Miamla I didn't want to put any pressure on you but I'm hoping this will be YOUR birth announcement thread.

thanks TS

we shall see... Pea may well have other ideas!

New thread, new baby (unless we all talk too much )

Mornin hunnypies.

Ah fond memories of the list. I just remembered being insanely jealous when we got the message that CeCe was being kept in for CSection on the Friday as mine wasn't booked til the Tuesday. Luckily Kurt started moving by himself on the Saturday night and was out in 24hrs.

Just thinking how lucky Cyteen, QoD and Sambo's boys are - they'll get 5 terms of free pre-school. Might drive you guys mad not having the all day free childcare but boys are supposed to do much better when they start school later.

Went for sauna, aquarobics then Greek dinner out last night, was great.

Great thread TS..

Morning all

Hello all

Car is nearly packed, DC settling down to watch Toy Story 2 for the fifth time this week () so we are nearly ready for off. Only trouble is that I pinged my back yesterday so am waddling and ouching rather like I was 2 years ago! Am dosing up on ibuprofen and hoping the drive to Norwich doesn't cripple me...

Miamla please don't have your baby until next Wednesday at the earliest, thanks

Cyteen I also recommend chucking a sicky taking the day off on Friday to meet lwfh, she's ace

its not me you need to talk to about arrival dates but I'll see what I can do

Her mattress isn't arriving til Tuesday so that's an added incentive for her to stay put for a few days

although saying that, the current song going round my head is 'how low can you go'

have a fab time hots, hope you don't get too wet!

oh and i had a lightbulb moment with DS this morning 'ba-ba' is apparently 'peppa &^%$ pig'

sorry lorti, missed you there...morning

Thanks for new thread TS.

HP - drive safely, take care of your back and most importantly have a fantastic trip.

Cyteen - you ar looking a bit peaky, you okay? I think you need a day in bed tomorrow.

Helloo Crispy, Miamla and GB

Morning Loti - x posted that short message took 45 minute to get posted!

Have a fab time Hots

M&D got back on Monday night and already driving me mad - 4 more weeks of this! I came home from work yesterday to find Mum reading my potty training book. I couldn't be bothered getting into a discussion about it so just said 'That'll be a useful read for you then'. I did point it out later that we would be waiting until after they have left to even contemplate it given that he didn't go for 4 days when they first arrived and yet was fine once they went on their mini-break.

Anyway enough of my rambling. I invited a fair few people to DS party thinking most would be on hols as it is a long weekend for us - Singapore's birthday on Monday but it seems to have backfired and now lots of people coming...Oh well nevermind. M&D were very put out at missing DS 1st Birthday so thought we had to do something.

Buckets I can never really work it out does that mean ours will go to school next year ?! I really need to get DS on a list somewhere here as it looks like we'll still be here when he starts school. As we'll be paying for it whatever I'm tempted to leave it a bit longer and keep him at nursery/pre-school. I don't suppose it will do him any harm and might as you say be better for him.

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

bye hots have a lovely time.

spring - deep breaths deep breaths

TS - lovely new thread

dealing with mood swings today, not good, not good at all

Oh dizzy lots of thoughts for you. What's up?

HP have a lovely holiday

MiamlaPea looking forward to meeting you soon

DS is almost the oldest in his year where we live in foreign too. I think that I'm pleased about this as well - it gives him a chance to catch up a bit and to really make the most of school and nursery when he does start.

springaporesingalong - yes I find it much easier for relationships with my parents when I am staying with them (lovely at the moment) but it is kind of easier with the kids when we are at home as I know where they are and how things work for them, without having to guess.

Really enjoying my parents house and garden, though!

CapitanCaveman Hurrah! 1pm, somewhere near the woodland play park bit. 5.20 parking (it's national trust) but then wandering around the park is free. Bring a picnic and I'm meeting another friend there too. I'll send you my mobile via FB

Just tagging to keep up

Cyteen - sickie

Spring - Sept 2012 under English system

Hots - happy hols

TS - Nice thread

Dizzy {{{{{hugs}}}} and a free chinese & bottle of wine for later

Morning everyone

Hope all ok. Not much going on here. Missed bounce & Rhyme because S decided to give me a lie in! Local barnardos shop is looking for p/t staff so am going to apply. Looking forward to free nursery for S I have to say. although I don't know exactly how it works, or how much time is free.

dizz hope you're feeling a bit better?

QoD free from term after their 3rd birthday

Hi Longway, glad hols are good (albeit hectic)

Dizzy (((hug))) I might be moodwise right there with you today.

Pondering flights to Florida to begin getting over this crap fear I have. We have a direct flight to Disney (orlando). It's an hour and a half flight. The airport here would be a breeze but the Orlando airport would be slightly stressing. Am I the only silly cookie here that doesn't fly?

R had her 1st chicken pox vaccine on Monday. I'm watching a waiting for a post vaccine problem. So far all is well. However, dd1, has a small earache. I attempted to bulldoze the mountain of wax out of her ears last night. Cue her whining the entire time. Not sure it did any good. How does all that crap get in there and why isn't there an easy way to GET IT OUT! It did make me understand why she been so LOUD lately. The girl can't hear herself talk.

Happy Birthday August 08 babies Don't know about anyone else but I cannot believe L is turning 2 - where has the time gone ?!?!

OMG! The August 2009 folks are still on the ORIGINAL thread they started post natal.

Hi Foghorn.

I am trying to channel Lucky so I can defeat the laundry monster sitting here staring at me.

TS the Aug06 girls are still on the 'our babies are one' thread!!!! since aug07 they've done 300 posts!!!!

miamla is that the west-country version of LOTI you refer to as loRti

TS yes. Get on that plane! We're going to Florida in 2012 if you can hang on for us?!! And how rubbish are Aug 09ers?!!

Dizzy hugs and smooches to you, come and sit on this comfy sofa in the corner

lwfh yay! I'll pull O out of nursery just for you and arrive with picnic and children for 1pm.

fogleg [waves] welcome!

cyteen are you off sick yet?

buckets sounds like you had a good night. i remember being thoroughly delighted at queue jumping 2 years ago, esp as my due date was the 17th iirr?

Channel away TS on my third load today ..

Officially finished Big Clean and skip has been sent on its way!!!

Been to Toys r us, and Sainsbury's twice today!! 1st trip was preparation things, second for actual food!!!

Have a bbq for family as i mentioned this weekend, apart from meat, am thinking of doing cous cous, Italian Bean Salad, New Potato and green bean salad, homous and crudities, tom/cucmber and crumble, shortbread,gingerbread men/ and princess fairy cakes... is that enough for 14 adults and 4 children and a baby???

Dizzy big hugs

Hots have a fab time!!!

Would you like to place your bets now as to whether dh, who is home today with ds1, will have hung the laundry out as requested? My money is on No Way!

Cece Nah!!!!
