Argh blasphemy! Jarred obviously not hated!Grin

Four4me · 19/03/2012 10:00

Go ledkr go ledkr have just glanced through that ridiculous bf thread, some people are just dickheads. She needs to look at the thread about 22 small white coffins arriving in Belguim. Sad Sad

Four4me · 19/03/2012 10:02

Yeah blizy about positive ov test, bonk bonk bonk Grin x

Grannyapple · 19/03/2012 16:35

Yeah blizy...fingers, legs & everything crossed for you! I'm just on my way back to Kent from central London now Grin.

Have to say dh was really good yesterday...got Nate up so I could have a bit of a lie in, went for a run, we went out for brekkie (he paid Smile), took Nate for a wee walk in his trike round the park, then dh made dinner. Think he's feeling it a bit today tho, N woke 3 friggin times last night (one for each tooth coming through I think!).

MizK · 19/03/2012 17:34

ello all, just had mammoth catch up to see what y'all have been up to.
ledkr your cheltenham antics sounded amaze. Please lets all the Feb ladies go next year (maybe stay in a hotel tho :) ) can you imagine?
blizy yay to positive ov test, really hoping for you - oooh can you imagine when it happens the poor baby will have several obsessed MN aunties!
granny Sorry N had a bad night, teeth are an utter b*stard.
*wiggles/ledkr/reastie/any Homeland fans - I think loveable beardy Saul might be the dodgy one? maybe? And euw to Carrie turning up at the meeting, they'll be getting nekkid together any minute now, mark my words.
Hi hi hi to everyone else, have to run as have left Cass playing with older DCs - who are in DISGRACE and have been made to miss tennis tonight - they seem unable to spend time together without attempting to tear one another limb from limb atm, sooo annoying!

ledkr · 19/03/2012 18:05

blizy thats marvelous

Actually mizk has a point.How about a mammoth trip to Chelt races next year.Would be so funny. Get orf and Dolly will come too.

Dilly has a mild cold but is proper moany.She is walking more and more now its so funny seeing her trotting along all over the house,she is still dead wobbly though and wlkes with hands up in the air.
She woke at flaming 4.45 but went back to sleep on my neck in my bed,it wasnt very comfortable so i didnt get back to sleep.
Dh became my personal trainer today and we walked fast for miles,it was quite nice. Ive been doing the sw again but unfortunately there are still some mothers day chocs with my name on Sad

blizy · 19/03/2012 18:33

I hope it stays a mild cold ledkr. Well done with the personal trainer, you know you can have some great exercise between the sheets Wink. I have been stuck in the house all bloody day - stupid rain!

I have just made some bannana muffins for the after schoolies snack tomorrow, little darlings better appreciate it! I had some bother with them last week, (wiggles The 2 I was telling you about) one of them wiped their shitty arse on the towel instead of loo roll. I had a lovely surprise when i reached to dry my hands [boke]!

Ohhhh I had a letter from the taxman today, I am getting a rebate £1200 Vegas here we come! We are booking up to go on honeymoon in May Grin.

Hope you all had a lovely day. reatie I love the video of Alice - very clever!

wigglesrock · 19/03/2012 19:48

blizy right pet, your luck is definitely in Grin What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas Wink, well apart from us, we must know everything!!

MizK I'm a bit fishy about Brodys wife, I want to like her but I think she's a tad dodgy, of course I'm shite at predicting stuff Grin

Mr W off to US on Thu, and back to work last week, so am finally getting my groove back Grin, I swear that man kept me back for the past 8 weeks, I got more done in 30 mins after work today than I had in months, just distracted Anna with some lasagne and that kept her busy for about 10 mins. She gets her MMR etc in the morning [eek]

ILovePonyo · 19/03/2012 19:51

Yay blizy you deserve that tax rebate! How exciting - hurry up May bet you cant wait. Oh and Grin at Four4 with her bonk bonk bonk Wink Cant believe about shitty towel incident, that is grim, bleurgh.

ledkr grr to Dils early waking. I also read that thread and think you were fab, then I read the spooky things that happen thread that you started and thought you were horrible b'cos it scared the shite out of me and I was home alone Grin

granny your mothers day sounds nice. How many teeth has N got now? Hope tonight is better for you all!

reastie glad you got a card but think he could at least be a bit nice and say Happy Mothers Day. My dp is a bit of a grump about stuff like that, it doesn't bother me with Valentines day and we don't do xmas cards for example, but if its something that is important to me (like M's day) he makes a little effort even if he doesn't agree with it. Argh does that big ramble make sense?! Blush

MizK oh no to your older 2, hope the punishment works!

Well I held a 5 day old baby today awwww My old boss at work brought her ds in and we all had a hold, v v cute but didn't make me broody. Can't believe she brought him in at 5 days old, nothing wrong with that but I was a hormonal mess!

Deliaskis · 19/03/2012 20:02

Hi ladies,

Just come on to say hi, and bye, sort of. Started new job today, and although that in itself is good Grin, the bad news is that I am in an open plan office with a screen that faces lots of people Sad , so won't have much opportunity to come on mn in the forseeable.

Don't want to go completely over the top in case I do actually get to sneak on, but didn't want to just disappear without saying thanks to you all, for everything, for the support when I was having a tough time, to the laughs, to the sympathetic ear, to the non-judginess etc. You're all just luvverly. And if I don't get to come back on much, I will still think about you lots.

Before I disappear, thought you might be pleased (or possibly disappointed) to know that I carried myself with lots of decorum and didn't spill a drop of champagne on Prince Charles Wink.

Lots of love and best wishes to you all.

Dx

PS Am also Blush as I'm going to look a bit stupid if I do get chance to mn.

wigglesrock · 19/03/2012 20:11

deliaskis Thanks for being such fun over the past 18 months or so, hope job goes well and you get to sneak on sometimes Grin Hope you and C have lots of fab times together and you know you need to lurk the odd time to see what mischief ledkr is up to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

tadjennyp · 19/03/2012 20:12

Was thinking of you last night Delia and hoping you had a great first day at work! Best of luck to you. We'll miss you but hope you get chance to come and chat occasionally xxx

debka · 19/03/2012 20:19

delia don't you dare abandon us, we will miss you i'll be stalkering you on FB anyway so you can't escape hahahahahaha Grin

blizy · 19/03/2012 20:50

Noooo delia don't leave us! Seriously though, I will miss you on here. Thank you for all of your support with Zoe, I will never forget it.

I hope you do get a chance to pop on from time to time. Thanks and hugs.

Four4me · 19/03/2012 21:00

Ar Delia pleeeeease come back. Glad you have started your new job and your date with Charlie went well. Grin

ledkr · 19/03/2012 21:04

delias Do you not have a home pc then woman? Poor excuse the work one old chum and as wiggs says you need to see if i do eventually grow up Grin

oh THE APPRENTICE IS BACK on Wednesday arrrrgh.

Does anyone ever get achey hips?Mine are really playing me up at the moment it must be my age. Grin

blizy great re the dosh not so great re the shitty towel

Im kind of hoping you wont have such a good honeymoon cos you will be suffering morning sickness. Cant wait for the day you tell us you are pg.

RobinSparkles · 19/03/2012 21:16

Delia, you need an iPhone then you can MN wherever you are! Hope you don't disappear completely Sad come back soon!

Ps. Hope you like your job!

Blizy, I have all of my fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed for a BFP!

I haven't read any of ledkr's racing antics yet, I shall have to have a read!

Ledkr, DD1 used to walk with her arms in the air when she first started walking too! So cute :o I love it when they look like they have bricks attached to their feet.

We're in the middle of decorating ATM, so I might not be on so much in the next few days. I hate decorating but every room is screaming out for a make over!

Deliaskis · 19/03/2012 21:23

I dooooo have a home pc Ledkr but it's the one that naughty DH steals for work quite/very often, so I am frequently pooterless.

Robin I have been thinking about getting some kind of new fangled modern phone thing just for mning, but TBH am too fick and am scared it will cost me about a million pounds a month or something.

Anyway, I lurve you all vair vair much, and will dream about you and continue to stalk you on fb and everyfink.

Dx

reastie · 19/03/2012 21:34

delia you know you can change the appearance of mn to a work mode so it looks all important and educational so no one can tell you're actually on mn at work?

blizy hurrah for the positive, I'm waving those pom poms and hope this month is yours (no pressure though Grin ). Yeah for Las Vegas - have a bet on me Grin

robin we are getting a new carpet for the dining room playroom - I'm feeling the pressure as DH has given me free rein of choice - I'm useless at decisions Confused . But, I've found some vintage German fairy story posters I'm tempted to get for the walls to make it more child looking. Either that or a big poster of a world map never too young to start educating Grin What colour scheme are you plumping for?

Am v v tired so sorry for not replying to more - the reastie household have all been struck with colds, as have my parents, all of which have originated from alice

k2togm1 · 19/03/2012 21:34

Oh blizy yay! Vegas with ms is got a be fun Wink!!!!

Delia really good luck in your new job!

Right, sorry i am so bad at keeping up...I'm off to try and find those threads of ledkr's that you are all talking about...

(actually, i should be off to do some very detailed lesson planning for my observation on Friday...)

tadjennyp · 19/03/2012 21:40

Haha, you are so not fick delia! MN is a bit of a time-thief though...

Fingers x'd for a BFP v soon and a fab Vegas honeymoon.

My hips are v sore ledkr. I wrenched my groin slipping on ice while heavily pregnant with S, it was agony during labour and found it really hurt yesterday while I was lucky enough to go skiing. I sympathise. Looked for that thread you had commented on, but couldn't find it!

Sending lots of sleepy vibes for the babies.

ILovePonyo · 19/03/2012 21:51

WHAT you can make mn look all work-like?! reastie I did not know that.

delia aw please don't leave properly, we will all miss you! Just have a lurk and I'm sure you'll get a little time on the pooter every few months Wink I have an iphone and I lurve it, its not expensive and quite easy to use you know Grin

RobinSparkles · 19/03/2012 22:31

D, I'm very fick and technophobe. I have a tendency to break computers which is why I don't use one (hence the iPhone posting) :o if I can use a phone anyone can. An iPhone is really easy to use, I love mine!

Reastie, the fairy theme sounds gorgeous. We're doing the living room and hallway Mellow Mocha Hmm which is like a very pale, well I was going to say pale coffee but it looks more of a cream (the landing and the living room blend into each other as the stairs go into our living room). Our bedroom is going to be Dusted Fondant Wink which is like a pale, dusky (?) pink. The colours look nice so I hope they'll be alright. The DD's room needs doing too and all the woodwork DD1 said she wants purple but we'll see. I might let her have a pale lilac but not proper purple! I think she's going to be a goth when she's a teenager :o

reastie · 20/03/2012 09:49

Morning all,

Yes ponyo on the mn talk page (it's prob all of them but I did it from the 'threads I'm on' pg) click on customize and you can change it there. It's still got the logo on the top though and the emoticons, but looks far more work worthy in general Grin see delia there's no excuse - YOU CAN'T ESCAPE US!

Well, I'm hiding in my room as mil has turned up 20 minutes early to look after alice - her usual is half an hour early Shock . I don't want to feel pushed out of my own house and want this time to mn clean and tidy the house so I usually just faff about upstairs.

I've spotted a lovely dresser on ebay I really want to buy for our dining room but not sure how much dh will let me to bid max. I went into a shabby chic type furniture shop yesterday in a naice part of town and saw a nice dresser and asked what the best price was would they take a discount and they virtually escorted me from their property Blush I have no shame

robin your house sounds very industrious at the minute. Our house is pretty much all desperate to be decorated - my parents haven't done some of the rooms for over 20 years Shock

knitta good luck for lesson obs. I hate being observed, get all sweaty palms and nervous.

Right, better be off to work. Have a good day all (esp blizy with those banana muffins - mmmmmmm)

RobinSparkles · 20/03/2012 11:12

I have just caught up and read Ledkr's antics at the races :o :o :o

Can I just ask? What kind of a noise does a peacock make? Confused Blush
