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.

We seem to have it seeping in at windowsill level in ds1's room.

And I've been up since 3.30am.

And the sleep wasn't up to much before then.

I have already had cake.

But the advantage of snotty child hardly feeding I have already added 10oz to the freezer so dh is sorted for milk on saturday .

does anyone have an animal dress up they could bring on sat they don't mind lending to ds1 for school nativity? it is on the 11th.

I'll have a look. We have mouse/rabbit thing but think it.may be small. Welcome to try though.

Sorry I was on the new android app that last post and I don't like it, hence short post.

Thanks SPB for the offer, sadly I don't think it qualifies.

Ds1 needs an animal that owuld have been in the stable when Jesus was born so a donkey, cow, sheep etc. Please someone have one I have no desire to try to find a nativity animal at this time of year in Asda!

Right my offspring are trying to trash the bathroom, I should probably attend to them.

I've been up since 3.30am. I need caffeine.

but he is an animal that was in the stable when Jesus was born. Human. Send him in in his uniform :o

and I bet that stable was riddled with mice
(that said we seem to have more rabbit ears than mouse ears)

what time shall we book a taxi for?

I'd lend you my DS's but I am pretty certain there were no crocodiles in the stable .
What size do you need? I'll ask around my local mummies?

Unfortunately my costume repertoire consists of elf, pirate and princesses at the moment, not very manger-ish, I'm afraid.

Don't mind when the taxi is booked for - anyone thinking 11 ish? Will go with the flow. Small brain is very frazzled...

Fecking rowing

What's up? Does this mean you won't be getting a lie in on Sunday?

No he's rowing all day Saturday so I will definitely be getting the Sunday lie in!

Did you get your lie in?

Reminder - next meet up, Tuesday December 11th, 10.30 at the Slug and Lettuce.

Will be there this time. Monday would have been better though so I have an excuse to avoid swimming

I'll be on my way to York by that point on Tuesday alas.

Leggy - are you free to meet up for a coffee on Queen's Campus on the 18th? I think I will be childfree as I am sure that is the week CM asked to have DD mon/tue instead of tue/thu.

Meetup 11th! Have invited another mner friend she is hoping to come too.

Ala, 18th is our Xmas dinner at Durham! Might not be back to QC at all until next Autumn now! (Should probably tidy my stuff up on my desk before baby though! Will let you know when I schedule that.)

If the A1 isn't a white out like yesterday and we are free from the lurgy, love to slide along to the next meet up and drink wine, stuff face with cake, oh ok, meet you lovely people.

yay do come trifle!

The more the merrier :)

Tuesday 11th, Slug & Lettuce (near the Gala Theatre) about 10.30am.

oooh that would be nice.

would everyone mind whispering today. I have a bit of a sore head...

I can hold a grudge for a very long time y'know.

I keep remembering things that happened last night. people had cameras. urgh. There was some singing. and some dancing. and a lot of fake 'tache wearing. I feel sorry for the poor sod who had to try and pour me into the taxi. For some reason I decided it would be a good idea to cheer him up with a big hug and a kiss (on the cheek- I wasn't that drunk) don't think it had the desired effect.

Viking I hope J got home ok. I think he escaped before it got too wild.
