Oops ran out of space on phone! Was just saying that (as alerted to by cupcake) that Summers birthday is 10 wks today! Shock Absolutely cant believe it!? Shock Lil sausage has a stinky cold bless her and is snuffling away, tooth number 5 is coming through so not helping i dont think, its her top big tooth, but the 2 either side are through so she has the most adorable gappy smile when she laughs! She is everywhere and into everything, the standing on her own is getting sturdier and longer so hopefully when the good weather finally arrives she will be walking!

Anyway i digress, talking of hols im so Envy at you Lbm your trip to oz is so near! How long are you there for? Hope you managed to sort the 6yrs of clothes btw! Grin

QA do check in! Hope both you and Bq have suitable amounts of sand, bubble wrap and cotton wool?! Wink

Sabs glad you are watching Obem too, its so moving isnt it? Its nearly your birthday isnt it? Tickles to that gorgeous girl of yours..

Calling Curly where have you been mrs? Miss your mammoth posts!

Ahh have a stirring baby biscuit, Dh on lates so meeting at shopping later then off to pizza hut for dinner, yum(!) so better get a wriggle on! At least iv now managed a half decent catch up finally! (Apologies to those iv inevitably missed Blush) Will attempt to get back on but mums 78th birthday on sat so taking her for an afternoon cream tea at that posh hotel in wimbledon i went too for my birthday when preg with Summer.. (double yum!) However as always, I will be lurking from my phone! Grin Love y'all lots x x x x x

Hello all

mermaid aint that just poo...bloody gym women. I sure hope somebody that smiles takes over and you will have your sanctuary back soon. However i did Grin when i read that you told her to smile a short while back. Im forever doing such things, or else i will be overly polite to someone that is rude, does dh head in....i cant help it though, it's my inner bitch Wink

cupcake i had to re read your post cos i thought it was dh who had shat himself and vomited over a lady in public Shock Had visions of you rushing to get visa's for oz so that he didnt have to show himself in public again Grin sorry to hear it was the little man though, poor thing. hope he is much better now.

Not much time i'm afraid...Murtle is going to the pet shop tomorrow, Dolly is missing her ball pool and im fed up of defrosting prawns! There is now way we can keep him really, not a good pet for kids as they carry salmonella, and fred is much to interested in him to be safe out roaming the garden.

My news is....nothing exciting

except that for the first time in about 9 years i have had a second period 28 days after the last one Shock fingers crossed my body is getting back to normal!!!!

lbm i need a huge favor if poss???? Desperate for teething powders (not sold here) any chance you could pick some up for me??? I could possibly meet your friend at her convenience to collect? No worries if not. Good luck with the packing

Much dash, lots of love x

barbie1 · 17/03/2011 12:45

Gosh loads of spelling mistakes Blush

waves to 4ever*, sorry i havent chatted to you much lately, i will catch up soon...i like sharing the bench with you though Wink

mermaidspurse · 17/03/2011 13:19

have a bad head todayGrin there is lots more but for fear of libelGrin I can't possibly put it here. We were all called some nasty names on fb last night(the shame) but by then I was hammered quite drunk so giggled through it.

barbie that is excellent news on your cycle and I am grinning at you defrosting prawns to feed to a turtle watched by a drooling dog!

4ever hello young ladySmile I hope you mum has a lovely birthday. Cyprus Island of Aphrodite would be an apt destination for you and dh. See I have been reading a lot of holiday pornGrin

vjay hope cjay is managing with the bedroom trauma.
work must work.

barbie1 · 17/03/2011 13:34

mermaid the filth that is coming out of your mouth lately, porn talk, causing a riot at the gym....smoking, gosh Shock i have visions of you like sandy from greese....the good girl turned bad Grin

Hope the head gets better

mermaidspurse · 17/03/2011 13:34

I'd never fit into those trousersGrin

barbie1 · 17/03/2011 13:36

nor me Sad

barbie1 · 17/03/2011 13:36

grease, not greese.....Grin

mermaidspurse · 17/03/2011 13:50

check those thighs out! sigh. I just discovered I had a garden, think spring may be more or less here. The greenhouse is a mess and blue it's time to think about our planting schemes for this year.

VJayJay · 17/03/2011 14:38

more Wine for mermaid

mermaidspurse · 17/03/2011 16:17

hair of th dog is always good as you know vjay glad you had an extended birthday.

littlebellsmum · 17/03/2011 22:26

barbie let me know exactly what you need and I'll bring them over, along with anything else you need!!

Hi to everyone, we have a very exciting weekend - grandparents are babysitting and we are starting walking the south downs way with friends. First stop, lovely pub in Winchester tomorrow night - can't wait!

VJayJay · 18/03/2011 11:43

I've got a minute to chat at last Smile

Cjay is settling down now, he still has a grumble now and then about Ajay being in his room, but it is getting easier. We moved his tv into our room and he now snuggles into our bed to watch it whenever he needs some time out, which he loves.

mermaid I am Angry on your behalf too, I'm so sorry your gym has had to close due to some useless person who doesn't have a clue. I will get some more Wine in for later.

lbm have a lovely weekend, it sounds fab Smile

blue where are you hiding misses, the plants in here need tending too Smile

Right gotta dash, that was very short I'm sorry, but a hungry Ajay is a calling. Laters xx

Neeko · 18/03/2011 21:21

Hello lovely ladies and thanks for your messages the other day. I'm sure you all feel the same as me and find it helps when others remember your loss too.

Vjay glad to hear things are settling with the boys. I knew you'd know what to do. Bet you're glad to see the back of the snow. We had snow here on Tuesday (when MLS was wearing flipflops Envy) then fog followed by sun splitting the skies on Wed and torrential rain on Thurs. Which season is this? Hmm

Cupcake really hope your little man is better and you're able to breathe out after a difficult week. Gold star to the lovely woman in the coffee shop.

Mermaid So Angry for you about the gym and that woman. I am bloody lovely I am Yes you are! Stupid woman doesn't realise what she's missing out on by not getting to know you. Your posts sometimes make me lol though, such as the travel agent stuff. I'd love to meet you in RL and I'm sure your mum realises how lovely you are too.

Monkey My stomach did such a flipflop to read that things are moving for you.Smile There'll be much rejoicing in Emmsyland when you hold your precious bundle in your arms in the early months of 2012.

Moon Glad scan went well. I predict you and Monkey will be celebrating your beautiful bumps this Christmas.

4ever What happy family scenes you paint! Glad things are going well with you. I hope S is over her cold soon and your mum has a lovely birthday.

Louey I love chocolate chocolate orange but have given up chocolate for lent so you need to eat twice as much. It's the law Grin

Barbie it's a shame you can't keep the turtle but I'm sure you have enough on your plate. I think it's a great idea for you to come home early with Dolly. It'll allow you to do a meet up with the London lot too. How's the feeding going? I'm still on twice a day but have been diluting the formula with cow's milk in her afternoon bottle this week and she's been drinking the lot! Shock I'll never be able to second guess this girl of mine!
I'm assuming the unrest out there doesn't affect you?

LBM Enjoy your walking weekend. Smile

Blue I know it's wine o'clock and Gray's for you so hope you're enjoying it. I thought this week's episode was brilliant and I'm developing a bit of a crush on Avery, especially his eyes Blush

Hannah is very close to walking now which is exciting. She is extremely vocal and very loud all the time now. Her favourite activity is emptying: bags, tissues, wipes, cupboards, toy boxes, bauble boxes... I'm always on my hands and knees putting things back.
Sleep is so much better and it's such a relief. She seems to sleep through now unless she's teething. Long may it last.
M and H are thick as thieves and watching them play together is my favourite thing ever.

Work is not going well Sad The whole job-share thing hasn't really happened and I've ended up almost doing a full week's teaching and marking whilst only being in 3 days. The loyalty to the kids and desire to get them through their exams makes it hard not to.I love teaching but the pressure is really taking the joy out of it. I guess I'll have to keep praying for that lottery win...
Sorry didn't mean to prattle on so much.Blush Have a lovely weekend all.

VJayJay · 19/03/2011 15:12

Hi, it's very quiet in here, are we all enjoying the sun?

neeko so sorry your jobs isn't giving you the enjoyment it should. I hope you can find a way to make it work for you Smile. As for H nearly walking, that's so exciting. I love it when they first start to walk Smile, Ajay has just started jumping, with both feet off the ground, he now does it at every opportunity Smile

bq and louey how many weeks pg are you both now?

Right off to put my feet up, I've struggled with a maths problem for a few days now, and I've finally cracked it. I'm such a geek Grin

barbie1 · 19/03/2011 15:19

Hi girls, trust you are all having a good weekend?

We took Dolly to the beach for the morning, making the most out of the weather before it gets too hot to do anything at all....

lbm i just need teething powders, we used aston and parson, but if poss could you pick me up a packet of nelsons one's? everyone say's that they are so much better? Did you find out where your friends are living?

neeko i had planned to stop bf this weekend, but 3 more teeth are on the way and Dd is in a lot of pain and being hard work, so i don't want to make it harder for any of us. I really dont know what to do Hmm im trying cows milk and her milkshake stuff but she is hardly interested mind you food is pretty much the same so im guessing things might improve after the teeth pop out. Sleeping is another drama to contend with, ho hum....Glad H is behaving for you. Sorry to hear work isnt going to well...hope dd gets a teacher like you, so much dedication and sacrifice on your part, all your kids deserve to pass with top marks Smile
Ps Dolly favourite thing right now is putting everything in the bidet, or unraveling the toilet roll....
The middle east unrest isnt effecting us at all, too many westerners here for anything to happen and the locals are very western in their thinking and happy with Dubai as it is. However friends in Bahrain are having to transfer here until it all settles, which just bring it a little closer to home.....

Murtle has gone to a good home in the pet store, dolly is delighted to have her ball pool back....

Im back in the gym, 2 classed this week and also following the weigh watchers pro points plan, i will be just under 9 stone again soon i hope

Well im off, see you all soon xx

barbie1 · 19/03/2011 15:21

hi vjayjay enjoy your rest... maths, yuk! you deserve a rest after that! Grin

barbie1 · 20/03/2011 17:14

Am i missing something? Where is everyone?????

Im off to bed, i expect a nice full thread to read through in the morning Wink

Night all, sweet dreams x

mermaidspurse · 20/03/2011 18:06

something rare happened barbie the sun came out.

But I am not sure if vjays dh has packed away his snow shovel yetSmile

QuestionableAntics · 20/03/2011 19:26

Hello Smile Feel like I have been gone ages, so much to catch up with. Had yet another busy week in RL and TBH it was pretty stressful, family problems reemerged as they have a way of doing and took a lot of my time and energy and work was full on, just when I don't need it. Luckily have had a quiet weekend and now feel well rested and back to normal. the added bonus is I can finally catch up...

Vjay a belated happy birthday from me, glad you got two opportunities to celebrate Grin Glad things are settling down with the boys sharing a room, the tv in your room to give Cjay somewhere to retreat to sounds like a good plan. Bet Cjay would love this when he gets his room back here Love Ajay practising jumping with 2 feet, just because he can! It's that proud look at me face they have once they have mastered something new, adorable.
Smile

Barbie Grin at flashing your pants, I honestl;y think you need achaperone before you go out in public! Grin Shame you had to part with Murtle, but a girl needs her ball pool and defrosting prawns is no bundle of laughs Well done for getting back in to the gym, puts me to shame. Are you getting yourself all fit and ready for ttc? I have to admit laughing when I read your plea to LBM asking for teething powders, i just imagined LBM going through customs with all this white powder and the customs officer asking who they are for and her replying, 'Barbie from the internet asked me to get it for her' Grin Grin

mermaid AKA Sandy! Hope you get a fab new owner for your gym soon, was it the owner calling you names on FB? Shock Glad you saw the funny side of it after a few Wine I was so Sad to read that you have had 6 MC's. i knew you had been through so much, but hadn't realised quite how much. I know I keep asking how things are for you and you are studiously ignoring my questions, but I do keep wondering how you are feeling and if you got any further with the possible menopause symptoms you were suffering? continue to ignore if you prefer not to talk about it, but you are so good at checking in on us all and asking the right questions I want you to know that you can open up too. or maybe a Wine and [fag] would be more appropriate for you! Grin

blue Not long 'til your anniversary, sounds like a lovely way to spend it with your DH. I often think a spring wedding would have been lovely as the weather can be so nice at this time of year and it is my favourite season. How long have you been married? apologies if you have already said!

cupcake poor jude, hope he is feeling back to his normal self now. Poor you too, sounds like a horrible experience and just typical that your DH was away. Love your bridesmaid dress and the idea of having dresses different but linked to the vintage country theme. Can just imagine it. I am hoping that once moon is further on with her plan, we can get on with planning her wedding again!

monkey Went from Sad to Smile reading your posts, Sad that you are coming up to sad anniversaries and that it has been 3 years since starting ttc, yet Smile that things are moving on well now and you are starting fertility treatment I can't believe you said you felt bad for only coming on with sad or bad news, as that is not how I (or any of the other emmsy's) see you. I am always amazed at how you (and mermaid too) are so up beat and positive and manage to be so supportive and kind on here, here though you have been going through such a terrible time. Like 4ever I will light a candle on the 8th and hopes it marks the start of a year ahead filled with much happiness.

LBM {grin[ at your description of your DD now trying to be on the move, just in time for long haul flights, so typical. Hope you are enjoying your child free weekend Envy

louey Hope you are having a good weekend with your boys. Was the birthday party yesterday? Hope they enjoyed it and you took a moment to reflect on how far you had come since, what must have been such a difficult time to get through for their birthday, last year. Will be thinking of you on Tuesday.

4ever Hope your mum has had a good birthday and felt suitably spoiled with her afternoon tea. I smiled at your comment about not sure about holidays as you may be pregnant! Can't quite believe it is only less than 10 weeks until summer is 1. I am sure the emmsy's babies grow too fast Hmm Grin Bet your planning for her birthday is already underway.

moon How are you doing? have you got adate through for your results yet? Can't be too long to wait now. Hope you are doing ok and have somehow managed to put it to one side while waiting Hmm

BQ Hope things have calmed down for you and you are not too busy, bet you have got alovely bump now? Smile

neeko H is another example of emmsy's babies growing too fast. She is going to be 1, so very soon Shock Sorry if you have already said, but what have you got planned? Glad that she is sleeping well still and that your girls are enjoying playing together so much Sorry that you are having such a difficult time at work. Job share can work very well, but it often ends up with the same workload spread over fewer hours and less pay, especially if you are as committed and conscientious as you obviously are. Hope things improve soon or that you can negotiate additional payment for the extra that you are doing Not long until the easter holidays at least...

As for me, nothing to report really. Thank you for all thinking of me though. I am now 7 weeks, no symptoms as such except tiredness, though with the week I have had I would defy anyone to not be tired Grin Think it was blue who asked how I felt with DS at this point, the answer was sick, very sick. Grin I have only had the odd bit of queasiness so far and am trying not to see anything in to that. Did another cheapy internet test last week because I am that mad and it came up straight away really dark, added to the digital one I did the week before and it seems like, at the very least, my body thinks it is pregnant. I have been having weird food cravings, though never sure if that is just normal and you give in to them more when you are pregnant iyswim? Feels really strange as still not told anyone, except 2 friends and still can't decide about an early scan. Went to GP who said she wouldn't refer me, she checked with midwife who said the same thing. The GP did say they do prefer to get you in for a scan around the 11 weeks mark in our area so that would mean a whole less week to wait.

Right have suddenly got to dash, DS is ready for his bedtime story, having just had his bath with DH. No time for spell check Blush

Hopefully back more this week...

VJayJay · 20/03/2011 19:35

Oooh mermaid you have a thing for my DH's shovel don't you Wink

qa that moon looks fab, Cjay loves the moon, it was a shame it was too cloudy up here last night to see it.

7 weeks already, that's great Smile

QuestionableAntics · 20/03/2011 19:53

Ooh err, missus Wink

We saw the moon last night, DH and DS very excited. I couldn't really see any difference Confused Grin

It has been lovely to have the sun out for the last few days, long may it last.

bluesatinsash · 20/03/2011 20:27

Promise catch up tomorrow on my lunch at work. Hectic week and busy weekend - my lovely friend's 40th birthday night out and niece's christening today = bluefeetfromhell coupled with knackered.com

Back ra morra x

VJayJay · 21/03/2011 13:00

TMI ALERT

Have any of you ever had a lump on your cervix? I found one ages ago and googled it and forgot about it, anyway I was checking for the coil strings (I did warn you it was TMI!!!) and felt it again, (but still no strings). I have booked into the doctors but the appoinment isn't until the 30th. I am a bit anxious Confused
