April 2007 - the babies get bigger and we get busier

[JoMa]

bit boring i know but not feeling very imaginative at the mo

don't know... I can see a motorway...

or here?

i'm thinking we go somewhere where there are things to do, then just all meet up for a picnic lunch?

or maybe find a nearby pub with function room and garden, then hire that for the day so we're ok if it rains?

you and your motorways

we are not postponing a meet-up until T is 1 just for you

How about until he's 17 and can drive his mum down there?

get a grip woman

by 17 he'll be living in a squat with some undesirable types and not driving you anywhere (tis what i expect my boys to do anyway!!!!)

Well can they at least live with the same undesirables? Would put my mind at rest slightly and we could talk about them.

ooh no, you northern undesirables are far more undesirable than our lovely sothern ones don't ya know

but isn't it funny to think that one day we're gonna have to explain to these 17yr olds how we all met in the first place?!

Lol you two!!

Have missed you all [soppy emoticon]

I got the email about the big meet up (thanks Ellie aka JoMa!). Would def try to come and would drive - dont mind motorways! How many hours would it take me to get to Leeds I wonder. Maybe its a good excuse for a hotel stay too!

PMSL at grades of undesirables
In 17 years virtual friends will probably be normal, what we'll have to explain are the ones we knew in RL first
"What you just went to school and there they were??"

Right, am off to bed, he's been asleep for an hour and a half now, am determined to have more than 1 hr sleep before he wakes tonight, unlike last night!
Just to clarify for anyone who thinks I'm a wimp, I'm not scared of motorways, just of being stuck between exits with a hungry baby screaming in the back
I am scared of balloons. Which is perfectly reasonable IMO.

Oh dear.

Dp not impressed by a leeds meet up.

Not that thats gonna make any difference to whether I go or not!

tropical world is in this park
and the leeds meet up is happening there so must be a good place for children!

tell dp i'll come and stay if he goes along with the meet up

Katy, I am not fond of balloons either tbh!

Ellie, thanks for looking up places.

Really need to think about a date now, as people get booked up so quickly.

Are you happy to email people with some suggested dates and see what happens, or do you want me to do anything to help? x

I told him and he looked at me quizically, i stretched then got cramp, he laughed at me and started talking bout leeds I is bit confused. But says if im taking all the kids i can go anywhere i want!!

when do you think SOKL? I guess we come up with 3 dates and canvas opinion?

you have told him he has to come too?

Now is moaning about our house being shit hole if you came to stay but i said its ok ellies is too

I dont think he would come

Ellie, yes I think limiting to 3 dates is a grand idea. You go ahead and pick the dates.

aaargh
don't ask me
i don't have school hols so don't know the dates!
we need one at the start, one in the middle, one at the end

2nd august is nathans birthday so thats my only definite no that I know of so far iyswim

and yes, my house is more of a shit hole than you could possibly imagine

i'd post a photo if i wasn't so embarrassed

I have no idea about school hols either, and it varies quite a lot across the country. I think Scottish schools have finished already for the Summer but go back in August??

but Pesha, we don't have lives, the rest of them do
