ellie- yr profile has gone??????????

Hello everyone

Gosh...I don't know what to type it's been so long. I got an email from SOL asking if I was alive so thought I'd nip on and say Hi.

I haven't been online for so long, I'm sorry for the abrupt disappearance but I was finding it really hard with baby and trying to keep up and I just couldn't cope with it to be honest.

All is great here. I have added a recent piccy of Robyn to my profile. She is an absolute angel child and is full of giggles and smiles. Life with 2 now feels like normal and all is going really well.

Just going through a tricky patch as James has been in hospital and had his tonsils and adenoids out on Tuesday. It was the first time I had to leave Robyn so it was all a bit traumatic and seeing James in such discomfot has been awful even though I know it is for the best in the long run.

Not a huge amount to report - just enjoying my maternity leave...trust us to have the worst summer on record as our maternity leave eh!

I hope you are all doing really well. I would love to try and keep up but i find it nigh on impossible to be honest.

Much love to you all

MIASTx

Yes, E, if you think that would be ok??

EllieK · 23/08/2007 22:09

of course, I have a double futon and the travel cot, and it gives me a reason to get off my backside and clear the downstairs room

Evening ladies

MIAST, fantastic to see you, and R is absolutely adorable. Hope James makes a speedy recovery. I remember having my tonsils and adenoids out and being made to eat cornflakes to toughen up the throat followed by ice cream to soothe it.
Take care of yourself.

Ellie, delighted you had such a good time with Pinions.

WO, great that you have the swimming places sorted. K an I are going to go to something called Baby Sensory from October, and then from January we are going to Sing and Sign.

Quiet on here today.

Managed to get to Body Balance again tonight. B was still up when I left and even though she had dh, she got really upset saying I wouldn't come back . She ended up apparently taking the jeans I was wearing to bed with her. God, they know what buttons to press don't they??!! God love her.

EllieK · 23/08/2007 22:15

is no-one gonna ask about the sex shop?

OP posts:
CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 22:19

She took your jeans to bed, bless her .... Deary me .... Hope you enjoyed Body Balance anyway hon!

So, Ellie, the Sex Shop ........

normabutty · 23/08/2007 22:20

Did someone say the S word??? Come on Ellie - dish it!!!!

MIAST - nice to hear from you. Pics are lovely!

normabutty · 23/08/2007 22:21

SOL - aww bless B, that is so sweet.

Still not packed...have finished laundry tho!

EllieK · 23/08/2007 22:23

well, is all very innocent really, we needed directions to where we were headed, so Mr Pinions said he'd go into the nearest shop. Only after he'd gone in and the boys went to follow did Pinions and I realise it was an Ann Summers type shop we were lol, especially as Mr P hadn't realised until he was in there!

OP posts:
CaptainDippy · 23/08/2007 22:24

Excellent! Did he manage to keep his cool!!?

EllieK · 23/08/2007 22:28

he thought it was funny, but the woman in front of him at the till started mumbling about her purchase being for a friend!

leakyR · 23/08/2007 22:29

Is there a sex shop in Lowestoft? Norfolk has changed since I was a lass!

MIAST - R is gorgeous and hope James feels better soon. Know what you mean about not being able to keep up.

SOL - are you feeling better now?

WO- looked at baby swimming classes but decided they were too expensive. DH loves to take G anyway so we're kind of making it up as we go along. Is yours one where they take underwater photos? They are fab!

Forgotten everything else! Might be time for bed!
