That post took me all of three hours to type!!

HC how was your swim? Or was it a Sophie swim?
I don't have a photo of me with my haircut yet, but it's a short bob with a sideways fringe which is more like an eye patch. I thought it looked stupid to start with, but I'm used to it now. DH liked it anyway, though he didn't like the cost!! I told him it was 40 quid, it was actually closer to 50 Good thing I only bother to get my hair cut once in a blue moon, eh.
Hope that migraine doesn't materialize...

Mae, hope Dom is ok after his fall.
See you on Facebook then, but as I said to Bloss, if you don't want to 'reveal all' then don't feel as if you have to!
I'm addicted to that now too, as well as MN. My poor children...

Hi All
Just an attempt at a quick catch up - bit manically busy here as have the parents coming on Saturday for a few weeks and so much to get done before then?

HC - at your BIL and SIL - £2500 on a watch, good grief!! Think how many bottles of Blossom Hill you could buy with that Hope the migraine buggers off soon x

Annie - hope you had a good night out and that the haircut was a success, sounds radical!! If you do join Bloss?s Facebook please be my friend as well - you should be able to spot me fairly easily amongst Bloss's friends on the first page, I?m the one brandishing alcohol?
Bummer about Kayley?s sleeping How's she doing with food? (sorry, that sounds HV-ish, don?t mean to)! Hope Joey?s settling better at nursery. I think it really is just a question of them getting used to it, very hard though at the start - i was lucky that Emma was too young to notice when she went or I would have been a total mess, hope it gets easier soon. xx

Impy - fingers crossed it?s nothing serious, I do remember reading recently (on one of the threads here I think) that numbness is fairly common with cs scars and I guess scar tissue might well feel lumpy, especially if your belly is anything like as soft and jelly-like as mine is lol. Hope they can put your mind at rest soon xxx Re the bf, hmm alcohol-free nights don?t really feature too strongly in my schedule I think I?m ready to stop now though (bf not drinking!), though still have a few twinges of sadness of course. Have tried to stop gradually, eg tried a couple of mornings ago and she did feed, but very briefly and nothing like an equivalent to even a small bottle, so I guess she?s not really missing out on much now anyway. On the other hand she happily gutzes down formula first thing in the mornings so that?s good.

Hi Ceebee - well done to Josh - sympathise about the mixed feelings when they don?t appear to be AT ALL bothered at your departure Emma?s so preoccupied with pouncing on the nursery toys she can barely raise a wave, bit embarrassing sometimes as the nursery girls vainly try to get her to ?say bye bye to mummy?! It?s only because she?s so familiar with them now though, would be a different story if it was somewhere new I guess .

Bloss - you a bad mum - most bonkers thing I?ve ever heard! I can so understand how incessant questions must drive you nuts (bit like having new people starting at work maybe, but much worse ).

I?ve been looking forward to Emma talking a bit more (just by way of variety really from the current range of communication - ?displeased shriek? / ?herrow? / her other two or three favourite words) - but aware at the same time it?s a mixed blessing

Agalch - not surprised you enjoy your mindee and child-free opportunities - that?s a full-on early morning schedule Make the most of them - and the belly dancing!

Lysette - glad all went well with the scan - really feel for you re the sickness . But worth it in the end! It is supposed to be true that girls make you feel sicker, and also that you crave chocolate and fruit rather than pickles and salty things - we should do a poll here to see if that?s true (was for me)! And it?s great that you manage to get out and about as much as you do, much better than mooching at home.

Spin - with you on the girly clothes shopping, and it?s so much easier to buy her clothes than trying to squeeze my own fat arse into a new pair of jeans

Emma?s doing well - hospital appt today and she?s properly back on 25th centile. Have been advised to try dairy in a couple of months time in stages (starting with processed, eg in biscuits, then going onto yoghurts and cheese, then finally raw milk) and see how she goes. But she was SO well behaved during the appt, couldn?t believe it. The dietitian asked ?is she always like this?? ?NO? I said, laughing darkly.

Hi to everybody I haven?t mentioned, hope everyone?s well.

Well better get on, have good afternoons all xxxx

FirstAtForty · 20/09/2007 14:14

lol x posted Annie

hi Mae - will try and find you on facebook too x

AnnieOleHouseElf · 20/09/2007 14:21

Haven't found any of you yet

MaeWest · 20/09/2007 14:24

Annie - I think I found you, either that or I have just sent a complete stranger with 2 small children a v odd message...

AnnieOleHouseElf · 20/09/2007 14:26

Found you Mae!

FirstAtForty · 20/09/2007 14:50

Annie and Mae - have found you both (I hope!)

AnnieOleHouseElf · 20/09/2007 14:52

You got me First!
How did you do that, I haven't a clue how to find people if I don't know their names?

ceebee74 · 20/09/2007 14:52

Mae - have e-mailed you my name so you can find me and then I can hopefully find you and Annie.

Have to admit I don't really get Facebook at all though - just want to build my friends up so if someone wants to explain why it is so addictive to me feel free cos I really really don't see it at all.

First - well done Emma on getting all her weight back on - fab news! I have to disprove your theory as I had BAD BAD morning (and all day in fact) sickness and craved Haribo sweets (definitely no savoury stuff for me) and had a boy.

ceebee74 · 20/09/2007 14:52

Ooh will see if I can get you both from First's profile now.

AnnieOleHouseElf · 20/09/2007 14:53

See what you mean about brandishing alcohol!!

AnnieOleHouseElf · 20/09/2007 14:56

Found you Ceebee!
This is fun!

AnnieOleHouseElf · 20/09/2007 14:56

I think I find it addictive, cos it's new to me. Once I've caught up with everyone I know, then I might not be so nosey anymore!!

ImpyChica · 20/09/2007 15:47

OK Maewest, I've been sucked into the Facebook void and just sent you an email!

Sympathies on Morinho (sp?) CB! (not!) I'm sure he fancies his chances at Lincoln city now...!

And thanks for your lovely words again everyone. You're probably right F@F and it's nothing - it just feels different to how it was a few months ago...

Laters Impy xxx

FirstAtForty · 20/09/2007 18:10

Annie - you've probably worked it out by now but i found you on Mae's page, bit of a gamble that it really was you but the clues were there!

Ceebee - agree, I don't find it addictive like MN is addictive, it's fun finding people like we are now, but I haven't got into all the vampire stuff or anything... will have to try harder

HumphreysCorner · 20/09/2007 19:19

I registered on Facebook but didn't get it so signed off again. I've found Scrabulous now from another thread and me likes Scrabble!

Ladies - have just found Prettymum on Facebook and sent her a Friend request.... (mmm maybe this is addictive after all )

Wallace · 20/09/2007 21:14

looks like I am going to have to go and investiate facebook...

kbaby · 20/09/2007 21:28

Hi, Not a very good week here. DD was sick Sunday night and since then hasn?t been herself and is waking all night with tummy ache, wetting the bed and just wanting company, Some stuff happened in work and I got summoned to HR and to top it all today I have a stinking cold. I hope they both sleep tonight. Dh is out yet again for the rugby.

On a plus note DS seems to be obsessed with settes and keeps shouting to sit on it and then roll about in the cusions, hes starting to say a few more words like fish and there.

Bloss- DD is lazy town mad and wants pink hair like Stephanie. Im glad to see that the dummy issue went well and that you are now also subjected to a non stop talking toddler buy some childrens song cd?s then they are too busy signing to annoy you. The reason DS is so slow to talk I think is because when ever its quiet I just want to enjoy it and not strike up a conversation about every thing passing us in the car ie ?oh look at the bus going past, dog,cat, tractor, pissed up bloke etc. Chin up you?re a fab mum.

Oww who ever has joined facebook come and find me, im bloses friend under owen.

Fab pics Agalch - how cute is Eilidh?!!

Spin - I'm sure with your supersonic IT detective powers you can track us all down on Facebook, including HC!

Kbaby - lol at making the most of the silences, I feel like that a lot of the time and I don't even have a toddler... maybe I should make the most of the relative silence now then Sorry to hear about your bummer week hope things pick up soon {{hugs}} I tried doing a friend request to you on Facebook but not sure if it went through or not?

Ceebee - hmmm, interesting about the Haribos... maybe they qualify as the pickles of the confectionery world (assuming you mean the fizzy type ones)?
