ha ha ha ha ha

this and this

both on GMM's christmas list

Hi all, bit less stressed here today! Hope all are well. CD, glad you are feeling brighter today and echo what everyone else has said that you are not useless and unemployable you are a very good friend to many on here and you have many transferable skills

SPB, hope you can salvage the garage door.

SOL, not sure about the swollen hands thing. Had she had that particular cereal before?

Runny, hope you have had a productive shopping day

Eddas, ds is one of the innkeepers too. He told me he is the nice one and the others are grumpy ones I got him a costume from Tesco for £8. Basically its a shepherd, but its fine and will do the job AND he looks so cute in it!

NL, to your dh at finding a new and better job

Hi Oooggs, glad last night wasnt so bad, but at dh having to do another week of nights

Thats it, cant remember any more, apologies to anyone I have missed xxx

Ok folks...I know you like a laugh...so here's what happened to me today....

Last time my HV was round she made an appointment for this week. She wrote it down for me and said "See you on Tuesday". I didn't look at what she'd written...turns out it was for the 26th (i.e. Monday - today! not tuesday). So there's a knock on the door at 3.15pm. I answer it and she apologises for being late. I'm a bit cos not expecting her. Anyway, I'd been sitting on my arse on the computer, there was a dirty nappy on the floor waiting to be sorted out, Erin's toys are all over the place...but there was a WILLY shaped present on the sofa (for KHIN!!!! ). She saw it (a few other things there too) and said "Oh have you been shopping?" I just nodded. She was only here about 5 mins...then when she tried to leave I discovered I'd locked her in and had no idea where my keys were...luckily found them fairly quickly.

SPB - is it stupid of me to say that it doesnn't matter about the door beacuse you're moving ?

SOL - can I ask you to put your work type head on for a moment if you don't mind and tell me - notice 'cos you're being made redundant has to be in writing doesn't it - and could it be backdated? Dh hasn't had his yet - only the verbal discussion last week- compnay aren't very organised - and I wanted to check if they don't get their act in gear soon will they have to pay him partly into January?

Oooh yes NL, forgot about the move. Excellent timing then SPB

Norma, lol at willy shaped present!!

Ok, so I reappear and now everyone has buggered off

MJ, I am here! Are you no longer UnderWire?!!
How are you doing?

Nutty, absolutely pmsl at the willy shaped present! I would have been rofl.

NL, the Company will need to confirm in writing the conversation they had with your dh, and what is on offer re notice pay etc. It would be backdated to the date of the conversation. Hope that helps.

Forgotten everything else - muppet!

Hope you have all had a good day. All ok here.

Knackered and pissed off here. DD been fine all day so back to school tomorrow, thanks all who asked

Waiting for tonight with trev at 8 as its about Fran Lyon.

Baby crying better go.

nl - will benefit in pay but not in time off

nutty - at hv & willy presse

pesha - hope things are ok

dippy - you are not a moron

ellie - hope you had a safe trip home

mammyjo - no longer underwire

Erin is super fast crawling, can go from crawling to sitting to crawling again and can pull herself up to standing ds1 wasn't even moving at this age

Jack can now sit unaided and is slower at crawling but gets what he wants.

I am knackered chasing after them

Oooggs and KHIN really don't know how you two manage with two lots of teething/crawling etc. Hats off to you both

S is feeling a bit better today and has managed to continue with his early morning bf so I am feeling really pleased.
His eating/sleeping pattern had been thrown by this cold so I am going to rethink his day to fit in with the rest of us.

Have just about managed to finish my xmas shopping PHEWWWWEY
including my secret santa shopping

I'm also starting to try and sort myself out with diet/excercise. Enough is enough and I want to put my normal clothes back on now. I have also indulged in some of this stuff

stuff

No idea if it works (probably not) but it helps to motivate me with the diet and excercise regime. It has the weirdest sensation about five minutes after application!

Scottish mummies. I am thinking about having another coffee/mince pie morning just before christmas if anyone is intersted?

Bumble I hope that you have a wonderful holiday back in Oz.

Norma I loved the photos and those new nappies are so cute. I am very of the lovley girlie ones.

Hope it works Luce!

Absolutely ROFL @ NB's description of HV visit - willy present -

Sob.

"Nobody loves me, everybody hates me ......"

Hi folks.

Good luck Luce!

MJ, meant to say that K has had the cereal before, what she hadn't had was cow's milk with it before.

CD, get some rest my love!

Pesha, glad dd is better.

Forgotten everything else. Feel a bit queasy this evening, so am off to bed soon.

Hi SOL and CD

Hope that you both feel better soon.

ANTM is rubbish tonight

Has anyone else with older dcs found that EVERY time they got to put the baby into the car seat/highchair/bouncer etc that the harness has been done up????? Bizarre.

CD, no she's not my secret santa...she's my lesbian lover for the xmas meet-up

HO HO HO!!

BUMBLE

I've done a wizz round in my sleigh and whipped the elves into shape early and put your secret santa pressie in the post for you today. Hope that you get it before you head off to Oz.

OOOOOOOOH, Norma - Steady on, laydeeee!

Yes, yes, yes Luce - totally weird - also stuffed toys strapped into car seat / pram / high chair etc etc ....

LOL @ SSFB

HO HO HO!!

It's funny being on here and you all not knowing who I am!

I'm going back to Lapland before I give the game away...

Night Night xx

Night night sSfB x

We get the levitating Baby annabelle here- I turn around and there's baby Annabelle in the feeding chair, turn my back for a minute and then she's in the baby entertainer...spooky.

Dd also keeps sitting in the feeding chair and fastening herself in then realising for the 50th time that she can't undo the catch - cue "mummmeeee I'm stuuuuccckkk!"

Scottish mince pies sounds great, Luce.

Have emailed you Liath

Very of the scottish mince pies - yum!

Should be underwire, but forgot that I name changed so that I could see the pics of the meet up the other day. As UW I wasnt allowed through the door

And the secret santa for bumble wasnt me! I havent even decided what to buy yet never mind send it. My recipient will have to wait a little longer Ooohhh, the suspense
