Dec 08 mums - any more for any more?

[JumpJockey]

New thread! Hope this is ok :)

I love hearing stories of your boys vag. You are giving them a wonderful childhood. They will have do many lovely memories.

Yes very relieved thanks ladies. And surprised at quick offer. Havent got it in writing yet so Mrs county council better have her facts correct! Big glass of red as I type Vag. Dh working again as he has been for ever but study leave at mo and literally I'm depositing meals in the office again!
Crikey beans that's food inhalation. Glad you enjoyed it. You're dinner parties sound beyond fab. If you ever visit me, I'm ordering takeaway unless you cook
Spot, that makes more sense. Hmm there might be something in all the school talk.
On the job. Congrats! I was kind of wondering if it could lead to something better, and the routine stability thing might be good, as would the people you would meet. I'd be tempted to say it couldn't be bad to give it a try and See how it goes. But I'm hardly the expert on this as I've only worked in my type job etc.

Kayz I'm the queen of sinusitis. Let me tell you. I really hope yours both don't carry on like mine did. It's horrendous. Not to mention the eye infections that follow. GP actually told me I'm getting bugs / sick more often because I'm working less now and not building immunity as much. Flu shot for me next year and that's a big statement from one terrified of needles. Thats crap why can't GP see you even for 6 mins? So many people just don't show up for appts. Even crappier that you can't mask it with drugs. Steaming even with something like Olbas oil works wonders though. Have lots of hot baths / showers. Happy birthday for tomorrow! Hope you feel better.

Waaaah, 128 messages already and I haven't even read most of them properly! (That will be my treat in bed). More soon but so chuffed about the school news, Rubes.

I was in Sheffield for the weekend and last week was just generally nutty. More anon.

Happy birthday to you, dear Kayz! How old are you now? Have a fab day.

Many thanks to all who have sponsored me. Much appreciated.

DH is being a grumpy sod again. Why can't he just be cheery, or at least normal?

Happy Birthday Kayz.

Sybs ignore him that's what I do when DH is in a strop.

Preg ladies I have forgotten what everything is meant to feel like. But in the early early days that sort of period heavy tummy feeling is fairly normal isn't it?? I think I remember it happening with DS1 but not 2. Am I being bonkers? I do hate the uncertainty period of time. Gah!

Arti that sound like such a lovely wkend.

Indith how's the study going?

Vag I cannot believe you procrastinate.

Dieds how is dude boy?

Jam, with all my pregnancies I felt as though my period might start at any minute. I think it's normal. Take care and take it easy.

Cheers sybs. It feels like so long ago I cant remember how anything is meant to feel like. As DH said at the weekend let the lunacy begin.

Happy birthday Kayz, how are the sinuses?

Jam I had that 'pre period' feeling for both my pg. So much with DS that I never thought for a second I was pg. Speaking of Dudesboy he is back at pre school today, currently full of good intentions but we will see what happens. I don't hold out much hope and feel sick. I will feel like this from now till I pick him up

Oh and sybs my DH is permenamtly grumpy. In fact he has turned into a real old man...I must also fill you in on his sisters wedding, which is a major source of his grumpiness! However it'll have to be later school/work calls

Happy Birthday Kayz. I hope you are being spoilt today.

Jam - I would say that period pains were my MAIN early pregnancy symptom every time. I constantly ended up going to the loo convinced I would find my period had begun. Sometimes the pains were so bad I had to sit down. How many weeks are you now?

Good luck to the Dudesboy for today.

and good luck on assignment two Veggie. What is your title this time?

Does anyone know where I can get nice garden furniture? I want a really lovely deck chair and maybe a hammock on a stand. I intend to spend the summer lounging in the garden!

Deids, positive thoughts that you hear good things about ds's day! Is the hens night this weekend then?

Jam I can vaguely remember similar gnawing dragging period type pain. [shudders] I'm sure it's normal!

Arti. We got our outdoor table / chairs / parasol from Casa Bella furniture through eBay. It's nice quality teak. Although dh put the parasol up about 4 weeks ago and it was a tad too early as got damaged in following days gale force winds. So he has some fixing to do to it and will aldo need re sanding and ill oil it again this year. I'm keen on getting a couple of sun loungers too, but may end up getting them elsewhere as I want the little pull out shelf on the side for my bubbly of course, and they don't seem to do that version if / when we do an extension, of / when we buy the house, it involves a deck off the master bedroom and a sun deck to one side. Essential item if outdoor furniture i say.

Thanks all, had a MMC inbetween 1 & 2 guess I am just overly worried it will happen again.

Dieds how did DS get on today?

Glorious weather. Had another garden picnic then went to the park. Ds is a speed demon on his bike now and dd on scooter and myself on foot cannot keep up. He got a telling off for going way too far ahead of us but got the message and I'm very proud of his skills after the long Winter and no practise.
No letter to confirm ds school offer so quietly shitting myself. Hopefully tmrw.
How's T Spot? And how did ds go Deids?

It will come tom Rubes.

Hello all thanks for asking after dudesboy.......I can report he's had a good day. Although I think the pressure to behave has exhausted him, he can barely keep his eyes open! Lets hope he can make if through the week with minimal problems.

Yes Hen night this Saturday. I'll be in Chester by lunch on Saturday and then home Sunday late on. Given DS behaviour I think it will be good for me to get away from him a bit , so I can get back and appreciate him. If that makes any sense at all.

Rubes the letter will be on its way. Just because they say its going in the post doesn't always mean it physically goes to a post box. It may well be sat in someone's tray ready to post. Well that's what I tend to do at work anyway Don't fret

Thanks jam. I'm hopeless so called them again. Another person said same. Phew.

I am sunburnt!

Crossed with u Deids. So glad ds had a good day.
Oh good that's prob what she meant by "posted out today"!
Yes time apart good for both of you to appreciate. X

Excellent well done dudes boy

Good for dudesboy!

And happy birthday Kayz: I hope you've had a beautiful sunny day. I've been stuck in meetings all day so not able to appreciate it, but it's nice seeing the sun even from a distance!

Boys have been introduced to the Muppets via DVD - they are very keen. Phew. Fraggle Rock tomorrow. Am determined to lead them in the ways of righteousness (and obtrusive an antidote to endless Spider-Man).

Introduce not obtrusive!

Happy Birthday, Kayz! How are the sinuses? Did you take them to the GP? Hope you had a nice day despite them.

We haven't had a repeat of the nightmares, thanks for asking Rubes. He's def overtired at the mo, waking up v early thanks to the bloody avian orchestra outside the window. But putting him to bed early too.

Good work on the good day, Dudesboy!

DP in middle of doing his first paid photo shoot. It's just pocket money really as it's a favour for a friend of a friend, but a good start, nonetheless, as so much in this game seems to be about word of mouth and he is v good.

Effie, do you think they are only just ready for the Muppets? Or would they have been ready, say, two years ago?

Spot, just don't show them the Muppets do Bohemian Rhapsody on Youtube, like I did, big mistake!

Happy birthday, Kayz! I hope the sinusitis is getting better and that you managed to have a good day.

oh god mine adore Muppets on you tube. whenever they see the laptop it is can we gave the popcorn sing mummy? oh the popper de corn. over and over and over again. floor covered in text books, was making progress on my anatomy and physiology but snotty poorly baby woke up and dh is working. rubbish catch up as I'm on phone. work load is evil, very, very intense with no time to pause for breath. not long til first placement now.

Spot: give it a go. Also Fraggles. I reckoned I could always watch the DVDs myself once they had gone to bed. The Muppet Show Cast Album was one of the few musical things my roommate and I could agree on when we shared a room at uni a long long time ago. I seem to remember that I was listening to New Model Army and she was singing in a barber shop group, but we bonded over the Muppets .
