Hi tweakers Grin

Dizzy no need to apologise, not as if you've had much on yourself! It's all grinding on... purchase is just about ready to exchange I think, sale still has some queries - the survey brought up some problems with the roof but it's taking ages to find out what it is and who needs to do/pay what... Every phone call I make I hear "so we have sorted issue X [which we told you was the last thing outstanding] so now there is just issue Y to deal with..." [frustrated]

DH is away this week hence no-one here to tell me to go to bed. Haven't tidied the toys either. Blush

MrsMiamla · 11/08/2010 23:08

oi! i'm not tweaking just yet! (just in case it starts the ball rolling in 25mis like oops!)

but actually...perhaps i should have a name change Wink

tweakers · 11/08/2010 23:09

ta daaaaa GrinGrin

I kind of like it Smile

tweakers · 11/08/2010 23:10

pert did you sort out the mortgage nonsense that was going on? (seem to remember you having a rather 'firm' chat with someone about it whilst you were at our picnic!)

pertelote · 11/08/2010 23:12

Suits you Grin

tweakers · 11/08/2010 23:13

why thank you... I think! Grin

pertelote · 11/08/2010 23:16

Ooo, almost, thanks Tweakers [chortle] There have been so many things, that side of it is our fault for making things a bit complicated but it does seem that people can only fix one issue at a time and so it all takes SO long. But I'm still hoping we can move maybe the first week of Sept so it could be worse.

pertelote · 11/08/2010 23:20

Goodness, the end of Newsnight, haven't seen THAT in a while. Must go to bed. Happy birthday to tomorrow's birthday girls in the Crisp and Irish households!

tweakers · 11/08/2010 23:20

first week of sept? blimey! that's in no time at all!

you're welcome to hang out over here with M if you want to escape the moving day chaos and leave Mr Pert to it Smile I just can't imagine us moving and having DS around to 'help'.

pertelote · 11/08/2010 23:24

Thanks Smile That could be really helpful, I can't quite imagine myself yet how it is all going to work. It is soon really, isn't it! But you will have a baby by then, my dear, so any visit will involve me bringing you tea and cake and playing with T while you sit on the sofa or go back to bed!

tweakers · 11/08/2010 23:26

hey if you're bringing cake, you can move in Smile

T and M entertained each other really nicely before so how about we both sit on the sofa and leave them to it? Smile

its a serious offer though so just let me know when you know dates etc

right, Tweakers is off to bed Grin

tweakers · 11/08/2010 23:28

although pert, i do feel like we're in a bit of a race now..what's going to happen first... my DD or your house?!!

on your marks...get set...... TWEAK

springaporesling · 12/08/2010 05:51

HAPPY BIRTHDAY E & T

Tweakers I do like the new name. I'll take the early morning/middle of the night shifts with you as time difference permits.

Dizzy I too would be very excited with the first purchases on the credit card.

Pert that is soon. Definitely best if you and M can be out of the way. When we moved DS only came to the new place at the end when the removal men were about to leave. He loved running around the old place with nothing in it though! Lots of space!

oopsandbabycoconuts · 12/08/2010 08:44

Morning All

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRISP-E and IRISH-T I think you were getting together today - if so have a wonderful day.

Pert - Shock that is soon - less than a month.

Tweakers - Nice name :)

Dizzy - yay for paying in to the new bank account and the christening of the company card.

We are off to the fire station this morning - for the girls honest Wink then 1st post-natal group this afternoon.

luckoftheirish · 12/08/2010 09:04

morning,

thanks for T's birthday wishes! alas oops crispy is in the fair green land but i am in drizzly Brum!!!

pertelote · 12/08/2010 09:06

Oh well Loti hope you have a lovely day despite the rain!

Oops enjoy the fire fighters engines Wink

Tweakers no way am I racing with you! You are miles ahead and with so many more tricks available to help things along! Although if tweaking my nipples would make this move happen any faster I would be prepared to give it a try...

Spring I keep meaning to say that a friend of mine has just moved out to Singapore. She seems to love it so far.

oopsandbabycoconuts · 12/08/2010 09:41

Sorry - Loti my brain failure strikes again! - they are meeting with Red and Co I think but then again my brain could prove me wrong YET AGAIN!

springaporesling · 12/08/2010 11:27

Pert feel free to put them in touch if you think they might need help with anything.

tweakers · 12/08/2010 11:43

having a bit of a down morning,DH got his priorities completely skewed last night which meant that he left ironing a shirt for work til this morning after he'd snoozed his alarm for half an hour. Ironing whilst DS is awake doesn't work too well and he got stressed because i wasn't quick enough to catch him before he got to him and where the iron was. Everything fine, no accidents but DH not a happy bunny. Oh and he also left the kitchen for me to clean, dishwasher to load etc despite my asking for his help. Hmm

i'm off to bed to nap whilst DS rips more wallpaper off his walls sleeps

cyteen · 12/08/2010 12:30

HAPPY BIRTHDAY E & T Welcome to your third year Shock Hope the mummies enjoy the day too, full of reminiscences I'll bet.

I am overcome with nostalgia atm, everything takes me back to those last few weeks, and then those magical first days...although I don't miss the piles and heartburn Wink

Buckets sorry to hear that your suspicions have grown stronger. I know it's been on your mind a lot as K grows and develops. Small consolation it may be, but at least you are in a good place to take positive action, whatever happens - you are so well informed now, and from your posts I'd say your DS1 is absolutely thriving. It's also obvious that K is a loving, cheerful little boy and that you dote on him.

dizzy well done, you are a Proper Businesswomen now! Grin

All very ho-hum here, albeit in a nice way. DS's speech continues to develop - this morning he came to me and said 'did a poo' :) Tbf I had already realised Grin but very impressed all the same!

The other news this week is that some losers fellow plot holders have complained about the state of our allotment. My friend had a call from the site manager, who is not bothered as she knows we are up there working on it a lot, but she has to pass these things on. They are moaning that it's full of weeds and that we haven't done anything down by the shed end. That massive cleared bed next to the shed must have dug itself then Hmm And there are lots of weeds, but in between them are courgettes, lettuces, tomatoes, sweetcorn, squash, Jerusalem artichokes, rhubarb canes, leeks, cabbage and carrots in various states of growth.

We all had a good laugh about it Grin

QueenofDreams · 12/08/2010 12:31

Morning all.
DS in foul form again today. Everything is an excuse to start the shrieky whingeing that does my head in! Ah well. We spent the day out with MIL and mini-SIL yesterday. Met up with BIL at lunchtime and MIL talked him into buying S his first pair of trainers GrinGrin Only £6 as well (down from 20) Hips definitely felt a bit wrong last night though after such a long day on my feet. DP really doesn't get just how much pregnancy affects your body. So he keeps insisting that my hips were hurting because I'm usually too inactive Hmm If you say so darling. Grrr.

tweakers I'm loving the new name! hope your day has improved somewhat Confused

spring no worries - unless you work for the collections department in which case Angry Wink

Happy birthday to the birthday girlies!

Ooh also wondering if anyone would want to come to Seb's birthday do? Nothing fancy just a little buffet at MIL's (she has a fabulous garden) It's probably going to be on 18th Sept, ao anyone London/South East based let me know if you can make it down Smile

TwilightSurfer · 12/08/2010 14:00

Happy Birthday E & T!! Two years seems like yesterday. Smile

springaporesling · 12/08/2010 14:05

Ooh I forgot to mention I'm getting my first sniff of my friends twins tomorrow - can't wait to see them.

QoD would love to come but fear it is a little far! Sorry not my area - my 'customers' (not that I see any these days) are kind of at the other end of the spectrum Wink

TwilightSurfer · 12/08/2010 14:10

Cyteen one man's weed is another man's pot flower.Wink Why on earth would someone stoop to complain over another person's allotment. Are these raised bed allotments where your dirt and plants are separated from others' dirt and plants?Hmm And it's the growing season at it's transition point where you begin to remove summer items in order to plant fall items?? Point me in the direction of these complainers and I will straighten things out immediately.WinkSmile

AF finally here. 31 day cycles SUCK!

Will type more after a little girl is removed from my neck.Confused

DH has left a cheery message on the answerphone so at least he's not sulking!
I've had a nap and a shower and its all seeming a bit brighter round here
there's a pizza in the oven and DS is watching Peppa &^%$£ Pig

so there's definitely a few more Smiles around here now

cyteen can't believe the cheek of some people! at least site manager sounds like she's got a couple of ounces of sense in her
J's language is really moving quickly isn't it!! T started using the word 'big' yesterday in mostly the right context!

qod hope you're having a pyjama day today

ts if i pop round will you make me a packed lunch please Smile your fb photos of K's are great!
