Hmm. Dh used to be a journalist. Not big league but still. He's glad to be out of it.

Jennster · 29/01/2008 21:03

Ooops bit insensitive sorry McCookie

JoanWilder · 29/01/2008 21:08

evening ladies
happy 35th Haggis! sorry Im late...never ever get chance to pooter-ate these days as always eating toast and marmalade or asleep. Bump is chuffing massive, cant believe my profile. Did not miss it from last pregnancy, still in some kind of shock that I am pregnant..nearly 4 mths now yikes.
Consultant asked if I was continent after my 3rd deg tear, I said yes, so she said to def. go for a natural birth this time, unless baby is mahoosive; and I am up for the challenge! (and chicken of having a c-section, if I am honest,)
dd FINALLY took her first steps today, she can stand alone really well, it's just the steps that are hard bless her, she needs to build her confidence big time.

JoanWilder · 29/01/2008 21:09

also she has started having temper tantrums, one tonight because I wouldnt let her have my mobile, she bloody logs it on to the internet browser for about £6 a minute..

JoanWilder · 29/01/2008 21:10

hmmmm may change my name Joan a bit , dare I say it,,, dull?

VoodooCoconut · 29/01/2008 21:13

better hmmmm?

Jennster · 29/01/2008 21:26

Oh God I'm rubbish. Happy Birthday McCookie

YouEatedMyCookie · 30/01/2008 11:59

Don't woory about the MD thing Jenn
at McCookie!!
Good to have Voods back as well.

Had a really strong response from my emails from the local MP and a local councillor. Looks as if the Council will have to rethink the increase in the face of really strong local objection

It's in our favour that we are the best local P&T group. We not just a coffee morning; but rather have timetable for play, snacks and activities.
Will keep you posted (whether you want to or not )

Do you have an old mobile lying around that Doodle could play with Voods, works wonders for Macpup

YouEatedMyCookie · 30/01/2008 19:59

Am quite that Jeremy Beadle dead
He was only 59

Jennster · 30/01/2008 20:22

Same age as my mum. I wonder if there is more to it, like the pneumonia getting him because he was weak with cancer.

YouEatedMyCookie · 31/01/2008 10:25

Sounds like it, Jenn. He had been treated for Leukaemia and a cancerous kidney previously.Probably had a weakened system.

Weather is pants up here. Gale force winds and snow forecast for the next couple of days. Don't wanna go out at all

Jennster · 31/01/2008 11:10

Just collected my recycling boxes from the next street. Got woken this morning with hail, and it was sleeting just now. ~Just off out to buy a leaving present for the best nursery nurse who is leaving to go to college to become a nurse. She will be brilliant, but sad to see her go. Ds doesn't jnow what he will be missing.

YouEatedMyCookie · 31/01/2008 19:21

Always the good ones who go on to better things, isn't it.

Went swimming despite weather. No joke trying to shove pram through horizontal hail. dd all snuggled up in her blanket and cosy toes surveying the vista through her rain cover

Jennster · 31/01/2008 23:03

Wind howling, hail JUST melted, snow due tomorrow, off to the soft play tomorrow. Unfortunately I've had a couple of glasses of wine tonight.

Jennster · 31/01/2008 23:04

You mean like the bestest pharmacist you ever had going off to be a dentist

YouEatedMyCookie · 01/02/2008 13:16

Lively night over your way Jenn. That ferry just couldn't wait to get to Blackpool

Jennster · 01/02/2008 15:48

Huu?

Jennster · 01/02/2008 16:00

Just googled it. Suicidal more like.

YouEatedMyCookie · 01/02/2008 19:28

They'll have a job shifting it anyway.

Have treated myself to new wellies (this is old age catching up with me )
They are the fabby ones that have a rubber foot and neoprene leg so they'll even fit the leg that I broke a few years ago. Haven't been able to wear a full length welly for AGES. Have splurged my birthday money on them - it's an investment!!
