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.

Hi Babybear77, welcome to the local area of MN.

check out the links to Dundee Birth Choices (shameless plug)

Sorry you're not enjoying your pg I loved mine and tend to forget about the sheer exhaustion, sore boobs, heartburn and then bad itchy rash at the end (PUPPP)

I'm desperate to do it all again!

bobsyouruncle · 20/10/2008 10:52

Morning all, I'm enjoying a child free couple of hours as my dc are back at school/nursery this afternoon! Anyone else in same boat? Looking forward to a peaceful afternoon with no sibling squabbles too! I've been to Asda this morning and spent too much money, having time to browse at my leisure is dangerous! Did everyone have a nice weekend? We went to Sensations for the first time yesterday, my dc really enjoyed it.

bobsyouruncle · 20/10/2008 10:53

back at nursery this morning I meant! Clearly the excitement is getting to me

clayrethechildslayre · 20/10/2008 10:56

i'm with you bob my dc are back at school and nursery this morning and i have done nothing all morning but sit and enjoy the peace.

bobsyouruncle · 20/10/2008 11:03

My dc were glad to go back too! Off to run round house tidying up before nursery pick up now. Wet and windy out so think ds and I will cuddle up on the sofa with a dvd this afternoon Enjoy the peace while it lasts clayre!

clayrethechildslayre · 20/10/2008 11:13

thank you, the peace runs out at 11.30 , i think me and ds will watch a dvd too, its not raining but very windy here

dizzywitches · 20/10/2008 22:40

bobs - dd1 not back at school till next Mon so another week to go here

had FAB weekend at crieff hydro, would highly recommend it if anyone considering it at all - we were like the clampitts on tour and took a ridiclious amount of stuff for only 2 nights but its that shitey time of year when you never know how many times you're going to get soaked or too cold

kids loved it and still a bit tired tbh but plenty of time to recover this week - esp if still chucking it down tomorrow

was worried wasn't going to get back over bridge this afternoon as was blowing a gale coming home from Arbroath (jumping joeys saved the day!!) and we still had the roof box on the car - made it no problems only to get out of car and soaked for about the 3rd time today!

minipinkscottish · 21/10/2008 09:41

morning all!! Just checking in!!!!

BlackPussyCat · 21/10/2008 16:16

Aaaah Dizzy now I was under the impression you had nipped off to the hydro without children/just with dd3... that's why I was so

Pmsl at "clampitts on tour"

Dh has an annual leave day today which I conveniently coincided with ds's mmr/pneumo jabs. So he has been sent off to do the dirty deed for once - ha! I have taken ds for all his other jabs so it's deffo his turn. Not really looking forward to their return I must say.

Hope everyone is well!

dizzywitches · 21/10/2008 20:51

no no Blackpussycat - in for a penny in for a pound with our lot not only us but the extended dingle clan with my dad, brother, sil and nephew too!

well done on the jab timing - very impressed with your cunning! hope the wee man is ok afterwards

two terrible nights in a row with dd3 so dh let me sleep on this morning whilst he took eldest two to do the tesco shop was 11:30 before I got up - god I love my husband

trip to singing kettle shop and ceramic experience this afternoon

bobsyouruncle · 22/10/2008 10:41

Oh I my dc love the singing kettle, have got my tickets for christmas already! Not like me to be so organised, but after 2 years of sitting in the back row I thought I'd better try harder this year!

dizzywitches · 22/10/2008 20:32

oh heck bobs, maybe I should've checked we could get tickets before hyping up the kids about it - am silly moo, esp seeing as due to dh's shifts we can only go on one day - we don't have a choice of shows

guess who'll be on the phone tomorrow morning

minipinkscottish · 23/10/2008 08:21

at Singing Kettle....when ds 1 and 2 were little I took them to every show and they loved it...ds3 went to a few.... at me but I have never taken any of the LO's although we did go to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and The Snowman on recent Christmas's. Must try to take LO to Singing Kettle sometime soon

Hope everyone is well....bloody awful weather for holidays...roll on Monday

bobsyouruncle · 23/10/2008 11:04

hope you got the tickets ok dizzy?

minipink I can't believe you're depriving your LO's of the singing kettle experience...

TexasChainKLAWmassacre · 23/10/2008 20:44

In a former life I used to do the artwork for Singing Kettle products..............

minipinkscottish · 25/10/2008 08:27

Klaw you really are a multi talented lady

We have a new HV here and she is excellent - has started up BF support group and I am going to help her run it I have made enquiries re BF Diploma with NCT - it looks good - I will let you know

BlackPussyCat · 28/10/2008 15:05

Just checking in... been quiet here lately hasn't it?

Mind you, there are some odd/funny threads on the go just now have been sniggering at some of them!

Hope everyone is well

bobsyouruncle · 28/10/2008 20:42

ikwym blackpussycat, I haven't been posting much, just lurking, maybe it's because it's halloween

BlackPussyCat · 28/10/2008 21:20

You should change your name to bobsyourLurker!

I do enjoy a spot of lurking myself... a lot of the time it seems everyone has said all there is to say, and you can just sit back and munch popcorn watch it unfold

minipinkscottish · 29/10/2008 10:12

Morning all xxx

Hey ladies - apologies for the gate crash - was just wondering whether any of you stayed in or near the metropolis that is Arbroath. My SIL stays up there, and we are quite often up visiting - any recommendations for things to do with an 18 month old - apart from Divitos
