you think! Grin

curly how was the birthday? was *curlygirl totally spoilt? Im in the process and sorting out dolly's old toys to make room for the mammoth pink explosion that is due to land in the living room on friday! Any pictures???

lbm the cake is faboosh! i love it....i made ginger bread teddies (men apparently is very un pc and i was wrong to call them such Hmm) and they were fab too, going to make some more for dolly on friday, gave them a test run at her bff birthday this friday gone and so far nobodies come down sick so i think we are safe! disclaimer i did eat one myself before serving them to the unsuspecting public, i do not recommend feeding to children before giving them a test run Wink
Ive cheated and got a cake made for me, wanted to make one but have a million and one things to do and a whole day is being wasted in the hospital taking up my time Sad

blue how did the pics turn out??? we were thinking of getting a few done to celebrate surviving our first year as a family, i hate having my pic taken though so would want totally natural ones, who did you use? Hope the boys are ok...

Yikes dinner is ready ill be back to finish off soon x

Helloo - sorry, I've been away so long but as ever, life here is manic ( but I don't think I'd want it any other way). I'm going to try and catch up but I know I will forget some people!

And in asnwer to the many questions about DS's Lego party - it was a big hit - legoman cake and biscuits were good and we did loads of lego games - starting with them building lego cars to race, then a lego challenge, whos got the lego, musical lego men ( like statues but needed to be a lego pose!) and finally hunt the lego man! And after all that, DS has spent today playing with lego - the boy is obsessed!

Blue will happily send you the biscuit cutter for your ds's birthday later in the year?

4ever lovely update from you and yes, I remember the "sausages" conversation! Nap times don't work here as the older 2 don't nap and you can never rely on how long BabyBelle will sleep! Hope you get some answers this week. I loved the description of your friday night - not exactly galm but very lovely none the less. Are you still bfding S?

Vjay how was the Wine? I also had to partake last night after an afternoon with 10, 6 yr old boys ( they are so loud!!)

Mermaid Your boy is doing you proud isn't he? Hope you had a great weekend and that you are wrong Biscuit

moon so lovely to hear that you got the nice GP, sad that so many of them are not. And you are on the way to find answers - hurrah and obviously a BFP!

ThelovelyMonkey You sound very happy at the mo which is lovely. Have a great holiday with your dad and enjoy the packing. I've just booked an extra days holiday before Oz to pack as then I can do it calmly, rather than having to rush it in an evening. I love the dream story - and no Sabs doesn't have a northern accent! Good luck tomorrow - like moon, it's the start of a plan!

QA What a mammonth post from you! I'd expect more than a few mistakes in a post that long ( if I ever wrote one that is!) Hope the family stuff get resolved. And heres to a happy outcome to this months 2WW

Barbie Hurrah, you're back. We missed you and Dollys stories! Think you should get the photos done - there are some great photographers out there that can do some lovely natural photos of you and DH enjoying your little girl - that is if she will stay in the photo at all!! My friend moved out to join you in the sand pit this weekend. Oh and I do gingerbread men all the time but think the teddy cutter is cuter. Isn't it amazing how you do so much more baking once you have a baby? I hardly baked at all untill the dc's arrived and now its all the time!

'lo to curly, neeko, MLS, cupcake, buddha and all the others who are MIA ( like I can talk Smile)

Got to go - not had any tea yet, got lunches to sort and tea for tomorrow and was supposed to be having an early night Hmm

Hello! Just a very quick one from me as am dashing off to work but just wanted to answer your question barbie. Firstly, I LOVE the AIBU suggestion - go on, I dare you Grin
Wrt how I felt after the colonoscopy, I didn't really feel well at all, and just went straight home. Before you get scared however, I only felt awful because of the reaction I had to the medication that cleans you out. I always react to things quite strongly, and with that stuff I literally spent all night on the loo. That, combined with not being able to eat beforehand, made me feel very weak and shaky - probably due to lack of sleep more than anything else I suppose. The next time round (for my lap) I didn't take all the medication, and although it did its job I felt fine and managed a full nights sleep.
MIL has also had that medication, and she was fine on it, so I think it was just me Blush. I think I would've been fine afterwards if it wasn't for that. Oh, the other thing to remember is that the medication doesn't just stop working as soon as you've had the colonoscopy - it might well carry on, so it may be best to be near a loo!
Hope I haven't worried you unneccesarily, the procedure itself is actually fine (physically at least Smile)! Lots of love xxx

Right, off to work now, and then off to the scan later! Thanks ever so much for all the good luck wishes Smile You are all lovely! Will report back later xxx

monkeybumsmum · 14/02/2011 09:00

Can't remember how to spell obviously Blush Am not awake yet!

barbie1 · 14/02/2011 09:24

Hello - quickie from me I'm afraid. I started a post on Saturday and never got around to finishing it for various reasons. Was planning to catch up at lunchtime but my phone screen has gone dead so I need to go to the Apple shop and see if they can fix it.

Big waves and hugs to you all and I will do a proper post as soon as I get a chance.

cupcakefairy · 14/02/2011 14:15

Was about to do a mammoth catch up and noticed we need a new thread...I'm going to toddle off and create one...
