The last one out forgot to start a new thread!

Morning, hope you all find me!

UGH!

I love the family of evil geniuses!

The only reason I know we have 13 stairs is because of ds2! And I agree, the older sibling is brilliant. Takes all the work out of early years education ime! It also means ds2 can sing a verse of Waving Flag and various other songs that aren't on the Sesame Street numbers and letters cds though... and some of them are rather choice and I suppose

I have such crap hair it's been in the same style since I was about 5, I envy you changing all the time silks, blonde for Christmas could be fun! Maybe I'll save up and get some highlights, though they dry me out and make me look like a throwback to the early 90s. I want sexy Cleopatra hair I think. I took ds2 to the barber for his first haircut!! On a whim, really, he has lovely dark blond curls and I suppose they did have a tendency to dreadlock at the back, anyway they are choppped off, not a buzzcut or anything, still quite long(ish) but he does look tidier and it's nice to see his eyes. Probably nice for him to be able to see the world, too.

star good luck with the voluntary boot today.

LOL I don't look good blonde, am too rosy really. See my sister's wedding photos for proof LOL - I was the bridesmaid with the peroxide undercut and tattoo.

Yay Pert, I am also known as AlabamaWhorley.

I got a 4th client today! My utterly half-arsed mailshot (of about 6 postcards LOL) has come up trumps and I have another storyteller coming on Monday evening to bring me a little home work. Shove that up your arse MrSilky!

Ladies I come here in total and utter embarassment! DD1 has worms

hey all. Sorry for absence. Half the keys o laptop don't work so have to copy and paste. very annoying! and slow.

Sorry to hear of illess, arsey Hs, work woes ad worms!

All ok here. S cute as ever. DP working hard as always. got six weeks to go to due date, so on last leg. Sorry to keep so brief but this copy paste malarkey is bloody slow!

No apologies necessary Queen, tis lovely to see you here :) Good luck for the last 6 weeks - it seems to have flown by although probably not to you Are you getting excited?

bbbb sympathetic eww at worms in poo. My ex-flatmate's son had them and found it very traumatic, but he was 7 so probably feeling the school shame pressure.

eeeeuuuuuwwwwww! sorry boybait.

great silky! more work. more fun!

hi ursula.

busy me. girl scout leader meeting after both were dropped at school. director of preschool then asked if i'd project manage the new playscape. met friend for lunch with our smallests in tow. home for a moment before dd1's pickup. exhausted but proud after looking over the plumbing i did last night....we had a huge kitchen leak. it's all dried out now thankfully. i should really go knock the leaves off the gutter while i have a moment. my dad arrives tomorrow. family tea on sunday. can't find a time to sleep-in anywhere!!!!

hi queenie!

hi star!

what about Hi to me?

Both boys are screaming in the bath as dh keeps chucking cold water at them. I should point out they are screaming with laughter....

hello Shiney! :) so what about this festive northern meet-up then?

Cheers star, I've posted a message on the fb thread for northern meetup. I've got a couple of Mondays I could manage between now and Christmas, let me know which suits you?

well if you're having a northern one, we'd better have a southern one too

evening ladies and a special big hi to shiny

HI SHINEY!!!

Hey there Hipster!

hello TS

are you all sleeping still?

No flaming way - up since 6 baking and so tired I have managed to wreck 2 batches of brownies and have failed to rescue them!

let me know if you need a good brownie recipe

I made brownies for the first time ever during the week, I used Nigella's recipe from Dom God but they turned out just like chunks of chocolate cake, I suppose they were overcooked, though they only had less than 25 mins.

i'm here, been up since 6 too sigh.. girls are in a manic mood and so not up for it [sigh]..

brownies drool... hip i'd like a brownie recipe please

morning all. I managed to frantically get all my baking done yesterday which is just as well as girls wrecking the place.

bloody freezing here [meep]

trying to catch up. Thanks for all kind words (as usual) my head is still mince with it all so I'm trying not to think about it [buries head in sand]

Hi Queenie lovely to hear from you - glad you're doing well and only 6 weeks to go

Ursula sorry if I'm jumping the gun but do we need to send you addresses for Secret Santa?

Enya are you feeling any better?

I think I spoke too soon about feeling better last two days not been great but think compounded by severe lack of sleep on Thursday night as couldn't get cat in, dh rolled in at 2am and DS woke up at 5.30am. I am getting terrible headaches.

Merlion - be careful, I had pregnant migraines and they're horrible. Rest up and plenty of liquids

Yes, I had dreadful first trimester headaches with DS and they sucked. Hopefully DH can take over active parenting duties today and let you get lots of rest.

The sun is shining here so I'm getting my clean on. DH has taken DS to soft play while I go vacuum cleaner crazy. Just taking a breather before mopping begins! Have also cleaned our disgusting fridge
