Durham / Teeside / Tyne & Wear Meet up and random chat thread.

[KaraStarbuckThrace]

Next meet up, Tuesday 4th September.
During the day, either Botanic Gardens in Durham or the Slug and Fiddle near the Gala Theatre in Durham City centre.

Now for some random chat.
DS sang a song about bolognaise today. And DD walked some more. But still prefers crawling and using my nipples as handholds on Mount Starbuck.

Oo, T has some wierd spots down the inside of her arm. Took her to the GP before nursery yesterday and she didn't know what they were (T's had chicken pox anyway) and to just keep an eye on it. V strange!

There are just so many bugs and things going round at the moment.

Very true, Indith!
Will let M know.

Bit of advice for you all.

If you see a thread started by someone called "dinosaursonanadventcalander" or similar, avoid her. She is a troll. Juney knows who I mean.

She has sucked in a few kind MNers :(

Merry Christmas everyone! In the end I got a diary from Waterstones for biggish and similar for littlish. Experience now tells me that littlish will have total meltdown because it is not the SAME as biggish's.

I got 2 Fur Real dogs in lieu of the toy guinea pig. Everything comes in 2 now. I expect that they will be forgotten by lunch time on Boxing Day.

And I got me newest 'last sling' from DH. He didn't know what he bought me till I brought it home from the post office, iyswim. This one is gorgeous and will function as a pashmina. And I am sticking with that answer.

The spots without scabbing over sound like hand foot and mouth. Seen it once on one of my girls.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas . Hope everyone having a fab day. Children have crashed after waking at fucking 2:45 to open their stockings, DH has taken over dinner and I am chock full of codeine that I had to take to stave off a migraine. Which was rubbish but did mean I got out of visiting the in-laws and I now feel veeeeery chilled and relaxed. Is hard to get stressed out when you have large quantities of opiates in your bloodstream

Merry Christmas!
DCs are pleased with their haul. I'm less pleased to be still full of cold!

Urgh to the cold Kara, hope it doesn't spoil your day.

Bah. Children have been revived by 10min nap. Back to the refereeing....

I'm booooooooooored. In work for another hour and 10mins thankfully our office not open til 8pm tonight and there is me and 1 other person left. I'm fed up of writing my report and I can't even talk to the other person as she has to be on the phones.

Somebody entertain me.

Bah. You lot are no good. I've resorted to . Strangely the report writing is going a lot easier now....

Help me with my menstrual cup and I will talk to you

What's the problem? I've only got 7mins left to go- woo hoo! as long as E doesn't get stuck on a long call

I've got a thread about it somewhere but I keep leaking, its a meluna I tried medium but it was too big and now I've got small but I'm still leaking rawr

sorry did a runner yesterday so never got to reply.

I use a mooncup so not sure about other types. on the mooncup I had to cut the stem off completely to make it comfy. is it leaking before it is full?

have finally got one of those magic t' intetnet phones. think I'm in love

Ooo what kind of phone you got? I do love my HTC!

It doesn't have a stem as such, it's like a ring to help pull it out maybe it's only leaking over night so I don't know if it's because it's full or what, I'll try again next cycle otherwise I might have to wait 'til I've had kids and my foof is a bit bigger!

nowt special, just a samsung that was free with the contract but I can now mn and fb anywhere

hmm if it just leaking at night then it may be getting full. I get that for a couple of nights when things are very heavy bastard coil I use a washable pad as well on those nights just in case

Well I don't know about cake but are we up for a daytime meet in the new year?

Oh yes! Meeting leggy on 21 st but always time for more meet ups. Got a couple of meetings in Jan but may also be able to take a day off

are you 2 snubbing us?

What shall we do then?

Maybe not this time but does anyone fancy wheelbirks at some point? Don't know how far it is for some of you. It is many kinds of amazing though, I only discovered it recently. I have sleeping baby and pnly half a hand to type with so no link but google wheelbirks ice cream parlour.

Nope meant there was a meeting leggy meet arranged for the 21st so she can have cake before the new baby arrives but that was too long to type additional cake meet ups a bonus

Ooops I missed that bit of info!

It was arranged in the pre Christmas rush- think you said you didn't know what you were doing next week let alone Jan looks like you were right!

sounds about right! does it have a time and place yet? I shall attempt to out it on the calendar.
