hotlipsmummy · 18/01/2008 21:31

Oooh love HotCrossBun, SOL. Actually that's what we used to call DS1 when I was pg with him with "InTheOven" added on!

Now how do I name change...

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 21:31

Thats lovely news HLM

DD looks gorgeous ooggs! S still wont crawl.

I have been looking at vintage (well 70s and 80s) toys in ebay. It always makes me smile.
DH is watching the rugby

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 21:33

Oooggs, is that DS2 siting on the lion toy?

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 21:37

hi everyone
tired tonight
how is everyone?

runnyhabbit · 18/01/2008 21:38

Ok

My computer is going soooo sllloooow

but I think you should be able to see them now

2HotCrossBunnies · 18/01/2008 21:40

Name change done! HotCrossBun and HotXBun both gone and decided HotXMum looked like a porn name!!

Oooggs your children are v. cute. I love the idea of twins but am very sure I would not even remotely cope with the reality!!

weeonion · 18/01/2008 21:43

evening folks! quick post before i watch pop britannica.
how are we all doing??

C's 1st tooth has cut through - at long last! i didnt even think she was teething - and was rubbing her gums and in the middle of saying to a pal that she showed no signs when i felt the sharp edges! neglectful mum!!
ooggs - my wee bro & sis are twins. i remember when they first "found" each other as well. so so cute. we cold just park them in front of each other and they'd be giggling for hours! still a bit like that at 22. i also remember when wee sis realised that her twin had a penis and she didnt. that often gets recalled at family gatherings!

SOl - HR guru that you are. if i am on annual leave and hand in a sick line - do i lose my annual leave??

what we all got planned for the weekend??

runnyhabbit · 18/01/2008 21:46

all that effort to put new photos on my profile and you've all buggered off left me

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 21:48

Runny your boys are adorable

Yeah to first tooth Weeonion

Eddas · 18/01/2008 21:50

lovely photos everyone

ds still doesn't have any teeth

I should have done some work this evening but i've been too lazy busy to do it.

Sexonlegs · 18/01/2008 21:58

Runny, lovely pics of your lovely fellas!!

2HCB, glad you liked the name change suggestion!

Hi WO, re your query, I think it varies from company to company tbh. Our policy is that if someone is signed off by a GP whilst they are on annual leave, we do not deduct the holiday. has your company got an absence policy?

Sexonlegs · 18/01/2008 21:59

K has no teeth either!!!!

runnyhabbit · 18/01/2008 22:02

thank you

I'm making the most of them being mega cute, because in a few years time, I think its going to be mayhem here

Lucewits · 18/01/2008 22:07

I still have my one of these

How scary do they look these days?

Fluppy

Eddas · 18/01/2008 22:17

i've just been on boots website and found bargins but even though i clicked 'only in stock' items when i checked out it says they're all out of stock ridiculous. Ho hum, least i didn't spend money we don't have I guess

CaptainDippy · 18/01/2008 22:31

Ridiculous indeed, Eddas

Evening - I've just been on the 'phone to NorthernLurker for 2 1/2 hrs!!!!! She was most helpful with job interview info / practice and she is lovely indeed!

How is everyone??

NorthernLurker · 18/01/2008 22:45

Shush Dippy you're making me ! However for all those out there who were convinced Dippy was a hairy handed tuck driver called Dave - she appears not be - was lovely and interviewed BRILIIANTLY!
Of course I've lost all feeling in my arm from holding the phone.....

Bit knackered now so off to bed shortly I think - rough night with B last night and she hasn't been well today so who knows what the wee small hours hold in store tonight Tomorrow we are going to look at a house - 'course we need to sell this one first......

CaptainDippy · 18/01/2008 22:51
  • Thanks NL and Goodnight - hope B is "good" for you tonight

DH is coaxing me to bed with a Kinder Egg .....

I shall succumb ....

Night ladies. xx

NorthernLurker · 18/01/2008 22:54

Talk about an offer you couldn't refuse.....

Night all

elkiedee · 18/01/2008 23:26

Goodnight to anyone heading off to bed. I probably should to as I'm really tired and dp has to be in for a 9 am shift tomorrow, so I need to get up and get myself organised before he has to leave the house.

elkiedee · 18/01/2008 23:27

Interesting methods of seduction in the Dippy household

Pesha · 19/01/2008 00:04

Hello Laydees

Runny - Sorry but Loled when I read your post earlier - I read it as ' and a bit that dh got Groped...'! Ahem sorry. Bugger he had to work on but yum to free takeaway!

StealthPolarBear · 19/01/2008 07:41

Morning

geordiemacminx · 19/01/2008 07:43

morning spb..How come its always us and our naughty boys that are here first on a weekend???

Maveta · 19/01/2008 07:47

runny that photo of you pregnant is hilarious! Doesn´t look like you put on an ounce anywhere else and the bump just grew straight out know what you mean about the face, many photos of me in late pregnancy show what I thought was a smile is actually much more of a grimace

N had a temperature of 39.5 last night but with stripping him down and cool sponging of his body we eventually got it down to 38 when we dosed him up with some ibuprofen and tucked him into bed with us. That was us awake from about 12am -1,30am but after that he more or less slept through til 8am (I think dh gave him more medicine at 4am but all very hazy re. whether I got up too!) so funnily enough not too bad a night. And he seems fine this morning

Well I have to move it because have to leave in 30mins to drop off N at my mum´s and go to an infant resus course. hope you all have a good day
