Your ds1 sounds like a wee angel nelix!
I fancied doing an ou course at one point, but feel as if my brain has melted after having ds... I can just about manage to scrape through the day and do the odd shift, but to suddenly have to come over all 'studious' in the evenings... nae chance

What course are you doing?

lol they really do need a nosey emotion!!!...I am doing a degree in literature completed 1st year no worries. Had exams for half way through second year a month ago so awaiting results and am now completeing second year. Hopefully will be finished it before this baby makes an appearance!
DS is an angel...never screams around asda...............much

Wow! Literature eh? Dh always fancied himself as a writer and does some stuff for an american magazine now + again.

I am currently in the huff about John Sargeant leaving Strictly. Waiting to watch the live press conference on BBC News channel. I used to have a life.....

How is everyone else?

Hi all! Welcome nelix xx very of your course....I love writing and would love to do a book one day but my life is so full already that I think I may be 90 before i amnage it

I'm with you on the John Sergeant thing OPPC xxx

All well here....well mostly......,,,always some sort of drama with 6 bairns but nothing major!!!!!!!

Helloooooooooooooooooooo.........I can hear the tumble weed.....where are you all????

Hello im here briefly lol.

Well had Cammy at the King Cross Hospital today and he gets his hearing aids next Friday. My little boy is gonna hear the world!! shocked at how quick they are getting everything for him. But he was a little angel and let them take ,moulds and everything.
Innes is nearly walking and is a big bully to little Cammy lol so its a mad house at ours.
I however i'm just absolutely washed out feel really drained and very pregnant!! I'm also sick of the comments oh no girl, you'll be disappointed etc etc I just want to scream
ok moan over
Hope everyone is well.
MPS How's Mackenzie liking nursery?

Not been on here much lately sorry! I think it's a combination of a head full of christmas shopping (it's ok to admit that now it's 1st December isn't it? ) and the fact the ds has discovered the Fireman Sam website and I can never get on the computer!? Hope everyone is fine and I will make more effort to check in from time to time!

me too! sorry!
mix of dealing with dad in hosp for hip replacement so been up and down the road a lot

all well though, fingers crossed! just have to do the Christmas shopping now

my mum had a hip replacement 3 years ago dizzy, big op and long recovery but she's doing great now! Think she may need the other one doing in the next few years though...

hi there...........

thought i was all alone there for a bit

Hello All..

Welcome Nelix, I am also in Angus

Sorry for short post last night. Abbie started screaming.... poor dolly has sore gums...strange thing is that Abbie might get first tooth for Christmas and Taylor has her first wobbly tooth

HiDizzy sorry to hear your dad has been in hosp...hope he is up and about soon. My sil had an accident when she was 17 that meant she needed a hip replacement when she was 22 and she had a second one at 30. It's amazing - you wouldn't even know.

Good to hear from you Klaw. What have you been doing? I am doing bf peer support training in the new year with a view to do bf counselling diploma in the future. bf support group in 'muchty is going well.

hello to everyone else

thanks bobs I think he's doing ok, the wound is infected but he's on antibiotics and home now so feeling better for that

minipink ah the excitement of loosing the teeth, DD1 lost a couple during the summer and thinks she's very grown up now sorry to hear about poor Abbie's teeth, have you tried Teetha powders? worked wonders for my girls

lovely to see you yesterday PPC your wee one is just a wee cracker, even DH commented and thats not like him at all!!

Hi Dizzy! I just popped on to say lovely to see you yesterday, but you beat me to it! That was a very nice chance meeting. And your dd3 is just beautiful, what a fab smile

Aw that was nice of your dh, yes ds does look very angelic but omg he is hard work atm. I think he is starting the terrible 2's early (Ponders whether that means they will finish early also...)

Hi minipink how is ds4? Hope he's feeling a bit better.

Jenny How's pregnancy treating you these days? Hope ds2 is getting on ok with his hearing aids etc.

Hi Klaw Love the way you 'swept in' there

And to Bobs and nelix Hope everyone is well!

thank you PPC and was utterly genuine offer for you to bring him over and have a play with DD2 - although not right at moment as she is lying on couch feeling sorry for herself having coughed up her lungs all day

maybe after Christmas though

Minipink, I'm a bit busy with MSLC, BF peer support and now three ladies expecting in Jan, Feb and March. spent a month emailing and on the phone to a previous lady whos birth didn't go to plan last year and I'm delighted to say that she has now dealt with her issues and her local KCND mw has been very helpful.

Dundee Birth Choices is struggling with getting bums on seats so we have to rethink what we offer. And we need to get more advertising out there, but with no budget that's not an easy task, plus the NHS are not keen to promote a non NHS service

Supposed to be at Montrose tomorrow for a meeting about Supervisors of Midwives but forecast is NOT good. I expect to wake up to being snowed in and unable to go

DS has started his prelims and seems to be happy with his GF. DD is getting excited about Christmas.

I want to sleep and to be warm.

Hey Dizzy

am battoning down the hatches here too Klaw - should be fun with 3 kids bouncing off the walls

your lo bounces off walls already? she is an early developer

well DD2 was launching a ball at her this evening trying to get her to play catch so lordy only knows what tomorrow has in store [meep!!]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOO Don't want SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!

Klaw I am very interested in the Birth Choices group but as you can imagine it is a bit far for me to go when I have the 6 dc's to deal with.....how could I help from afar? Would it be possible to set up a web based support or information service? I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to start though as not that computer literate. We should meet up for a chat Klaw. Dizzy....know what you mean about children bouncing off walls because it might snow....and that's just my big ones

Can't wait to hear about it!

Seriously though I hope you manage to have a lovely day regardless.

dd spent a good while just traipsing round our little back garden while dp deforested his car this morning, and she wants to make a snowgirl, even checked out the cupboard for carrots.

Me? I just don't have the right clothes for cold weather

I would love to pap them out the back garden but dh didn't manage to lift the dog poop before the first snow fall and thats just not a risk I'm willing to take

DD2 wasn't great today with horrible cough/snot thing going on so we pretty much had a cosied up day infront of peppa pig - she's off her food so she's definately not right bless her

DH to be in work by 6.30am as they're expecting carnage on the roads - am not sure how they expect THEM to get in but hey, as long as they do which means I'll be doing the school run on my own with all of them hopefully not knee deep in snow

It's started!

The snowflakes are fluttering down....

really don't want to miss out on meeting at Montrose but as I had to give up getting into dundee on tuesday I really don't think montrose will be a good idea...

problem on Tuesday was a bit of snow, a broken down lorry on the Kingsway and I believe there was an accident also but when I heard on Tay FM that tailback was as far back as Petterden I decided it was not worth sitting in it and doubled back

Give dd2 a squidge for me

radio tay are normally really good at up to minute info, its our best way to get it all across

we got caught coming back up road from glasgow on Sun night at Stirling, broken down wide load or something and that was cold enough

shall squidge her in the morning if you don't mind

Ok call me paranoid if you wishwink but are you not hearing me???? I know you 2 Dizzy and Klaw wouldn't ignore me......feel like I'm in the same room but not involved in the chat........
