[Egg]

Just setting this up in good time so we can link to it before we lose each other...

I'm full of cold at the mo. Put ds to bed, dp gone to bed because he feels ill (I'm not allowed to be ill of course [grr] and twill be dd2's bed time in a bit. Am hoping that dd1 will offer to take her to bed as I don't really want to move....

hope you are eating lots of nice cold fighting things?

err... no.

I will make a cup a soup in a bit - that might make me feel a bit better.

Don't really feel like much tbh.

Maybe if I were to wake dp up and tell him I need thorntons cappuccino chocs he would pop to the supermarket to buy me some

p'raps not

I don't really feel like eating either with my tummy cramps but when I do eat I seem to feel a little better,

am throwing you up a choc, catch......

did I get it?

well it hasn't come back

have moved the chocs onto pc desk now so they are seriously depleting, really ought to go and do something useful with the sewing machine.....

I haven't had my sewing machine out for ages.

funnily enough, I was looking for dress patterns today but the shop didn't have what I wanted.

So the sewing machine is still in the cupboard.

I would love to be able to make dresses (am still at simple thing stage)

I can't make dresses.

Well, I might be able to. I don't know. Haven't tried one yet.

I want a dress. I know exactly what I want, it looks like this:
!!
/\

but I can't find one anywhere. So I thought I would have a go at making one.

Whether it will turn out ok or not....

oooh keep us posted, what sort of material?

I have just plugged the sewing machine in!!!! (its sitting behind me on dining room table)

this is kind of what I'm looking for

that is lovely, very stylish yet modern.
is it for a particular occasion?

no.

Just to have it.

I reeeeeeeally want it.

If I had it, I could go to such stylish places and be so chic and have so much fun with my funky dress and my pretty accessories.

But I can't find it so am destined to go through life in my jeans

you could wear it to Brighton, would look fab with a tiara

have just tried sewing machine and it keeps jamming up

your phone obviously didn't let you access the bit where I said

I can't sew

Yay Phono's here

and I'm still learning

morning ladies,
must be the weather, bright and sunny but cold here today.

ridiculous I know, just couldn't get to sleep, dh stumbled in at 00:45am then dd was crying and had to cuddle her for a while. Still on the bright side I managed to finish both The Diving Bell and Small Island, really enjoyed both although the Diving bell is not an uplifting book, have got that bereft good book feeling now .

Still debating whether to go out for chinese with baby group mums tonight, dh says go but I don't want to upset anyone as there are 2 pg ladies going and will now be going out on nFriday and Sat nights so not sure my aged body/head can cope .

morning

do the baby group people meet up often? if not, then go. If it is quite regular, then if you're not feeling like it, then stay in.

The tiredness will kick in tomorrow.

I have dp's laptop so have settled myself in the comfy chair, put cbeebies on the telly for ds and am planning on staying here all day.

Uh oh... ambulance first response just pulled up outside neighbours house.

we meet every friday afternoon at swimming pool with los and generally go out once a month without them but I haven't seen everyone for 2 weeks now and we aren't swimming this week, guess I will see how I feel by the end of the day.

am very of you at home, hope its not too serious next door?

have just eaten 2 slices toast with too much marmite on them and I already had cereal at home!

where is everyone else, busy having a rl?

guess so.

rl! pah!

ambulance still there. It's not actually next door, we live on one side of a green, they are in the opposite corner. The old lady that lives there had a hip transplant about a year ago and hasn't really recovered, so am guessing it's for her.

They're dropping like flies on the green this year, we've already had two die

another ambulance just pulled up as I'm typing.
