Triplets, I'm so sorry the news wasn't better for you and DH yesterday. I'd definitely agree with the others that honesty with the children is the best option. And there is always someone here for you as well. Sending you lots of love and hugs.
A big happy birthday to the mini-ooogs and a well done to ooogs and DH for surviving the first year . We celebrated our DTs 1st birthday with a small tea party for them with cake, then several of our friends round for champagne and curry in the evening after they were in bed .
I took my DTs to the cinema today for the first time (we saw Horton hears a Who). I wasn't sure how they'd react and they weren't sure about the dark to start with - we got there just after it started so we didn't have to suffer interminable adverts. But they sat through the whole 1.5 hours - and without needing a wee as well . DT2 sat on my lap, but DT1 looked so sweet in her big seat next to me, with her popcorn. But at the cost of it all. We won't be doing it often and next time I'm taking my own popcorn .
Oh and I am definitely coming to the meet-up - emailed snorris last night. DH still hasn't decided whether or not he needs the car, but if he doesn't, I'll definitely drive and will have room for 3/4 passengers. If not, I'll get the train with Mars and goldenoldie (if they don't mind me tagging along with them!).
Pixi, hope you're doing ok with all you have to cope with - looks like that baby is hanging on till you're ready!
Saturday is curry night in this house - and it's just arrived...yum yum .
