i think shaybaz if funny and i'm glad he's not in the line for nominations this week

frodofitz · 22/05/2006 13:38

Bump...is there any of the West York lot out there?

YellowFeathers · 22/05/2006 13:40

Frodo I'm in Barnsley!

Used to live in Wakefield.

frodofitz · 22/05/2006 13:51

cool, will defo have to arrange a meet up then! What made you decide to leave sunny Wakey!

Ah is it your dh/p who is the Barnsley fan? Is he off to Cardiff next week?

YellowFeathers · 22/05/2006 13:55

No he's not going but taken time off work to watch it at home!

Lived on Leeds Road near the Sun Inn if you know it. Dh is a Barnsley man so we moved here but we're off again very soon up to north yorks

frodofitz · 22/05/2006 14:00

Yep i know it...i'm just in Durkar..moved from town centre about 6 months ago, why are you off again? Was one of the most stressful things you can do, not enough for you even with pregnancy on top...i'm a bloody hypocrite...i got married in MAy 05, sold the house in Sept 05 found out i was pregnant in Dec 05, moved in with the in-laws Dec 05, moved to new house Jan 06!

YellowFeathers · 22/05/2006 14:05

Durkar

is that near Sandal?
I only lived in Wakey for 3 years (originally from York).

Dh works in North Yorks and he's been given a new post so commuting is just an expensive nightmare!

frodofitz · 22/05/2006 14:31

Sorry been trying to tidy up..dh convinced i spend all my time on M/N...and how right he is!

Yes just where Asda is ...

Oh poor bloke, does he have to work shifts too or just Mon-Fri? Mine used to work shifts and weekends and it was terrible becuase he also has 3 yr old little boy so half the time when we looked after him he would be at work, hence the reason me and dss are so close.
How old is your little one?

MamatoHoney · 22/05/2006 19:59

YellowFeathers · 22/05/2006 20:03

MamatoHoney · 22/05/2006 20:48

Babys due August and we have dd who is 2 and a half.

I love going to Nandos when we're there.
We were hoping to have movedby now but things are just taking a bit longer than thought. At the very very worst it will be before the end of next month but ideally we hope to be gone asap!

I did the same with emily, we had a problems with pooing for 2wks. she was fully trianed within 3!
she has had one accident in the past 3wks! when we where waiting for the bus as she won't wee outside!
Can't really take the potty on the bus as i have enough thing to carry.

with emily it just clicked apart from the pooing part i left her naked alot, and the first day she wee'd in her pants, the second day she'd put the pants back on when she wanted to wee and the thirdd she figured it out and we had about 5 accidents.
The poo part was sorted when we visited lukes parents over a weekend she showed nanny her poo and she made a big deal of it and ever since i've had one accident.
