Thought I'd be premature and create this thread now.

Currently have this meet up planned:

13th Jan - Miss Tina's in Washington

Indeed spiggy. Jan babies are fab. Christmas ones are trouble Grin

think ds2 has been spending too much time with his sister. upon seeing horse poo on the walk to school he exclaimed "dinosaur poo!"

spiffysquiffyspiggy · 13/03/2014 18:36

Argh was trying to post from the train and it kept saying it didn't work!

VikingLady · 13/03/2014 22:53

Oh ffs. My mooncup is full of chewed date. How the hell did DD climb up to get it, fill it and put it back? She must have climbed from the toilet into the sink and back again!

I guess I just answered my own question.

Ffs why? Just why?!

spiffysquiffyspiggy · 14/03/2014 07:15

Viking, that is completely revolting but have made me Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin this morning.

Indith · 14/03/2014 07:43

Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

MrsTripTucker · 14/03/2014 13:14

LOL!!!

VikingLady · 14/03/2014 22:04

I hadn't expected the random acts of insanity that would be committed by a toddler of my very own! Today she carefully filled one of DH's work boots with cat food and the other with pennies.

Bless. She had her "concentrating" face on.

juneybean · 15/03/2014 12:54

Grin kids eh?! Do I take it you're using the mooncup?

I'm looking forward to cake on Monday!

Yey! So am I :D

Indith · 16/03/2014 07:34

I look like I've been beaten up. Yesterday I clunked my head on the table bending down to pick random bits of discarded food up so I have a lovely egg on my forehead then this morning dh was passing me the baby in bed and managed to drop him head first onto my eye socket which is now swollen and purple. Lovely.

Dcs are going to the CM Monday and Tues for me to get my notes sorted and get going on reading for next year. Enjoy the cake Envy. I want Millies Cookies right now. Will have to make some of my cookies instead. Went to the Metro Centre for shoes for the boy

Advert Soled for Kids in the Village in the Metro is wonderful. The mobile shoes lady who we have used for a while is no longer mobile and has a shop. She stocks mainly Hush Puppies and Startrite but is expanding bit by bit as the business grows. He fitting is wonderful, especially if you have dcs with tricky feet or wide feet. Everything she stocks and sells is about getting a really, really good fit and good quality shoes.

Anyway we parked by the Red Mall so we could go to the Lego Shop which meant we walked passed Millies. I offered to buy a bag of 4 cookies to share for snack but chocolate hating ds1 wouldn't be convinced and then dd and ds2 saw the cookies on lolly stick and dug their heels in. By the time I had bought them one of those each and got ds1 a jam doughnut from Gregg's I couldn't really justify getting myself some cookies too.

It is a very sad story.

I have been awake since 5.15am.

Bloody baby.

Must make breakfast.

Dh and his poor sliced up scrotum is going to owe me big time Grin

(He had his vasectomy)

MrsTripTucker · 16/03/2014 14:56

Oh what a rubbish day!!
Hope your DH has a speedy recovery :)

AnitaBlake · 16/03/2014 19:55

So excited for cake tomorrow :D

juneybean · 16/03/2014 21:09

My newbie isn't coming, they're a teacher so can't do days! But I'm going to point them to this thread for our next night out! :D

Cake

Hurrah for vasectomies!

Indith · 17/03/2014 20:59

Don't cheer too much golden, our future careers rather count on men NOT having vastectomies Grin.

Apparently the key is to remain well supported. He spent yesterday in his rowing lycra over tight underwear. He has been spouting various theories about his balls now no longer being actually attached to anything I'm smiling and nodding and secretly pondering male biology and what will actually come out now. Clearly sperm and the fluid must come form separate places. This is not something I have ever really previously considered Hmm.

Having seen one on a friend's FB I have ordered myself some anatomy and physiology colouring in books Grin. Am very excited! And not because they might answer the above question!

Indith · 17/03/2014 21:02

Oooh google images actually full of biological drawings and not random scrotums.

juneybean · 17/03/2014 22:54

Last year in June I could have told you everything about the make up sperm... alas as soon as I took the biology exam I promptly forgot everything.

The colouring in books sound fascinating!
