AUGUST 2008 - Relax and Enjoy

[TwilightSurfer]

LOL! I didn't want to put any pressure on "you know who."

At least you won't be able to see how fat I ahve got since Easter

TS I dare you... or maybe a Santa hat and a couple of red noses

Apple crumble and homemade custard anyone? there is also some leftover toad in the hole.

DD1 is okay thanks Hots - it has gone onto her chest so antibiotics and she will be right as rain tomorrow. Although sick as she is she yelled and screamed about missing nursery this morning.

'lo Cripy one.

Voluptuous my lovely

LOL at fiesty OopsAGirl

Leftover toad in the hole what kind of people are you???? Glad to hear DD1 getting better though

Am feeling a bit giddy tonight, v excited about going to see cyteen and maybe lwfh tomorrow. Leicester is surprisingly (to me) only 2 miles further than the campsite we go to in Whitby so not too scary at all. Although worrying how DS will get on without DD to distract him Have put his seat forward-facing so at least we'll be able to make eye contact occasionally.

Well DH ate 2/3 of it and I had bread, cheese and pate. He 'kindly' left some for DD.

DS will love his visit with J tomorrow, boys causing mischief together.

I am off to bed in a second - all 3 of us girls had a PJ day so I am still in my jammies

Hullo all, vv quick as I need to sleep tonight! As of today we own two houses, which is 100% too many, so trying very hard to persuade our nervous buyers to step up. We went over there today after collecting the keys and I still love it [phew] - DD had great fun tearing through the empty rooms. Bit worried that she seems to believe an extra child is coming with us to occupy the third bedroom though! His name is Bob apparently Packers arrive tomorrow EARLY, and we move in on Weds. Not sure how online we'll be to start with but will try to pop in before tooooo long.

Hope the northern meeters have a great time tomorrow! And that all the poorly LOs are soon better (and extra sleepy meanwhile).

eek at owning two houses pert, hope your buyers cough up tomorrow, and good luck with the packers tomorrow. Hope there are some nice muscly young ones

Bed time for me too, got an exciting day ahead tomorrow

Night all x

(p.s. thanks crispy re voluptuous!)

Pert are you telling us something without telling us something.

No garland! It's still VERY warm here so "winter" pics will be difficult to pull off. Thankfully I've scored the LAST photo session of the day which is 7. It will probably be a few minutes after 7 considering our photographer has a packed house this time round. HOWEVER, the sunlight at that hour this evening was PERFECT! I can only hope there's a repeat of the same for Wednesday. We'll be in the arty district on the bluff (by the TENNESSEE RIVER...for those mappy folks). I told DH I could put the girls in whimsical fairy costumes and let them carry balloons. He gave me this look. I have NOTHING to wear. Hopefully tomorrow will be happy shopping. R will be in tow.....so anything could happen.

I did a pilates class tonight at home. Here's the link to the class if anyone's interested. Rebecca's a trip in real life. She ooozes pilate's knowledge.

Will check IN in the morning. Night.

morning ..

TS missing pilates sooo much will check out the class when i get a free second ..

have dnephew AGAIN today so am also missing meet up grrr.. cm is back of hols but poorly .. sil has no one to look after nephew so guess how got roped in ..

dd1 still loving school but won't go to sleep at bedtime and wakes up a zillion times a night zzzzzzzzzz

busy day today with nursery time and trying out a new playgroup at dd1 school ..

hots betcha look gorgeous

oops hope dd1 is on the mend and glad she is her fiesty self

hooray for moving pert and fingers crossed you are not a double homeowner for too long

I am awaiting visitors :)

Also got up too late to wash my hair, so I look like a bum

to you too TS no, I am not dropping hints... Baby Bob currently exists solely in DD's imagination Her request has been noted but we are moving house FIRST!

Sorry to report Hots that my movers are not particularly lust-worthy. They are extremely efficient however - DH has taken DD to the ILs all day so I can stay here and supervise... by my estimate in an hour or so they will be done and I will be all alone in a house full of boxes! And a laptop of course

Pert - we have Talullah, she is a girl who lives in our garden. Thankfully no babies!Hope they are now gone and have left you the kettle out

Cyteen and Hots have a good meetup.

Good luck with the packing pert

hots/cyteen have a fab time

domestic goddess here today have made a chickem cassserole and a banana chocolate loaf! {don't tell hot mamas}

off to try out new play group in a bit... however exciting news.... I have an Interview for a Job!!! Its in recruitment, not far from home, no sales and will consider part time woo hoo... now to swot up before thursday

Loti that sounds fab - good luck for Thursday!

Pert hope move goes well - funnily enough we have a Bobby who very often is on the bus

Have a lovely Leicester meet up!

LOTI - DD and I have been cooking todsay too, we have made bread and jam. She discovered jam when she had a bite of DH's toast this morning. She asked how it was made and where did bread come from so we found out! My kitchen looks like a flour bomb has gfone off in it, we have both had to shower and are now waiting for the bread to come out the oven.

VG - I we love that book!

I am home! Footsore after chasing DS around all day; he does wander and wriggle when he's tired. BUT I had a lovely lovely time with hotter, lwfh and mr lwfh and their various gorgeous children. The sun shone on us today so I was able to show them around Leicester and not be too embarrassed Museum, picnic, walk to cathedral and wedding venue all delightful - thank you so much for coming to see me :) Just sorry that more people couldn't make it.

And I must say a huge thank you for my totally awesome picnic set I love it! Thank you so much everyone xxx

Enough Oscar speech - I'm off to make a cup of tea.

Just wondered what the Aug08 massiv think about moving to a private home on MN? Point 2 on this thread??

if we move to a private place we can't research ourselves when we forget our past...correct? not saying yay or nay just asking.

cyteen happy marriage lady!

oops that's how my kitchen looked yesterday after attempting cupcakes with the girls. i had to clean frosting off my washer window (door).

shopping went very well. i think i have pulled together a nice set of clothes for us to look pretty and casual in for tomorrow's photo session. just wish my face could be refreshed. will take the girls to pick out shoes later. both will be in dresses and they've outgrown their dress shoes. geez these kids grow fast!

lucky amazing news on the interview!!!

Hey gals, glad your meet up went well cyteen hots and lwfh, am very and to have missed out

Legs aching and eyes boggling a bit after driving loads of miles, was great fun and I nearly got to 100 miles an hour have worked up a bit of a thirst and hope oops doesn't mind but I am going to have a bottle glass of wine tonight

Meetup was fab of course, cyteen makes an excellent cup of tea and is completely un-bridezilla-like. I've seen her dress too . Lwfh and her family are of course lovely too and we had a lovely wander round Leicester chattering all the way

Tea time...

Yes loti I forgot to say WELL DONE on scoring a job interview. You will rock their socks, I'm sure :)

Crisp I think we should stay here. We are a postnatal club, after all, and I like our old threads hanging around in case we need them.

I do like the PM function though...about bloody time.
