I jsut wanted to psot to say good luck hm, hope you can hold out, but it really sounds like things are moving. Jsut think you could be cuddled upw ith your baby by tomorrow morning!

Glad to hear dt2 is better, fg.

no slowness on broadband here, sorry fg... coil might be worth a go, will investigate

overrunderthemistletoe that's a lovely early xmas pressie, we teachers get nothing like that (unless we switch to primary and get naff ornaments/nasty smeelies )

anyone got any tips for a place in the lakes feb half term? I know where dh and I would go but we're taking the DTs and alot of places don't take toddlers - can't think why

thats bloody journalists for you, so many freebies it makes me cross, but I think i will overlook this one

Kelly has very kindly put this up for me, hope you like it

have i fixed it?

lapinrose, what would a teacher actually like to receive then? I don't actually normally do presents but dd's teacher has been wonderful and she is the same teacher for the second year running so I thought I would like to get her something. I thought about those oxfam textbooks for the third world thing, but really would like to get soemthing for her.

yep fg, I'm expecting wide eyes at the newly pruned legs.

I did it in the end, lol

fg, you do realise that mars is going to get all overexcited when she see's your post don;t you...

Now you don't want to dissapoint her do you?

what on earth is up with my typing, I can spell really, honest! I've not even had so mcuh of a sniff at alcohol neither.

Shall I make a start on one of those freebies, dh has just asked me what I want

Oh defo, a large gin would go down nicely.

gone for the vodlka option, yum yum

Kelly, I don't know about pressies for teachers really, I've only had them from a Y7 tutor group I had when I first started, when I got loads of chocs, cheap sweet wine, an ornament saying 'my favourite teacher' (or something like that) and some really dodgy bubble bath... I then moved schools a few times and got Y10/11 tutor groups every time - they just don't seem to go in for pressies! I think alcohol or posh smellies are pretty safe bets, or a voucher for a dept store so she can put it towards something... is that really boring? Depends how old...a bouquet of flowers delivered to the school goes down well too as everyone knows about it then

dept store coucher sounds very good and I mgiht save the flowers idea for the summer when dd leaves the school.
She's quite hard to place an age on. I think she may be around 30. I think I'll get a voucher for debenhams, I lvoe shopping in there.

cheers overun!

I think I'm gonna resist, because once I start drinking I end up sitting on mn until the early hours and end up havng a few! I do not want a hangover tomorrow.

oooh this talk of drink is sending me heading off downstairs to ogle some bottles...

How exactly do you manage to post so much in between me looking this morning and looking now??? I can't keep up!

You'll be pleased to hear that I had a normal new baby night of sleep last night with DT1 being awake a lot. He was not popular. Nor was DH when he woke up looked at us pacing for about 20 seconds, then turned over and went back to sleep. (Actually I don't think he woke up.) And he told my Mum that we'd BOTH had a hard night!!!

But good news is that I'm down another belt hole! Back to where I was in January when I was running on the moors for an hour a week - and I haven't had to do any exercise this time. I love having twins! It's so much cooler than I thought! Though I am mentally scarred by Mars' toilet duck experience and I won't actually breathe out properly until the DTs get to about 5. And of course you'll all have posted some other horror story which will stop me breathing again for another decade or so. For some reason I don't find the poo stories quite so horrifying...

Pixi and Mars - I think I mentioned it about 50 posts ago - next Weds OK? Where am I going?!

Good for you Kelly, I am sipping ladylike sips. Doris, glad that your belt size is reducing. i had this too, very lucky really, but the weight just dropped off me, when I was feeding the greedy buggers.
I used to make dh do the nappy changes at night, so once I had fed them I could go back to sleep while he shivered in his pjs and got weed on

my weight dropped off too. But once I stopped feeding it went back on Then I started smoking and it went back off but now I;ve stopped smoking again too...

LOL Doris my DH is just the same now - he always got up in the night with me when the DTs were tiny, to 'keep me company' then fell asleep on the sofa watching VH2 or something. Now he rarely hears them & if he does he lets me go because 'they'll only want you anyway' but still moans about having a disturbed night, MEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Meant to say Debenhams would suit me Kelly, she's very lucky!

A reason to keep feeding them I think Kelly . Not really doing it for my waist line, honest. Do wonder when I should think about stopping, they are two now, and I always said I would stop when they turned two.
