April 2009 Episode 15 Bebe & BB have babies n stuff

[PuzzleRocks]

Ta da

Blardy boiling here! girls are in nappies only and I look a delight in my vest top and pj bottoms with my post op belly and unsupported milk machines but its too hot for any more layers!!!

How does Friday 18th Nov sound for a meetup? Drink/ meal in the evening?

Works for me - it's only a few days before my birthday so I can easily justify a night of drinking not worrying about bfing!

Well, I'm in London that day for my course, so there's no way I can not go, is there Depending on where you're planning on going and what time, I may need to avail of someone's hospitality for an hour or two, to save me wandering the streets of Lunnun like a wastrel.

Thanks for the luck BB. Hugo is very well, thanks. Chattering away, loving nursery, still as in love as ever with anything that has wheels.

Good work on the blackberries Boff, getting in a last few before thee devyl piffes on them. I've not picked any this year, though there is still the occasional strawb popping up, and the tomatoes are finally coming in to their own.

Hope the milk supply is settling down a little Bebe.

I persisted in wearing jeans with a vest and a t-shirt, even when it was 30C.

I believe I may have access to a central London club where we could have tea and biccies while waiting. If this is the case I can look into it as an option and see if something can be organised. Last time I went there it was crap gastronomically, but very old school posh and geographically convenient. Might be good for a laff.

Ooh, promising, promising!

Hope others can make it. I thought I'd wait and see if the date suited people on here and then post on the FW FB page.
I may well be wandering the streets of Lunnun too, Gui so we could have a swift drink wander together before meeting others. I have never been to such an event and may need Dutch courage.

What is the MSc in, BTW? Glad H is well.

BB, your stamina is just amazing.

DS1 has just read me a story!! A milestone. A repetitive traditional French kids' story, but still...

x-posted with Boff. Tea and biccies in London club sounds good...

Ooh, a secret liaison in an exclusive club! Best wear other than ripped jeans and trainers then! Can live with gastronomically crap as long as there is some tea to drink and people to watch.

I have no idea what to wear for the course anyway. I am a Mature Student for the first time, I believe (though what exactly does that mean?). There will be doctor-types and other healthcare-y people (the MSc is in Quality and Safety in Healthcare, Auld - just a part-time thing). Should I start off smart, just in case, or go straight for student grunge?

I too have never been to such an event. I have very briefly pondered the Big Xmas Meet-up, but would definitely not have the nerve. It would be like going to a party with a load of celebs.

Lovely DS1, reading you a story! H reads stories to Gladly Bear. They all start 'One sunny morning..', then ramble off merrily in all manner of directions. It is very sweet.

Black trousers and a coloured top usually does the job Gui.

Slebs my

Oh, quality and safety in healthcare. I had to mug up on that for my consultant interview. Was very interesting but a tad dry- I have a friend who makes a career out of it. Very important and topical stuff though.

I don't often wish I lived closer to London but am jealous of your meetup .

Zulu, we'll have a Scots meet up soon, dinnae fret! With, erm, you and me and Conker. Quality, not quantity .

Have sent messages to Bicnod and Vezzie to see if the 18th suits them. Would you be able to make it then, Puzzle as I intend to torture you until you reveal the story behind the Machine?

I know it's ages away but I'm in Scotland next June for a week at a friends wedding / mini holiday thing based in Edinburgh but able to travel round fairly easily!!

Ah GUI another wheelaholic! K lays on the floor and just watches them go round as he zooms the car (when he's not trying to chew the buggers off!!!)

Yay I'll ask nutts when she comes for dinner Thursday and can drop springy a text too xx

Just a flying visit as I should be working; 18th sounds good to me.

Good! Looking hopeful for the 18th, then.
We could shift over to FB and try and find an appropriate venue.
Am quite excited about this!

I am in the process of potentially scuppering this as DS1 is getting confirmed that weekend ... watch this space.

I have done a FB event.

Or even created a FB event. 'Done' makes it sound like I did some kind of circus performance. Blame it on a small boy saying 'no scuter Mummy, no scuter'.

Gah.

Would the previous Sat work (12th) for others?

No, no brakes. ALL AHEAD FULL!

12th doesn't work for Boff, either.

Hmm...

The 18th isn't a definite no for Boff though is it?

Don't plan around me - I am too busy really both weekends.

Hey ladies

Sorry to post asking a question and not catching up but Ayse-Rose has a small umbilical hernia (always has) but getting her changed tonight I noticed her belly button was bleeding and weeping quite a bit. Is this normal? Have cleaned it up and phoned NHS direct - they are calling me back but wanted to pick your brains as to whether it's something I should worry about and go and get checked out. Dx

It sounds like a minor infection or something. If it was me I would leave it overnight, unless the bleeding was unstoppable, and see the GP first thing. Of course if you think the bleeding is getting worse, then go to A and E.

Blimey boff, you should work for the helpline. That's exactly what they said but took them an hour to call me back and tell me! Thanks - bleeding has stopped just looks sore now so going to keep an eye on it and call dr first thing. X
