[biglips]

ahhh thats better - a nice new fresh thread....

incase anyone is still reading this post....me, Dp and DD had a great day yesterday at the formby squirrel reserve as ive never been before and took loads of photos of them on mobile phone, we were feeding them with their foods and also our grapes as we had a pinic but DD who never seen the squirrels before was shouting "MIRRELS" "MIRRELS" before they all vanished in thin air...i was trying my best to say "ssshhhhhhh" !!

Heeyyy BL i didnt know this woz ere, Hello all good to see so many from Liverpool

WELCOME stoppin ..... nice to see you here

Glad you had a lovely holiday x

Hiya to the newies - where about are you (in Liverpool?)

Joec - hope you took some photos for me and for your wedding album, did you enjoy it? My brother came this afternoon for his dinner and after we collected the kids from school, we all went up to The Pub in the Park for pints and pints of ice cold shandy! I'm really looking forward to going away this weekend - we're going camping in the Lake District - I'll report back what it was like .

oh im in shock as DD slept till 7.45am this morning - had nearly 13 hours solid sleep!!!! she never done that before!!

ps Browny have a lovely time!!! wheres my rock pls?? as im still waiting!!!!

gosh its so grim here today as im waiting for a bad freak rain to come as its ssooooo dark.

hope everyone had a good weekend as i went out yesterday with mum shopping in town yesterday and bought a few clothes in the sale as they are lovely stuff in New look..it was funny as i put DD onto one side of the aisle whilst i was looking for clothes in the same aisle, me and mum could hear some little one saying "OH NO!, OH NO!" and it was my DD, she was looking thru the clothes and was saying Oh no! to it - seh probably didnt like it

hiya, it was my ds1 7th birthday on Monday and the poor little birthday poor came down with Chicken Pox, he's covered in spots now, mainly on his chest and back, but they're still appearing by the hour, I think the Piriton has made a massive difference and he's hardly scratching at all, so who wants to bet how long it'll take my ds2 to come down with them too?

Browny - poor DS. Chickenpox is miserable, esp when they're a little bit older and can SCRATCH! I had both DDs down with it in Feb/March. WOuld give it just a couple of weeks and then I'm sure DS2 will be down with it. Hope DS1 had a good birthday, despite the CP! Did you get anywhere with the builders? All building work finished with us now - the decorating is getting done slowly but surely!
Joec - good luck with all the preparations - that's half the fun!
Julzeboo - hope you are keeping well and jellybean is growing nicely!
BL - how're you and your fashion conscious DD doing?
We had a lovely (though hectic) time in Ireland. So many relatives to get around - my mum and dad come from the typical large Irish families. Both DDs were very good and impressed everyone with their cuteness.
We've just had some lovely photos back from the nursery of the two of them - I'm a very proud mummy!!
HOpe everyone ok

Hi JAMMY, the builder came to our house to give me a quote for the work, but he has yet to contact me [angry}, glad your's is coming along though. Sounds like you had a marvellous time in Ireland, I've never been and would love to go. Ds1 is very upset with the CP, it is day 4 now and he is still getting spots, they're everywhere, his head, eyes, between the fingers, groin, chest back and everywhere else that I haven't mentioned. He has a raging temperature and complained of being very dizzy when he woke up. So, I've been dosing him with Ibuprofen and Calpol, Piriton and calamine lotion.

Hi Browny
Sorry DS is suffering so badly. I found that medised helped my two. You can also get calomine and aqueous lotion which combats the drying (and itching) effect of calomine alone. Hope he gets better soon.
Try giving the builder a ring to jolly them along. We've found that although our guy has been fab at the building, he's a bit naff at the admin side, which is why he's a builder, not an accountant, I suppose.
Hope all the rest of your littlies are ok - have the girls and you and DH all had CP?

Hi JAMMY, thanks for the tips, everyone here had had the CP except my ds2, so we're taking bets on when his first spot will appear. Ds1 seems a lot better today, but there are still a few spots that are blisters still and have yet to 'pop', so I don't see him going into school next week either, they break up on Friday anyway for the summer. Have a lovely weekend, it's going to be hot, hot, hot!

Biglips - where are you? You've been very quiet lately!!!

Hi Liverpool thread - my DH has just accepted a job in Liverpool we will be moving over from Washington DC early 2007.

We have some history - were both students there, met and got married there (13 years ago today) and had our dd1 in the womens hospital when it was brand new.

Looking forward to showing the area to all the children - we will be visiting the squirrels!

Welcome apronstrings, love your name!!.

I've got four children, two girls and two boys, my eldest daughter is 10 and my youngest son was 2 in May. Where about in Liverpool will you be living?

Oh, Happy Anniversary!!! It's our 11th wedding anniversary this month too!

thanks - don't know where yet - coming over in August to have a good look at the old place - also have 4 - two girls two boys - oldest 10, youngest 14mths

Welcome Apronstrings!
Happy Anniversary! And to you too Browny!
I'm well behind you two - only 2 DDs, 2.5 and 9 months (6 yrs married) but after DH swooning over a nine week old baby at a wedding we went to at the weekend that may change soon...
Yes, Biglips where are you??
How's the chicken pox doing, Browny?

JAMMY, - wow, so that's why you had your extension built , hope you get some happy news soon!. Ds1's chickenpox have still not 'crusted over' (lovely term!), he was really narky yesterday but he's much more himself today. Have just noticed that ds2 has been scratching, don't know yet if it is cpox but will watch him closely.

Apronstrings, where are you from originally? Have you family in Liverpool? Fancy our children being quite close in age . Keep in touch with all your 'moving' news, you must be busy planning away!

hi everyone and welcome apronstrings.
browny is dd1 gets chicken pox now he will hopefully be ok for the wedding... well fingers crossed so you will still be ok to go.

Browny - don't hold your breath. I'm not as brave as Nemo to have them so close.
Hope you are doing ok Nemo, if you're watching!
Joec - have you reached the 4 week countdown yet?

Hiya JAMMY, you can't argue with a broody man! That's how I ended up with 4, he'd like even more!. Are you in stuck in work in this heat?

I am always watching jaamy...pmsl

Hope everyone is ok
