"Little fuckers who do this should be lined up and shot with a ball of their own shit."

Slightly longer than planned, and 24 hours late but ther you have it!

Morning Hotlips!!

oh cd that would be such great news, can't wait to find out for sure. how exciting!

Octo - how fab to have another night all the way through although I guess the wine has somewhat dampened the benefits? lol

elkie - yes I am a bit impulsive with my hair. It most definitely does NOT always pay off but well, once it's cut it's too late! It's only hair. (HA! As if I've really believed that as I've sat crying at my butchered reflection in the rearview mirror outside a hairdresser's ). My hairdresser kind of does what he wants no matter what you ask for so a great deal of trust is required. and has resulted in me 'leaving' him for periods. But I always go back. It's like a codependant relationship, really.

Thanks CD for your compliment but I assure you many photos were taken to get a couple that didn't make me look cross eyed. Seriously, I never realised I had such a tendency to look cross eyed now I just need to practice constantly holding those poses towards anyone who looks at me, from any angle.. and that's me. and i think that's the first (and last) time anyone has used 'petite' in relation to me. Am 5'7" and over here that's practically a giant.

Have such a fuzzy head this morning, I feel hungover. Got up 3 times between 12pm-2am and dh didn't even notice. I actually could have murdered him. I told him this morning I had such evil thoughts about him last night. when N went off again at 3am I just kicked him and said 'it's YOUR TURN'. didn't hear him my ass yeah right.

sorry elkie forgot to say about your blanket, it is so awful to lose something of sentimental value, I hope you find it.

Lol @ your co-dependant relationship with your hairdresser, Maveta - My hair always looks exactly the same after it has been cut, just shorter - doesn't matter how "butchered" it gets, it just looks the same!! I meant Petite as in "slim", not referring to your height - and you are gorgeous!

about the baby blanket, Elkie - really hope it hasn't been taken and turns up soon. xx

Lol Maveta at the new haircut. Get your priorities right eh love .

Haircut is fantastic, I was considering a "Katie" and bottled it at the last minute. Your new do is fab and congrats on taking the leap.

Dippy, will email link and write up on the book, any other takers, Elkie?? It is really very thought provoking I guess and slightly different to the average Mills & Boon. Let me know what you guys think??
cfvg n

T's typ2ing.

He's just broken the escape key. DAMN.

Octo supply teaching sounds good. Have considered teaching if I ever pull my finger out, but am alas somewhat lacking in the patience department , why I suppose is a pre-requisite.

Forgotten anything else, all I can think about is Mave2t1wsza's (Mavetas's) new haircut !!

LOL @ T's typing! Looking forward to recieving the email, Pinions!

Slightly sidetracked by the haircut!

Dippy - - possibility of pregnancy!! And new job sounds good, do spill the beans .

Did I mention great haircut Mav !!

morning folks. just posting so i can find you in a while!

hi everyone
Dippy and
elkie, really hope it turns up, would be so annoying if like you say it was grabbed, worthless to anyone elae, priceless to you
better go, T squeaking

morning WO!

Ooooh, your bro's book looks really interesting and quite controversial too! Do I get a signed copy!!!?

Have posted on the job hunt thread (link below) about potential job - just applied for another one as - PA / secretarial for local company, home-working - hope they will 'phone me back!!

Just read the bit at the bottom of the link you sent me about about sending the cheque directly to you bro etc ... might do that ....

Pinions, yes, I'd be interested in hearing about your brother's book, sorry, missed earlier refs to it.

Thanks all for the sympathy, I feel really upset by the possibility and stupid for getting so upset about it.

Muat set off to swimming now, think I'm going to have to disturb my sleeping baby, hope he doesn't get too distressed. He was awake for quite a while last night so both dp and I are shattered, and dp is at work tomorrow too. It's probably not helping me to be rational.

Dying to know what the book is about?
Dippy, are you going to test, or is it a bit soon?

I don't think you are stupid at all, Elkie - I get v.v.v.upset when things that are special to me get mislaid, let alone potentially stolen. Enjoy swimming. xx

AF is due early part of next week, so will wait for then and then test - I hope I am! Pretty nervous too though ....

oh good luck dippy - bet that wait will seem really long! hope it flies by xx

Elkie - not at all, I don't have many sentimental things like that but what I do have, I hold dear and it's very hard to think 'oh it's just a ...' you're not stupid/silly at all. just hope you're being absentminded and find it somewhere hidden away.

Pinions - did you see my new haircut then? I think I must win something for one most able to stir up a storm in a teacup over a new 'do? no? I really didn't mean for it to become such a 'LOOK AT ME AND MY NEW HAIR AND TELL ME I'M BEEEEEYOOOOTIFUL YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO' kind of thang. Honest.

(don't let that put any of the rest of you who have not yet commented off.)
....
I'M JOKING! I swear I am not actually that vain.

ooh how exciting dippy, I'll clear my diary so can do nothing but MN next week

well that was easy
elkie, I don't think you're being stupid, as Dippy says it's upsetting when sentimental things get mislaid, to think it might have been grabbed at the last minute to wrap stolen stuff in is worse
Off to look at the haircut maveta!

No, of course you didn't my dear Maveta .

T has in the last few seconds done :

THE MOST STINKIEST POO YET . Flipppin heck. His poor bum.

Very nice!
I love the one of N - is he sucking a carrot?

Guess you liked the email then Katy .

Off to change the stink machine.

.

MAVETA I LOVE YOUR NEW HAIRCUT .

email?
Funny you should say that as I as going to ask if I could have the award for the pooiest april baby, this morning, a great big stinky one just before breakfast, and the same again afterwards! Would apologise for TMI but I don't think it qualifies!
off to check email

Wow, looks really interesting! See what you mean about the similarity to Milss & Boon What else has he written?
BTW, what was your news? Have you said it and I've just missed it?

and from the smell heres a 3rd stinky nappy
think his mouth is connected directly to his bum, nothing in between

Afternoon ladies

Maveta, your hair is fab! Tres elegant.

Dippy, hope you get the result you want on both the job and pg front.

Elkie, really hope you find the blankets, and the to**ers haven't taken them. I have to say that when my parents were burgled, they used a pillowcase to put all the stuff in. Mum and Dad had mis-matching pillows for ages, as mum couldn't find a new duvet set that she liked as much!

Aye up Pinions. How's stinky boy?

Hi everyone else!!

All ok here. Ange and Izzy came over this morning which was lovely. Izzy is in to everything, and really sociable which is great.

The worst poo by far, dodgy tummy. Nice.

My news. Yesterday had a minor operation. Very very vague possibility of pregnancy. Work has made the ultimate cock up with regards to my return to work. Long story and the biggest nightmare in living history.

Er, that's it.

I think Maveta's new haircut has taken the crowning glory in the news stakes today. Sorry Mav will back down now .
