2013 Durham/Teesside/Tyne and Wear greet, meet and eat thread

[ArrowofApollo]

Thought I would start a new thread as the old one is getting full.

Next meet up is on Wednesday 10th April, 10ish at the Durham Botanical Gardens. We will either be in the entrance or staking a couple of the picnic tables by the pond.
I will be giving Vikinglady a lift.

I'll be going to the Airport on wednesday so will have to give it a miss!

be sorry to miss you Viking. arrow you get no sympathy going off to sunny places!

booked ourselves a cottage in the peak district for the end of august. should be nice but bloody hell august is a long way off still.

I think we'll be at botanics 11 ish tomorrow. fees fish, run riot, picnic. possibly soggy picnic but hey ho we won't melt.

curry soon!

Yes it does look like there'll be rain tomorrow! Ah well, bit of water will help them grow! I'll get there about the same time.

I can ask what we're wearing on Saturday now can't I?

depends on the weather and where I'm at with the washing.

golden what bus do you want to get into Durham?

2 nights dealing with the baby and dh has turned into me. he is raiding the kitchen for ice cream and other shit of an evening.

well at least the gardens won't be busy with this weather!

Sorry sorry children are unpredictable! Hope you had fun.

Hope you all enjoyed the gardens yesterday. I visited my Aunt and after commenting how nice her new carpets were my eldest projectile vomited over them...

Indith, had a squizz at bus times, what do you think? Was thinking around 7 ish, but don't mind

Western Ave 18:16 18:46 19:16 19:46

Stags Head 18:22 18:52 19:22 19:52

At least he has lovely manners :o
Hope hes ok btw

golden. guess she got to see how well they wash! the 18.52? next one cuts into cocktail time!

He was pretty much ok once he had annihhilated the carpets, thanks Stealth. Indith the 18.52 will be grand, will see you then.

Woo! Nearly curry time

am actually dribbling at the thought of lamb methi and a large naan. mmmm yummy.

What time do people think they'll get to ebony?

Well me and golden will be there by 7.30.

Chingri sagwala (or however you spell it) and garlic naan. Yum.

Goes to drool at menu whilst at work...

curry!

Woo!

Where's the bloody sun gone?!

thank you you wonderful lot.

forgot my keys. dh had locked the door. whoops! guess I've lost any sleep in points.

Lovely night, great to see you all.

Oh no indith! Bad luck!

Surprisingly I wasnt locked out after getting the last bus. Cocktails and curry - definitely a winning combination!

I was with you in spirit on Saturday - went to bed with A at 8pm, full of lamb bhuna and peshwari naan. Glad you had fun!

Indith - after that late from rowing debacle I reckon he still owed you! ;)

I think his getting his own back was rolling in a little worse for wear at 1.30am this morning after a wedding .

But then he had to get up and sort all the children out this morning

Night weaning was rather undone last night though. Got ds2 down. He woke 45 mins later. I tried to get him back off and failed so left him for a bit. He stopped yelling after a few mins and all was quiet. Waited 5 mins before going to check, assuming he had gone to sleep but he was sitting in the middle of his cot and burst into tears as soon as he saw me :( Cuddled him and he clung to me for dear life (am trying not to feel guilty, only left him a few mins and he merrily goes to sleep on his own for the childminder). Ended up snuggling and feeding on sofa. When dh got home we were in bed together and dh was in no shape to be dealing with him so we spent the night together.

Thankfully my mentor has just done her week of nights so I think I have 6 weeks until I'm on nights and therefore getting a nice long run of uninterrupted daytime sleep!

How has your first week gone, Indith?

first week was good. Lots of learning to do! Shattered after yesterday (13 hour shift).
