Welcome to the crisp shiny new thread! The old one was getting a wee bit stoorie and dog-eared.

Have done my best to list all those from the previous thread, though some may have namechanged since then... hope I've included everyone - apologies to anyone missed.

Just checked my diary.... I could do Friday....

minipinkscottish · 10/12/2008 07:25

yes thanks santaklawa.....just after 1? dizzy? anyone else?

bobsyouruncle · 10/12/2008 11:20

too far for me to fit in around nursery and school runs, but have a good time

SantaKLAWs · 10/12/2008 17:01

Bobs, we'll need to do a Dundee meet up soon to so hang in there....

SantaKLAWs · 10/12/2008 17:04

Have texted Dizzy....

SantaKLAWs · 10/12/2008 17:05

PPC ?

DingDong? should text her...

PoinsettiaPussyCat · 10/12/2008 22:09

I am stll here...! Managed to lose the thread

Have been catching up. I think I will need to hold out for a Dundee meet-up, partly cos my parents are visiting on Fri, and partly as ds goes for an afternoon nap about 1pm. He's doing so much running about(knackering himself out) now that sometimes he can nap for 3 hours and still need to go to bed at the usual time! Suits me fine tho

Dizzy - Meant to say thank you for that invite, you are very kind! One of these days I'll take you up on it

babybear - Hope all is well, absolutely sterling advice from Klaw there. I just wish I'd known about the support that's available on MN when I was struggling to bf. Hang in there

at minipink coming over all broody! Bless!

PoinsettiaPussyCat · 10/12/2008 22:10

Oh yes what has happened to Dingdong??

SantaKLAWs · 10/12/2008 22:25

Right, Dizzy can't do Friday but can do next Thursday. Can anyone else? Will try to decide on the day that MOST people who would like to meet up can do. so we've a choice of this Thursday (me and Minipink can do) or next Thursday (me and Dizzy can do).

Shout out girls, lets get this organised! I think we deserve a Christmas meet up

minipinkscottish · 10/12/2008 23:19

well just to add to confusion i now can't do friday because dh's car has broken and he needs mine till monday

can make next thursday though so let me know

SantaKLAWs · 10/12/2008 23:24

Right then, me, MiniPink and Dizzy can do next Thursday, 1pm at Cupar, I can collect en route and deliver back.

Anyone else?

babybear77 · 13/12/2008 19:50

Hi all,
Santaklaws, MW was out today and she is going to contact a breast feeding support worker. Altho apparently they don't usually come out to the ferry....so will see what happens in that regard, will be in touch if there's no joy (if that's okay). Feel that we're almost there but there's something subtle that I'm missing...if only those nips weren't getting grazed. But the wee fella is definitely getting the hang of it and I guess I am too.
Was considering popping into my works night out but mummy paranoia is preventing me. Is it bad that I haven't eft the house in almost 2 weeks? Anyways, back to the x-factor final...

minipinkscottish · 14/12/2008 08:56

having a winter baby it is hard to get out especially with first babies. try to take a walk every day - wrap up cosy with lo in sling or pram - the fresh air will help both of you and really does help to stave off the early effects of pnd xx take care babybear it sounds like you are doing great xx

DeckHallsWithFIMBOughsofHolly · 15/12/2008 10:29

Can I join in? I live in Norwich but I am originally from Dundee, my parents are still there and live behind the Invercarse Hotel, my pil live in Wormit.

Did anyone go to Harris Academy?

PoinsettiaPussyCat · 15/12/2008 13:27

Hey Fimbo!

Welcome to the thread It's ok, you don't have to produce your birth certificate or anything

I am originally from Stirling (lived here 7.5 years tho), so didn't go to "The Harris" but someone on here must have.

Your folks must have a fab view if they live there.... you coming up for Chrimbo Fimbo??

minipinkscottish · 15/12/2008 15:30

Welcome FIMBO zzz glad you can join us xxx I come from Auchtermuchty in Fife and my friend lives in Wormit and she went to the Harris and another friend lives in Newtyle and she also went there xx

I have finished my Christmas shopping

SantaKLAWs · 15/12/2008 16:50

that Minipink is such a bragger!!!!

dizzyjingles · 15/12/2008 18:22

Hi Fimbo
am originally from outside Glasgow so didn't got to Harris but if thats the one on the Perth Road I lived in halls opposite for a year whilst at uni - bloody school bell didn't help hangovers in the morning!!!!

now living in Tayport with the troops

Klaw, we're booked in for a carriage ride at 11.30 and then story telling before meeting the big man in red on Sunday .

nearly finished Christmas shopping, went in to town this morning to blitz it but kept meeting people we knew so ended up spending most of our time blethering

are we still meeting up on Thurs btw?

got to go, DD2 has apparently just drawn on the floor - I knew it was too quiet

babybear77 · 15/12/2008 20:00

Hello Fimbo,
I'm not a native either...know quite a few folks who went to Harris tho.
Wrt xmas shopping - all I can say is "the internet kicks butt". Moonpig.com is my new best friend!
The rest of this week is going to be spent receiving deliveries. Particularly looking forward to receiving our bushbaby cocoon carrier and my brest friend feeding pillow. When did I become such a bore ?
Just need to get wrapping...oh...and write the xmas cards
Can't wait to take the wee fella to see santa next year. Feel the need to purchase an embarassing outfit for the lo e.g. reindeer, elf etc. Ammo for the future
Thanks to everyone for the their advice. Bad night last night lo up and down like a yo-yo and me increasingly sore (and tearful). HV watched me feed today and the little bugger fed in a textbook manner. She doesn't hold out much hope of a BFSW so i may be in touch yet KLAW...she was v good tho and told me to call her if I was stuck. Fingers crossed.
Byee BB x

clayre · 15/12/2008 20:13

Hi all, i've not posted on this thread for a while, hope everyone is ok?

FIMBO my dad went to Harris, but that was many years ago, he was 5o this year!

SantaKLAWs · 16/12/2008 16:01

I'm still up for it Dizzy! Am away to call and book a story telling session for dd.............

minipinkscottish · 16/12/2008 19:49

I would like to still meet up on Thursday but dh's car is still sick....it was worse than we thought Also should really be back in muchty by 2.30 to see the man in red arrive at ds4's nursery party........sorry guys I have been wanting to meet up for ages but something always seems to come up. I do have a wee suggestion but don;t know if you guys would be up for it....

How about you come to my house? You could come along about 12.30 ish if you like and we could spend a couple of hours chatting and there are plenty of toys for LO's......however, I do need to go to nursery at 2.30....I know that;s rude and cheeky...(come along for a while but please go away by 2.30 ).....don't mean it that way........and I wont be offended if you decline CAT me if you like xxxxx

SantaKLAWs · 17/12/2008 23:00

I did CAT you Minipink and have texted Dizzy to see what she thinks... but no answers.

The only thing is now I've got the cold that dd had last week so not sure if anyone wants to be exposed...........

minipinkscottish · 18/12/2008 07:55

Sorry I have emailed you back now ......
