I hope no one minds the other thread seemed to be dying out a bit.

I can't belive Harry is one on Friday, he is into everything, such a cheeky chappy!

Mum is alot better they are sending her home to rest and loose some wieght then getting her back in for another crack at op.
The events of this horrible yr have all caught up with her and she is in bits, its painfull tyo wathc especially not knowing what to say or do.

Jack is fine, still hating nebulisers but its for his own good, he is to into everything and looking more grown up by the day.

I hope everyone is well, are we all looking forward to xmas?

Hi all - sorry I have been awol but I have been back at work for a month now (full time) and after looking at a PC for 8 + hours I can't do it at home too

NJ - what a lovely romantic thing to do - I have always wanted to run off to Gretna - so pleased your mum has apologised etc. Hope the boys are feeling better and G has a fab birthday.

Sara - gorge new photos Sorry to hear about DP's job - fingers crossed for 3 months time. Sorry I haven't emailed you back - have slapped own wrist!

Stacey - hope you aren't finding things too difficult and that you patch things up with DH when you are ready.

Charlee - hope your mum is feeling better and you are looking after yourself as well as everybody else

Debbsy - hey you, hope K is feeling better. DS is poorly at the moment too, chest infection - he has anti b's and a puffer we're fine, looking forward to no2 joining us in May!

DS is now 13 months and not brave enough to let go of the sofa / table etc yet. He is enjoying nursery lots - he is going to be a donkey in the nursery nativity I am 19 weeks on Friday and have my 20 week scan on 20th Dec - when I will be 21 weeks! Have booked a 4d scan for 12th Jan - v exciting! Working full time is tiring but will be worth it for the mat pay again!

Will try and catch up more often - hope all ok

CharleeSawMummyKissingSanta · 06/12/2007 04:33

Hi all.

I just thought i would pop in while im on the p.c.

You may wonder what i am doing on the p.c at 4.30 am?

I was feeding harry (who is still waking several times a night yawn)

When dp pipes up - we didn't pay the council tax, and you know the rent is due next week we haven't put the money a side!'

which has left me going FUCK IT! no i hadn't remebered and after working out finaces there isn't a snowballs chance in hell we can afford the bills let alone my xmas pressies that dp still hasn't brought.

SHIT SHIT SHIT!

am to stressed to sleep now!!!!!!

BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!

Staceym11PipersPiping · 06/12/2007 08:58

oh charlee.............

just a thought, how much is your rent?

i hope you're feeling a bit calmer but i doubt it, i know what it's like!

NatalieJane · 06/12/2007 10:05

Helloooooooooooo

Debz and Kaybee, lovely to hear from you, glad everything is going well, Debz I hope K feels better by now and Kaybee, glad the pregnancy is going well (still very of all the new mummies to be)

Stacey, how was the meet up? Give us all the gossip please How are you coping now without DP?

Podglet, awwww bless your little man being a donkey How sweet lol Also glad the pregnancy is going well I said all the way through George's pregnancy that I didn't want a 4d scan, but now wish I had, you will have to tell us all how it goes And yes, while others may think not, our wedding was very romantic!

Charlee, what can I say? Your poor DP, as much as he is in the wrong, he must have been going out of his mind with worry, and not thinking he could tell you must be have been making it worse. And now poor you, I hope you can find a way to sort it out.

Sara, are you excited about tomorrow? What have you got planned? Hope Ryan has a really good day xxx

Now catch up done, It is George's birthday tomorrow We are opening his pressies here, then going down to my mums (DS1 is having the day off school, but shushhhhhh don't tell anyone lol) mum is doing a proper tea party with home made cake (will let you know how crap there were!!! ;) ) tiny triangle sandwhiches, jelly and ice cream, the works Then Saturday, my sister, and her brood are coming to mums from Cheltenham, the kids are having a mini-christmas, and George will open the rest of his birthday pressies, and we are having roast turkey and jackets potatoes mmmmmmmmmm Then Sunday I am taking my mum into town to get her something from me and my sister, we've both put £100 in, and I am hoping that we can get her something special that she would never ever buy for her self, I am thinking maybe a nice handbag or something, but obviously she can choose what she want's. Then home sunday night, DH has got Monday off work as well, so probably get the last few bits sorted for christmas, and then we will be done

George took a step on his own night before last, nothing since though, thinking he might be like his brother after all and we'll still be waiting when he is 14 months old lol

Right I am off to do some packing and getting ready for tomorrow I got balloons, banners, party hats... I am sooooo excited lololol

Take care everyone. Have a good day tomorrow Sarah and Ryan See you when I have a 1 year old!!! Byeeeeeeeee xxxxxxxxxxxx

CharleeSawMummyKissingSanta · 06/12/2007 11:37

Thanks guys, i don't blame DP! My rent is £800! We have half of it. I will work something out, at least the boys will be getting something form the MN appeal and from family we got them a few tiny things each but not nearly as much as i would have liked, i got dp something small ages ago so he is sorted to.

littlemissmischief · 06/12/2007 22:43

Hi everyone!!
So sorry I havent been around I have been so busy with work and stuff i never get time to come on here and even when i do im so out the loop i cant catch up so sorry, ive scanned through just now and sorry for those having probs and glad the pgs are going well, and Happy Birthday to all lo's.

Well Alfie has changed so much we now have lots of teeth and he is a full blown walker now it is so cute to watch him waddle about I cant believe where this year has gone. When i get a minute I will put some more up to date pics on, he had a great birthday party we spent so much money and made a right fuss and I was exhausted at the end of it but it was so worth it he was so happy all day! Hope all the babies had good birthdays.

Anyway gonna go have a bath cos im shattered but just wanted to say 'hi'. I hope everyone gets the roubles sorted and i will try to come on here more regular to keep up.

Hello everyone

George's birthday went really well, he had a lovely weekend, well we all did

Charlee fab news all round!! So glad things seem to be looking up for you all for a change

We have had a few weeks run of illnesses and bugs, but apart from DH who is still down with the 'flu (still not sure if it the 'flu or in fact man 'flu!!) I think we are all through the worst of it.

I started back on the pill last week, and have hardly slept a wink, I have been awake since 12.30 this morning, going to give it another week or two and if I still can't sleep, we are going to have to think of a different plan!

We have the food shopping to do tomorrow, but apart from that we are ready for christmas I am soooooooooooooo excited, can hardly stop myself from jumping around! We nipped into town earlier and I was walking around humming christmas songs, got a few funny looks, but I don't give a.... ahem....

Anyway, this will probably be my last post before christmas soooooo............

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

and just incase..............

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hi, hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and all babies (and siblings) now thoroughly spoilt! DS got some lovely pressies, just trying to stop DP playing with them!

We went to PIL's for a few days which was great, didn't have to do anything!

Bump is now 22 weeks and getting bigger by the minute, only 2 weeks til our 4d scan!

DS still not walking but can climb an entire flight of stairs and get into plenty of mischief caught him making "confetti" with a box of tissues last week...
