went ok, it was only 4 hrs! Half the shift were still TITP, some on annual leave and the rest of us too busy to fart. Only 4 hours again tomorrow!!

Went to the farm and the lady has given me another order for Fri that and the festival on Sat should make for an interesting week

TwilightSurfer · 12/07/2010 18:06

Oh yes, LWFH do have a pleasant flight back to the UK.

Dizzy you love what you do (baking that is) so don't worry. I'm more than happy to keep you company on a late baking night. Too bad you don't Skype as we could both hang in the kitchen (our own) and chat.

Good Evening Singapore

Dad has been taken from his cardiologist appt to the local hospital in an ambulance to A&E. I've only managed to speak to him briefly and am now waiting on his consultant to phone me back

I'd like off the merry-go-round at some point please

hotterpotter · 12/07/2010 18:53

Oh Dizzy darling, that doesn't sound good Will be keeping everything crossed they can sort him out.

Was rather to go on 'threads I'm on' after more than 48 hours away to find only 12 new messages, of course that was because there is this new thread with nearly 100 messages on it

Had a lovely weekend, weather gorgeous as I'm sure it was for most of you, but stayed up a bit too late with one drink too many so have had to drive home today with blowers on cold in my face and call in to McDonalds for coffee and fries Early night tonight I think...

MrsMiamla · 12/07/2010 19:11

oh dizz, i hope they're just being overly cautious xx

dizzydixies · 12/07/2010 19:11

have just spoken to his consultant. He's not happy with his ECG and the pain he is having although he isn't apparently in any imminent danger. Just as well seeing as I wouldn't get down before visiting finished and dbrother etc flew to Salou on holiday at 4am yesterday

glad weekend was good Hots, am fecking shattered and have cried off a meeting tonight supposidly to sort out stuff for tomorrow/weekend but after that phone call I'd rather just crawl under my duvet and sleep!

oopsandbabycoconuts · 12/07/2010 19:25

Dizzy {{{hugs}}} he is in the best place for the care he needs. Fingers crossed if is just a precaution.

Hi HP, was wondering where you were

MrsMiamla · 12/07/2010 19:53

dizz, i agree with Oops, he's exactly where he needs to be and there's still the chance they're being over cautious
Make sure you cancel as many commitments/meetings as you can this week. you need to take it easy on yourself (especially this week) and if you want to crawl under the duvet, then that's exactly what you should be doing

LittleNutTree · 12/07/2010 20:55

I was looking for the August 2008 ladies, but I must be in the wrong place - I do not have a child who is turning 2 soon!!

oopsandbabycoconuts · 12/07/2010 21:03

No, no 2 year olds here yet

LNT - how are you getting on?

Where is everyone?

CaptainCaveman · 12/07/2010 21:04

dizzy it never bloomin rains does it?! Hugs to you you poor love, miamla speaks wise words, cancel what you can and look after yourself most importantly - you have to preserve yourself for baking

crispy hope your travels went well?

LWFH where are you visiting this time in UK? are you meeting up with any of us hairy bikers?

LittleNutTree · 12/07/2010 21:28

I'm good thanks oops, just keeping busy with work at the moment, although I've been a bit quieter the last week or two with the school hols just starting. How are things with you and yours? I loved the pics on FB that you put on not too long ago! What a couple of cuties! Did I hear right a few days ago that E is now 6wks old??? That's mad!

Aww dizzy, I agree with everyone else in that you need to look after yourself. You've had a hard couple of months and with all you've got coming up, you don't want to burn yourself out.

Hope you're doing fine and Pea hasn't caused you any more bother miamla!

Buckets, I tried at the weekend to start knitting again (after being inspired by you a couple of threads ag!), but gave up after getting bloody a little frustrated at trying unsuccessfully to increase my stitches. I found a video on Youtube that helped a bit, but it only showed how to do it at the beginning of a row and not the end. I'm useless at working things out in reverse IYKWIM and if Gabriella hadn't been there, I'd have been swearing and throwing the knitting needles!

Hope this holiday goes without event Crispy!

Hi to anyone else I've missed!

MrsMiamla · 12/07/2010 21:31

oooh, someone's said i speak wise words...that's a first!!!!

yup, Pea's under strict orders to stay where she is... at least until i've finished interviewing for my cover at work!

dizzydixies · 12/07/2010 21:47

thanks guys - my Dad's neighbour has phoned to say she's collected his car and taken him in a bag and will be back in to see him tomorrow

and I have to get a gazebo for Sat as I'm out in the open and this is Scotland after all!!

oopsandbabycoconuts · 12/07/2010 21:54

OOh Dizz - not just a gazebo to keep the rain off but something to hang your bunting from - advertising space To Bed with you right now!

readyforanything · 12/07/2010 22:04

oops is being very bossy tonight

MrsMiamla · 12/07/2010 22:06

wow, sounds like your dad's neighbour is lovely

now go to bed!! (yes, there is an echo round here!)

I'm being sent off to bed myself now but i've had a lovely evening making a rather kitsch apron

oopsandbabycoconuts · 12/07/2010 22:07

Only because I am sitting on the sofa eating the worlds easiest to make brownies, drinking cold milk, with a baby on my lap and no one in this house listens to me when i am bossy. So I thought I would try it out on you lot!

oopsandbabycoconuts · 12/07/2010 22:08

To bed with you all!!!

MrsMiamla · 12/07/2010 22:10

yes mum

night night

will you be up soon to tuck me in?

oopsandbabycoconuts · 12/07/2010 22:11

No, you are now old enough to tuck yourself in but take a brownie incase Pea is hungry in the night.

readyforanything · 12/07/2010 22:16

Oops, if I hadn't met you by now I would have scary nannytypeperson visions! I can just see you standing there with your rolling pin in a starched white apron (nothing kitsch about that one).

Would love to defy you (just because I don't like doing what I am told) but as I have already obeyed tonight I am going to bed too. DD has finally remembered how to sleep through the night again, so last night I couldn't get to sleep til after midnight and woke naturally at 5.15 .

dizz, hope all is well with your dad, glad he has a lovely neighbour to support him.

take care all

cyteen · 12/07/2010 22:34

LNT how are you feeling atm? Did I dream you announcing you were pg a few threads ago, or is it happening?

Haphazard posting from me too at the minute. DH has the bug we had. The builders are still here. Lots of work to do, but this three children / no childcare in any form ever business is getting ridiculous. Oh for the money to pay for even an hour of it.

Tis my own fault for picking eye-poppingly expensive floor tiles.

Thinking about PapaDizzy and sending all best wishes too.

I hope LOTI is getting on ok on her holiday.
