Hello again, Im getting very excited about the wedding now, and I thought I was as cool as a cucumber. I suspect I?ll be sobbing in a heap by about 1030 tomorrow with the emotion of it all. My friend is coming over and bringing her DD, with the hope that the 2 girls will entertain each other and let us catch some of wedding in peace. As well as my William and Kate mugs, I?ve painted my nails red and made strawberry shortcakes and coronation chicken for lunch. I?m starting to think today?s office joke of wearing my wedding dress while watching it is actually a good idea [cgrin]. DD took part in a royal wedding enactment at nursery today ? she told me about the dress (pink apparently, bet Kate?s isn?t), flowers, big cake, small cake and teeny tiny cake and the singing (Balamory apparently, bet that isn?t on the order of service). I?m a little sad that she won?t remember the day when she?s older
I did laugh at Waiting's MILs comment, that must have been intended as a compliment but couldn?t be further from it. Good job LF has a sense of humour! And good to hear that Summer's MIL has a good side
Poor DD Rubes, she?s been ill for a while now [csad], hope she perks up soon
Happy hols to Veg, bet you?re having an amazing time
Lovely to hear from PD, especially that your new job is working out for you. Good luck with the veggie patch. I am useless at green stuff, I?m am trying so hard, but another 2 plants appear to have keeled over and died today
I like Urbs' idea of summer picnic meet up and might be able to join in ? we have a free rail pass at work and as long as no one needs it for work purposes then we can use it for personal travel, so you never know ?
Jolly 7lb 8 is brill and well done on the conversing at the toddler group, I often find that traumatic, worse than the dreaded ?networking?, and just want to hide behind DD but am determined to set her a good example. Is it the attachments to the Kenwood that got left behind? I had a 70s Kenwood that went to the great kitchen in the sky recently, but I haven?t got round to getting rid of the attachments. I don?t think I have any bowls, but I do have (I think) the blender that sits on the top and the dough hook, mixer thing and a (wonky) whisk. I?m quite happy to send them over, the extra space in my cupboard would make it worth my while ? send me your new address if you?d like them
Jump that is scary about the pond, I?d be fuming, so glad it wasn?t a worse outcome
Waiting well done on getting to the stage of feeling like a proper mum within 9 weeks, I seem to remember it took me at least that long and I only had one to deal with. Hurrah for potty training, well done LF
LadyT I have a punnet of strawbs, I?ll swap a couple for a glass of Pimms. I was a bit of a Pimms boffin at one point (in my old old job, I did market research for Diageo, including working on Pimms and some of their other yummy brands). Did you know there were originally 6 varieties of Pimms? The gin based one is (I think) number 3, vodka was number 1 and brandy number 6. I can?t remember what the other 3 were, something old fashioned and obscure probably. You can still get the brandy version, no 6, now called winter Pimms and served with hot apple juice instead of lemonade. Yum
So lovely to hear you?ve had a good scan today Urbs, fingers crossed for the next one.
And Trace?s lovely boobs, what a relief
Must go to bed, it is nearly royal wedding day and I want to be up early to take it all in. Night all x
