Hey ladies;

Managed to run for 15 minutes tonight...13 miles will be a breeze

Hey Luce

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 20:02

Hiya GMM!

Well done on going out for a run in this hideous weather you are one brave lady

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 20:03
geordiemacminx · 18/01/2008 20:05

Och you deserve a treat - I have a little bottle of Rose in the fridge!

Hiya Oooggs

oooggs · 18/01/2008 20:30

hey Luce - how are you 4 gorgeous dears? haven't had photos for ages

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 20:33

Two out of four have been ratbags today
DD1 explained that her and DD2 "got ouf of bed on the wrong side so it was really their faults"

How are your three?

I can email you some photos if you like

oooggs · 18/01/2008 20:39

yes I would love to see how they have grown, bless them - saying it was their fault

the dts have just 'found' each other and talk and play together - and E makes J laugh . DS1 has his moments but he is fantastic with his brother & sister.

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 20:50

The Dts sound so cute ooggs finding each other.
Older brothers/sisters are so great to watch with the younger ones. B is now trying to play with S but doesnt understand why S doesnt answer him back and join in 'the game'
Yahoo is being Slllllllllllooooooooooowwwwwwww but I am attempting to send photos to you.

runnyhabbit · 18/01/2008 21:00

Evening All

Dh still not home and a bit he got roped into helping someone on another site for an "easy" job, 'cept it wasn't and is taking him ages

Although, his boss has said he can get a takeaway on the company

I've added a few more pics on profile - some of them from J was a baby. In some pics they look so much alike (even though W has darker colouring)

runnyhabbit · 18/01/2008 21:03

HLM The boys play really well together. I can honestly say, they really do adore each other, so I'm making the most of it

J is funny when W starts playing with one his favourite toys. He just says "mine" takes it off him, but then goes and gets W something else. Bless him

runnyhabbit · 18/01/2008 21:03

hiya oogs and luce

is the bar open.....

Sexonlegs · 18/01/2008 21:06

Runny, I can't see your pics.

oooggs · 18/01/2008 21:08

I can't see any photos on your profile

S is getting big Luce but aren't they all it goes so fast, B looks so angelic and the girls are so pretty

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 21:08

Hi Runny and SOl
I cant see your pictures either runny.

Want a beer?

Sexonlegs · 18/01/2008 21:09

Hi Luce and Oooggs. Hope you are both well.

Quiet here tonight.

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 21:09

Thankyou ooggs

oooggs · 18/01/2008 21:14

yes it is quiet - just tried to find a recent photo of ds2 or even me and I can't

hotlipsmummy · 18/01/2008 21:15

Evening all. DH is out tonight and I am bored and restless... although not enough to empty the dishwasher and reload with all the supper things .

Am struggling with a new nickname - am trying to think about somehing to do with my surname - Cross - that isn't "Crossmum" as I'm not, well not very often ! Any suggestions from those much wittier than I gratefully received!!

RH - that's nice to hear. H is much the same with A and is VERY concerned about him crawling over the edge of the stairs (we don't have stair gates ). A does complain though if H takes a toy he particularly wants but can still be distracted by something else.

Had some good news this morning - some friends who have been trying for a baby forever (ended up with IVF) gave birth to a girl yesterday (well the wife did). Made me smile as they will make the most wonderful parents.

oooggs · 18/01/2008 21:18

nice to hear good news hotlips

just loaded a photo of dd - can't find one of the others!!!!

Sexonlegs · 18/01/2008 21:24

How about HotCrossBun in time for Easter!!

oooggs · 18/01/2008 21:24

ok just found ones of the boys too!!!!
