July 2010: now they're all 1, some me-time has begun [huge feck-off sarcasm emoticon]

[CakeandRoses]

am bf A and telling F off and have still come to the rescue.

[Chulita]

trudyla yep, skin and all, just peel it when you or little one needs a snack. They go a bit black and yeuch-looking, (in fact very black) but the inside's fine. You can't defrost them and use them though, once they're frozen they've got to be eaten frozen or they turn into soggy mush!

Glad your dh is back memphis, you must have been worried sick. well done for making him eat your roast I'm jealous actually, been craving a pork roast for weeks but if I cook it I won't be able to stomach it!

S loves the little doll we have, L has never liked it, to the point of shoving it to the bottom of the box and crying when I found it. S however carries it around lovingly and talks to it. DH was most perturbed when I told him

I've just had a 2.5 hour nap...bliss, unfortunately so did L so no bedtime for her tonight.

[memphis83]

chulita mine was lovely I did it in a giant yorkshire, dh's pork looks like leather and it took him ages to chew it but it serves him right it was ready when he went out but he said he would eat it when he returned!

[Chulita]

[Needle]

chulita i've just started getting sick since about week 12 and its horrible. We've lived on soup.

We're short staffed today, so instead of visiting my friend and her baby and getting on with making my dress for Saturday, i've had to squeeze myself into a bloody frock and wait tables. Not happy at all.

[viksam]

Mmmmmmmmm to the giant Yorkshire and mmmmmmmm to the long nap! Gggrrrrrr to me being stuck at work when I want to be with my boy! :-(

[MelissaM]

memph glad dh got home ok.

Will try that with bananas too as I bought a bowl for a,quid last week and there's loads of them! I made 2 banana loaves earlier :)

[MalibuStac]

Evening ladies

Had r in at nursery for enrolment today. It used to J's nursery so know loads of the staff. Anyway after hearing all your prices for nursery I was bricking it. But as I'm a student it only costs me £18 per week for 5 afternoons, its fantastic. I haven't put her in through the holidays as I'm off anyway but will have the chance of a full time place when am looking for work. We got to take her into the baby room so she could meet her teacher and the other kids which was great as she used to be J's .

Sorry this is all me, ¥e,me but I am so happy things are going right for a change.

memphis glad dh is ok. How's his friend?

mlic not a nice situation. I assume your not bothered. Good news about your gp's.

melissa how's L's ears?

kk how's things with you?

chulita hope you get a sleep and L's tired out too.

viksam how you ? Are you going to brum for a break?

trudy how's M been? What date in october are you due?

needles you poor thing having to fill in, did you have a busy day? What's the dress for on saturday?

cakes how's your day been?

hg did you say you moved?

[Needle]

Ok. I'm so stupid. I know none of you are seamstresses, but i've been such a moron- i've spent hours cutting out this dress, only to realise that i've cut half of it upside down. The left half in fact, so on one side the print goes one way and on the other side all the little pears on the fabric are upside-down. Someone slap me please.

[viksam]

I love u stac u always ask about everyone else and only write a few lines about urself. £18 a week!! Wow, thats amazing! Great that u know everyone too.
Im ok, just struggling at work really. D decided to be unsettled from around 5 this morning, we got up just after 6, so its been a long day! We went in the newly slabbed garden when we got home and he fell over and smacked his head on a big pebble so has a lovely grazed bruise on his eyebrow now.
Hiya Needles, how are u feeling? Have u had any sickness/uber tiredness etc? I take it u had ur 12 week scan?
Hi HG, good to see u back.
Bed!! Long day tomorrow.....boo!

[Woodlands]

oh what a nightmare needle! grr.

viksam I agree about stac. and yes, £18 for nursery is brilliant!

poor d's head. Not looking forward to J walking, hearing about all these bumps - at least from crawling he doesn't have as far to fall!

[kkfairybrains]

Oh vik poor D!
Stac all is good with me thanks! Thats fab news that everything is going so well i'm really really thrilled for you!
Needle what you going to do :(. Can you wait and get more fabric tomorrow?
Definately an awkward moment mlic!

[Needle]

Hi viksam, yes 12 week scan was fine thanks, I'm meeting my homebirth midwife next week too. How are you doing?

Congratters about your course btw stac, what are you going to study?

Had enough fabric left to rescue the dress, but I'm so fed up about it. I was going to use the leftovers to make a dress for g.

[MalibuStac]

Aww thanks viks love you too. Hope D let's you get a good nights sleep.

[MalibuStac]

needle would it be very noticible if you use it? I'm doing a HND in support and learning management. Its learning how to manage services within social care but kind of focusing on learning disabilities.

woods I forgot how tiring a walking child is J won't be long.

viks forgot to mention Ds head hope he's ok.

kk glad your all good. How was the music festival?

[kkfairybrains]

Would you be able to use the material that you done wrong to make G's dress needle?
It was absolutely brilliant stac. I love irish music anyway so it was just lovely! had E in at a lot of it and a couple of nights out too!

[Needle]

KK, unfortunately not, I had enough leftovers originally, but I've had to use them. I'll be able to something with the cuttings, dolls clothes maybe.

[WhatSheSaid]

I always think that about stac too, she always asks after everyone, it's quite funny to read a post saying "Sorry it's all about me me me"!

[MelissaM]

stac thanks for asking. I'll let you know in the morning. He's v snotty again so think we're heading for another round. Typical with the festival. Well done on the course too - how exciting :)

needle oh no what a pain. Glad you've managed to rescue it though. Still a shame you can't now make something for G.

kk glad u enjoyed the Irish music festival

vik its so much worse when they're unsettled and you've to get up for work too isn't it? :( hope you have a better night and that D's head is ok

mlic sounds like its going to be an interesting party tomorrow :o

wss you ok?

[MelissaM]

trud sorry you are still having a hard time. Hope you are ok.

cake you are quiet ... you ok? busy with transition back to work no doubt.

[WhatSheSaid]

Yep all ok here, dh went to a work do yesterday and came home a bit pissed, no probs, then he woke up at 2 and was pissing around for about an hour going to the toilet and going for drinks of water and cigarettes...so that woke me up. Then G woke at 4.30, who knows why (and wouldn't go back to sleep).

And I'm trying to give my house a massive clean as it's a mess and A is wheeling herself round in a doll's pram saying "My legs don't work very well...I need a wheelchair...", I have no idea where she got that from...

[Needle]

Hit another snag: I have 4 sewing machines. Not one of them works properly. I'm clearly not meant to go to this party.

wss how odd! I wonder if she saw something on telly that gave her the idea?

stac your course sounds fascinating, how exciting for you!

[MalibuStac]

[Blush] I have times when I write that I think I've just went on about me or forgot to ask about someone.

melissa poor L and you, any idea when his op will be?

wss I need to do a massive clear out for starting college as I will be out all day so want to be on top of it all. Did you kick dh's ass for being noisy?

needles that's a bugger, is there another dress you have you could alter or accessorise for the party?

kk that sounds fab, irish music is brilliant. Bet E had a ball.

Well I'm still wide awake as R has a very bark like cough so keeps waking up. She's had the cold for a couple of days and I'm hoping it doesn't turn into tonsilitus again. Dp was plagued by it when he was younger and I still get it. Suppose I better try and sleep. Night all
