April 2007 - Where did all the babies go?

[PillockOfTheCommunity]

at work so flying visit, still no internet at home

the stalker/stalkee relationship is reversed!

11am - at least I'll get it over with nice and early! Dh has got the day off hanfily enough so he's got B and then we are going to the farm shop for lovely food and a nice lunch! I am a bit stressed by it tbh as I keep trying to do bits of prep but it's so much harder when you've not been at work for a while as you're not in the groove as it were.

Oooggs - hope you get a good night tonight!
Mammyjo - so pleased you got to go [smile}

I know NL DH asked me something from my area of expertise (small as it is!) the other day, it was very simple and basic and it took me ages to figure it out, plus my brain hurt afterwards!

you know when you put an enquiry into a computer and it makes a lot of noise and struggle to bring up the answer - that's my brain - the files are there but you can't get them to load!

And in your day it would have all come out on ticker tape!
(Oh sorry, have we moved on from teasing NL about her age?)

(nl sticks tongue out at spb)

I'm so knackered this week I think I may have forgotten to mention here that we've sold our house! To a chain free, non mortgage requiring cash buyer - just hoping he doesn't change his mind!

No no, you did mention that NL - it's fantastic news - aren't you waiting to see if your offer is accepted? When do you hear?

See it's my age I forget things!

Well we have accepted the offer on ours and are still waiting to hear if the vendors of the house we like fancy dumping their existing buyers and switching to us. I suppose we would be gazumping them were it not for the fact that they have obviously been so slow they've bought it on themselves. It's been a couple of days now - which really makes me think that our offer is being used to threaten the buyers to get a move on. I'm ok with that - it would be great to buy it but not an unbearable tragedy if we don't get it. I'm sure they're will be another house - really, really want to hang onto our buyer though. It would be so good just to have achieved part one of our move!

yeah, and if you sell you will be in a fantastic position to buy again!

I know I definately haven't mentioned this 'cos I only thought of it today: my big girls are away at grandmas 31st March -4th April so B and I will be very much free agents. Does anyone living in the vicinity of the East Coast Main Line fancy a meet up? I can 'host' here in york or could train up to Newcastle maybe? Any takers?

Hello Not caught up - got persuaded by dp and friend to go out for a couple of drinks and ended up staying out all night DP not impressed! Was drinking from 8 till half 1 though and dont feel remotely tipsy Not sure whats happened to me!!

Just had yummy cheesey chips while reading spb's thread (boys deffo hav way less choice of clothes than girls and I shop for both so am unbiased!) and now off to bed, if dp lets me in

Back tomorrow to tell you all about the shed fire (not mine!) that made me split my truffles!

Wish I live closer, NL - I'd come!!

I am sat here in tears Things are tough in DippyLand and although I try and push them to one side just "make do and get on"; I am in completely stuck and unhappy. Sorry. It is just hard. Sorry.

Morning Dippy, what's up? Is it just life in general? What could make life easier, if anything?

feeling ill this morning, no sleep and a sore throat Happy mothers' day everyone!

Morning.

Dippy, I am so sorry you are so unhappy. I wish there was something I could do. Is there anything?

SPB, hope you feel better soon.

NL, fab news about the house sale

All fab here today I have to say - not something I say often.

Both girls on good form, and both presented me with cards. B had done a gorgeous one at school, and dh had done with K - her handprint - brought a tear to my eye. Dh has also told me we need to be ready to leave the house at 9.30 I am all excited/nervous!

Hope everyone has a very Happy Mothers' Day. Lots of love xx

...and oh yes, he forgot

Oh Dippy - here have a {{{{Hug}}}}! I have to go get dd1 from her sleepover and then go to church (where I'm doing some of the prayers today as it's Mothering Sunday - gulp) but I'll be back later. Is it running around after 3 little people or matters financial or dh being dhlike? Or all three? Don't say if you'd rather not though - will be praying for you.

Pesha - I want to hear about the fire!

SOL - so glad you're having a lovely day - how exciting!

SPB - no sleep - you poor thing - hope things improve later - can dh take T out so you can nap?

CD, really sorry things are tough.

SPB, sorry you've had no sleep.

D woke at 11.45 but went back to sleep ok with a bottle of milk, but then woke up early again this morning - I woke at 6 am but dp thinks he woke earlier - and has been wide awake ever since. He's due a nap and dp's taken him out but he's so bouncy I'm not sure it will work, still at least he seems happy.

happy mums day to all of you!
got some lovely pressies tho' i had asked that none be bought!

hope you all have nice days today

Happy Mothering Sunday

all 3 of my children sleeping at least 12 hours last night - priceless

for the card and presents - mastercard

could have been a thread title

hope you all have a lovely day - dh is poorly and is very tired and has been sick - he has caught Jacks bug so I am doing everything - may have to be pampered next weekend

fab news on house NL
sorry dh forgot dippy

Happy Mother's Day to you all

I had some lovely cards - made and bought - and some chocolates, which although I have only had 1 are nearly all gone! and some lovely vanilla bath stuff (one of my fave smells!)

SOL - sounds like you will be having some fun!

SPB - sorry you are feeling under the weather.

Oooggs - bet you feel like a different person, all this sleep you have been having!

Dippy - so sorry things are so tough for you atm

Pesha - shed fire? sounds dramatic!

NL - I wish I lived closer, I would come. Well done on the sale of your house. and good luck in church later - are you nervous?

Hi all Hope everyone is having a good day. So sorry that your dh forgot dippy Hoping that he is strung up via something uncomfortable as I type this!

NL, fab news about the house. If I lived closer I would come, but Newcastle is a little bit of a trek from South Wales!

SOL, how exciting! Hope you are having a brilliant day F is much brighter, still not back to normal, but not so pale and definitely happier in herself. She still has a very smelly bottom, but is eating much more normally now so I am calmer!

Hi mmayjo - glad to hear F is better
