The last one out forgot to start a new thread!

[blueberryboybait]

Morning, hope you all find me!

I am laughing so hard I'm crying. That last post just proves my house has taken decorating for the holidays to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!

pmsl TS, maybe next time eat a bit of gold glitter too, get the full colour scheme going

Glad to hear R is on the mend too. I am in awe of your nursemaiding skills; mine don't extend much beyond 'give a cuddle and get the Calpol out'

Enjoy your gym Ursula :)

boybait how is DD2 at the moment?

Another one in need of a haircut here. I am starting to look distinctly spaniel-like.

TS what on earth would Star and I be commiserating about? Surely you mean that we will be relaxing, glowing and enjoying this beautiful time together...

Hullo everyone, it's too cold to think here let alone type. I hate to think what it's like outside London. Hope you're all having good days though. DD got through soft play this morning with only one episode of violence, and that targeted at someone her own size, so that's an improvement of several hundred per cent on last week...

Afternoon all

TS - we have the glittery poo to match you festive red poo :) - DD1 was apparently licking the glitter covered pine cones they made for the Christmas tree.

Star - SHe is much better thanks - still occasional snot nad cought but is now slowly getting back ot her normal sleep self.

Perty and Star - hope you are both resting and eating for 2

I have to make an appointment for highlights and a trim - thanks for reminding me.

Bibi - hope last night was a resounding success.

Furture - yay for the sleep and that baby is already nicely low. Did you find out if it is a boy or girl?

Before I forget... (HA! yes the brain is functioning at a poor level this week)

Crispy, you asked why my FBwall was a non-poster. A few too many of my FBfriends became infected with a wall posting virus. To keep myself clean I shut my wall down. Until you mentioned it I'd forgotten.

BoyBait we should definitely get the girls together then! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

Seriously I have no idea why I find that so darn funny.

Of course Pert, what was I thinking.

Star thanks but it's only one step away from "head in sand".

When DS1 was still in nappies, it was not uncommon to find contrasting colours of chewed up wax crayons in them.

I am loving having DH about on annual leave for a few days - come ON Premium Bonds/Lottery ticket I haven't bought/clueless but wealthy elderly relatives.

Glad S seems better queenie

TS you always make me laugh

Afternoon all feeling like poo here with some sinusitis/cold thing that arrived yesterday evening . Off to Tescos to buy some decongestant among other things. Wow my life is exciting!!

Does anyone else have the odd message above the message box?

I do.

!@#$%^&*()_+{}:"?-=[];',./

Well those characters work.

Ahem, Cavey, your pseudonym is showing.

urs Ill sit out of the secret santa. Am properly skint :(

bbbb thirty six weeks here already! havent packed hospital bag yet!

I just ordered a DroidX smartphone. Not sure about the purchase because I love my BlackBerry. The selling point I used to pursued myself to "just do it" was the fact my monthly bill will be slightly less. Fingers crossed I've upgraded myself properly. In case you were wondering, I can't get the iPhone because I am not an AT&T customer.

Now, would folks please give me KK ideas!! I need to find something super special. Who knows the gift may be yours!!! Oh and please suggest something other than booze and chocolate as those don't export well.

crispy I felt a bit lost without my old moniker so had to change back

TS I have no idea what you are talking about, but it sounds great! I love getting new gadets

Queenie how can you be 36 weeks? YOu only told us you were pg about 2 weeks ago, didn't you? My that's flown!!

evenin' all

Evenin

Finally managed to escape from Brist ol - took 40 mins to do a 5 min journey . Thankfully it stopped snowing once i was en route otherwise it could have been hairy. Had a lovely lunch with some lovely ladies

Bedtime in a mo, back later....

Evenin :)

why so long crisp?

Hi all

Queen that's fine. The present can be handmade - rules are no more than a fiver, or homemade - so you may change your mind - but come to think of it at 36 weeks you may not want to be getting the glue and stencils out. I'll leave you out, and tell me if you change your mind. Just didn't want everyone to be gasping over their gorgeous pomanders and pincushions come December, and have you sitting going .

Coo me legs is knackered. Went running 2 days in a row (miracle). Fearing bad work news next week, trying not to think about it.

I am such a cheerful soul on the thread these days, aren't I . Is massive anti-cuts etc march on tomorrow but I will be at a mtng instead of waving banners.

Tell you what, though, I am IN LOVE with my family atm and that's what it's all about really, & keeping the show on the road.

I can't believe you have such severe snow already!

hipps it started snowing at about 4pm (quite heavily) and i think everyone left work/shopping etc and jumped in their cars, hence gridlock trying to get out onto the major routes. Cardiff is apparently gridlocked too, so good job you came over last fri!

ursula sorry to hear crappy potential job news . However, on the bright side you can join me, Star and Bibi in the exalted 'jilted and proud crowd' of redundants and potentially redundant workers . Loving the family loving - it is THE best thing

oh ursula I don't have any words for either you or Red

however sod off with the running show off I have managed to drop 2lbs this week which is a start though

I need some help ladies. I have to run a competition on both KnB and T without bankrupting us/me. It also can't be too complicated to follow.

SO ideas- Christmas Advent but that's a prize every day OR 12 Days of Christmas

how to do either - suggestions please
