Marking place!

JamInMyWellies · 17/09/2013 20:16

Marking my spot for mini beans news.

Thanks for the new thread dieds.

Vagolajahooli · 17/09/2013 20:24

Love the title Deids.

Well I've forgiven my two. They were pretty good the rest of the day and did really well with their respective instruments at violin/blokfluit (the dutch word for recorder sounds more interesting). I do adore them and while it was a poo that they had these days off school in the week my assignment is due it's been nice having them home for extra time.

I wonder how Beans is getting on.

beans37 · 17/09/2013 20:35

I'm not, Vag. I'm bored of myself.

Our last thread started on my birthday and finished on Sybs's!

Vagolajahooli · 17/09/2013 20:42

Oh poor you Beans, what's going on?

That's spooky about the birthdays

JumpJockey · 17/09/2013 20:44

Hello new thread!
Come on Beansbaby!

Vagolajahooli · 17/09/2013 20:49

Ooo babybean will be the next birthday woot woot

Honsandrevels · 17/09/2013 21:25

Happy birthday Sybs! Hope you are having a lovely day.

Any progress Beans? Have they induced you?

I do like Bake off, such a cosy view.

sybilfaulty · 17/09/2013 21:26

Thank you for all the birthday wishes.

So sorry things are dragging for you beans. I am sure tomorrow will be your day. Much love x

ShadyLadyT · 17/09/2013 23:10

What did you do to celebrate, Sybs? I hope you had some treats.

I'm in bed and shattered - was nodding off on the sofa at 9.45 - I never do that. But wanted to check in to the new thread (thanks DB). Beans - sorry today was a bit of a damp squib. Really hoping all goes well, I'm glad Indith has been able to offer some advice. How are you finding the study, Indith? And how long have you had your coal burner on? Ours went on tonight - I've been soooo cold.

Arti, how is the au pair doing? Are you finding it ok? Do you think it will all work out?

Hons, did you say it's your birthday on Thurs? Perhaps you will share it with a Beanlet.

Vag, that was naughty about the Lego but I'm glad you've forgiven them Grin

Sweet dreams all.

Hope you don't mind me popping my head round the door to say hi, but I just caught this in active threads. I used to post as lowrib on the very old Dec08 threads. Can't believe our little ones are at school already! DS starts tomorrow. I'm meant to be getting everything ready, but DD (5 months) has other ideas and has only just gone to sleep!

How are you all? Have your little ones already started school? How are they finding it?

beans37 · 18/09/2013 06:02

Contracting every 10mins. Fuck it hurts, but at least it's on the way. Will be in touch afterwards. Byeeeeeee!

Mckayz · 18/09/2013 06:07

Go Beans Go!!!

Hello Aufaniae!! DS2 started full days on Monday and is loving it. I am not yet used to only have DD about.

Speaking of that child, she has been up loads and tends to sleep with her head near DH and spends most of the night kicking me. Time to try and get tough I think. Sad

JamInMyWellies · 18/09/2013 07:07

Woohoo go Beans GrinGrin

Here by 10.10am I reckon.

Hi aufanie

Shhh boys still sleeping. First time in yonks DS2 has not woken.

Arrtttiiieee · 18/09/2013 07:17

Go Beans! I revise my prediction to 9.45am, boy, 7lbs 6oz.

Hi aufanie, I remember you, I never knew whether to pronounce you as Lowri-B or Low Rib! Congrats on your new DD, I have a four monther. Good luck with your DS starting school.

Sorry about the non sleeping DD Kayz. I don't know how you have soldiered on with so little sleep for so long, I'm losing it already and I've done about 1/5 your stretch.

Yay beans! I reckon by midday we will have a new baby!

Hello Aufanie. Congrats on DD and hope that DS has a lovely day at school.

Rubena · 18/09/2013 07:50

Good luck beans! Hope it's quick! Revised time 1133am Grin

Hi Aufanie / lowrib ! How time flies.

sybilfaulty · 18/09/2013 07:59

Go beans. Go beans. Much love. Girl not called Sybil about 11.30

Hello lowrib congrats on the new baby.

Kayz, you are a superstar for keeping going on so little sleep. Have you tried Arti's mrs sleep for help? Think beans had a link too. I was demented with dd1 who was a rubbish sleeper but nowhere near as long as you.

Will let you know once I hear from beans. My phone is playing up re texts though so fingers crossed it gets through!

Mckayz · 18/09/2013 08:19

Not yet Sybs. DH thinks it will be a waste of money because he doesn't think an hour long phone call will solve anything. Might wait for him to go and then do it.

I am going to say Beans will have a boy at 1039. 8lb 1oz

ShadyLadyT · 18/09/2013 09:56

I wonder if Beans is going to be like Wills & Kate and keep us waiting 4hrs Grin

Hi Aufaniae. Of course I remember you and I also puzzled over Lowri-B/Lowrib. Didn't you meet up in East London with Spot, Poison and Effie a few times? Most people are still here, some only pop in now and then and a few people have changed their names. As have I, but fairly subtly. Nice to see you! And congrats on your new nipper.

ShadyLadyT · 18/09/2013 09:58

I have to say girls, I am tad suspicious about this fatigue I'm feeling. Hmmmmm.

Mckayz · 18/09/2013 10:03

Could you be upduffed Lady?

ShadyLadyT · 18/09/2013 10:07

Well, I suppose it is technically possible, yes. I'd be a bit surprised though. Also, despite all my thinking about it, I'd be terrified!

Rubena · 18/09/2013 10:14

I wouldn't be surprised Lady!! GO and test!! NOW! Grin

Mckayz · 18/09/2013 10:19

Test! Test! Test! Test!
