Hi UD!

I wondered where you were, didn't realise you were moving. F is a nightmare climber too, he had a long nap today and I went upstairs when I heard knocking and he's climbed oout of the cot and was just knocking on the door calling me.

RGee · 11/01/2008 20:32

Hi UD! Hope you're settling in well.

Happy birthday to Ethan. Jodie, hope you're ok.

Happy birthday to J for tomorrow Wilkie. As I have said, all the best people have birthdays tomorrow. Ahem.

May not be around on Sunday, so happy birthday to E too Vino. Hope all goes well with the christening and look forward to hearing all about it (am sure it will be a fab day)

Have I mentioned it's my birthday tomorrow?? (Thanks for the heads up on that Lizz). Off out in the evening for beers and a curry with DH and a few mates. Pip is staying chez grandparents. Will not mention however how old I will be, but suffice to say the 40's will be closer than the 20's

Eah I hope your (potential) RSI is nothing to do with the amount of mnetting

Wilkie · 11/01/2008 20:32

EAH - dunno about RSI but I know that I (and I think Lizz) have had joint probs since having LOs. Mine was my wrist up until about 2 months ago, my knee and my ankle. Really ache and sometimes very painful. Cod Liver Oil and Glucosamine supposed to be excellent, plus I wear a Trion Z bracelet www.trionz.co.uk/ which not only helps with joint pain but is fantastic for fatigue too - makes me feel all buzzy which is great after months of ADs knackering me out

Balloons and banners are up! My boy is gonna be 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eandh · 11/01/2008 20:43

Am off to investigate that link cheers

I think it has something to do with work, as for 10 years I have been counting banknotes almost continously for 7 hours a day I mainly use my thumb and forefinger if counting large bundles and if I move them in the same action as counting notes it hurts

Happy birthday Rgee I am very of your night out (was hinting at il's if they fancied having e and h soon and I and said it would be lovely if we had a chance to recharge our batteries, FIL got the wrong idea and phoned to offer to get the new battery dh's car needs????????????)

OP posts:
laughalot · 11/01/2008 21:44

Oh just a quick post IM ALWAYS BUSY !!!!

Ud glad you are back with us
Happy birthday to Ethan
Happy birthday rgee for tomorrow
Little j happy 1st birthday did your mummy get my card ?
Eah thanks again mate for the pressies even though someone tried to steal then . Cant text at mo need some credit.

bunnyhunny · 11/01/2008 21:46

happy birthday ethan.
sorry I was late posting it

vinorouge · 12/01/2008 04:12

E&H - psml at FIL ringing to offer to get the new battery!!!!!

Wilkie - Give J a birthday kiss from me and Ellen. Hope you have a lovely time celebrating.

Rgee - Happy Birthday to you too !!!Am sure you will ENJOY your night out tonight You doing anything next Sat? DH working so E and I could pop over to see you in the afternoon. Stroll in the park maybe??

Had a manic day yesterday - Ellen woke at 4.30 (think cos it was we'd left heating on overnigth so her room was boiling)she wouldn;t settle so she and I got up. She napped before going to nursery but I didn't...then had to fit in taking car to get brakes and tyres checked at kwikfit before mot/servicenext week, then friends called round with stuff for E's birthday, DH home, tea, sainsburys to shop for next week so I got home at 9.10 shattered. Decided better to go to bed than drive to mums tired so plan was to go at 7am but E woke at 2.30 and I AM WIDE AWAKE AGAIN. AAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH I wish I didn;t get so awake so quickly. If I'd gone to mums lastnight I could have been doing useful things there....instead I am surfing aimlessly online.

LTH/Lizz - I would love to live by the sea one day. Lizz hope you enjoyed your fish and chips

UD - Welcome back !!! Zac sounds more advneturous than Ellen. She is inquisitive but not climbing on/out of stuff, more looking than doing iykwim. Hope you get sorted in new house soon. i must check out how easily we can move our broadband actually......

Susie - if you're about hope your hand is feeling a bit less sore and that DH is there is kiss it better now

Lizzzombie · 12/01/2008 07:44

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RGEE! (21 again!)

Vino - hope you managed to get back to sleep for a bit - you poor thing x

Wilkie - My joint problem was caused by excessive waving in both wrists to the baby...divvy me!

Fish n chips was DIVINE!
Off to work ... pants ... bring on the babies and ULTRA PRECIOUS MOTHERS TO BE! (had a nightmare one last week who was in our very small shop for the best part of 2 hours deciding which theme to buy for her nursery and complaining about how we didnt have all the bits for her to look at and touch. I had to walk away as I couldnt serve her she was sooooo annoying, so she complained I hadnt helped her....she couldnt make her mind up!!! How was I supposed to help her. Freak) anyway...sweetness and light...thats me! x

2happy · 12/01/2008 14:15

HULLLOOOOOOOO!

Happy Birthday to all the babes, and RGee too. Hope you all had/are having good days.

Missed so much, have read it all but forgotten most of it!
Susie - hope your hand is feeling better, and hope dh makes it home soon.
Lal - hope your Dad gets his results soon
UD - glad the house move has gone ok, bet you're sick of unpacking now! Hope dh ok in his new job.
Jodie - either your friend has no compassion about what you're going through, or there's something else going on her end too - her reaction is totally over the top, harsh, nasty, uncalled for... I'm sorry you're feeling low, but with that little sleep, I'd find it hard to function at all, let alone look after 3 kids. I guess lo has to learn to self-settle, easier said than done!!
Canmummy - tell dh it is your right to use his computer!
Wilkie - PMSL at the pg thing!

Well we had a lovely holiday. ds1 was surprisingly good with his sleeping (except on the first night when he fell out of bed twice until we put the mattress on the floor), ds2 was rubbish though! Was just nice to get time off. Back to reality on monday though .

MrsCarrot · 12/01/2008 15:41

I only pressed that once

OP posts:
MrsCarrot · 12/01/2008 15:47

yes, Rgee, what do you think about Reggie as a name change?

Wilkie · 12/01/2008 18:19

Aw J had a lovely birthday!! It was brilliant this morning as Radio 1 read out his birthday announcement on Nehal's show at 8am. My mate heard it and rang me

He is absolutely worn out after waking at 5.30am and not sleeping ALL day. He mainly got money and a few odds and sods. We're doing it all again tomorrow at my mum's

Reggie is a cool name RGee - you should defo change it!

Jodie - how are you doing now (if you are about)?

eandh · 12/01/2008 18:23

few odd and sods and a lovely shirt

OP posts:
bunnyhunny · 12/01/2008 19:07

Happy Birthday RGEE and J!
Wilkie - did you do anything in particular, or did you have anice day at home?

susiecutiemincepies · 12/01/2008 21:49

hey all

Hope all the b-days are still going well. We had another party, well the only one really, today. Isobels little face lit up when we brought her out of her room and she saw pink ballons every where and 2 banners up!

We eventually had a lovely buffet kind of lunch, which evolved as i went along, kept finding nice things in the freezer we'd forgotten about so we all ate really well. Then we did the cake! She was SO stunned. I put it infront of her as we all sang and she just stared at each of us one by one, grinning from ear to ear! then the hand was plunged into the middle of her cake Such a lovely day, and guess what......... DH came home! he was only able to be here for a few short hours, but, such an effort from him, and it meant so much. he left in tears, bless him, he just didnt want to leave. We are going to go up to sunderland this week, fingers crossed to stay with him for some family time. Hate seeing him crying. very very rare. too.

Hope you are all well, and no-one has the tummy bugs going round. mum and a couple of friends have had a weird one, with terrible terrible cramps in the stomach and no runs or nausea, just horrific pain, then it goes... hope none of you are getting it.

Take care all

katwith3kittens · 12/01/2008 23:41

Hey Susie thats my neck of the woods ! in fact I was there this afternoon at the dryski slope as DS1 is having some lessons...he kept laughing when people fell over... what a rude boy !

Hope your DH is not working too hard, but it looks like he really wanted to be there. Enjoy your family time next week. Sunderland is a funny old place.. hope you are in a nice bit

So the birthdays are coming in thick and fast now, hope everyone has had / is going to have a lovely day.

Gosh... all these walkers and climbers... LO is still a crawler and long may it last

laughalot · 13/01/2008 10:15
