Heehee thought I'd start the new thread. there seemed to be a recurring theme from everyone's recent posts - hence the title.

Hope everyone's well and that you found us without too much trouble

Hi All - thanks for the HBs for Amber - she had a great day up here on the farm. We blew up some balloons and laid orut a nice spread on the table and sang HB to her. Once she got a piece of cake she was so not interested in pressies though M + D got her a 'help Mummy kit' - broom, dustpan and brush, mop and bucket. Silly me got the wrong batteried for her dance mat so she hasn't tried it yet

She so loves the animals - she has been helping my Dad to feed the sheep, ducks, chickens and cows and going on the quad with him. She adores the 'doggies' too. Eating like a horse with all the fresh air and walking

Happy Belated Birthday Samantha!

I'm on facebook too now - how do you 'find' people?

Take care allxxx

If you tell me your email I can add you like that. I can't post my email address because it contains my whole name! If you don't want to post your email address. We shall have to think of another way. Its easy just to search by name but I don't really want to put my whole name on here.

Gingeme · 08/10/2008 19:44

Oh it sounds just lovely wobblingweeble. How lovely to be near all those animals.
I can't wait for Edwards halloween do next week.
Hmmm not sure how you would do that though samsam.

samsmam · 08/10/2008 20:01

you should be able to find people in the search part of facebook by just adding peoples email address that is how I found you!?!

taffy101 · 08/10/2008 21:56

ooh, I've just put myself on facebook. I have 1 friend!!I've not looked for anyone off here on it yet. I don't know anyones email...

mines [email protected] if you want to befriend me! Not much on there atm. A few dodgy pics of me where I was trying to find a decent profile pic but I am spotty on all of them!

Happy Birthday to everyone I have misseed!

Ginge - i asked owen if he was being a terrible two the other day and he quite matter of factly said 'yes' and nodded enthusiastically! BTW i found some old wellies of dd's in the wardrobe to fit owen - they are blue not pink

Weeble - your place sounds idyllic, all that fresh air and such a stimulating enviroment for your kids. DD loves animals, She wants to work at Dogstrust when she grows up (she did want to be a vet, but people kept telling her she would have to work hard at school).

Blackpool was fun. Weather was gorgeous and we did donkey rides, funfair, trams and illuminations. DD declared that it was 'beautiful' and she wins quote of the month for wanting to buy some crap with her pocket money!

Gingeme · 19/10/2008 15:52

Hi babyducky
From eldest to youngest:
dh- Grim reaper
Me- witch
ds1- Devil
ds2- some sort of ghoul, mask and black cloak
ds3- devil
ds4 skeleton
ds5- devil
Didn't realise we had so many devils till I put the costumes altogether!
I bought some proper expensive face paints too. Gonna make a real effort.
Bought a large furry spider from Willows Farm last week. It was £5 but worth it
I even went to get my nails done on Friday (theyre arcrylic) and they are black with spiders and webbs on them. The guy did a realy good job on them.
On actual halloween I told my big boys they can go trick or treating if they behave themselves and take ds3 with them.

babyducky · 19/10/2008 22:32

wow gingeme that sounds brilliant!

Did you make all the costumes?

I love halloween!

Gingeme · 20/10/2008 12:51

Ha ha your joking aren't you? No all costumes curtosy of Asda or Tesco.

Gingeme · 22/10/2008 19:45

Hello!! Any more birthdays to report? hello hello. xx

babyducky · 24/10/2008 20:11

hope you all enjoy the party gingeme x

wobblingweeble · 26/10/2008 14:46

Hope you had a fabby birthday Edward! Hope all the other terrible twos are doing well - busy busy here as per usual. Ikea yesterday trying to get storage for toys etc and trying to organise house a tad.

xxxxx

Gingeme · 26/10/2008 17:40

Ah thankyou ladies. You are clever for remembering. Yes the party was fantastic if a little busy and hot. Edward got loads of great stuff. Loads of books and a fantastic Iggle Piggle proper size blanket for his bed.
We are all knackered today because of a disturbed night and losing an hour but hey thats parenthood for ya!

wobblingweeble · 29/10/2008 19:34

GINGEME = piccies please I thought some of the original Oct 06 ladies might have popped in to say hi and let us know how they all are shame would be nice to know. We have not heard form Princess for ages either - hope she is okay.

Put a whole load of maternity stuff and baby clothes on ebay today no more babies for us. My hormones say yeah I'd love another , my head says no way - detest being preggers - feel so ill, want a bit of a life back and to feel well and good about myself again, lose weight and get fit again and DH couldn't cope either but hey ho that is a woman's body for you!

Calvin is a really happy wee soul now - just discovered his hands and started giggling Mind you he is not so wee - 16lbs now - he is 15 weeks on Tuesday and he is 66 cm long feet in size 2 shoes already!!

Trying to potty train Amber at the mo' - not doing so well. Bought her books, pants etc but she really is a minker! Quite happy to lounge about in her own caked on poo all day Calvin hates having a dirty bum and screams the place down - not so DD wee stinker!!

How are you all getting on?

Gingeme · 31/10/2008 09:48

Morning all.
H ave posted pics of Edwards party. He seems so grown up all of a sudden He is saying lots of words now and realy getting his point across when he needs to
David has been having swimming lessons this week. He is realy enjoting them and doing realy well. Its a shame its his last one today George is trying to stand alone now. He can be quite scary sometimes at how daring he is. Little sod
Aw Calvin sounds gorgeous. Potty training already! Your brave. Bit early in my opinion but hey thats up to you innit?
Hope everyone else is keeping well and all the o6 babys are doing well xxxx

Rumpel · 31/10/2008 11:06

Aww GINGEME they are sooooo cute David looks like you. Didn't realise your Dh had other kids too - what age are they then and are you a step-granny yet Just imagine how many Grandkids you are gonna end up with - better start saving now

Amber all dressed up in her witchy costume today and Calvin in his Mummy outfit - I don't need to put a costume on - I have my natural Mitchelin Mummy outfit on - shame I can't take it off!

Have a fab weekend all and happy guising!

Gingeme · 31/10/2008 12:03

Thanks Rumpel, prefer that name to wobblyweeble tbh
Dh other dc's oh yeah he has two grown up boys too. Daryl is 21 on Boxing Day and Adrian was 19 yesterday! 7 boys between us . Ha ha theyre too full of themselves to think of having babys just yet but hey I wouldn't mind. Love babys me .

Rumpel · 31/10/2008 13:23

Really GINGEME? You'd never know!

Gingeme · 31/10/2008 20:10
