HI

Hope you feel better soon x

Hey there FM!!

DM - how come you had to have a sickness review? Have i missed something? May well have done

Feeling knackered at the mo but possibly down to being stressed at work. At least i have a replacement now, so thats one less thing on my stress list. Almost 31weeks - have put on 1st and in case you are wondering how big that makes me..... i measure 9 sheets of bog roll

Take a peek at my profile - have had a mural painted in the nursery..... what do you think?

HI
Lockets good to see you. hope your all keeping well.

AM,FM&TTM, i don't find out the outcome of my review yet although should do in next couple of days. And finally got my £50 debenhams Vouchers from work, for my length of service award, which i will spend on my gown for the summer ball.

Can't believe in 30 days Darcie will be 2 is going to fast, her speech is very clear and reading is great. she's got into one of our local pre schools for sept, which is great as she's not 2yrs 9mths till dec.
We are all good down here.

Meet up i can't make Sat June 16th as day of summer Ball.
Hope we can sort another date out tho.

hi! i'm a bit more than a bag of nails now -i had to have week off sick (more fun and games when i go back?!). went to docs yesterday cos i really struggled at work tuesday. went on nebuliser and am now on 6 horrible tasting little steroid tablets perd ay for a week, and have had to up inhaler to 4x daily instead of 2ce. lovely. should get better soon tho. sent fran off to cm today (cm had sent her daughter to pick her up for me so i didn't have to go out), fran didn't want to go - she was concerned about me so refused to wave at me when she was in the car, just gave me a look

lockets - nice to hear from you again x

am - the mural looks gorgeous! x

Darciesmum · 03/03/2007 21:20

FM-hope you get better soon, mum's on steroids for her chest at the moment.

Am looking forward to the meet up

fransmom · 03/03/2007 21:53

thanx dm just wish i could stop coughing!

dd now poorly, she has ear infection and tonsilitis. poor lass, she hasn't been well for nearly a month now.

Darciesmum · 04/03/2007 11:11

FM-Hope fran gets over that soon i had tonsillitus alot and wouldn't wish it on anyone, so finally had mine out when i was 20. if darcie ever gets it i want her on the list to have em out!

fransmom · 04/03/2007 14:12

same here! i had mine out when i was 20 too! and do you know what they gave me in hospital? bloody toast and soggy cornflakes.
i was looking forwards to that ice cream and i didn't even get any!!! ice cream that is.

hows you all keeping?

Darciesmum · 04/03/2007 21:50

I think i ate one half of toast and had lots of icecream after, but i was in a private hospital so care was different to NHS one

fransmom · 05/03/2007 14:53

i had some ice cream the other day - coughing a lot had hurt my throat - i'd been really looking forwards to this ice cream all day and you know what? it didn't work!!!!!! i'd have been better off eating toast

hows you and yours?

Darciesmum · 09/03/2007 21:05

hello! fm lot better now thanx, still has bit of a cough tho it's gettting better. i back to work next week, the sick note runs out mon nite feels ages since i was last there

fran has one of those things that are similar to etch a sketches we're tesching her name as well and writing mommy and daddy. she coming out with loads of things -that churchill insurance advert was on the other day - the one with the bulldog - and she goes ah yes! rofl it was so sweet

am hows you? and everyone else?

Need your opinions to girls on dresses for my works summer ball ( is Limo & Champers affair)

heres 2 i've seen so far

dress 1

dress 2

Darciesmum · 11/03/2007 09:05

dress2

fransmom · 11/03/2007 21:29

you dyed your hair! wow! you look so different! fm speechless for once

well nearly because last time i looked at profiles you had dark hair so was going to say maybe you should go for a deep red version of the first one but the cream one looks lovely as is

fransmom · 11/03/2007 21:34

haven't actually contacted them yet, miss. fm hangs head and shuffles feet (sheepish )

last day off sick on monday so will have to get off my backside and phone the local one and try and arrange something like a visit.

just also wanted to say you all know the probs i've had with pnd and stuff going on, well these past couple of days i've been forced to relax (mainly cos any effort on my part left me shattered and out of breath!) so i feel a lot happier and back to "normal" but an enriched normal (if that makes sense). before i had fran i felt empty somehow and now i feel fulfilled

aprilmeadow · 12/03/2007 08:24

Hi ladies,

FM - glad to see you are feeling better. Hope you enjoy your last day off.

DM - wow, cool hair colour! I love both the dresses, however i think dress 2 has the edge for me

Dh been painting again this weekend. Did Jack's bedroom and moved it all around. Looks really beautiful in pale blue and cream and looks twice the size!

Bubs is growing nicely thank you. 32+4 today. Think she is running out of space as her movements are more squirmy than kicky.

Darciesmum · 12/03/2007 08:50

Hey Girls

FM-so happy to hear your feeling better
AM-not long till baby girl makes her appearance.

I'll be changing my hair colour again, i'm going blonde on friday!!!
Will Post a picture for your opinions!

fransmom · 12/03/2007 22:57

at dm

ladies thank you. on the whole, i did enjoy my last day off. i had a docs appt at the local surgery's base in town (if that makes sense) and then took fran into town to get something to eat as it was lunchtime. tried to get her to agree to jacket potato as it is substantial for dinner but she wanted cheese on toast did she eat it? did she heck she didn't like the rubbery cheese when it cooled down enough for her to eat it! i have wanted to knit her a scarf for ages so finally got the wool today. she picked out this gorgeous pink colour - a proper baby pink not a hard candy coloured one - and a lovely lilac one as well. the only trouble is the needles i bought a few days ago for said task are far too big

didn't get back til late so haven't contacted the nursery (so sorry, it's pre-school now isn't it?! i'm showing my age up now)

fransmom · 12/03/2007 22:58

am i'm glad you ok and jack's bedroom sounds really lovely
