[iMustBeMad]

Some time in Jan, me wo, vio and another friend of ours. Lady night out... wine and food - lots of!!

Am feeling left out here, can I be honorary Scottish please?

I keep getting muddled, elsbells is my nickname at work!

aww SOL, you'll start me off again

can I, really?

although having said that, if I can lose the children I can fly to Glasgow for under £20

SOL - you have a fab fab xmas. x
IMBM - head north of the border to meet up with us.
GMM - night out sounds good. good luck with the tesco trip - u taking C with you??
EB - glad you had a nice baby free lunch. u at garscube yesterday?

Just a quick post to say hi so I can find the latest thread quickly

you're on

hi elkie

OMG
Glasgow prestwick, return flight inc taxes on a tuesday afternoon/wednesday afternoon
£15

Merry Christmas SOL

Count me in GMM - sounds completely fab - hardly been out at all at night. Fly up IMBM!!

WO - AA came with us for lunch - she was SO well behaved - a wee dream. Think some of the boys were thinking it might not be so bad to have a little person after all...

Sorry forgot to say not at garscube yesterday - I did have a baby free lunch though as s was off on hols and I met a friend that is due her 2nd baby in Jan.

A friend visited today and brought a present for Matthew, and gave him a card with £20 in . He said he didn't get Joe anything because he really didn't know what to get, so I said to Matthew that the money was to share with Joe, which he was more than happy with. (is an old boss of mine by the way, nothing romantic there at all!). While we were in town this afternoon I let Matthew look for what he'd like to buy. He is now the proud owner of a set of Fireman Sam Walkie Talkies. I have just deafened myself speaking into one with the other at my ear

SOL, prob too late but when T had his bug the dr said that he might have...unpleasant...nappies for a while, but showing no other symptoms. They smelt like raspberries, which were my favourite fruit!
Hope you have a good Christmas!
NGT, can understand why you are remaining a mystery even though the suspense is too much for me So glad you're feeling happier. If you're having aChristmas with no alcohol you need to indulge some other way so you still feel spoilt!
Better go, stinky nappy racing out of room, back soon

imbm hope your ear is feeling better

Morning I ate the polar bear anyway as was being an Aplha Octopus.

NGT - happy to support you through these first tricky weeks - I would say it seems so long ago but it doesn't! No alcohol a bummer though - we can send you virtual glasses of bubbly
CHEERS CHEERS CHEERS

IMBM - hope you get your car sorted soon

If I don't make it back before christmas have a very very very fab time!

Dylan is ever so pporly bless him. Seems to have a cough and a cold but think he may have got an ear/nose/throat infection of some sort. Has been screaming lots this afternoon which isnt like him at all, obviously distressd/in pain cry and leaning himself to the side at times. Can also feel his chest bubbling as he breaths and he has slight temp. He fell asleep at 3ish on DP, we went to tesco to get more calpol and ended up getting some xmas food stuff and D slept all round there, woke up for about 10 mins when we got home then fell asleep on dp again, I put him down a bit before 5 and he's still asleep now! Its unknown for him to sleep this much. Poor baby, he's had lots of colds and things but never been like this before, will take him dr tomorrow.

Hoping he stays asleep though as dp is working 6 - 12 tonight (was supposed to be midnight tonight til 6 tomorrow am but he managed to convince boss to let him work tonight instead) and I still have a mountain of wrapping to do. Waiting for M and N to fall asleep atm.
