SJ's babyshower

ladies, thanks very much everyone for the hugs and best wishes and offers to chat. AND babysitting!!!

wow, i'm a bit overwhelmed. i do post a bit on other threads on mn about depressed/absent partners etc and it is helpful.

i really hope he can come home soon as all i really want is our family together. but that doesn't look likely for a while and there's a big part of me that can't keep doing this idefinately. i feel i have to make a decision about my future...........

anyway, on a lighter note: dentists! anyone know a good one around st margarets/isleworth? i just signed up to a good dental plan thru work and want to get my crowns looked at. am also the BIGGEST SCAREDY CAT of all when it comes to going!

actually, the very best dentist I ever had was in Sydney so i now think all aussie dentists are FAB!

caught up with SJ's diary earlier and nearly blubbed in the office

Pc are you on yahoo messenger? Hows the sling going, been meaning to ask for ages!

yahoo, msn, skype!

you name it, i'm on it LOL!

i'll cat you ;-)

anyone around atm?

whats up? sge said looking in on mn to avoid essay crisis

Not much happening, thought I'd have a quick chat before heading off to bed.

How's the studying going?

its about identity and it is giving me an identity crisis
wednesday night i am going out with my sisters to the Royal Albert Hall, that should be nice.

how goes the attachmnt? does ds cry if you leave the room and follows you to the toilet? mine did she used to drive me a tad potty at times

check out sporty mama and bubba

very impressive. I might just get a bike and ride off into the horizon, without kids!

Quokka I so hope that sleep potion your friend is concocting for me will work. Got VERY close to hurting ds last night in the 'cuddle very tightly in despair' kinda way and giving good impersonation of raving mad loonie mum shouting toddler in middle of the night to go the f back to sleep... oh and then he socked me one on the side where I hd the tooth extracted... he was lucky reflex didn't land him on the floor or the other side of the room! ARGH

Hi sfx, sorry I abandoned you last night - I was reading and fell asleep

He seems to be back to normal now - I think it was just when we were at the ILs and we left the room. On the Sun morning he was better but if I left he would come and find me. but at home he's absolutely fine. We did wonder if ILs came here to look after him if he would be ok?

What are you going to see at the RAH?

Hi paddle, just seen your picture, looks like both of you are having fun! Where did you get your bike seat for dd from? We'd like to get one for ds.

Nice pic. I'm a big wuss when it comes to biking, bad childhood memories etc etc so I'm very impressed.

morning pud, forgot to say thanks for hte Lost offer. will take you up on it if i can't find it being repeated somewhere!

erm, bike seat is a Hamax Sleepy - they recline - they're quite expensive new but I got it off ebay for about 28 quid which was less than half price.

dd loved it altho she wasn't keen on the wind and sun in her eyes, little princess LOL.

PC - you healthy young thing you. Looks like great fun.

Mine still follow me round the house, even the six year old. DS was in hysterics the other day, pointing and laughing "ha, ha, Mummy - I can see your willy!"

I was trying to have a shower at the time.

MrsB - how are you feeling this morning (or shouldn't I ask?)

morning

paddle - great pic you both look fantastic!

pudding - no problem, i soldered on through study with occasional click on active convos like i usually do.
we are going to see a portuguese singer. i love the RAH but its been ages since i went used to go proms on another life.

mrsB - hope the tooth gets better, i think my major problem with dentists is lack of trust, i am not afraid at all and really need one actually but would rather go through personal recommendation, had an awful experience once.
rub that little one, it is so tiring when they persist on waking up over and over again

hope everyone else OK

sfx/puds - shall we do the bookswap on 2 December then, at mine, 11am?

If so, I'll sort out a list of what I can offer

foxie - that sounds great. I'll sort out a list also.

ha ha ha @ healthy young thing! i'm not far behind you Foxie and i cleverly angled myself to hide post baby jelly belly!

big belly laugh @ Foxie's ds tho LOL!

can i join in the book swap too? purty please?

mrsb, really hope you're not feeling too jaded today. at least the tooth is gone and hopefully the magic sleep oil is on it's way soon.

dd went from 8pm till 5:30am this morning - i had to go check on her to make sure she was ok! which of course woke her doh!

thats great foxie, what would people be interested in?

Foxie,

I'm available on the 2 Dec too. You must have missed my response. That's okay. It took me ages to find it again myself. I thought I might have dreamed about responding. Not that I dream about MN, that would be too sad.

so foxie are you not teaching the proper names of girly bits then?LOL

shall we bring cakes and cookies foxie?

PC - yes please do join us , that will be fab:

OK Gals I have two requests:

No 1 - Could you sort some books you really enjoyed reading and make a list to post? Also do a "wish list" of the type of think you'd like to borrow. We're only lending so we'll get them back again

(We can do some Sci-Fi too?)

No 2 - we need to make a decision about the Christmas Knees Up. Are we going ahead on 1 December or not? Have more or less decided to scrap Brula (too dear) but need another venue pronto (cheap).

...Please look on the appropriate thread before MrsD catches me ...

Will take my bossy hat off now

sfx - that's kind, errr yes please!

Ok, I'll bring a cake!

Fabbooo
