December 2011: The one where DSM gets married...

[LittleMissFlustered]

:o

Ooh ooh ooh and I'm going to be an Auntie again DBIL and DSIL are expecting their third! Still very early days but I'm already mentally sorting Freya's stuff to dump on them donate

Thanks northern, don't worry, a G&T will happen at some point soon, I use slimline tonic anyway so it's hardly anything calorie wise. I leep telling myself I will stop the fitnesspal thing but it's quite reassuring seeing the food diary in black and white (and blue).....

misree, it's funny giving stuff away, people first look incredulous that you're just giving them things, then there's a slight air of panic when they realise HOW MUCH stuff you are piling onto them, and sometimes the next lot of donation is followed by a small whimper (which is where if you're kind you find someone else to give to!) I know you are just expecting the one, but there's always the possibility of unexpected extra Easter presents so be careful!

DS seems to have settled in very well at the CMs (phew!) he had a three hour trial including sleep and lunch, and he drained his bottle and fell asleep on them (yay). Was grinning and shovelling in toast fingers when I picked him up. Made me feel marginally less guilty for abandoning ky offspring once again....

Morning all! Minim slept through again yay! I just finished an article (in French!) yesterday ... Yay! V pleased as I had to do it really fast due to missing a week when minim had tonsillitis. So my efforts were successful. A French friend is just checking the language so hopefully I'll get it sent off before the end of August deadline. Fingers crossed it gets accepted. I'll be gutted if it doesn't after all my work.

Not really been keeping up, will try catch up later, hope you're all doing well!

I want sausages. Sausages are frozen. Woe is very likely.

Pls point coffee hose in my direct lol

Hope went all night in a cloth nappy with gloop on and no leaks yay.

Yeasterday we went to Meadowhell for school shoes and trousers. It was crazy.

Today we are going over to wrexham to see my family who normally wind me up. Dh has stashed chocalate in the car for trip back lol

Air has been pasified with a batman tshirt and a promise of macds breackfast.

Wish me luck :(

Air Good luck.

We have come to Monkey World for the day and weather is lovely. Not to hot & not to cold

DMS can you put photos on fb pls i sooooo want to go to monkey world and pepper pig world. Maybe next year now when Hope is a bit bigger :(

We could do a meet up :)

DSM have a good day

Air Meet up sounds good. Will add pics later not got many tho. Was a good day.

Ladies, apart from Doctors & bank where else do I need to change my surname now I'm married?

Driving license, passport, hmrc for child benefit etc, dentist, mobile bill, other household bills, hmmm darcie's school, erm mortgage company...

So glad your trial went well aethel, that's great news. And a minor for feeling guilty, but I know it's something most of us have/will feel. What's your timings on returning to work- take it you're starting back pretty soon but are you going f-t or p-t?
We've got two trial half days, and then DS's first day will be a half day, all in one go, so it's a little run in for him...all the more important now he'll be having to start on full days.

DS actually vommed on me this evening, an actual, proper one which came out of nowhere and got my skirt . I was very . It's so weird, heaven knows what I'll do if the next one is normal and spews regularly!

DP has his date for his work meeting, 5th September....

Painty painty painty paint....

(I've been part time since 2004, northern, decided that rather than having hassle with hours changes I'd get a part time job first, and then have the children: this worked out pretty well and I went back on same hours after the DCs. Hours have dropped a little since DD1 started school, I'm on two long half- days and a whole day now).

Eeek just got back from my mum and dads and five mins before Chester services Air was sick big time. We had to stop and strip the carseat cover as he weed as well. We had to strip Aaron and put a new pair of dh pants on him with my hairbobble holding them up and dh fleece top on him till we go home

Then we got home and he went in his bed and sparked out still in dh clothes and i dont have the heart to wake him and change him. He was not happy at all :(

Hope was well behaved as normal.

Air Hopefully it was just a one time vom incident.

Chill out day here. Just banking etc that needs to be done.

Our wedding photos are ready so really looking forward to seeing them tonight.

How's he today, air, hope it was just a one off car-chunder?

Painting victory! Walls now white instead of vomit yellow...
Now need to let it dry, pull off masking tape and see how it looks.
Then there's just the whole flipping house to tidy as declutter AGAIN.

But not now. Now is off to buy dD2's birthday pressie and (gulp) off to the FP clinic for coil replacement goodness. V happy for you girls TTC but we're an us-shaped family now!

Aaron seems fine today

im looking at group 3 car seats for him as i think his seat cant be saved :(

Today is a cleaning day as cleaner on holiday and i have a friend staying tomoro.

Also im trying to find the xmas style baby leg warmers i found the other day and now cant find to order them! I want a red cloth nappy and xmas red leg warmers to go with it!

Dh has his appointment letter for the snip im still not sure. My head say no cant afford a 3rd and have no room in house and i have a girl and a boy but there is tgat bit that wants another child so i can name it and see what type of person it would be but these are not good enough reasons to have another.

Im sad but i think its for the best not to have any more children :(

Congrats on Auntie-ness MissRee

Oi, I luff the name Carter! We considered it for a long, long time until I decided I didn't like 'surname names', although I love Carter, Barrett, Sloane (although am from Chelsea so could never use it).

Air, hope Aaron (another name I love) doesn't have another episode!

:( Have you looked into freezing & storing DH's sperm just incase you change your mind?

aethel, have fun with a Dr rummaging in your bits! Does having a coil fitted hurt?

DSM, if you're waiting until passport/drivers licence experies to change name don't change your name on amazon/paypal etc....can sometimes get an arsey Parcel Depot person who wants photo ID

What's everyone upto this weekend?

Air Bounty have got some car seats in their flash sale this weekend. Dunno enough about them to know if they're good or not These are £49.95 at the moment.

Thank you we will have a look :)

Gads it's lunchtime and DS has had 4 poo nappies already today .......not cool!!

Been to softplay this morning god I need a lie down to recover in a dark room.

So... what eye colour did your baby end up with (as we are approaching 9 months)? DD2's currently got sludge blue which I know will change into hazel soon like DD1s...
