I'm all for a good bit of fantasy and have no qualms about lying to have a bit of magic in a child's life.

From the very first Christmas we have talked about Santa coming, bringing presents (only some of the presents or it gets into the having to explain that Santa can't afford a wii at a very early age iyswim).

A throw back from my own Christmas is looking out of the window before bed on Xmas Eve and asking if they can hear bells... it is amazing how clearly a child can hear bells if mummy can (I was convinced for years after finding out about a lack of FC that my dad was shaking bells outside... it turns out he wasn't, I just believed enough to hear bells!).

I haven't emphasised the naughty/nice thing - it always seemed wrong to me that the evil little git at school still got presents .

I've told B all about Yule too, and will start with Emrys joining in this year. I leave Jesus to school and tv

for convulsions EPPM

DS is ill again - he now seems to have the cold that DD had at the weekend, and PsychoBoy2 has now (PB2's has turned into very nasty croup )

Apologies for my appalling mastermind playing last night . I was exhausted and the colours kept merging - really shouldn't play in that state but I am starting to think I will never be properly awake again!!!

Christmas - Little dude is getting mainly thomas and trains stuff.

I prefer decent wooden toys to lots of cheaper plastic, but I seem to be being overruled this year . We're trying to go for more books though to stop the mass of untouched toys!

From my sister B is getting Charlie and Lola Fuzzy Felts, Spiderman Box Set, and a disney board game. Emrys is getting two thomas books and his doll. They are getting Puff The Magic Dragon between them

Well, you all know what the boys re getting for xmas, as io've been on about my xmas shopping often enough Got my Dad to get his pressie for ds1 yesterday (that was the last thing unsorted), and he's gonig to be sooo excited. He's got him the Dinoco helicopter where Mater pops out.
Mind you, he did say 'I want a bunk bed like

mustrunmore · 15/11/2007 08:40

Oh, csws,you asked about wheely bugs; they do have them in Tescos Direct. So you could safeguard your shares while xmas shopping

Chloe55 · 15/11/2007 09:01

Morning!

EPPM - how scarey, I'd have been terrified, seems you handled it very calmly though. Hope your lo starts feeling better soon.

Not sure what we will do about FC. In-laws are highly religious of the Catholic type - I think, as I am an agnostic, that they think I am gonna put doubts about God etc in ds's mind, I won't but neither will I actively participate in Godly discussions I don't think. FC, however, I can't wait to put out the big boot footprints/jingle bells/leave a mince pie, brandy and carrot!

Still no period, day 48

Flame · 15/11/2007 09:20

Another test Chloe?

I like the idea of little people for the NCT group

OP posts:
Chloe55 · 15/11/2007 09:33

Think I might buy one today Flame, have only done one this month which is a huge improvement on last month My endometriosis is playing up loads today though so think I'm def not pg as it seemed to really calm down when I was pg last time

mustrunmore · 15/11/2007 09:39

I've got a spare test if you email me your address. Ds2 found it Not like I'm ever going to need it now

Flame · 15/11/2007 09:59

Aww

Got a thomas set! Managed to convince a guy on ebay to end the auction early. Spent £10 which was slightly more than I planned, but I think I'll be able to get B's cheaper so it will all balance out

OP posts:
Chloe55 · 15/11/2007 17:28

Well, I didn't buy a test, coz guess what?....Came on just before I went shopping!! Well, I say I have come on - not really sure as had absolutely no period pains, no headache (which I normally get) and no PMT? Weird, oh well - my body is a bit weird at the mo.

Jas · 15/11/2007 20:21

Chloe

Tuesday ok mrm? I could arrive before nursery and come with you for the trip out

I hope FlameBoy is better soon.

CantSleepWontSleep · 15/11/2007 20:36

Chloe - but for at least knowing where you are in your cycle.

mrm - is your pregnancy test even in date now?!

Anyone want to take on the master at mastermind tonight? I've won 14, drawn 2 and lost 2 since I started playing.

Ooh - just spotted the post about wheelybugs mrm. Even better is that mum works for them now (in store) so can get 10% discount . Must find one somewhere to try one out. Otherwise I think we'll get her a likeabike.

I don't even know what Happyland or Little People are, so I'd best go look. NCT group will be tiny presents if any - the rest of them have to watch what they spend quite closely.

How is dd's temp today EPPM?

mustrunmore · 15/11/2007 20:38

Yep, Tuesday is fine. What a exciting trip for you! Let me know roughly what time yoou reckon on coming, to see if I can cram a playgroup in beforehand, or whether you will be entertainment enough

mustrunmore · 15/11/2007 20:40

Ah, so thats why I said do a secret santa thing for nct, you see

Ds1 made your xmas card today csws Ds2 tried to help but ended up eating glitter glue, so that'll be a nice poo.

He can say something new... 'tea' and 'toast'

mustrunmore · 15/11/2007 20:43

Am going to check the date on the test! Never even thought about it.

Jusr realised; I didnt answer you about the dentist, did I? He had to have a filling Nothing wrong with our brushing, but where his enamel didnt form on hte back teeth, they'll always be weak and chip off Dentist now says it wasnt just from taking antibiotics whilst pg, it could also be if ds1 had the squits etc v badly as a baby, which I'm sure he prob did. He was very brave anyway; only complained once, about 'the hoover'.

Jas · 15/11/2007 21:01

Between 11.30 and 12, depending on traffic. I can make it a bit later if you want to go to toddler group first though.
poor filling boy.

Suggest the secret santa thing csws, or you will end up with loadsof tiny presents you don't wat. I'm doing it with all m friends as we all have too many children and it gets expnsive (or I feel mean when I don't get anything and they do)

csws - I'll play you. You are the only person I'm losing to so I need to practice against you more

Flame · 15/11/2007 21:04

I am doing completely crapply.

My logic was absolutely fine when I started, and now I just seem to be randomly clicking colours.

I wanna wipe the lot and start again.

can I do that?!?

OP posts:
Flame · 15/11/2007 21:06

aRse it remembered me.

I'mn stopping for a while to get back a brain.

I hate being useless.

I was good before

OP posts:
Phoenix · 15/11/2007 21:09

Flame - you can't be more useless than me. I'll play the games you and Jas have challenged me to soon

mustrunmore · 15/11/2007 21:31

11.30 to 12 is fine. It finishe 11.30, but the boys never beahave during the singing, so we always leabve a bit early Its just on the minin roundabout on thr main road by ours(well, in a church there, not just on the roundabout!)

CantSleepWontSleep · 15/11/2007 21:52

You can't stop until you've finished the game that you challenged me to flame! Have done that one and Jas'.

Just remembered that I bought (identical) presents for 2 of my NCT group earlier in the year! They both have birthdays between Christmas and New Year though, so could always give them for that instead.

for dentist. Didn't realise that being ill could do that - scary thought!

CantSleepWontSleep · 15/11/2007 22:20

mrm - why can't I find the wheelybug on Tesco's site?

EachPeachPearMum · 15/11/2007 22:48

evening all!
Well- she's much better tonight! (thank goodness, DH and I were starting to get seriously frazzled)
Her temp has been fine, still coughing a bit, but mostly quiet.

She spent 2 hours screaming at dh this evening until I came home from work, then asked for an apple, and to go to bed Obviously was a 'good' thing though, as she went to sleep quickly, and by herself- YAY!

She has cried out a few times this evening, but settled herself each time.

At east something good has come out of her illness- she's forgotten to be scared by everything back to her old self methinks.

please show the wheely bug link mrm, as I want to get dd one too...(or point me to the thread maybe?)

How/where do you play mastermind?

Flame- hope your los are feeling better too.

Wow- I'm almost human tonight!

Flame · 15/11/2007 22:51

Tonsillitis seems to be back

CantSleepWontSleep · 15/11/2007 23:00

Did it actually go away flame?

On facebook EPPM. If you want to play then CAT me and I'll tell you some RL names to add to your friends (assuming you are on there).
