thought I'd start a new thread for those of us meeting up at Dynamic Earth at 12pm on Thursday 21st February - as the last heading was rather "vague" to say the very least

So far we have got

Cali + 2 children
FAQ + 3 (eeek!) children

Probables/possibles

Motherhurdicure + 3 children
Mawbroon + 1 child
Liath + 2 children
2happy + 2? children

As are yours, FAQ, definite hero worship from ds1!!
Hope ds3 is ok, sickness on holiday not allowed!
I was surprised at how relaxed they seemed about the tribe running riot

Just been chatting with the boys over dinner about today and DS1 said "there were some other lovely baby boys. I enjoyed playing with them"

They were rather relaxed weren't they - although I did notice the women at the till in the cafe watching them quite closely when I went to warm DS3's milk up.

DS3 now gone to sleep (after much complaint)

Ach, I didn't think they were that bad tbh. It might have been different if it were really busy and there were people with trays of food having to dodge the toddlers!

DS passed out without a murmer. Fingers crossed for another full night's sleep

Just had another childminding enquiry. Hooray, but don't know if it will turn into work....

I'm not sure I can really pull DS1 and 2 off as being toddlers .

I suppose they weren't really that bad - but usually my DS's don't go running around in Cafe's - it's one of our "rules" - that even if we're there for a while they have to sit down.......but I figure seen as though they're on holiday what the heck LOL.

mawbroon · 21/02/2008 19:53

I think though, that anybody watching us would have seen that as soon as they started doing something out of order (eg the stones) then there was an adult over there sorting them out. I'm sure they have seen all sorts there!!

Perhaps the women at the till were remarking on how good they all were

"an" adult being you - as the rest of us just left you to sort our children out LOL.

I'm wearing jeans - going to breath in as I get dressed, and then breath out again when I get back........as my only "nice" jeans are my pre-DS3 ones which I haven't yet managed to properly fit back into.......and of course AF is here so I'm a little more bloated than usuall LOL.

ah I thought that was you K999 - but didn't want to launch into a totally irrelevant post and make a total fool of myself.

Looking forward to it..........I intend to travel home on Saturday complete with hangover (don't have vast amounts of cash to spend - but I can "warm up" with a drink here before I leave LOL.

OP posts:
K999 · 21/02/2008 21:32

Tis me! Have shortened my name!

Cant believe your week here is almost up!!

Try not to think about the bus trip home.....it may be better than you think.....of course you could perhaps keep drinking and get on the coach smashed!!

aGalChangedHerName · 21/02/2008 21:33

Who all is coming tomorrow night btw? Just me being nosy lol

FAQ · 21/02/2008 21:37

I can't believe my week is almost up either. It's really flown by. DB and I have had a few "run-ins" - but isn't that what siblings (even grown-up ones) are supposed to do when living in close confinement ) with tears and tantrums emotions from both of us (great combination we've been - he's still battling his depression, I'm going through a cr*p time too.........you can imagine the scenes LOL).

However, apart from those moments it's been so nice

AGal - I don't know - I suppose a list might be useful. When we turned up for our one at Dynamic earth this morning none of us were really sure who else was coming .

So far we have

Mawbroon (Well she'd better not pull out now - she's giving me a lift LOL).
Me
AGal
K999
Nailpolish (if she's feeling better).

ermm.......don't know who else

OP posts:
mawbroon · 21/02/2008 21:37

I'm wearing jeans too. I don't have anything semi dressy really, either jeans or glitzy! I've already done glitzy within the last 2 months, so that's it for at least another 5 years.

I am picking up FAQ and we will be arriving probably around 8pm ish. I am too soft to contemplate going out without breastfeeding ds.
