Meet Ups
We were thinking of multiple meet-ups on same day in May to celebrate birthdays????
NEED TO PROGRESS THIS
Ellie wants to come to Scotland on Feb 15th if they'll have her???

Funny stuff
It was decided that MN is constructive
SPB asked "does it get easier as they get older?" (still pmsl at that one )

Also worthy of note
Octo had more wine leading to this quote -
"Fuck it, bugger working and going to supply and have 4 more children ..."

There were excellent language skills on display in the Liath household .....
"A recent conversation at my sister's house went thus:
Dd - I'm going to bugger off the cat, Mummy.
Me - I beg your pardon?
Dd - I'M GOING TO BUGGER OFF THE CAT MUMMY!
Me -
Dd - Bugger off cat!!
Cat -
I must stop using foul language"

A collaberation between Mr Dippy and NL came up with this new 'lullaby'.....
"Some naughty children didn't go to bed,
Along came a goblin and chopped off their heads.
Their poor parents started to weep,
Because the naughty children wouldn't go to sleep!"
"The naughty children bewailed their fate
But alas and alack it was all too late
The Goblin scarpered, quick as could be
So listen MY naughty children, go to sleep for ME!"

Pesha (or should that be Peesha ) got fed up of not being able to say her own name correctly and has changed it to Mashanapedyjo (Masher for short) thanks to Octo!

I'm here and the 'exam' is over so dh took us all out for dinner. Dcs all in bed (eventually) and that is where I am heading to catch up on the last two really bad nights (not just bad - which are usual). Have fun and not too much chatting

PillockOfTheCommunity · 23/01/2008 20:21

there's no one here except me

OP posts:
AngeG · 23/01/2008 20:24

Great catch up

I must say nothing interesting as I've not been included in either of the catch ups Either that or POTC doesn't like me

GMM what have you got pierced?

Someone was asking about Smole and Jesse the other day...I think SPB, anyway have had a text from her saying

"All fine. Jess had bronchilitus & lost weight but he's fine now. Still tiny just 16lbs! Doing great otherwise."

AngeG · 23/01/2008 20:25

OOOhhhh freaky the last post on the thread was 666!!

NorthernLurker · 23/01/2008 20:29

Evening all - great summary POTC -bit worrying to see all the work hassles in black and white as it were - I will be popping in to have a chat with my work soon - think it should all be ok....

Ange - B is on the 25th centile - and as I'm quite sure I weigh several ton more than you I think that makes us and our babies nicely in proportion!

Maveta - poor N - poor you

Dippy - how did the form go? Soory to read it's not quite what you'd been led to believe - still this migt be the door that opens other doors?

KHIN - hello to you - sorry things are so hard - is there any light at the end of the tunnel?

SPB - T looks gorgeous!!!

Ok but tiring day here. Toddler group this am, then a bit of shopping - Gap have reduced stuff to the lowest of the low so got all three girls something - B has a furry waistcoat - so cute! Then had to walk to the postal depot to collect a parcel for dd2 - and then back to school - and then home.
Off to eat curry shortly......

geordiemacminx · 23/01/2008 20:33

I could tell you but I would have to kil you Ange

I'm here, just finished mountain of ironing.

Anyone watching Relocation?

NorthernLurker · 23/01/2008 20:34

could do - is it good? I wanted to thump the woman they had on last week!

AngeG · 23/01/2008 20:38

No no I don't want to die, but I do want to know I'm so nosey Well done on the ironing, I hate ironing!

Not watching relocation is it good?

NL - Furry waistcoat sounds lovely, pics?? MMM curry! Dh away tonight, can't think of anything decent to eat so having flying saucers!

CaptainDippy · 23/01/2008 20:38

Fab thread summary, Pillock - Absolutely ROFL @ me jumping into bed with anyone that offers me a Kinder Egg and that I "StickyKeys" (perhaps I dribbled Kinder Egg onto them!!? )

Yes, what have you got pierced, GMM!!

geordiemacminx · 23/01/2008 20:40

It wasnt really a case of getting anything pierced, more re-piercing, myself, with a needle?

geordiemacminx · 23/01/2008 20:41

Its hexham, where I was born, well it was, they are darn sarf now

AngeG · 23/01/2008 20:41

GMM spill!!

NorthernLurker · 23/01/2008 20:42

eeeeeek (NL faints - she's Not Good with pierced anything)

CaptainDippy · 23/01/2008 20:44

Intrigued .....

geordiemacminx · 23/01/2008 20:46

I took it out so I could b/f, re-pierced it myself last night

NorthernLurker · 23/01/2008 20:48

Sorry Ange can't find a pic - basically it's brown and soft with a ribbon tie across the chest - she is going to look like the cutest, cuddliest little bear in it (NL slaps self round face as going into gooooooogly mode) - on a more pragmatic note - it was reduced to £1.99!

NorthernLurker · 23/01/2008 20:48

Ok thanks GMM - passing out here - eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

CaptainDippy · 23/01/2008 20:49

With a peircing needle or just with an old sock darner??

geordiemacminx · 23/01/2008 20:49

D'ya want me to post a pic? Do ya?? Do ya????

CaptainDippy · 23/01/2008 20:50

That was for NL

geordiemacminx · 23/01/2008 20:51

Just a normal sewing needle - I didnt have a darning needle - to be fair the whole was already there, just needed to open it a bit

CaptainDippy · 23/01/2008 20:51

How distasteful GMM

I was thinking it was your "you know what" for a wee while, you know - sort of relieved it's just your nip.

NorthernLurker · 23/01/2008 20:51

Oh come on - I just pick myself up off the floor and reach for the mouse thinking it was all a dream - but no. I'm really Not Good with pierced anything - why do you think I didn't want earrings at Christmas

2HotCrossBunnies · 23/01/2008 20:52

GMM - ow! I have had to re-pierce my ears previously and that bloody hurt!! How did you find Relocation? I agree that I could have slapped the woman from last week, spoilt madam! And I live in Battersea/Clapham which is "nappy valley" and its IMPOSSIBLE not to make friends here as there's SO much mum and baby stuff going on!

Anyway, not much intersting here. DH is out tonight so just loitering about the house. Need to do some washing... too bored to do it!

NorthernLurker · 23/01/2008 20:53

Can I have another slap Dippy - feeling a bit woozy again - the hole was there you just opened it up a bit....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek (thump - as NL hits the floor again!)
