Yeah, I'm fine. How was France?

I am so looking forward to tonight, and sooooooo disappointed that I'll probably be driving.

Nanou1 · 31/08/2006 12:32

france was good but not relaxing! too many kids to cook breakfast for!!!! worked wonders on dd's languages cos she has french and british cousins together! 2nd week was spoilt by breaking in our london home... so was glad to be home in some ways. really looking foward to tonight too.

Uwila · 31/08/2006 12:55

Oh no. What was taken from your house?

Nanou1 · 31/08/2006 13:10

jewelry, (like engagement ring; family jewerly very previous + sentimental value), cards, phones, etc etc. got to get some lunch - am starving!

MrsBigD · 31/08/2006 13:22

sorry ladies, won't be able to joint you tonight after all and I even got the badges done this morning!

just spent the last hour or so in the bathroom at work saying 'goodbye' to my lunch [sad}[sad}[sad} Shall sit here at my desk now and move as little as possible whilst sipping chamomille tea until it's time to go home and to collapse.

I'm going to shoot my boss no. 2. He's had a stomach bug and I think he's passed it on to me! [sad}[angry}[sad}

Sorry to hear you were burgled - how horrible for you

Nanou1 · 31/08/2006 14:17

thanks fatfox. was very and
oh no mrsbigd.... am quite happy to shoot your boss for you; just ask! wont be the same without you. hope you feel better soon.

Uwila · 31/08/2006 14:37

Oh no... Sorry Mrs.BigD. DH and I currently negotiating which pics we want. Of course we each settled on about 10 pictures we like and our lists had a grand total of one picture in common.

Sorry we'll have to miss the guacamole, oh I mean you. But... uh... since you are unwell... STAY AWAY FROM ME.

Nanou, how very horrible. Your engagement ring? for you.

Nanou1 · 31/08/2006 14:42

am glad am not the one "negotiating" with my dh ROFL
Uwila... remind me again.... do you work for the diplomatic services ?! ROFL

quokka · 31/08/2006 14:43

sj just dragged down the coat from the loft to realise it will be too big (2yrs). Then again it could be a full length coat? I have a snowsuit but I think that will be too small (its label is in french but I think its 3-6 or 6-12)! Sorry about that, I will bring some cd's though

Nanou, sounds horrible and so close to me!

MrsBigD · 31/08/2006 14:43

Uwila don't worry I'm staying away from you.
Glad to hear that you and dh are arguing about the pics that means there's something in there for everybody's taste . Dare I ask which one was the one both of you agreed on?

Nanou1 might take you up on the offer of shooting my boss... I hate chamomille tea

Hello ladies!

Just had a read thru and i'm glad my house isn't the only lived in place about! Dh is obsessed with it being tidy but has had to give up as ds1 has mastered the art of trashing a room in under 30sec!

MrsBD, hope you feel better soon.... We've all had the bug and its not very pleasant.

Have a good night and i'm really jealous. Still, maybe in a year or ten i'll leave my house!!

Uwila · 31/08/2006 14:48

It's the close-up of DD where she is actually smiling.

Nanou1 · 31/08/2006 14:54

did you bring them along so that we have a look uwila?

Uwila · 31/08/2006 15:16

What? Bring current pictures of my kids to a bunch of weirdos I've met on the interernet? Surely you jest!

MrsBigD · 31/08/2006 15:20

she'd have to get them printed first

o.k. I'm off home now to wallow in self pity. Hope you all have a great evening all!

OP posts:
Nanou1 · 31/08/2006 15:32

MrsBigD. get yourself home and rest. ginger tea is good. fresh grated ginger!

Nanou1 · 31/08/2006 15:33

uwila! i'll take it as a compliment - better than being boring?!

Nanou1 · 31/08/2006 16:31

boy am i bored... think i might try and shoot off early...

fatfox · 31/08/2006 16:56

Me too

I keep falling alseep at my desk

MrsJohnCusack · 31/08/2006 17:50

I'm REALLY sorry I have to wimp out tonight - and sorry I couldn't say earlier - couldn't get to a PC, and didn't have any contacts as all on my PC.

packing etc. has been v.stressful for many boring reasons I won't go into and today I sort of fainted - and I am not a fainter - so I need to stay home this evening as so much to do tomorrow/Saturday that I HAVE to do before the flat completes.

I was supposed to bring baked potatoes and milk. I am so sorry I can't do it . I'm not usually a piker, but I must tonight

have a great time though

MrsJohnCusack · 31/08/2006 17:51

oh I see you'll be down to about 6 now!
sorry sorry sorry

sue, good luck - I will catch up with how you're doing off and on when I get to a PC. hope it all goes well!

suejonez · 31/08/2006 18:07

Sorry, will miss you MrsJC, would have liked to have caught up before you went. As its only 6 sticking some rice on is manageable so don't worry about it.

Uwila - come early if you want rather than hanging around in work - am home now and will be doing chores, but don't mind you helping me out

Uwila · 31/08/2006 18:28

Still at work. And I just looked up where you are. It's practically spitting distance (not that I have such a disgusting habit) but it's deffo not worth a trip home. Anyway.... I'm shortly on my way...
