Hello Ladies! I've come to show off my new NN Do you like it?

I know I may have to explain it, but I'd like to let you ponder for a while!

GlaikitFizzog · 09/08/2011 21:24

Oh its Lis BTW :o

less than 3 hours til the big 30

kittycatcat · 09/08/2011 21:42

What do we shorten that to lis? Grin my birthday is officially 4.10 am Tom but I'll dance with you now Grin
Are you doing anything nice tomorrow?

GlaikitFizzog · 09/08/2011 21:54

Officially at 6.23pm tomorrow I turn 30, so I've got a wee bit longer!

We went to Loch Lomond today, had lunch and a wander round the shops there. Glorious sunshine and beautiful scenery. I love we live so close to the "great outdoors"! Weather doesn't look too good for tomorrow, so will probably mooch around the house, maybe pop out for something to eat. Then we are going to friends in the evening I think.

I plan to have alcohol at some point too! maybe for breakfast, who knows!

And its LadyGlaikit to you Kitty :o!

kittycatcat · 09/08/2011 22:23

I loved it there. We had afternoon tea at Cameron house and were greeted by the bagpipes. [curtseys] (sp) I too will have alcohol tomorrow. C'mon explain the name while I cheat on google for clues.

kittycatcat · 09/08/2011 22:26

Cheated. But will keep quiet for everyone else. Grin

GlaikitFizzog · 09/08/2011 22:30

It's only an hour away from us! I really love my country. If we could only guarantee the weather I would never leave. But as Billy Connelly said " there is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes!"

Ach the names not that exciting Glaikit=daft Fizzog=face a bit like this >>Confused

GlaikitFizzog · 09/08/2011 22:31

Oh and get you going to Cameron House!! V posh!!

kittycatcat · 09/08/2011 22:31

Excellent quote and loveConfused

kittycatcat · 09/08/2011 22:33

There was a reason. What was the occasion? I went with dh who was then db and his parents, his bro and his bro's wife who is my best mate! I think we went to Scotland for grannies birthday and Cameron house was a treat. Beautiful round there.

Love the name Fizz.

We've had another crappy night, 9-1 2-3 3-5.30 and two huge gooey poo nappies already this morning. H was whimpering a bit in his sleep, had tummy gurgling all night and the poo smelt funny so I'm wondering if a slight tummy bug is to blame.

Not at all surprised to see the organised defence of temples in Southall last night, we used to live there and it's not far from our current home. The local elders are highly respected and there's a huge sense of community there.

Happy Birthday Kitty and Fizz. Hope you both have good days Smile

Happy birthday kitty and fizz!

I need some paracetamol and water, I think I caught too much sun yesterday.

AussieMum2Be · 10/08/2011 08:38

Happy Birthday Fizz & Kitty !! Hope you both have fantastic days with lots of presents thrown in Grin

Starshaped · 10/08/2011 08:42

Happiest of birthdays Fizz and Kitty!

Best night we've had in ages here. P did 7pm - 6:45am, with just two feeds in between. I'm still feeling super tired but hopeful that she hasn't forgotten how to have a decent night.

daisylulu · 10/08/2011 08:56

Happy birthday Fizz and Kitty Smile

J had a good night too - makes up for the lack of daytime naps and bad few nights earlier. Feel semi human today though think I'd feel an awful lot better if I hadn't had that half bottle of wine...

architien · 10/08/2011 09:12

Happy birthday Lis and FWIW I think you're far from glaikit!

All this news makes me incredibly thankful for what we have in the UK and personally thankful to have my own little family. I'm doing my level best to bring my two little ones up to be inspiring people who help to foster good in the hearts of the folk they meet. I think it's mind-blowing to think that how we raise our little ones with kindness and morals will influence and change the future.

Is it just my mad mummy brain which is considering getting chickens and increasing the veg and fruit garden output in order to avoid high food prices?

architien · 10/08/2011 09:13

Wow Kitty too! Have a lovely birthday Kitty !

MrsWajs · 10/08/2011 10:11

Happy birthday Fizz love the name!! And also happy birthday to Kitty too!! Pondering changing my name to ScunnertWajs!! Wink

Well feeding woes continued yesterday and contacted HV re: same, she didn't have much to offer except maybe it was teething, which I was poo-poo-ing but then last night the teat chewing started again so I guess it is that after all!! On closer inspection it would appear that the bottom left front tooth is just below the surface Confused woops!! So bonjela and calpol are go! Also gonna see if I can get some of that powder stuff I've heard about. Has anyone got or tried these
HV has said I can go and have R weighed again next wednesday if I'm worried about weight gain rather than waiting until the end of the month. I asked about early weaning, hoping for her to say "no, no, wait until 6 months" but she never, she just said that I could start at the end of the month if the feeding situation wasn't improved. Not sure whether I should let dp in on that little bit of info since he's keen to get started!!

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 10/08/2011 10:12

Happy Birthday Fizz and kitty! :) Today is my Grandad's birthday, he died a long time ago but it is a special day for me :)

arch - vegetable and fruit output definitely, apparently it isn't cost effective to keep chickens, although could be fun for the DC's?

GlaikitFizzog · 10/08/2011 10:24

Hello Ladies! Thank you for the birthday messages!! And Fizz has won on the NN of choice!! I'm happy with that!

Cards and pressies opened, DH is whipping up a storm in the kitchen for breakfast and B is wondering what the hell in going on!!

Just quickly checking in, I'll probably have to give MN a miss today and do "family" things :o!!

caramellokoalalover · 10/08/2011 10:44

Happy birthday kitty and Fizz! Hope the babies are on best birthday behaviour for you both.
