WeFrizyouamerrychristmas · 01/12/2006 13:04

Dew you are not fat, your PREGNANT and thus your expected to eat! try to stick to a few of the right things tho, just makes life nicer in 9mths or so Satsumas are very good at the mo!

Flame, ello! nice Yule name, mines a bit pants, but was all I can think off....

Hi ellenrose

CSWS hope you got sleep?

MRM I've opened my pirates calander this am, tis propped up next to dh's homer one, and dd1's Barbie one, I have a whole month of Johnny Depp on my kitchen wall

Anyway must dash and get ss from school, will catch you all tomorrow, as off for girls night out tonight mates 33rd so we'll all be plastered then or at least that's the plan!

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 15:16

OOooh I saw the pirate one yesterday!!!

Doing the non pregnant boogie with you

Hiya ER!!!

Somehow completely missed Chloe's driving bit (event hough I read hher post because i remember thinking migraine easing vibes)

Oi Tech - where' my festive smilies???

Sorry for the lack of ltters - on psycho's laptop and its hell (she's dying of a cold so I am here for the afternoon on parenting duty)

She bought me a goooooooooooorgeous bustier type top the other day, but it was too big, tried the 12, and it was too small... so I now have a lovely pair of boots instead

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 15:17

Oh yes - Dew - you're pregnant, not a fat banshee, and Friz - I like the name

hotmama · 01/12/2006 17:00

Friz - don't count your chestnuts! I had 2 negative tests when preg with dd2 - hence on this thread!

Think I'll be Hotmulledwinemama - like I was last year [boring icon].

Oh yes, found out why you should use the straps on highchairs! Gave dd2 her lunch (strapped in) just about to take her upstairs when I remembered she hadn't had any water, so put her back in and gave her a sippy cup.

Thought I'll just nip outside to get some shopping from my car - comes back in and dd2 is standing up in said highchair - grinning her face off! F&%K! I nearly crapped myself as we have a very hard stone floor in the kitchen - don't want to think what would happen if she had fell out! Lesson learned!

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 17:13

DS just slides out from under the tray... not that I know from experience, oh no not me... and he didn't roll off the bed last night only to be saved by me grabbing his arm...

CranberryJelley · 01/12/2006 18:41

Just popping in so I don't lose you all off my active convos list

May be back later...I'm off to order my new cooker

hotmulledwinemama · 01/12/2006 18:44

Like the new names.

Forgot to mention my dishwasher has been broken most of the week - now fixed cost £140 - but worth it so not to handwash - my hands are knacked!

hotmulledwinemama · 01/12/2006 18:45

Which cooker are you getting?

CranberryJelley · 01/12/2006 19:30

My cooker

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 19:34

So you've been knob twiddling and made a choice on the cooker

HMWM - @ £140 to fix the dishwasher - why do things always die before christmas??

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 19:37

Oooh that looks like my mum's!

CranberryJelley · 01/12/2006 19:54

I've ordered it. Delivery in 10 days.

Did I not give you a complete run down of my knob twiddling? We kept the kids out til 8pm (on a school night) specially.I've spent £1.50 over my budget, so that is the entire family's christmas present and dps birthday taken care of.

£140 to fix a dishwasher is scary. dp is quit handy and always fixes our broken stuff, or has a mate who does it cheep. One of the perks of living with a builder.

I'm starting to notice boyness in ds, rather than baby
He's taken to bodyslamming the stair gate and his cot (so hard the legs of the cot leave the ground!)My mum said yesterday he's the kind of baby you should have at 22. (I'm 37!)

CranberryJelley · 01/12/2006 19:54

cheap

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 20:16

Emrys is turning into a boy too All the bashing toys they do Girls just aren't like that!

CantSleepWithSanta · 01/12/2006 20:26

Err - yes they are .

Cooker looks great Jas.

dewmeadow · 01/12/2006 20:33

Ive noticed that about my DS too!! He bashes and bangs and headbangs - he just loves roughty-toughty-ness. DD was NEVER like that. He is also fascinated by toys and how they work - she couldnt have cared less about toys.

Ooooo CJ - what a posh cooker!! Health to cook on and may you never burn.

Loving the Xmas names. Still thinking......actually Im not - I keep forgetting

MulledWineMama - F**K! I can hear your heart thumping from here! DS also slides out the bottom. Thats cat-melodian about your dishwasher! (do you know that expression, or is it Irish?)

I starte the whole advent calendar thing with DD this mornign and told her you open one door everyday. Stupidly I left it on the office table, and when I went there this evening, she had ripped the whole thing apart and snaffled half the choccies! How sly is that not to tell me! Poor wee thing - she cried as if her heart was broken when I was cross (and I was only a wee bit cross, not roaring).

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 20:35

Noooooo, they do different kind of bashing... its all very odd, I didn't think that girls and boys would be so different so early, but they really are. I can see it in the step neplings too.

That's a thought - what size clothes is Pippa in?

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 20:39

Awww, DD has a pocket one this year (got sick of all the non festive looking fifi etc ones) - the fairies took her bottles away and left her with the advent calendar... The fairies regretted it at bedtime!

CranberryJelley · 01/12/2006 20:39

My dds were both very different, so I just got used to all children being different and thought that was it, but he crawled the length of the church hall at toddler groups today and yesterday to get at the cars

I've learnt the hard way re high chairs too. DS is jammed in with a cushion under him, and the straps on.

DM - never heard the cat thing before.
Don't think fat, think pregnant. There is a difference

CranberryJelley · 01/12/2006 20:40

I'm not doing choc calendars any more. I've got one with a little book for each day, for them to share.

CranberryJelley · 01/12/2006 20:40

CantSleepWithSanta · 01/12/2006 20:41

She's in a mix of 6-9 and 9-12 months mostly. We thought she'd be in bigger sizes by now, but with her being lighter now than 2 months ago, things are lasting longer than expected!

dm - half you post was written in Irish! Never heard of the cat thingy expression. How about snowmeadow for a Christmas name for you?

CranberryJelley · 01/12/2006 20:43

Oh he has also worked out how to turn the tv off.

Apparently dp was a horror for taking things apart when he was little. He destroyed everything he was given working out how it was made. I'm beginning to think Boy is going the same way.

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 21:01

Oh, yes - tv turning off, xbox turning on, and bashing the remote in just the right way to get the batteries out

Aren't boys great

CSWS - Please can you email me your address? I have something little tucked away that I think you will love (or more to the point, I love it )

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 01/12/2006 21:24

Ooooh I forgot (in the excitement of new boots)... we have a TOOTH
