EDINBURGH xmas night oot/swallie

[nailpolish]

yes it sthat time again folks

any suggestions?

Yes, I drink decaff and other "funny" tea as my DH calls it at home.

It's just if I am out and drink full strength tea in the evening that I can't get to sleep.

I think it would be a step too far to bring my own teabags to the pub.

I quite like Lidl's rooibos tea, they do it in vanilla, caramel and orange flavours too.

Haven't actually had any for ages. Might just stick the kettle on.

i dont see the point of tea unless its bursting with caffeine

i drink 20 cuyps a day and im alright

at caramel tea

LOL, you've been conned at my house then naily. Decaff all the way here.

I can drink the hard stuff through the day, but any after about 7pm has me buzzing.

Cheap date eh?

do you have a cup of caffeinated in the mornign then MB

im quite partial to artificial stimulants

No, only have it if I am out somewhere or at somebody elses house.

I don't do a lot of fizzy drinks or chocolate either which I think is why I am so sensitive to it.

I used to drink bucket loads of caffeinated tea before I got pg, and was fine so it is a fairly recent thing.

yuk to fizzy juice and chocolate

you are such a good girl MB - i am weak

I'm starting to feel a bit festive . Took the kids to the winter wonderland too with my mum yesterday and had a ball. Luckily my mum forked out for the merry-go-round fares! Dd is SO excited about Christmas this year, it's very sweet. My mum always cruelly refused to buy us chocolate advent calendars as kids so I got dd and ds one each .

Don't envy you the colposcopy, Liliput. My recent adventures with mirena coil fitting was enough. Why don't men have to put up with all that sort of thing??

Really looking forward to saturday......

Colposcopy was a walk in the park on a sunny day compared to when I had my coil fitted. I do toy with the idea of putting my dh through the snip just for revenge!

where are you all going on Sat?

what is cruel about not having a choc calendar? i refuse to buy my dds choc calendars. they actually prefer the ones with the picture behind it. dd gets very excited showing me what pics they have got

i have a copper coil and i found the insertion pretty good. i must have a bucket fanny...

Meet up at Cafe Rouge ssd. Do you fancy coming along? I'm sure there will be room x

where is cafe rouge?

I'm going out in Glasgow that night, could meet up there?

They might tell you they prefer the pictures, nailpolish but the emotional scars from not having a chocloate calendar can be deep, let me tell you .

We are meeting at Cafe Rouge in Edinburgh at 8pm (I think) on 20th December.

A few of us from Glasgow will be meeting up at Queen Street to get the train across - probably the 5.30 or 6 o'clock train.

There is also going to be a pre-meal piss-up meet-up at Brambles at 7pm.

I am really looking forward to this - and I'd love to travel across from Glasgow with you all, if that's ok. When and where will you all be meeting, please?

What do you think? 5.45 at Queen Street to get the 6pm train? We'd get to Brambles at about 7pm. Or should we meet at 5.15 and get really pissed have longer to get to know each other?

Last year we just congregated at the ticket booths in the main concourse. I have a bright red long(ish) coat which is quite distinctive.

have a great night, I'm out that day and I'll be home around 9ish, so can't make it

enjoy yourselves!

That's a shame ssd. Next time??

Agal - have airbed ready for you!

NP -

I have hideous cold and potential ear infection (useless doc) but godammit I am coming!

Coolyourjets thank you but ds2 has kindly offered to give up his room for Butterfly. Dd2 is in her own bed in her own room so nowhere to put an airbed in there anymore (10 nights and counting) so sorry meant to text you

Are you coming in with me and Dh on Sat? We will need to leave around 20 past 6 i think to get NP and Lilliput.

I am also ill. I feel like i am being stabbed every time i breathe/cough. But i am also def coming!!!

Oh and NP Butterfly is meeting us at Brambles at 7ish.

Need to check with DH re leaving time. at dd2 in own bed! Is she in with DD1? I keep finding mine in the same bed, top to tail style.
