Ahh JKS how horrible hope your okay, someone tried to burgle us last year I arrived home to find side door kicked in, I felt awful for weeks, can't imagine how I'd feel if I was there, poor you

Doing the loo run every hour at night is a killer, getting in and out of the bed for me at that stage was the hardest! Hope you get your room sorted. I remember we broke our bed the day i was due! no nookie involved it just gave way! major disaster as i was on a role with the whole nesting cleaning thing! So DP was sent out to get a bed that day and was told not to come home without one!
You will get there all in good time.

Hey CWWM, glad your DP is getting his finger out, I think he had abit of a oh crap I've got another person to be responsible for moment a while back, I know my dh has sadi before ours were born he got hit with this feeling of responsibility (sp) and we've only 3

And stop panicking you've done this 5 times already and I'm sure you have more than enough bedding, unless you are not a hoarder like me and had the same babygro on each of my babies when they were born
Right getting all broody now even with Flame reminding me of the morning sickness

Comewhinewithme · 21/04/2009 14:55

Maybe pbm .Think he has realised that he went too far but we shall see .

He has gone to do the school run now !

WRT the blankets I have nothing really I gave loads away to a friend because I was never having anymore and she has moved away now so looks like all new bedding . I am not a hoarder I am ruthless throw or give loads away then regret it .

Muppet

Dude seems ok - he is whingy, but he is tired, so not surprising.

MuppetsMuggle · 21/04/2009 18:07

Flame glad Dude is okay

JBB - hope your okay?

CWWM - How are you today

TA - I fancy the pub too LOL, but i'm treating myself to a chinese instead, DP has gone straight to his mums from work, so he'll be having dinner round there. Our local chinese does egg fried rice, chip & curry sauce for £3.10 and the best chips in Pompey

PlumBumMum · 21/04/2009 18:40

MM I love a curry half 'n' half now and again

JKS Hope your okay you make sure you treat yourself to something nice tonight

CWWM good luck with your mum tomorrow, your v good considering how she treats you!

Well I was agood girl today and booked the bouncy castle

also rang about cake topper for dd1s cake £22
rang another shop £40 , imagine if I was buying the whole bloomin cake

I knew the first shop would be 22, as we don't have sugarcraftshops overhere, its the only one remotely near me and thats how much it would cost to buy and post from England
but the other was a wee cake shop not far from me, who used to sell them for £17

(((Plum is off to see if she can open a sugarcraft store in Lisburn)))

PlumBumMum · 21/04/2009 18:48

Oh and tried dd1s dress etc on her and thank god cummunion in 2 weeks shes getting taller and her shoes fit her perfect, they were too big in January

TrillianAstra · 21/04/2009 18:49

Plum if you want me to pick you anything up and send it let me know dp works in city centre so central to loads of shops .
