what has happened to the Zappata roll call thread in chat?

[marmitemad]

I've lost it from my watched threads and can't find it by searching either, am I just being stupid?

Bye Egg - if you come back to read this, have agreat time, we'll miss you! Look after Nemo and Dory.

just a quickie...

as of Tuesday when dp picks it up, we will be the proud owners of a

Vauxhall Vectra

Oh I'm pleased you got a car sorted Squonk.

was it bargain? it doesn't have more seats though does it?

twas within what we decided we were going to spend. It seems to be in good nick and it's from a dealer with a warranty, so that's good.

No more seats, but dp persuaded me against buying a huge car on the off-chance that we may have another squonkette, or for the odd occasion when my mother comes to visit - and what he says does make sense.

He also said that if we do get a bfp any time soon, then the Vectra will still be in good enough nick to trade it in for an MPV
anyway, I notice that egg didn't manage to pop in to say Ola before flying out... hope she has a fab time. What you up to this weekend?

All good points Squonk...glad you got it sorted and it is bigger than a fiesta!!

poor dd3 has sticky pink eyes now aswell as a perpetually runy nose...

I hope egg has a brill time.

how's dd3 today, fred? any better?

Hi Squonk - a little better, but boy this sick period has given her a license to strop like you wouldn't believe!!!!

HHoooooeeee she can tantrum over you turning the page of a book too slow ( or too fast)...I need a holiday!!

tell me about it! Dd2 can strop because you looked at her "like that" and dd1 can strop just because it's Tuesday

Thank god for little boys

Can I ask what a Zappate is please?

hi lilred: tis a made up name for those of us who bought the £75 quinny zapp from boots a few months ago.

We liked each other and carried on chatting.

Feel free to join in, tis not a cleak

Ah - I've been wondering for MONTHS!!! I even Googled it in an attempt not to appear thick!

Did you get a twirly moustache when you googled?

I love our name....

We MUST keep it going for others to ponder...

OOOhh you get your car today Squonk!! What colour is it?

hee hee, am excited about new car It is blue.

dp picking it up after work and driving it home. So will probably all go for a drive this evening in it.

And scrap man coming to take away the Fiesta today as well.

How's dd3 today?

Hi Squonk
DD3 still has a cough and gunky eyes but her mood seems greatly improved today...thanks for asking.

Hows you? Any more trips to the chemist? Still feeling tired?

feel tired, sick, bleurgh! no more trips to chemist though.

Having troubles with dd1 - she was caught out of school by a teacher with a group of other girls, and alcohol was being consumed (although they think not by dd1)

Bloke coming to pick up fiesta in half an hour, and then we will be completely car-less for about four hours before dp picks up the new one (god, I hope there's no problem with that!)

Glad dd3 appears to be getting a bit better - good that she's feeling well in herself.

To get pg, I have to do some boffing, right? And in order to do some boffing, I have to get the littlies out of my bed... it may take some time

Hi everyone,
we all have colds here now, not as bad as yours but still feel rubbish. dd is very snotty and grumpy .

Had a crap day at Ascot on Friday, really wet and windy and I was driving and didn't win anything. Best bit was the free old fashioned carousel ride, .

Squonk - like your new name, is it for Halloween?

hi marmite - yep, tis my spooky Halloween name, I shall change back on NOvember 1st.

Watched a bit of Ascot on the telly, hoping to spot you (was looking for a couple with small child waving a tub of marmite in the air) surprisingly, I didn't spot you

Car has gone.

Feel quite nostalgic for the old thing... but I think that will go when dp brings the new one home.

Still feel quite ill here and the littlies are being monsters (unusual, really)

OOOh Squonk..have you got it? Have you got it?

got it.

Tis fab.

Tis smooth, sleek, clean and quiet! (Had to reassure myself that the engine actually was running!)

Have been out with the littlies and done a huge shop, which all fitted in the boot no problem (with the zapp as well) so it will be fine for what we need right now.

When I get the bfp of course.....

How's you and your lot?

morning.

What's everyone up to this weekend?

Squonk - pleased the new car is a success.

dd now has D & V bug (we were woken at 2:30am by choking projectile vomiting everywhere so have appointment at drs for this afternoon and no swimming/music group today .)

no plans for the weekend either .

DD3 has a docs appt this morning at 11.30.
I know she's only had a coldbut her tonsils are practically crossing over at the back ofher throat and they look white and gunky...I hope she is going to suffer ike my elder two - they had to have them removed when they were three..

Tomorrow I am going to try wedding dresses on!!! I'mnot really excited though,more terrified.I have the idea in my head that they will treat me like Julia Roberts in pretty Woman (not that I look anything like her I hasten to add!!) - I just hate the idea of being fussed around and think they will be snooty. (Fingers crossed they're not or I will be leaving pronto!!)

Now I'm madly searching foramatching underwear set to wear!!

oh your poor babies!

fred - they will treat you like a queen, and if they don't then you should walk right out of there. The whole point of wedding dress shopping is to be treated like the most beautiful woman in the world, as that's what you will be as you walk down the aisle

Who's going with you?
