We are fully kitted out in hivis and helmets, and I'm pretty cautions on the roads... touch on wood!
If I walk up to Clepington road there's not much in the way of hills after that ...

Well, we just got back from our mammoth cycle ride to camperdown and we are both ready for bed
It was pretty good, but freeezing, as you may imagine. Jamie managed to go from 3 rides to 5 rides, a hot choc and a hot dog without too much trouble

We went to Camperdown too (drove there ).
Got there reasonably early, so it wasnt too busy. Managed to spend far too much money on rides for the kids. They also managed to get loads of free sweets from the Radio Tay stand, so were pretty pleased with themselves .

dizzychixies · 23/03/2008 22:02

we decided against it but only because my brother and his wife and my nephew came up to visit and the kids were happy as larry doing easter egg hunts in the garden and decorating the cakes I'd baked

my girls absolutely shattered and went to bed without complaint and the wee man no doubt fell asleep on the drive home

dingdong05 · 25/03/2008 10:08

My saddle area is now too sore to get back on the bike...
I knew it as a mistake going out on the bike again yesterday...

Klaw · 25/03/2008 19:39

admiration for Dingdong!! My lady bits need an armchair to stay comfy on a bike...

Just been too cold and windy for me to consider anything more than hanging out the washing

hello all! not been on the local bit for a while and there is even more of us, Hello to all the new peoples.

evening ladies

so I went to soft play bonkers in cupar today as was on own with both dds and needed to get some college work done

its nice and clean and was quiet
expensive enough though and a bit limited on the food front - the whole of the bottom of the cabinet is FULL of sweeties on display which of course was all dd2 wanted

still, clean and safe so that was the main thing

fingers crossed for some drier weather with the clocks changing!

minipinkscottish · 30/03/2008 21:07

I've never been to bonkers and yet I am in Cupar all the time....where is it? xx

dizzydixies · 30/03/2008 21:57

hi minipink

do you know the car park behind the co-op
and you can keep going through the car park and out the back? its there

how are you keeping? how is minipink doing?
looking forward to the easter break no doubt?

minipinkscottish · 31/03/2008 17:37

Thanks dizzy - I am going to take wee ones there one day this week.

I am holiday now for 2 weeks and when I go back i have 4 weeks till maty leave starts. For me that really means only 11 days to work

I am a bit fed up at the moment - bump is huge and I feel very uncomfortable and tired - don't think I've seen 10pm for weeks However, everything seems fine and I am looking forward to the 4d scan I have booked for 19th April - I'll be 27 weeks

How are you? Bet you're glad to be able to get out a bit now.

Take care xx

dizzydixies · 31/03/2008 17:56

am delighted but still taking it easy iyshim? we're just back from a long walk out towards tentsmuir and round the park. the pair of them are still going strong and I'm fading!!!

am back at work on thurs for 4 shifts so will see how that goes. Am planning on going off matty leave at beginning of juky and using annual leave to bring it forward a bit

am only 23wks and feel massive too - thank goodness for this tubi-grip the physio gave me, I think its helping!

whats this 10pm you speak of?!?!?! Am the same although a tad worried as this week my shift is 3pm-11pm so will have to try not fall asleep at my desk

minipinkscottish · 01/04/2008 16:27

Took ds and dd to Bonkers today - thanks Dizzy!! They had a fab time and so did I - lots of tea and I sat in big comfy sofa and read my book Two hours of peace - bliss

Will be going again before these hols are over!!

Hope everyone is ok xx

dizzydixies · 01/04/2008 20:23

all well with us thanks, if I'd had good sense I should've come through am met you

we went to look at cars today as will need a new one before dc 3 arrives and we can't afford one some major shuffling and belt tightening to be done me thinks

glad you managed to relax x

babyboos · 02/04/2008 02:20

hi guys can i join you mum to wee boy 10 mnths in dundee

dizzydixies · 02/04/2008 10:18

hi babyboos welcome to thread
we pop in and out of here when it suits but its great for recommending local places to go and to avoid lol

minipinkscottish · 02/04/2008 10:56

Hi babyboos!!

Dizzy - I'm off to Cairnie in about an hour for a little play!! Hope it doesn't rain!!

dizzydixies · 02/04/2008 10:57

ooohhh lovely, I have an apt with our force medical advisor which is a load of sh*te and waste of time but hey ho - have to do it.

been cooking up a storm this morning and picking up the girls at 1 - will have to keep them out so dh can sleep off his nightshift!!

dingdong05 · 02/04/2008 13:13

Hiya babyboos.
Gawsh, there must be half a dozen of us now!

minipinkscottish · 02/04/2008 16:03

Dizzy - ended up in Cupar at park as cairnie was closed - ver disappointing as it was such a nice day we had fun at park though xx

was it a return to work interview?

dizzydixies · 02/04/2008 18:48

we were in St andrews for a wee while this afternoon which was nice. cupar park looks great, I can't believe Carnie is still closed esp during easter holidays and when its nice weather, you think they would open and let people make their own choice as to whether to freeze their kids or now

maybe they don't need to, maybe they take enough money over the summer

its an ongoing thing with the FMA as I was on a phased return, think they want to make sure am mentally stable, its a complete PITA to be honest but I have to be seen to be playing nice

minipinkscottish · 03/04/2008 15:23

Oh well - good luck anyway! Just think though it wont be long till your off again with the LO

kofiwan · 06/04/2008 12:31
