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?

and that perfect dress is just waiting out there for you find it .

Marmite...I knew that!! But you can stalk me if you like!

Yes we definitely need to meet, once I am back from hols. Might need to be somewhere exotic like Basingstoke, as that (I think) is kind of in between the three of us (sorry Squonk, not deliberately leaving you out but hopefully you will let us know next time you are heading south and we can sort out meeting up with ALL of us). I think Fred can easily get to Basingstoke on train from Clapham Junction, if not from East Croydon, so it shouldn't be too tricky.

Anyway, I am about to log off for evening so Marmite hope you have a fabulous holiday, you will hopefully receive a text from me, as Squonk said, around 3ish if hospital are not running late. Just think, my last scan was the day we met and that seems like FOREVER ago, and you nearly drowned!

don't worry guys, I know you're not leaving me out of meet ups

But you have to promise that if any of you ever come oop north you'll give me a shout!

And when I next visit my mother (which will be a while, don't even want to think about it yet as she only left here this morning) I'll let you know and we should all get together.

Fred - you are going to look fantastic whatever you choose to wear

I think I might suggest we take hols oop north next year (maybe in Feb...) so we can come and see you, and you can look after Nemo and Dory and DS while DH and I relax and put our feet up. Good plan?????

Ooops, my Neglected and Talented DS is in the cupboard where there are various breakable items and I am ignoring him so I can chat on MN.

morning

yes, yes, yes!!! a hol oop north so I can get my mitts on the double yolkers - definitely up for that! (will maybe hold off mentioning it to dp though )

rofl @ egg locking neglected and talented ds in the cupboard - next time move the breakables!

My two littlies are full of cold today. Got nothing planned except a day full of wiping noses and cuddling poorly people (wish me luck!)

And I didn't sleep much - partly because of the littlies waking up, but also because dp came and woke me up at 11.30 in a panic because I had to go and rescue him from a spider! Apparently one that was {-----} this big jumped out at him when he was trying to work!

////\\

Yay,,the gifted and neglected vibe is definitely catching on...
Egg - good luck today! Can't wait to hear about the twins!

Squonl - sorry you're stuck in with two snotty kids poorly littlies today. Hope you have plenty of tissues!

I am going to playgroup this afternoon and my ocado delivery will be here in a mo, so best go straighten the fridge!

egg - what time will you have to leave?

anyone heard from egg yet? I know twenty past three is a tad early to worry, she could be in there for hours but I was expecting to hear before now....

no i haven't.. Hope the appt is just running late ....

just had a text.

All is well... she can tell you the rest

Yay..one of each variety!!!

So, are we thinking of names yet?

I've got.... Jack and Jill
George and Mildred
Terry and June

d'ya think she'll like them?

Kev & Bev
Maude & Claude

Geri and Jerry

Mickey and Minnie

Beavis & Butthead?

little and large?

LOL you two. Only just home. Very very chuffed. I think I was in denial about wanting a girl.

Angel and Buffy?

Morecambe & Wise?

Girls are lovely ( boys too) but a lil girl is lovely!

is your dh over the moon?

Ah back again. Sorry DH has been monopolising PC and I was at hospital for aaaaaaaaaaages. Yes DH is v pleased, as are my parents / sis / friends. It seems it was the result everyone was hoping for!

So... firstly, BlackBeardSquonk? Is this something to do with the pirate thing I saw? I might be LongJohnEgg, or EggJohnSilver, or CaptainEggwash (hehehe).

And if we go for Morecambe and Wise, which one is which? I reckon Wayne and Waynetta .

Forgot to say, will not be bothering to attempt to scan pics of Nemo and Dory (as they will remain known for now). They are pretty crap apart from the one where they look like a two-headed monster... Both heads right next to each other siamese twin style in this pic .

Oh and Squonk, to answer your text question about Nemo actually being the girl and Dory being the boy (despite other way round in Finding Nemo), it is because I always referred to Twin 1 (who is lower and to the left) as Nemo, and Twin 2 (higher and to the right) as Dory, but in fact it is girl on left and boy on right. Does that make sense?

so, they always stay in the same place? wow! I didn't know that.... I would have assumed they would move around a lot

fab, fab news. Am v. pleased for you.
