Elizadoesdolittle · 15/11/2013 21:15

vq How awful. Thinking of you and the valium famile xx

Kyz · 15/11/2013 21:27

Evening everyone! I didn't really post much last time cos I was on my phone and knackered. Think it was last night? No idea. Anyway I have alot of groud to cover! Today we finished the painting, I have the odd touch up to do but I will wait for everything to dry first.

E... he's good, he keeps saying toast which is sweet, and his fish as shish but that counts, right? He is walking almost constantly now, he drops to a lightning quick crawl when he's wanting to get to a door he knows has opened but walks most of time otherwise!

I know i'm a bit behing Bplp but did you enjoy your grans visit? hope so!

Glad you're home pikz

Hugs horsey what happened with your horse when the people came to see him/her?

yw Oh go on then, there's lots of tiling to be done here! I find when you do one room you sort of need to do the others because they look like they need doing compared to the nice new fresh one or is that just my crabby house? also yay for sleeping through!

Happy birthday to S for Weds fruit! I agree with whoever said about addding birthdays to calendars because I really struggle to remember :(

Brill pr re the walking! E didn't walk in such a manner but has been able to stand for a long while for a few months now! He was able to stand up for 10 minutes bopping and jigging before he dared take a step! Mind you one turned into three then five and within a week he could go across the room. Amazing how quickly they pick it up

sorry to hear of poorly babies :( hope they're all better soon! So much illness this time of year :(

awww at your proud mummy moment gt sounds lovely :)

I think your milk transition plan sounds good chasing though I still don't know what to do here :/ Currently we're on one bottle of formula at night time before bed, and he has cows milk to drink in the morning and on his cereal, but probably only 3-5oz total.

Fingers crossed re the freelance yw

FC R is coming out of his spurt/molar thingy pp

GT that would piss me off no end re BIL/kids picking up

well done on the weight gains pp and chasing (not you two personally but the little ones)!

Love the phrase 'keep fat' Sophia i might have to nick that one :P

sounds like J is settling great at nursery yw

vq pleased for your J's good run of 3 days fabbyness at nursery too :) Brill stuff! Sorry to hear of more illness at valium castle though :( seriously sucks!

det that is wank, you working xmas :( Fucksticks!

I think everyone has listed all of my xmas faves lily except the grinch unless i have missed it which i LOVE and the night before christmas too

I also only buy the radio times once a year at Christmas! I am also a circler!

pr i WILL remember to pm my address to you, i will i will i will!

eek daisy hope H is back to sleeping soon

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY Eliza that is bloody fantastical news! So so pleased for you!

gt fc you get the pushchair sorted soon, hopefully you won't feel so cooped up then

pp sounds like you dealt with the situation really well :) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Flowers

vq it's good to hear nursery adore j and quite rightly so I hope you manage to sort things, you've obviously used them for a long while now :)

hope she gets better soon lily and F too bplp

stay on socks gt = Tights (as has been mentioned but still thought i'd say it again XD)

hope O's cough clears sophia bless him

bless her misslaughalot hope she is ok, must've been hard to walk away

apple happy birthday to c for yesterday :)

chasing you'll get there with the driving :) and bless O, clever boy!

clever F with the signing bplp!

Aw sophia, what will you need to do about it? hugs

My new phone is blue too pr because it has a blue case

Aw vq that is fab - also not sure what you received but how thoughtful of some quiche members :) Lovely :) I am glad it cheered you up :) I don't have anyones addresses to post anything to but i've seen a few things for quiche babies or quiche people that i've thought oh xxxxx would love that but then realised I don't actually know know anyone or where they live etc!

isles I think that's a good idea of pps with P, try to encourage walks maybe. May be a case of picking your battles so to speak

Would love wine, but have none :(

Plans - Tomorrow I am helping my brother lay a laminate floor in the AM, taking E to the fair middayish after lunch, then going myself once he's in bed for an hour or so. I wasn't going to go but I missed it last year as we were in hospital and I LOVE the fair, and if he's in bed it's ok right?
Sunday is my day of rest, glossing commences Monday morning!

You've done fab pp :)

awww Pass that's so sweet that P has herself a little friend :)

BPLP Just sniggered at the thought of you sewing and soiling in equal measure in a mix of giddy disaster and glee!

I am looking forward to the secret santa too - as said above I keep seeing things and thinking one of you guys/lo's will love! Or at least I think you will

I am also not watching children in need but I did donate

oh no vq so sorry to hear about your MIL :( big hugs for your family. I am glad you got that package today, and I am sending you all lots of love and thoughts xx

TheDetective · 15/11/2013 21:29

Oh VQ. I'm so sorry, your family have really had enough bad news for a lifetime.

I would like to come and give you a big quichy hug right about now.

TheDetective · 15/11/2013 21:34

Kyz of course it's fine for you to go the fair! I'm well jell!

I have some news I would like to share with the quiche!

No I am not fucking pregnant okay!

I think my fanjo might have healed!

I haven't had any pain for the last 6 weeks, am able to run about, do all the normal things I used to do.

The only thing that still gives me a little trouble is crouching. I can do that for longer than before though, and it is less painful, just more like a 'think I'm going to piss/shart' feeling Grin.

I haven't told DP yet. You buggers are the first I have admitted it to! Almost 1 year later, I might, finally, be FIXED!

PetiteRaleuse · 15/11/2013 21:41

Detective fx it has healed, you deserve a break from the vaj issues, especially in your job x

kyz I will be trying to match secret santas by Friday so will start nagging those of you who haven't sent me your adresses early in the week.

Kyz · 15/11/2013 21:50

Woohoo for healing det!

Ok pr I will remember. I might do it now. yes.

I only feel bad about the fair really because I have been so busy recently :( but E will be asleep so I won't be missing out on time with him.

I miss him so much because of decorating that I wished he would wake last night so I could see to him. Madness. He is taken by mil at 9:30 and back for 5 so less than when I get back into work and less than many of you are without yours. Still hate it though :(

Be over soon, it will! Not looking forward to tomorrow. Hate bastard laminate!

Elizadoesdolittle · 15/11/2013 22:02

det That was my first thought Grin but congrats on healed fanjo!

kyz I love the fair too. Was very disapointed when DD1 was scared of fairground rides. She loves them now though. And absolutley do not feel guilty for going back when E is in bed. You deserve some fun you time and E will be none the wiser.

horseylady · 15/11/2013 22:15

det great news your fixed. Can you tell mine to mend too?

Horse a long story but she's still here. Someone coming Sunday to see her. Hopefully she's more sensible and can actually ride.

vq i think I've missed something somewhere. Assuming cancer? Hugs anyway. In fact hugs about it all. Sickness, the lots. It's shit. I hope it gets better for you.

fi just keep counting. Remember you can leave at any point.

YellowWellies · 15/11/2013 22:34

Isles reckon his FF car seat insistence is a deliberate ploy to get out of driving or collecting M - and his 2.5 hour 20 minute tea a similar ruse to put you off asking him to cook again? Envy. Angry

FlouncingIsles · 15/11/2013 22:42

YW you are probably on to something. I do 99% of the driving anyway as I get really travelsick otherwise and I am a horrendously nervous passenger. I am tempted to just give the seat to my mum now and be done with it.

Kyz go and enjoy yourself, hell knows you deserve it x

And VQ lots and lots of big hugs Thanks Wine Thanks Wine

Sophiathesnowfairy · 16/11/2013 00:36

yw ta muchly will keep you informed of progress. In first instance we will refer environmental Health to the planning permission and the company that installed us and take from there.

vq hugs is rough, and maybe a long haul ahead.lots of love needed. Xx

DHs grandmother died this evening.v sad. But aren't all our children lucky to have had a great grandmother. I have spent the evening next door at SILs, chatting etc. I hope that was right thing to do her husband was away on nights. My DH deals with everything v internally and practicAlly.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 16/11/2013 06:09

Wow, last in first in.

O playing tricks with his cough. I was just getting up to get him and he has gone back over. So I have climbed back into my warm bed half dressed.

PetiteRaleuse · 16/11/2013 06:25

Morning all. Supposed to be a sunny day here so once the sun comes up we're going out to enjoy it.

Zamboni · 16/11/2013 06:31

Howdy all. So much to say but v little time so just a quick catch up post really.

det glad the vaj is on the mend.

happy birthday to those I have missed.

VQ sad news. Thanks thinking of you all. And a shitter about nursery. Def time to talk to the manager.

eliza fab news about discharge, brilliant.

kyz enjoy the fair.

sophia hope this isn't too much of a headache.

We are away for the weekend - arrived at my DPs last night and had to keep my excitement under wraps for hours. My DSis then arrived and we also managed to keep normal and then my bro strolled in nonchalantly as planned. He is supposed to be on the other side of the world, not coming home for the foreseeable future due! The surprise totally worked, my parents were so overjoyed to have us all here together, and cried when they saw my bro! It was so emotional but in a wonderful way. We're having a party with extended family today and then lunch on Sunday before we have to come home. Not sure when next I will see my little bro - he can't come back too often and we can't afford to go out there - so making the most of it. DC have assisted by making loads of noise to walk him up early.

Love, hugs, Flowers, Cake, Gin etc as needed for the lovely quiche.

I shall mainly be GrinGrinGrinGrinGrinGrin and WineWineWineWineWinetoday!

PetiteRaleuse · 16/11/2013 06:53

Sounds brilliant zamboni

Lily311 · 16/11/2013 06:59

vq I am so sorry. I still remember when you said how worried you were about her. What's the diagnosis and prognosis?

zamboni we did that to my parents too. They thought my little brother wasn't coming home for Xmas and we organised everything behind their back. It was awesome to see their faces when they saw him at the door.

I supposed to go out tonight with my siblings and cousins but I don't feel like it. I don't want O to sleep at my parents' just yet, she still has temperature. Will cancel it later.

And I have an assignment due next thurs. I'm way behind, only read 2 chapters. Crap.

wellieboots · 16/11/2013 07:00

hello!
too much to catch up on but just checking in. vq I will pm you but so sorry to hear about your MIL Wine Brew and Thanks in whatever measures you need them.

Kyz · 16/11/2013 07:22

Morning all :)

Sorry for your loss sophia Flowers :(

Good luck with your assignment lily

Sophiathesnowfairy · 16/11/2013 07:28
