D`y ever ever wonder what you would do if you won the lottery?

[triplets]

I know what I would do.

1. Buy a 5 bedroom house so we all get our own room, big garden so James could have a dog.

1. Get private medical insurance so we never again have to await scans and results.

1. Buy Shabs a villa in Faliraki.

1. Throw a big party for all my lovely lovely mad mums on here.

1. Treat myself to highlights.

1. Buy bags and bags of M&S choccy nuts!

No package Trips - thats very weird isin't it? Maybe they are waiting at Border Control at Watford Gap....going to check them before they head up t'North?? xx

Trips, I did receive mine, I have them and I love! Happy Birthday to Matthew xxx. Definitely and cake and I will have a G&T to celebrate his 30th (I'll have it about 7pm I think, in case you want to join me). It is a special day! So lovely to hear you talk of his birth, I have only heard the stories of his passing, lovely x.

Ruby, great birthday, love the crocs!

Oh good FG, must have missed your posting, enjoy........well one of them! Wasnt going to walk up and meet the kids coming home on their own from their experience day at "big" school, but at 3.50pm shot out the door, only to see the three of them walking abreat through the tunnel of trees(Matthews expression], they looked so grown up, they saw me and all ran and hugged me, it was lovely. Cake has been demolished, now trying to think what to do for supper, so far potatoes baking and nothing else!

Oh Trips I can only imagine how difficult it has been raising triplets but I love your description of them walking home together....wish I had tried for another baby right after I had Tom....he seems very 'alone' at times. They will always need you my darling xx

Evening!

Happy Birthday for yesterday Ruby!

Happy Birthday Matthew!

Happy Birthday Shab's Beautiful One! I think Shabs may be bringing you out a special treat in person... all wrapped in a big bow and not a lot else!

Went to the Clarke's outlet village in Street yesterday and bumped into my boyfriend from university who I went out with for 3 years and haven't seen since. He was pushing his 8 month old on a swing and introduced me to his wife - she did not look amused! My friend who I was with said 'aren't you glad you made an effort today!' PMSL. Obviously my DD was far more beautiful, clever, charming

HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY MATTHEW - trips a cake sounds perfect - my parents are up your neck of the woods tomorrow

Happy Belated Birthday Ruby - hope you had a fab day

thats about all I can manage as ds3 is teething and I am shattered!

Tell them they will find me in the New Inn between 10-11am, I will be the one drinkingguiness coffee

Thank you all for your birthday wishes for my lovley boy, I hope he and Shabs lads are out on the town somewhere!

Another big day passes..........

My dear, dear friend I KNOW they are causing havoc in heaven - I really know!! I was thinking what I would 'give' to spend one hour with Gareth and Matt.....my first thought was - my own life - then I thought - you selfish sod....what about Dan, Em and Lew? How could I just shuffle off this mortal coil and leave them? Will never, ever understand it...dont know the reason why...I just know I need to be here. Thinking of you my friend.

Teasleep - I think the 'beautiful one' would chuck up at the sight of me with not much on!!!! Awww he is 26 today - I have knickers older than him xx

...awww I missed out our Tom...sorry my little lad

ummmmmm Derkster?

difficult times Trips....as usual!!!

You and me both then Shabs! Kale Nits mon petite cucumber Love you lots xxxx

Trips, there you go my darling! Their first big day in the bigger world and when they see their mum............they each run for her, desperate for her to listen and share their experience. What a great bunch! Glad you went to meet them x. Even better they demolished the cake Do they know its Matthew's birthday and do they mention it? Or do you keep it for you?

Happy Birthday Matthew.

Today I have been packing up my house and getting ready to move. The lovely TK came to do some charity runs and seal some boxes for me. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next few days will be filled moving house so you may not hear from me for a while.

Love to you all!

My darling little brother is 30 in December.

He lives in Oz and is not having a great time atm. He is struggling with his business (he had great success in one part of Oz and moved to grow it in another part, taking part of his team), its struggling and he feels hideously responsible financially and emotionally for everyone. He left partly, I think, to make distance between him and a girl. I don't know who needed the distance.

He has also struggled with depression from time to time. I see in him what I see in me.

My big brother called me today to tell me not to breathe a word but that little brother has booked an emergency trip home, he lands on Saturday. I'm all arse over tit now......I'm away from 6am on Saturday morning til 5pm Monday teatime, away again on Tuesday 1pm-1am, and then have 3 short days to pack in a whole lot of laundry, packing and wind up our build on the new house before we fly off on hols a week on Saturday. I'll hardly see him and I think he needs us right now. My mum and dad are babysitting for me this weekend and I know it will make my mum feel like shit that she hasn't, and can't, prepare for him. Its all a bit of a mess and I don't have time to to anything. I have just finished cooking tomorrow night's dinner and I have a jam packed day tomorrow, starting with meeting the plumber around 7.30am.

Fuck. Did I just rant? Right now, I must do a Tesco shop online for tomorrow delivery I hope!!! and then.....pretend to sleep maybe.

She does it again. She breezes in and out without even a tassel flick.

maybe one of the most alluring songs ever written Its for you, you know who you are, I miss you forever x.

better than Leonard's version IMHO Here is a man who imprisons his secrets in his eyes. Take a look, you can't see in his eyes. They are stolen over. Major emotion in the song and in the voice, but nothing at all comes out of his eyes. I'm not maudlin, just an observation.

I should sleep more

we can't go to bed without Patsy

This is our family sing-song, song. When I was wee, everyone would get drunk and take a turn at singing. Seemed to me everyone sang this, all slightly differently, but the same song nonetheless The words are carved on my heart.

"Rebel, rebel your face is a mess"

Hello wall. Goodnight doors.

Morning girls xx

somebody pull me back from the North verses South thread....please.....Oh no, just leave it

Hiya.
Happy days for Trip's Matthew and for Ruby. I had a pint last night so I will posthumously dedicate it to you guys. (I was at cubs and have been so sleep deprived I have missed out loads on this thread.)(I didnt have the pint AT cubs, afterwards at the leader's debrief). DT2 had been to see a paed and has been on movicol for a week. I can't belive the change in him. He must've felt so crap for so long. He now runs everywhere at 100mphh, laughs, eats lots of different stuff and smiles so much more. However he sleeps so much less.
