I'm here!!
Feeling a bit fluey the last couple of days, but doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Think it's just a reaction to being poorly and rundown.

Any sign of GTA yet?

JennsterSlugSlayer · 02/05/2008 09:28

Sneeze cough splutter sniff My sinuses are SO painful. If I couod have my head cut off I would!

worley · 02/05/2008 16:49

NO SIGN of GTA yet, dp is going up the wall!! im kind of glad its not here yet!! as i will be a GTA widow for a few weeks till hes completted it.

theres a top i saw in next but they had all sold out in my size, so the lady gave me the item number so i could order it online and it doesnt come up with anything, and i cant find it on their site either so im going to go back to our local next tomorrow and ask them to order it, she said it was popular and sold really quickly. its a black top with white stars on, its a sheer kind on material but i thought i would wear a black vest under it so not to show off my bra and blubber!!

Argh!!
Good luck with that one, Worley.

Am having no luck trying to find dd a pair of canvas baseball style boots. Adams have these but out of stock in her size in our area
They were everywhere last summer, but not this year

VoodooCoconut · 05/05/2008 19:33

matalan have some white baseball boots with colourful flowery patterns on that are quite cute, got dd a pair of pink trainers, pink sandals and pink jellies from there today- the jellies were free in a buy 3 get 1 free offer from the gods..left enough to get a new doorhandle to fix our bedroom door which was only broken for the last 5-ish months!!!

we had a viewing..a chinese family who would only deal with dh! we get tht quite a lot at work too, surprising nowadays but what-ever..meant I could watch Lazytown with dd while he explained all the fitted wardrobes/ what the neighbours are like...

JennsterSlugSlayer · 05/05/2008 19:45

Worley we had a go on our neighbour's Wii. Was good, but can imagine the house falling around with us still playing it so NO won't be getting one.

Voodoo. Good luck with the house negotiations.

Macdog, I got dd some velcro hightop baseball pumps from NewLook. They cost a fiver.

worley · 06/05/2008 22:27

yay, ds2's crocs arrived today,he is in love with the cars one and has refused to take them off all afternoon. i had to prise them off him to get him in his pj's and then he put them on until he was asleep and i have took them off him again! have a look not sure if that will work for you or not??

Macdog · 07/05/2008 20:06

oh nice one!

JennsterSlugSlayer · 07/05/2008 20:46

First day back at work today. I managed to express 8oz, even though ds is hardly feeding at all during the day now. He slept right through the night, but I woke at 4.50. God I'm tired now.

Oh and my friend bought some high top baseball boots for her ds the other week in that Irish shop like MandS. I can't remember the name but there is one in Glasgow.

worley · 07/05/2008 21:07

how long have you been off jenn?
i still feel like i have only been back a few months then realsied its been 17 months scince i came back. imnot happy with work at the moment, before i went on mat leave i was told i could go on the venepuncture course as soon as there was space, so when i came back from leave i was then told that they decided that another person could go do it instead as he was full time and they needed him more than me,and they can only train one person at a time, so fair enough, then he moves to a different job 3 days a week so now i do more hours in dept than what he does, and they have now decided that they will let 2 others do the course instead of me as they are full time. so it seems as if i dont get to do any pdp as im part time. the thing is, i trained to do i/vs at uni, but our dept like you to do an in house course before you do any i/vs. i also did i/vs when i was a vet nurse so i have about 6 years of i/v experience anyway......

rant over !!

JennsterSlugSlayer · 07/05/2008 22:11

Agghhh how frustrating. I've been off for 10.5 months. I finished a month early using holiday, and went back with 3 weeks unpaid. DS is now 9.5 months.

I think I'm going to get my first period in 3 years. Just what I need on top of sinusitis. My nose is so sore.

Macdog · 08/05/2008 10:40

Thanks Jenn. Going to Glasgow next week when dh working. Think that shop is Dunnes (?). Will also try Deichmann shoes. Just thought they'd be nice for the summer.

That's so unfair Worley.

Off out to go swimming now. Will try to pop back later

JennsterSlugSlayer · 08/05/2008 20:35

that's the one. could only think of dunhelm

VoodooCoconut · 08/05/2008 21:23

thats where I live! ha ha

poor worley when I was ft at work I was in charge of training, now Im part time noone bloody does it/ follows it up with the other members of the team as noone seems to think it is important only me!! Always think further training is the best motivational tool. it is frustrating to be part time and see things going to crap because nobody else seems to care.

worley · 08/05/2008 22:39

god im addicted to soliate again... i cant turn it off till i have won a game and i swear the computer cheats and keeps giving me crap cards on purpose....

i had me hair cut tonight, and its all smooth and lovely and i have a bit of a sweeping fringe again, except come morning i will NOT be able to get it looking so nice again
