Grr, Momma it won't let me invite you as it says you've already been issued an invite. Anyway I've sent you a FB email with the info on.

Oh Egg I'd love to met you. Your DCs pics are adorable and your DS1 would love it here, plenty of animals, mud, swings, slides etc.

Any other multiple mums who can make it to a working farm in Exeter on the 9th Feb?

twinkle1 - I found out eventually as they kept mixing up the DTs during the scans and each week was another growth worry. I was convinced I was having one of each (had symptoms of both previous pgs) so knew it would make scanning easier if I was right as we could say girl/boy. I didn't tell anyone other than DH so they didn't put sexes on any of the scan forms and would just say left/right twin if anyone else was in the room.

estar-much love to you. At least you finally have a diagnosis. My DS1 was diagnosed with asthma by the GP a while back - when he gets a cough/cold he seems unable to shake it for months without an inhaler.

yes, the booze free night was last night, normality is resumed

I have big news (ish) in that DH has a job interview next week which means we may be selling up and moving to Sheffield in the near future

Hi all,
All this talk of babies...............wish wish mine were small again, 10, going on 20! Had such a bad night last night with them and him, nearly packed my bags, I need a life outside of here, even if its stacking shelves in Tescos at night, how sad is that? Not a choc covered nut in sight to cheer me up

triplets · 29/01/2008 19:29

Where is OJ?

Egg · 29/01/2008 19:30

I love Sheffield . Ok I've not been for about 12 years and only went about 4 times as had a lovely boyfriend who lived there but it always seemed nice. Great trams!

Pixi what is even more gutting is that my inlaws live near Honiton (a few stops from Exeter on train and don't think v far in car) and if only DTs were older, we could have gone to stay with them for weekend, left DTs there maybe (or brought them, depending on if they are still behaving well or not ) and DS1 would have been in his element. He loves being outside, loves mud, trees, leaves, older children, cake etc etc. Waaaaaaaaah.

Anyway, all children in bed. And having seen dingdong's message I now want some BOOOOOZE. God bottle feeding is good for some things .

DTs due to feed next about 8:30 and DH will do that shift, so I can either go to bed, or I can get drunk .

Estar, I was told my DS might have asthma a few months ago but he really doesn't at all, he just gets bad coughs in winter. Must be good to get a diagnosis though as I imagine easier to control and less trips to A&E which must be v scary.

iamdingdong · 29/01/2008 19:32

momma I'm quite excited about it as it would mean I can give up work for a year or so, take the DTs to school when they start in sept and be a domestic goddess but at the same time I am pretty driven career wise, so not sure how I'll feel about it long term. My parents are in sheffield and that is prompting the relocation, they are over the moon about the whole thing!

iamdingdong · 29/01/2008 19:34

egg, here's a glass or merlot for you

triplets I have some after eights, will they help? failing that we have a tin of quality street I am trying to resist opening, christmas left overs

Oh Oh Oh!!!!!

Help ma boab!!!

I'm online!!! My broadband connection seems to be arsed off constantly. Have spoken to BT who, of course, passed the buck. It is slower than the old fashioned way of typing on a clunky typewriter and posting with real stamps.

the little voice on netping just said "the internet connection is currently inaccessible". Does that mean this ain't gona post.............

Triplets... I have some jaffa cakes, penguin biscuits, hobnob flapjacks, a ripple, two twirls, three kitkats, a galaxy, some M&S swiss milk thins, some M&S organic chocolate coins and a very large stash of wine, beer and spirits (with or without mixers). Any help? (DH does not like to run out of booze or chocolate).

Did I miss your three turning TEN? Last time I was here they were still nine I am sure. TEN???? Double figures!

Strangely when I used to hate hate hate my job a few years ago, a colleague and I used to say we would rather work at the checkout in a supermarket than do what we did (we were only secretaries, but were being overworked and underpaid), but with a job you can jack it in and move on, bit harder when it is your home life that makes you feel like that. Wish we could do something to help .

frumpygrumpy · 29/01/2008 19:45

Before it goes again, I am trying to be here........ Pass cake messages of love to Mars and she can text me [big head]

thanks momma - it does depend on us getting top price for our house, which is looking increasingly unlikey...

mars - what about a mooncup

dt1 pooed his pants yest, while out at the park. I was not pleased. I've been thinking though and I wonder if he is doing it for attention. My next plan is to let him stew in it for an hour next time he does it.

He also weed in the middle of tescos when his idiotic mummy had forgotten to bring clean clothes and had a full trolley of shopping. WHy did I start potty training? Leave them in pants til they start school, really!

largeginandtonic · 30/01/2008 08:28

How gorgeous Twinkle!

theslownorris · 30/01/2008 09:34

Love the pics Twinkle. I don't think I ever managed to get a scan pic of my two together. How many weeks are you now?

I'm on BT broadband too. It's behaving at the moment apart from I can't get on FB. I have to do it directly through IE .

Pixi,can I be incredibly cheeky and gatecrash join you? Exeter isn't too bad a drive for me (as long as I don't get lost like when we went to the Donkey Factory Sanctuary!).

twinkle1 · 30/01/2008 09:41

Slownorris,
Im 14 weeks this week,it seems like time is starting to go quite quickly now,especially when i think of all the stuff i need to get done
