"When I was younger (ahem) I was a kind of girl who went out for one drink, got trollied, met a nice bloke, snogged him and accidentally shagged him! I never went out solely for that purpose but it happened ooh now and then Tried it with dh when we first met but he said he wanted to wait oh the shame "

J met the new girlfriend today, I hated it.

new photos on my profile, have found a cage playpen that would be ideal for the little sods darlings, shame it's meant for dogs!

PESHA IS VERY PISSED

she rang me (on the phone to me now actually......

and has only tonight realised that I'm not in her recent calls list (that would be because she has never ever called me )

WO, that's a really sweet offer, what does it look like?

I still think that if I can manage the learning curve to make my own for D it would be something positive out of this.

I also have several other little things going wrong - an expensive new airer I bought to replace the old one which had fallen apart, that we use to hang towels on, has collapsed. I plan to complain but I had it delivered and it's not really feasible for me to get it to John Lewis - either Oxford Street or Brent Cross - by public transport.

Actually, I've just had a thought, I have to plan some time when I take Danny to his childminders in the next few weeks, as a practice before he goes there full time, I can't sit at home missing him and I can't really do baby group stuff without him, can I?

And I've lost D's buggy raincover. I think I might have left it in the swimming pool changing rooms but unless I can get someone on the phone by Monday will probably just buy a replacement. Have phoned a local shop in Wood Green which sells them for £15, not really much more than ebay and would resolve it quickly. Am gettting nervous now because I know it's a bad sign when I start forgetting things like that.

Elkie - what bad luck that they have taken the blanket. Fwiw I think it would be a great idea for you to make a replacement one yourself, if you need any help feel free to ask (I'm a bit of an expert knitter/sewer but please don't tell anyone ).

What complete tossers taking a baby blanket.

pinions

Just one of my many talents .

Baby awake.........

I'm sober me. Yes siree I am. As a judge. yep.

nope, you are not

back from the Indian - lovely meal, great company............... please let them sleep well tonight.........mummy has had half a bottle of wine

Half a bottle of wine is nuffin!

she's been on sloe vodka
or at least, she thinks she has, she didn't actually ask what the liquid in the unmarked bottle the man she barely knew was pouring from was

his name was deano and he called me shag - proper west country greeting that! 1 bottle had some sort of campari thing and the other was sloe something. I drank it like wine (and aswell as wine) so yes maybe a tiddly bit tiddly

A tiddly bit tiddly

Hello

Fingers crossed for you ooggs, thanks for the offer pinions.

D has woken up, but dp is up with him at the moment, but I can hear sobs, think I should look in and see what's happening.

Hello Ange and elkie and anyone else

pish off

Hi Pesha, good evening then?

morning! quiet night on here last night? We had another rough one, 3rd night in a row that N has had a temp although last night it came down pretty quickly and didn´t go back up. And snotty as anything and not sleeping at all in the day and with much trouble and only for 2 hours or so at a time through the night. Apart from that though during the day he is his normal happy (albeit very snotty) self. Seems right as rain now. Doc first thing monday morning though I think just to get him checked over.

dh has got tendonitis in his shoulder which flares up about once a year and means he can´t move his arm at all so he´s feeling very sorry for himself and useless on top of it

Today is the blessing for Sant Antoni which was on thursday. Today they bless all the pets that people bring to the square and the kids dress up as devils so of course we have a big family meal to attend but it´s a beautiful sunny day and it´s a bbq so will be really nice.

So yeah, in the spirit of today, Bless all your furry friends!

morning
right off to have a coffee while he's asleep and I am not

Oooggs, gad you had a good night out.

Hi everyone else. Hope all is well.

We had a lovely meal out last night with friends, and not a word from the dd's for our friend who was looking after them.

Plans for today?
