Hello Dundee and surrounding areas!

[Klaw]

Hello MNetters!

Anyone live local?

Tayside, Angus, Perth & Kinross, North Fife?

hi all not been on much as it wasn't showing up on threads i'm on...so i thought it'd went all quiet!! tis very strange

Think i'm gonna need to avoid this thread tho all this talk of strawberry tarts and custard slices is making me

MPC Not so good your not feeling well, certainly got your hands full...i hope you've got them all looking after you!! I think i seen your youngest DS and DD at the school they are sooo cute!

hoohoo - this is the bermuda triangles of threads, we all lost it for a while!!
and you cannot avoid the strawberry tart - they'll get you wherever you are!

Bermuda triangle? More like a Dairylea triangle. Hmph. I am having a 'fat' day and have eaten all the bad things in this house, our fruit bowl is bursting with fresh fruit, there is tropicana in the fridge etc and what have I eaten? Cake, mr kiplings viennese whirls and 2 packets of hula hoops... It's just because all those things are easy to just grab + shove in your mouth, I never seem to get a minute to even make myself a sandwich!
So not impressed with myself at the moment.

Hope everyone is well and not all lost this thread! T'is a bit slippery at times!

PPC - am right there with you and about to open massive bag of doritos and multi dips all for me, myself and I?!?!?

Ah but you have the best excuse going, Dizzy!

drops in to say hi and see how everyone is.....

PPC - am sure gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins, not one of the 7 very important reasons

hi Klaw, did you get home ok? I came down on Friday and was blown about all over the sodding place!

Hey Dizzy, yeah I got home ok!

Hope to go back through during April Easter hols. There's a screening of The Business of Being Born organised by Birthchoices so my friend and I would like to go.

hi all - everyone doing ok? Apart from being bloody freezing its getting brighter - one step closer to cairnie farm!!!

Minipinkscottish - everything ok, you've kind of disappeared!

Hello to dizzy + klaw... yes where is MPS?
Disappeared into the Dairylea Triangle?

Aye the days are fair drawin oot, nae be lang till the clocks change....

Bit of a crap day today, went to the huge Kingsway Tesco for week's shop and guess what? At the checkout I discovered I'd left my purse at home. So I feel as if the whole day has been spent driving back + forth to Tesco's. What a numpty.

Hello all

It is getting a bit brighter isnt it. At last!

Poor you PPC, what a nightmare. I always worry that I'm going to forget to bring my purse to tescos, but luckily havent done it yet! What happened - did you have to abandon your shopping and do it all again later, or did they just let you put it to one side?
Sounds like you will have to sit down and relax now with a nice cup of tea and a cake!

Hey LPP! Where ya been?

Tea + cake have been consumed, don't worry! They just put my bagged shopping aside in the 'chiller' and I went back to pay for it about an hour later. Poor ds, two trips to Tesco in one morning - he looked quite puzzled!

Anyhoo... how's life?

oh PPC - huge sympathies re Tesco, my shift won't come to supermarket with me as I always have a checkout disaster - they either crash or breakdown or I forget my purse am cursed lol

lovely day over here with us but BLOODY freezing!! can't wait for it to warm up and me and kids are getting cabin fever spending so much time indoors!

I've been about, just havent been on this thread for a little bit. Not sure why really, seeing as the recent topics of shopping and eating are basically my 2 major "hobbies"
Anyway, been keeping myself busy trying to both keep the kids under control, as you say dizzydixies, not easy when its so cold that you feel like you deserve some sort of medel for bravery just for going outside! Hopefully will start to warm up soon, and then can start trips to the park again.

we braved castle green on Thurs - yee gods was bloody freezing, needless to say we were the only ones there and left very quickly lol

Hi all - not disappeared just been sooooo busy with stuff - oldest had swimming comp - got parent interviews to do etc...

Anyway...hope all is well....

Thinking of starting mat leave middle May around 32 wks...so ready or strawberry tarts anytime

minipink - just glat to hear all well! not surprised you're thinking about starting matty leave, I'll just be glad to get back to work before am off lol

was just thinking today what a beautiful day it was although very cold, not quite picnic weather yet but soon hopefully!!

Was my first day on the post natal ward at the hospital today as Volunteer BF Peer Supporter.... GULP! Very nervous and hope I didn't freak anyone out...

Have been busy supporting mum with twins in Largo one or two days a week, they are long days but so rewarding!

Have loved the bright days but could do without the bitter, cutting gales

And our car issues are all sorted, for now at least, so I'm safely mobile YAY!!

DD started at playgroup two days a week and loves it, told me to 'go away' when I dropped here off first time, I was trying to make sure that she knew about telling staff when to go to toilet. No separation anxiety there, then! But was well pleased to see me and dp when we went to collect her. She loves it!

Bless, she's just been blowing my nose for me!! She's very good at blowing her nose and it's so sweet that she's mothering me too! What a little angel

Klaw your dd sounds like a wee cracker. My dd1 was the same, never looked back from her first visit, dd2 a wee bit more wary but she was younger and that only lasted a few days!!

Glad you've got car all sorted, the weather had been horrendous gale wise, my drive down the road on Fri was worst have done in over 13yrs of living up here. was very glad when it was all over.

Am sure you were brilliant on the ward, everyone is just so grateful for one on one attention with such an important potentially tricky thing. I needed more help with dd2 as dd1 was a dream feeder but dd2 and I never seemed to get it quite right - will no doubt be giving it another try this time round! when do you go back in again?

At the moment I've put myself down to do Thursday mornings, as I get more experienced I hope to do more.

will make a mental note to have this baby on a wed evening!

Have the baby when ever you want if you ask me to join you in labour

No Obligation though!

lol

must call my friend again to arrange to go visit second week in April... and organise night out to The Business of Being Born through Birth Choices UK, remind me to call her tomorrow
