I did post it earlier and this is what I would really like. I have been a really really good girl and have written my letter to Santa so..................

James, Erin & Jack be good to mummy and sleep a full night on Christmas Eve especially as it is my birthday .

Infact all those special yummy April 07 (March & May) sleep well and help us throught the pissed festive season.

Hurrah!! We love ya IMBM...hope you have a fab time shopping!

Rushing around all day, now trying to gather some enthusiasm for going out to work's do. Can't be arsed to get changed out of wooly-pully and tatty jeans and put some slap on. Too cold. Can't be arsed. Want to stay here and put my jim-jams on, have a takeaway and drink wine.

God I am an old farty.

Idreamofchocolate · 20/12/2007 18:58

Oh yes, and welcome EB. I was Emmymummy if you're looking at the stats thread. My dd2 was 10 days late too, very tardy these April babies (so tardy she ended up being born on May 5th).

DippyChristmas · 20/12/2007 19:23

Yes Eddas, that's right - P was an April baby by 1 hour and 9 minutes - so I still lay claim to the title of last April baby on the thread!

Hope IMBM's had fun shop shop shopping!!

Going out for games and nibbles with friends in a bit so just popping in to see all and sundry!! [sfsmile]

Have just had a text from Ellie - she has had a car accident She is ok and walking about and the boys were not in the car which is really lucky. The car however is upside down so must have been pretty nasty. Someone stopped to help her and her uncle is with her now sorting things out for her.

She hasnt said much more not surprisingly as I imagine she's pretty shaken up.

Oh and the shopping wasn't in the car so thats all ok too!

Was going to say I canmt believe the run of bad luck she is having but actually seems alot of good luck waqs on her side too for her to be ok and not have kids there.

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 20/12/2007 19:56

oh no! please please pass on my hopes for a speedy recovery - even if she thinks she is ok she MUST go to gp/a&e to be checked!

notgoodtiming · 20/12/2007 20:04

just touching base, seeing doctor tomorrow, have been feeling sick and more tired than usual also that horrible feeling of when you cough worrying that you are going to wet yourself (should have concentrated on that pelvic floor more!)

things are starting to look more positive, will keep you up to date

thanks for the support x

ellesbelles · 20/12/2007 20:14

Fpesha thanks ? I found the thread again ? hopefully get the hang of it soon!

JO, DC, RRNRD, EPB, APIAPTree, SOL, NL, IDOC and anyone else I?ve missed out - thanks for the welcome

Hi GMMP great that you are here too! How are plans for Xmas going? Yep seems I am now on the dark side ? but couldn?t do without that amazing woman wee onion. As some of my male friends might say ? she is the ?dogs?.

Hi Elkiedee, fellow prima wotsit. Not trying for more yet, as I am as fat as a Christmas turkey after the last one, so hoping to lose some of the lard next year and try for another towards the end of the year or early 2009, see how it goes tho? what about you ? planning more?

EBP ? sorry re initials ? should I change my name to something more Christmassy like Xmasellesbelles?

So everyone with more than one wee person ? what?s it like having more than one? Mental or fine because you?ve done it all before?

elkiedee · 20/12/2007 20:14

Poor Ellie, another car accident . Doesn't that mean replacing car seats again?

geordiemacminxpie · 20/12/2007 20:36

EB - Cant belive you are 37 btw..... I thought you were late 20's!!!!!

Poor Ellie - hope she is ok.

ElfPolarBear · 20/12/2007 20:57

Oh no poor Ellie, glad she is OK, that's the main thing but hope she doesn't have too much trouble getting the car sorted over Christmas
ngt good luck tomorrow, glad you're feeling more positive

Pehsa, thanks for letting us know.

IDOC, hope you enjoy your work do. Pmsl at your lack of enthusiasm. Ikwym tho, especially when it is so cold.

Caz, we had a lovely time at the farm. B fed ducks, looked for eggs and held a bunny. We were going to feed the goats, but our number came up to see Father Christmas in his "grotto"!

Hope everyone is ok. All ok here.

NorthernLurkerwithastarontop · 20/12/2007 22:00

I'm really going to miss those little hats when Christmas is over - is it too early to be saying that?

ellesbelles · 20/12/2007 22:01

Sexmasonlegs · 20/12/2007 22:01

EB, pmsl! In a nice way of course !

NGT, meant to say, I hope tomorrow's appointment goes ok; will be thinking of you.
