Afternnoon............save me some peanut brittle Mama I have an undying passion for it :)
Dh and boys gone off to a local airshow (dh begrudgingly) its peeing it down and blowing a gale!
Dd`s friend just arrived for the day, they are going to have a chilling out day, movies, popcorn etc...........I had hoped to have her to myself, a little bonding and was going to take her shopping for a new swimsuit as I have just got a cancellation for Center Parcs next w/end as they have the Mon off as a training day.............which is a joke as all the blardy teachers are leaving! So............what shall I do with myself all day..........suggestions please by email :o

Sorry been absent for a while felt the need to pop by and show my support for snorris - thinking of you all x

Trips - Share? Peanut Brittle? That's a tough decision! Do I share and be nice or eat it all?! I guess I can share if I win. ;)

I haven't been to an airshow in years, I loved them especially doing the helicopter ride. The days I have for myself (which are very rare these days due to bf) I full on pamper myself and boringly curl up with a book by the fire.

sok - I hope you manage to find some sleep! I'm sleeping too much and wake like a zombie!

T1 was kicking wildly today during the scan, which is great news as before they didn't have much room. T2 was sucking their thumb and doing this weird thumping thing with their leg.

My iron levels are increasing slowly, same as my hb levels. Still feeling exhausted but feel more awake, my cold I'd disappearing. Everything is going well and I so can't wait to go home in just over a week!

How is everyone, today? (Sorry if I missed anyone out, I can't see the previous page)

bubby64 · 22/06/2013 22:41

oooggs!!!!! nice to see you!!
Soks - has everything settled fown a bit with James, and is Josh managing those steps yet?
Mama - congrats on your walking little one, and also the news T2 is doing better, how nice if its another boy/girl set.
Trips- hope you got your swimsuit, a break at center parks sounds great, the teachers here have a pd day Friday, so at least the hoys will have a 3 day weekend to revover from camp.
Shabs- hope the headache is a little better.Wink
Rucksacks packed ready for Monday (just to make sure they don't wear the clothes they need!)

DH has hurt his back at work, zonked on a mix of diazepam, naproxen and co-codamol, his manager said he is not going to pay him for being off, even though he hurt it doing a job for himSad GP has said its disgraceful, and we ought to threaten him with a claim and see what happens. Our luck doesn't seem to be getting any better, I am starting to wonder if we have been cursed by an evil gypsy or somethingBlush
The good news is my best friend moves on Monday, it will be great having her only 10 minutes away againGrin Grin

Thanks bubby, I'm so glad they're doing well. Gives me hope that I can birth them naturally. My first set were ID (MoMo) boys so I'd love it if this time is boy/girl.

Hope your boys have fun on their trip! Shame about your DH though, hope those pills are helping!

Which name goes better with Aubrey Greta (dd); Izabella Riley or Elizaveta Grace?

We have the boy names settled, why is choosing girl names so hard?!

Ruby - I love that one too, everyone does except DH (he prefers the latter) so gotta try and persuade him somehow!

triplets · 23/06/2013 22:42

Very weary tonight, foolishly offered to do some weeding at the allotment this pm, grabbed a handful of weeds to find they had nettles in them.............agghhh!
Still headachey and croaky, over two weeks now..........need some sunshine to cheer me up, today we had on/off rain...........never known such a bad Spring/Summer. Lovely names Mama, so unusual :)

MultipleMama · 24/06/2013 06:12

Morning ladies.

Trips - Rather you than me, I hate planning anything nevermind for someone else! Props. Thank you, all my dc have DH's heritage (German) in their name and we agreed this time we'd go with my heritage (Russian).

Hope you feel better soon!

shabbatheGreek · 24/06/2013 12:12

Woke up in a cold sweat Trips Grin The doctor was talking about how they would like try for me to have a multiple pregnancy - woke up trying to think of what I would call boy triplets PMSL.....because we all know there is no point in me picking out girls names Hmm

shabbatheGreek · 24/06/2013 12:13

Mama - I like the Izabella name as well...my lovely Grandma was called that but everybody called her Bella x

Shabs - I didn't like it at first but it's really grew on me over the past weeks. DH loves Grace but I hate it. However he did choose Riley so I think I'm winning him over!

Triplets not twins then Shabs? I'd love to experience triplets but after
2 sets of twins I'd think I'd be too overwhelmed! Haha.

Chopstheduck · 24/06/2013 17:42

I'm gonna buck the trend and say I prefer Elizaveta Grace, so pretty, and a little more unusual. Both lovely names though.

ran four miles, walked 3, and cycled 13 today - Zzzzzzzz!

Hope your dh is feeling a bit better, bubby!

Mama - you've got a case of the repeatsGrin Grin Grin Grin
I like the Isavella Grace personally.

Trips- I hate those young nettles, the're viscous!
Shabs- What a nightmare!!! triplets (sorry tripsGrin Grin )
Chops - you are making me tired just reading about your exercise routineBlush

Boys are at camp - they just rang me, saying its very dark in the tentsSmile James wants to fo the activities which need safety harnesses, which will press on the wound site. He wants me to talk to the teachers and let him do those things, saying he feels ok, I don't know what to do really. I might say to them let him try and see how he feels.
House is very quite, and has remained tidy after I blitzed it yesterday eveningSmile

MultipleMama · 24/06/2013 22:29

Damn bloody internet refreshing my pages! Throws laptop in a hissy fit. So annoying.

DH finally agreed!! but only because I may have bribed my four year old to keeping telling VaVa how nice Izabella was Grin

Our two main names(depending on gender reveal) are; Boy - Sevastyan Izaak, and Izabella Riley. Names will be split if same sex twins with new middle names.

Bubby- You could let him try just the harness on and if he shows even the slightest wince not to let him do it then maybe he's at least tried it. Bless him.

Good news; as I'm almost 100% cold free and my levels are slowly rising they say I can go home hopefully before this Thursday. Yay.
