That is so comforting. Mine is the rain,even in summer if we go to 'visit' my dad there will always be a shower of rain. The day he died was the first day it rained for weeks and when I was put under G.A. to have my babies the last thing I said was dad please be with me and when I woke up they had put me by the window which was open and it was pouring with rain

We take the kids up there quite a bit(when we have a car) and after coming home one day Brandon said
"Mummy I love grandad very much,but he's a bit rude isn't he?"

me puzzled "why?"

"Everytime we go to see him he's always out!!!"

Bless!!!

Awwwww trips - Brandon rocks

When my nan died, tomster was about 3. We went to the 'wake' after and he was doing slides on the dance floor and wanted to know when the disco started he called it 'Nanas bye bye party.'

I am definitly having a karaoke at my wake.

shabster · 07/03/2008 11:37

always wanted to ask you trips - did you conceive the littletrips au natural or did you have fertility treatment? Sorry if that is too personal a question - in the words of PK - 'just tell us love cause Im a nosey bitch female dog

TripleyTigger · 07/03/2008 11:41

LOL at Karaoke Shabs!!!

My DH's dad does Karaoke for the local pubs(oh the shame) I'm sure I could get you a cheap deal

Sooo funny hearing you call Tom the Tomster,we call Molly the Moster

Kids are great at making you smile aren't they?

God Shabs, i totally bow at your feet for how you have coped. It's a thought that terrifies me and for you to go through it not once but twice is horrendous. The strength that you and Triplets have found is truly amazing. I know that you had to cope,but the way you have managed it truly leaves me speechless with an overwhelming respect for you.x.

We have robins. My mum always felt it was her dad. He lingers in our garden for ages and gets very close to the house. He plopped down right beside my feet one day I was walking to school with all my children. After his brother died (my mum's uncle and biological father) we got 2 robins for a whole summer. And they still had red breasts. Is it a myth that they only get red breasts in winter?

OH
MY
GOD

I was lugging mattresses and nipping up and down the loft and generally looking a state, still with the spot the size of everest on my chin. Tesco delivery arrived and I was thinking "damn, forgot about that, now an hour to put away shopping". When I got to the door......

OH
MY
GOD

The delivery boy was just a boy, maybe 20 at a big push. He had black, shiny hair, a glow from his skin that I wanted to lick. Hands that were smooth and strong with two silver rings and a red bracelet thing. Olive skin. Eyes like brown puddles. His voice. Oh his voice. You should have seen the way he handled my mangoes!!!! He thanked me for unloading my own shopping, I nearly paid him for visiting and almost jumped on him asked him to come in for coffee. He was desirable. I unpacked my shopping very quietly and couldn't look him in the eye

That was a turn up for the books. I get a weekly delivery, always adorable delivery guys, get a good chat with them and a laugh but none that I would lure inside ask to look at my cupboards. I'm a quivering wreck.

I have turned into a housewife. A proper old fashioned housewife. I never thought it would happen.

TripleyTigger · 07/03/2008 11:51

Right then ya nosey female dog...

I had a bad eating disorder when i was younger and it really messed up my baby making skills(no periods..blah blah..)leading to PCO.
On top of that DH has problems too!!

So they took his sperm and chucked it on a hot wash to give it a good clean and stored it in the freezer. Which will pass its cell by date in four years

So I had to have injections every day to boost my ovulation,but it wasn't working very well, so some bright spark decided to experiment with me and give me the maxium dose!!
And Traa laa....one squirt of a tukey baster later I was having Triplets!!!!!
I can truthfully say that there were four people in the room when I concieved but yet I am not a slut!!!

However........once they got me PG they then tried to make me reduce them..Grrrrr....told me Poppy would be brain damaged and be in a wheel chair

Just got her report yesterday..seems she is top of the class...again!!!!

Sorry!!! I think I have ishoos!!! PMSL!!!

frumpygrumpy · 07/03/2008 11:53

Tigs, thats a story. So many interesting stories on here. I swear (PMSL, I typed sweat oh yeah, on heat today!!!) I'm going to put this all in a book somtime.

shabster · 07/03/2008 11:54

frumpy frumpy frumpy - you are ace 'skin I wanted to lick' 'brown puddles' Ha Ha

Mangoes! Bobos! You have made me glad that I have got a tenna lady on

Do you think Tesco's will send olive skin with my shopping down to Bolton? xx

Is there an uglier version? Surely not!!! .

You should see my parcel force guy, looks just like Lurch from the Adams family. I want to click my fingers to the tune everytime I see him

shabster · 07/03/2008 11:59

Tiggs - maximum dose turkey baster doctors

There's always one nosey bitch person isin't there?

Wow tiggs - Im going having another read of that

TripleyTigger · 07/03/2008 12:00

F.G. Don't every go away for a long time again!!! You are so funny!!!

shabster · 07/03/2008 12:04

I agree tigs - the only RL person who makes me snort my cider down my nose with laughter. Only the mighty Peter Kay actually makes me laugh out loud.

Tiggs - thanks for your words on the earlier post - only two choices when you are bereaved of a loved one - sink or swim - and Im doing the front crawl frantically

TripleyTigger · 07/03/2008 12:07

Rubes that is brilliant - really, really funny

frumpygrumpy · 07/03/2008 12:18

rooooby, that is just fantastic I must email that to the rest of the world!!!! Thank you!

Tigs, decorating the kids rooms. Painters gone but, as we were all sleeping in my room , I now have to make it look reasonable again.

I'm still heart-a-thumping. He asked me if I had any bags he could take for me. The voices in my head were shouting "yeah MEMEMEMEME, TAKE MEEE, I'm a bag, I'm a bag" and resisted the urge to drag out my suitcase (thats a bag eh?)

He handed me 6 eggs. None fertilised either.

shabster · 07/03/2008 12:25

frumps - You are making my DH - derkster - giddy

He is offering to fertilise your eggs if you want him to

You have to stay down wind of him if you dont want to get preggers!

Cant get that william tell tune out of my head now.

Shabs, thats great news. I feel so comforted by Derkster's chat I'll just stay here in my world Scotland for now though. I'm not sure I should really be spreading my DNA about. There seems to be a rogue element encased within.

And I did not grab and fling the box of tampons in aforementioned delivery across the room like a poisonous snake.

Someone please, lock the damn door, and stop me peeking in everytime I walk past the door.......(at the pc I mean, not the tied up Tesco boy )

Neenzandhertwinbeans · 07/03/2008 12:58

Well I had my scan yesterday and the other twin is a girl!!!! I always thought it was a girl (well, had a 50% chance of being right anyway!). We are calling her Esther at the mo. Our little boy will be Theo.

The consultant said they are growing really well, well within the normal range even for singletons. We had a really positive meeting with him - he said he was non-interventionalist (great) - except with twins (downer).

He said he would recommend an epidural because if the second twin is breech they won't be able to deliver her without the epidural - they'd have to do a section. I'd rather not have an ep unless I really feel the need, but he said I didn't need to actually have the drug, I just needed to be wired up for it 'just in case'. He said the wires would be long enough for me to move around and he said that they wouldn't even need to do continuous heart monitoring of the first twin. So that was great. So hopefully I will be able to deliver Theo normally and then Esther will flip round so she has her head down and she'll come out normally too. Fingers crossed!

Does the epidural thing ring true with all you ladies who had vaginal deliveries?

shabster · 07/03/2008 12:58

You made the right decision with re: to Derkster - frumpy you are wise grasshopper

shabster · 07/03/2008 13:03

twinbeans how lovley - one of each - was thinking about you yesterday Theo and Esther - beautiful names.

The epidural thing - I had one with my twins, but it was 26 years ago, I had to have one because I had pre eclampsia and the epidural brought down my blood pressure.

I bet most of the multiple mums will have much more recent experience of epidurals.

awww - a blue and a pink - lucky mummy
