Em no my birthday is in December! But up for celebrating anyone/everyone's days, I love birthdays! This year I get to know what its like to get the answer to life, the universe and everything ( am going to be 42)

jan2011 · 26/06/2012 08:41

lol sorry weegie thats wat i get for skimming through the thread! oh at 42 i reckon you know nothing of these things! lol
yes tomorrow we will all be celebrating :)

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 26/06/2012 09:09

Glad you're feeling better about your birthday Mome Raths - it's tough when your DC's are little and you have to help them to help you celebrate together. But they are a great blessing (well mine are most of the time Wink) and in a few years they'll be getting you a surprise card and a bowl of soggy cornflakes and breakfast in bed ! What have you got in for your birthday breakfast ? Can we all come over ? Make mine a pain au chocolat !

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 26/06/2012 09:24

lol at weegie finding out the answer to life, the universe, and everything this year ! By that reckoning I must have found out the answer 5 years ago, but seems I've forgotten what it was - sorry all !
Hope you have a good morning weegie and find both your appointments helpful x

lostmywellies · 26/06/2012 10:07

I've just remembered that two or three years ago I took the dcs for ice-cream on my birthday and wore nice sandals (with heels!) so I'd feel special and a bit less frumpy. Every time they see the sandals, they remember my birthday treat! Guess I don't wear them very often!!

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 26/06/2012 11:13

sorry the computer is not updating yet... just in case this seems an odd Hmm

prayers for aillidh

and "squee" i have just bought 34 second hand books for dd.... at 10p each.. solving a book supply problem. covering the non-fiction side of reading. expanding the curriculum sideways. and flicking 2 metaphorical fingers at school cos we don't need their reading books that you get charged £7 for if they get minor damage

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 26/06/2012 11:18

Lovely to hear you be excited about new books for dd, bes - I love a good find Smile

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 26/06/2012 11:19

how about an indoor picnic for tea, with cakes and errm more cakes and ... cake. we have piza from asda for birthdays. they are relatively cheap if you throw in smart price garlic bread and can normally do a tea for 3 adults and 2 children for under a tenner.

put some music on and dance

get a lovely something to eat when the children are in bed

can anyone see why i am not being very sucessful at dieting? Hmm

madhairday · 26/06/2012 13:03

Can we all join together and pray for Aillidh as much as possible through today? I'm still at home recovering and will use the time for this, she's on my heart so much, poor little love. :(

I have a love hate thing with FB but mainly love. I do post quite honest status' sometimes but other times keep it light. I don't know - I love keeping in touch with people and it feels a good way to do so....should have a cull really but I can't bring myself to.

Praying for you all.

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 26/06/2012 13:09

Absolutely mhd

  • keeping Aillidh and ex-pat in my thoughts and prayers x
SESthebrave · 26/06/2012 13:13

Praying.....
Laptop charger is broken so have been lurking via phone.

Holding Aillidh in prayer particularly but all you lovely ladies. I echo Jan's thoughts about the support from this thread. Support for eachother in prayer but also the support it gives to my very feeble prayer life.

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 26/06/2012 17:49

Trying to be positive about tomorrow now, after the pep talks. So I let DD make a card for me and have bought too many things to choose from for breakfast and real coffee for a cafetiere and balloons and a chocolate cake for us to eat in the evening with dinner. Now feeling guilty for splashing out though Blush

Thank you for all your kind words x

JugglingWithTangentialOranges · 26/06/2012 17:53

Only a mother could feel guilty about buying some coffee and a chocolate cake Mome Raths Grin

jan2011 · 26/06/2012 19:23

don'tstep nothing to feel guilty about! let it give you a boost - spending something on yourself for a change! you deserve it, youre precious, youre special. put it this way you are GODS precious child ... He wants to give you a nice time, just the way you would want to do it for your LO.

we got our shopping in today and i have some real coffee too so i will be putting it on in the morning :)

lostmywellies · 26/06/2012 20:12

My db is staying and it's also his birthday tomorrow, so I will be remembering you with pizza and a carrot cake tomorrow, MomeRaths.

Just think, if a woman in your situation was coming round tomorrow, you wouldn't feel bad buying coffee and cake to celebrate with her, would you? We have to teach our dcs to honour us - it wasn't long ago that I realised I was inadvertently teaching my dcs that my needs were ignorable. Enjoy guilt-free! :o

HaveALittleFaith · 26/06/2012 20:30

Mome Raths that sounds lovely and I think you should enjoy it!

CheerfulYank · 26/06/2012 20:43

Aw, Mome. :( I really cannot come to your birthday, as can not afford the plane ticket, but I so wish I could. I love birthdays and it would be so much fun!

Have a lovely day with your LOs and don't feel guilty at all. I'm putting my foot down about that! Wink

Lots of prayers for everyone.

gingercurl · 27/06/2012 01:18

Happy Birthday, DontStep!

Praying.

PositiveAttitude · 27/06/2012 07:08

Thanks HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mome Thanks and also to Lost DB.

I have been praying as I read, but not had time to post recently. SO much to do and time is running away with me far too quickly.

jan2011 · 27/06/2012 07:26

redwhiteandblueeyedsusan · 27/06/2012 07:30

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 27/06/2012 07:49

Thank you ladies Smile

Feel a bit sick. I've eaten too much Blush

Bluetinkerbell · 27/06/2012 07:51
