Good afternoon fine ladies
All made up with DP now so feel better for that. These sleepless nights don't arf up the stress quotient in a relationship.
Right! RamboRubo, you aren't to go anywhere I would love a spa trip and a trip to Brighton to see Spot, my only worry is the combination. I could do spa somewhere closer to home or possibly London, shortish notice, or Brighton with the DDs (and therefore no spa). We should go and see Spot in December though because I remember how tough that last month is and how one needs cheering. I can finally contemplate leaving the house with both in tow. I will try Oxford as a dry run later in week and possibly London next week now that my insides don't feel like rice pudding held together by chicken wire.
PD - if you want cheapy, go to holidayhypermarket.com or directlineholidays.co.uk but I would say Egypt rather than the Canaries. I went in the last week of Nov last year and the temp was only 25/26C at best so fine for smalls. We went to Luxor but you don't want to do sightseeing and is of course not beachy. Sharm is supercommercialised so perhaps one of the other places? Pluses for Egypt are nicer weather, no Euro (so a lot cheaper) and yummier food. Yes, who will be the first granny on here? Like VeggieVaggieJahooli, I don't see teenage pregnancy as the worst thing in the world. I mean, it's not great but I think there are worse things.
JJ, I know what you mean about grandparents. All my DDs gps are over 70. Mum is 72 but you wouldn't know it and I think she is still glam and full of beans. Thank you so much for reading DH's book. I am always thrilled when people like it, because I think one gets such a sense of him. We still have the same bunch of reprobates playing, in the main. Are you feeling better? And thank you for my lovely card!
DB - it sounds so difficult for your Mum at the mo...Oh, and it must be your DS's birthday soon as I think he was the day before O.
VegVag, yes, I loved A Cock & Bull Story. Oh, and Ak is brilliant to be settled in so well, he is such a star. But you knew that anyway.
Beans - so is the heating all mended? And did you have a regular coil or a Mirena coil? They are plastic and doused in hormones but the selling point is that unlike the Pill, cos you're not swallowing them they aren't processed by the liver and swilling round your bloodstream so you don't get the moodswings/sore boobs. But I am still squeamish about it. What a wimpo I am.
Spot, I am finally sending you a little package today. Sorry for the delay. Have the ABs kicked in? If your DP is feeling too rotten to be into the idea of the new baby, remember we are all here to enthuse about him.
Sybs, I dreamed about you last night. I came to collect you from the station on a rollercoaster and we played scrabble with a friend of mine. Thank you for the LOVELY parcel, the colours are just right, you clever old thing.
Trace, that is so amazing that P's little arm mended so fast. Magic. As for L's fall, it's just one of those horrid facts of life that children trip over. And stairs are tricky at the best of times.
Hmm, I think I have missed people. Must go back and look.
