[Katy44]

and, of course, drool

[leakyR]

Ha! What a cheek. She'll soon be gone (keep telling yourself this)

Right off to bathe now while G is still asleep.

Will speak to you ladies later in the week.

[JoMa]

lol

where does she live FF? you realise mine s closer to you than me! and she gave brth at bath as swindon wasn't up to her standards!

[flashfinn]

yeah because ruh is spotlessly clean {guffaw}

Mine lives in Altrincham. I hav another in Boston, USA and my brother has just moved to near Kendal.

[flashfinn]

So - think have missed part of the story - is she staying with you?

[weeonion]

joma - she sounds such a fab sis - cant understand why you wouldnt want to spend as much time with her as possible

[JoMa]

no, she's staying with gran, the low standards got forgotten when she was asked to be godmother to her friends children in suffolk and needed somewhere to stay

[JoMa]

and i'll have tho one in usa please FF

[JoMa]

oh, and i wasn't best pleased to find out about the godmother thing, this woman used to live in the flat below her when she was in suffolk. my sister didn't attend matthews christening, or his birthday, as she couldn't afford the petrol

[Pesha]

'they only have bigger things like shreddies with no milk as it is cleaner!'

You're fucking kidding me! I mean I know I have low standards as far as tidiness goes but that is not right, I mean not right as in OCD or something. To limit the food you're children can eat and deprive them of milk and presumably other things because its messy, she's really damaging her kids. Apart from being a prize bitch the woman needs help!

[weeonion]

i am off to visit my gran tomorrow. she used to give me and my big bro raw eggs and mashed potato to eat whilst our cousins got fish fingers and chips. she also told us that we were adopted from "tinkers" and not to tell our mum that we knew.
cant wait to see her??

[flashfinn]

She has just been over for 6 weeks. She is an interior designer/architect and has a 13 year old son who is great. We think she has a secret life as some kind of spoof as everytime she goes somehwere there is a terrorist attack. On 9/11 she was due on the boston flight to new york but my nephew was poorly and insisted she stay home - 8 of her colleagues were killed. Last summer she was due to fly out on the flights from Heathrow that were targeted and then she was due to fly into Glasgow the day of the car bombing....

[Pesha]

Hello btw

[flashfinn]

wo - rofl at your gran!!! I hope I'm that mad by the time I have grandchildren! Cheque not here btw.

[JoMa]

that is scary FF, does it make her nervous?

hi Pesha i would try to tell my sister that she is mad, but she'd only get cross and bitch about me

[JoMa]

and WO
bet you don't visit often!

[weeonion]

ff - i will try and find out about cheque whn i get back to scotland on wed night.

gran was a complete bitch. when she babysat us - amongst other things - we had to stay on the sofa the whole time. when mum got back - she would then say that we had broken things/ran away/ fought with our perfect cousins etc etc. only years later our mum belived us.
cant wait for tomorrow in a way - a few things i think will be said to her at long last.....

[flashfinn]

yes very scared!

Hi Pesha

I have fallen out with both my sisters for telling them what I thought - in fact I didn;t actually tell them - I just left! One sister stood in the street and shouted at me and the other didn't even notice. We are friends now but it does take time to calm down! We try not to all be in the same place at once - esp with my mum - she makes it worse!

[flashfinn]

Reminds me of Perfect Peter in the Horrid Henry stories - would much rather have the latter as a child.

[weeonion]

joma - you posted the other night about the meet up...... i forgot to say that yep - i am still interested!

[JoMa]

ok, meet up. november?
i think we might try to do a meet up at baby show then another one up north? try to get everyone to one of them?

[Pesha]

My dad came round earlier. Had asked what nath wanted for his birthday so i told him a few things, he bought him one of those thomas night light/torch things for £15. Then we took dog out, kids took bikes/scooters and i was telling my dad maia needs new bike so he offered to buy her a bike for her bday pressie which not for 3 months but will get it early for her so sher got it in summer. Which is lovely but thats 15quid on nathan and £50/60 on maia! And asked how she is in the sun cos he's just got back from greece and thinking next year it'd be nice to take maia for a week. Which again is really nice but what about nathan. FFS what is it with my family that they only interested in maia?!

Really upsetting me. I told my mum that nathan would be upset if she had m for the night and not n and she seemed surprised and said oh she wouldnt want that she wouldnt have her then. I said well you could always have both she said hmm i suppose i could but didnt sound keen so i told her to think about it. Had it really not occured to her that a 4 yr old boy would be upset if his grandma invited his sister over for the night but not him?!!!

[flashfinn]

I am working at the Earls Court baby show on the Onelife stand! Don't tend to get much a of a break but would be able to have lunch with you

[flashfinn]

Ah poor Nathan - that is a bit mean. We have no girls in our family so could see that kind of thing happening if any of us had a pink species but would be shocked if grandparents only invited one of mine - esp the older ones.

[weeonion]

poor nath that is a bit mean but also that they might not see how making a difference between them might not be noticed!!

[geordiemacminx]

Hey ladies
