A big welcome to any newbie fly ladies

SimplySparkling · 16/06/2007 22:20

Hi EHM. Good to see you. I was asking after you a day or two ago as I was missing you, not having been on here much myself this week. How're things?

EHM · 16/06/2007 22:30

Hi simplyS

Things are fine thanks for asking. Thanks for asking after me too. I've not read back the threads for this week
Been out & about most days with Ellie. Her social calender is getting busy.
Mondays baby club-10-1130ish
Tuesdays Swimming Class 10-1030 but takes about an hour to get us both showered & dressed afterwards
Wed Baby Siging 1045-1145 ish.
hope all is well at your end. We visited friends in Chelmsford today their first baby is due in 3 weeks. very exciting made me thing about a little sibling for Ellie. She was a wee darling today
Right I am finishing my glass of red & off to bed. Excited about fathers day tomorrow, dh's 2nd fathers day since Ellie was born. I've bought he cufflinks with ellie fingerprint on each one, with the inscription.
For Daddy With Love Ellie.
Night.x

EHM · 16/06/2007 22:35

I got the cufflinks from "herewww.littlepinkies.co.uk/ "

gibberish · 16/06/2007 23:00

Oh was the little girl SS - was such a cutie . The song was 'Ben' - cant get over the fact MJ was singing to a rat so fortunately can't get overemotional about the song lol.

Nooooo, don't want any more ironing thank you very much! I try to iron as little as I have to these days. I used to iron pants/dish towels etc. OCD tendencies d'you think?? Mind you, I never actually ironed socks - I had a friend who would do that.

gibberish · 16/06/2007 23:01

EHM they are so lovely!!

SimplySparkling · 17/06/2007 07:20

EHM The cufflinks sound lovely. Thanks for reminding me that it is Fathers Day today. I'm first up so I'll tidy up the kitchen and lay the table for brekkie before he comes down. His present is in dd's room, I think. I smiled when I read about you thinking about a sibling for Ellie. I can't think what to say without it sounding odd but let us know what you decide, when you're ready to, won't you?

gibberish You are a card!

Sorry for posting my to do list so often. I use this thread for reminders and motivation. I'd be lost without it.

To do list:-
~ write e-mail to cousin
~ ironing - the rest of the pile
~ carry junk back to spare bedroom, sorting out as much as poss
~ e-mail friends and family
~ order christening gift once info rec'd
~ hoover throughout rest of house
~ feed neighbour's cat this am, pm and evening
~ get dh to give me contact details for cottage owner this pm so I can send the towel back
~ sort ds, dd and maybe dh out with a packed lunch and all they need for a day out.

By 8am I plan to:- feed the cat, shower and dress, and tidy up kitchen. Will report back. See you all later!

Happy Fathers Day to all those daddies out there

We are all up and colouring "I Love You" pictures. We will let him have a lie-in and I'll make him a full english. He has a nice pressie and a grand total of 4 cards to open! (The kids are all excited and want to go up now!)

EHM How lovely are those cufflinks! What a great idea.

See you all in a bit and hope you have a good day
