August 2008 Laugh Line

[TwilightSurfer]

Too much pressure and too little thread space left me with but one choice so here we are. Let's discuss further the private space because quite honestly the "private" space is not so "private" at the moment. I'm no detective BUT there's only a handful of threads over there and all are beckoning me to read through them. For the moment we are safer here. Like a new model car, we should wait and let the kinks be worked out by the folks that can't WAIT to be part of the "new thing."

Hooray! MOAR BABIES :)

Let's hope it's MORE babies because I'm not sure we could handle "MOAR". LOL!

Woo woo Spring

With DD1 i was pg and didn't know. Went to my niece's 5th birthday party and spent the whole time jumping up and down on the bouncy castle with her friends, and then had a few glasses of wine in the evening to celebrate with my sister. Oops

oops i think you are right to just avoid stuff with this lady for the time being. I really hope she doesn't pass anything back to your 'ex' family

hots we had to have low bunk beds as you may (or may not) remember that our ceilings downstairs are only 2m. This means the girls cannot jump up and down on the top bunk as no headroom. DD2 sleeps on the bottom and DD1 is still in her room as they won't share . DD2 despite being a prolific climber cannot actually get up the top yet, but i imagine Thor may see it as the ultimate challenge . Headroom on the bottom not huge, but ok

QoD glad leccy company are seeing a bit of sense finally. If you have the fight in you then take them to the ombudsman. I took the Halifax to the ombudsman over the sale of my flat and had 2 out of 6 counts upheld for financial loss and he agreed with the other 4 but no financial loss attributed. I didn't get massive compensation, but it pleased me that they had to go to SO much effort to defend it, looking out papers etc at HO/branch etc, whereas i had mine to hand so easier for me IYSWIM?

Best go do some work before picking littlecrisp up...

yaaay spring congratulations! I was just pregnant with S at Christmas 07. I drank a lot - he is fine. It happens to an awful lot of people.

crisp we're tempted to just leave it and swallow the bitter pill. But have just had a phone call from Consumer Direct's serious complaints department so it looks like someone besides us feels that this is a genuine problem. So they are now emailing a complaint to the company!

I've tagged a wedding picture on fb if anyone wants to see...it should be visible to my friends now (I think?)

I can't see it

yay!!! congratulations spring!!!!

i have to admit i skim read to find out the baby news..off to catch up properly now!

Dizzy this is for you.

go get em qod

spring i was v drunk, most evenings between christmas and new year on the bottle of port that dh gave me. i should have poas earlier but hey ho! i wouldn't worry, happens to many people!

cyteen..nope, no photo for me either

Hmm, try this

absolutely gorgeous!!! both of you! wow!
I love your necklace

oh cyteen you look just lovely

Spring - congrats

Stunning Cyteen ...

went to a new class with dd2 today gymbories.. she absolutely loved it and took her to nursery time today too.. feel like a very good mummy today

that's really cool loti, i keep meaning to find out if there's a gym thing near us for DS so you've inspired me to google now

Ah, just lovely cyteen. You both look REALLY relaxed and like you are enjoying every minute

LOTI I think both mine would love a gym thing, but don't seem to have the time to commit every week to a class. Do you know if they have drop in ones you can just pitch up at? (space allowing obv?).
Well done on a good day BTW - mine have been farmed out all day to CM and preschool. I have achieved getting 'stuff' done, including finally setting up a new personal pension scheme

Just had baked ham, new pots & cauli cheese for tea (yum), DH has a beef bourgionne (sp?) in the oven for dinner tomorrow night and we have 2 soups (lentil, tomato & bacon and pea and ham) on for our lunch visitors tomorrow. Just the 2 baskets of laundry to put away and i may be somewhere near caught up with myself

Hurrah for your picture cyteen, you look lovely

Just off to do my exercises but just wanted to tell TS something to make her feel a bit better about cousin naming their DC a very similar name to your DD1. Been speaking to sil today; apparently the little baby that her sil had last month and we thought was called Betty, turns out that Betty is the nickname, but not short for Elizabeth like you might expect - no, she is actually called my DD's name so my sil has two nieces and they are both called T . Apparently the new mum was mortified when she realised, I just think it's funny After all it's a great name

Cyteen - you look absolutely stunning.

DD's in bed, I made Nasi Goreng for DH and I had plain old stirfry. I also madethe most stunning loaf of bread today soft with a yummy crust, it is waiting to be pudding with homemade lemon curd on it.

Loti - DD1 would love gymboree but there are no classes near us.

hots I can beat you on that one . My SIL has two nieces with the same first AND second name LOL. We were the second to name . In my defence i didn't know

Mmmmmm Nasi Goreng

cyteen you look utterly stunningly gorgeous , congratulations MRSCyteen

tweakers your bro is a knob (but then you know that anyway!) I am lolling at the thought of your ds and his 'mr kipling eyes' (he does have exceedingly beautiful eyes)

VG O is still in a cot. Debating a bed but don't see the need just yet as he can't climb out of said cot

oops you sound like you have the child carer dilemma sussed? I am envious of your culinary genius though!

loti good news re them wanting you for the job! Hope there is a vacancy when the time is right.

spring fab news!!

dizz/sazz/qod watcha (sorry to anyone i missed there, nothing personal!)

hotpot how could I miss you off!!! Can you forgive me?

Shit TS I missed you too . Can you forgive me?

Of course cece , must be that victory that's gone to your head

You win crispy does your sil have lots of far-flung nieces and nephews to give you the excuse? My sil's sil knew all about T but she just forgot in the post-birth haze (or she never listens to anything my sil says...) Thanks for the info re bunk beds. We have decided to go with the taller ones as Thor doesn't need any encouragement to bang his head on stuff I don't remember your house at all actually, you'd better invite me back for another look

oops I have no idea what Nasi Goreng is but your bread sounds yummy. Am back on a health kick for the next few days weeks months but would kill for some fresh bread toasted, left to go cold then lathered with lurpak and smartprice marmalade

PMSL cece

I am trying to find a wardrobe and chest of drawers for DD2's room. I would have got the same drawers as DD1 has and a matching wardrobe but M&S the feckers have stopped selling the drawers

So, i have found this wardrobe and this chest of drawers. I can get the wardrobe for £20 less, but it is still ££££££££. Anyone seen anything similar but cheaper?

Ooh and I have sort of made my first new friend at the school gate today, hurrah! we went to the park on the way home from school and one of DD's friends came in about 5 minutes after us with her mum and 2 other DC. They played and we chatted for for about 40 minutes, was really nice.

Ouch crispy, they are v nice but fecking expensive Maybe too far in the other direction but we have got some similar drawers from argos which come unstained to paint if you want but they are only pine. Do you deffo want oak?
