[CappuccinoCarrie]

Shiny new thread for Christmas!

congrats pacita

Nickname is nowhere near as exciting as that!

Its just my initials

Perhaps you could all come up with a meaning for them?

"galaxy counters"????????????? Are you telling me I have missed something new wrt chocolate?????????????

Urgh have been ill in bed all weekend, have decided its a reaction to the swine flu jab I had on Friday. I just feel like I've got a hangover, headache and sleepy, and getting up to get a drink wears me out and I need a lie down again. DH has been amazing and looked after me and played with the DCs all weekend, I need to feel better tomorrow as we're supposed to be having a family day before he flies to America in the evening for 10 days :( :( :( I prob won't post much in that time as it'll just be a lot of moaning about how much I miss him!

I will however be checking in for pacita's birth story

And yes, what are galaxy counters?!!!

Sorry to hear you're feeling poorly Carrie - especially as your dh is off for 10 days. I hope you feel better soon.

Galaxy Counters are like Minstrels but without the crunchy shell. They are lush.

ooohhh, need to get me some of those!

carrie Thats just how I was before xmas with the added extra of a hacking cough. Hope you feel better soon x

What did pacita have? boy or girl?

Congratulations pacita !! I hope you are getting some rest :)

ooooh - sweet newborn (repeat Ninja does NOT want any more, ninja .......)

Hello!! Sorry I lost the thread while I was away in NZ, and things have been a bit stressed since we got back.

I'm book marking really, though dying to hear what is happening with everyone.

Someone please catch me up on the major events since.. erm, November. Is it true carrie is pg?? And pacita has a new baby?

Starlight bookmarking....

Hi Starlight :)

yes and yes :)

ooh hello Starlight and FP. It's been a while. How are you?

Tell us all!

I am knackered but SWI continues in ernest!

I too am SWI, which means that our once a month sex has increased our sex life by 100%!

Congratulations Pacita!

ROFL at 'swipe'. That's sure what it is!

carrie Galaxy counters are addictive . I have long since given up trying to eat half a bag and just scoff the whole thing. Sometimes I put half a bag in the car / shed so I won't be tempted to go back out after dark and finish the rest off.

Hello starlight and fp! FP are you in your new house now?

Congrats to pacita .

DS is covered in chicken pox at the moment, he's currently messing about on my bedroom floor playing with cars but he's full of medicine and I need to keep dotting him with cream. DD hasn't caught it yet.

I just gave away 14 ramekins on freecycle, how cool is that .

14?

I have a slight GU pud addiction. In my defence I usually only buy them when they are on special offer.

HI FP. How was NZ? Aren't you moving soon as well?

Star SWI? Are you adding a no 3?

Galaxy counters are too crunchy for me. LIndt Lindor white chocolate ones are the best. You have to eat them slowly as they are so huge you can't fit more then 1 in your mouth.

Yes, I think no. 3 will work.

Bit scared though.

Lovely to see some old faces here

fanny - you must tell us ALL about NZ. I hope you're settling back into it ok.

Lovely news about ttc no. 3 SAF

How are you feeling today Carrie?

14 ramekins is very impressive Meglet

Welcome back SF and FP!

meglet I was addicted to their choc puds and had MILLIONS of the bloosy ramekin thingies...gave loads away to family (who probably didnt really want them!) but still had some lourking in the back of the cupboard

I'd love to hear about NZ and your new home FP How are the LOs?

star sorry SAF, ttc No3. Wow, good for you! How are DS and DD?

And those ramekins are the perfect size to fit toddler portions of mac and cheese in for the freezer. {grin]

Bollocks

Hooray welcome back fanny! Yes I got a bfp after 11 months of trying, on the morning I was scheduled for my endo surgery! I feel like I've been pg for a million years already, and I'm only 10 weeks.
I've been wondering how you're getting on - packing up life and going down under for so long then moving back to a whole new life. I do hope you've had a great adventure and are settling in well to new home and new activities.

SAF you go girl with no.3!

Must get me some galaxy counters...in the name of market research you understand

Feeling much better today, have got up, had a shower and lunch, and not needed to go back to bed yet, which is progress. Feeling pretty tired though. Keep bursting into tears all over DH as he goes away tonight. I don't want him to feel guilty about going, since he really doesn't want to, but he's installing a programme he's spent the last year and a half writing, so all being well this will be the last trip. He hates the travel, the hotel, and the restaurant they always eat at, so at least he won't be having fun . Will miss him sooooo much though :( [sob] [pathetic woman emoticon]

carrie I hope you are in maternity jeans already, you might need them if you start on Counters. Glad you are feeling better today. LOL at "at least he isn't having fun". Can he bring you back any nice presents, whereabouts is he working?

just watched the 1st OBEM of the new series. The intelligent, well spoken teenage dad has me crying like a baby!
