MJ - my fellow Lost fan!! Thanks for the explanation but grrr at no Lost for a few weeks, its the only decent thing on on a sunday Sorry you're feeling so rough I've had blood tests and xrays for arthritis in my fingers as when I wake up they're all week and feeble, I cant make a fist and have trouble doing things with them, usually only lasts a few mins though although got a lot worse when I had flu but then stopped completely when pg . No arthritis though apparently so just have to live with it. Good luck with test results.

Caz - N was a climber, couldn't take my eyes off him for a second so you have my sympathy.

SOL - will have to look you up on FB now!

Oooggs - lovely pics J and E are very cute!!

hey sol - I can't find you on FB

Hi everyone
NL was just about to post something similar - hope you're OK! I was in the kitchen, ignoring T for a few seconds, then heard him squeak. Went out to see what he was doing and he was almost up the stairs. Was my own fault for not shutting the gate, but I won't be doing it again! (He was just squeaking out of fun, he was fine). The worst bit was getting from where I saw him - kind of bottom of stairs and round the corner - to him, expecting him to fall at any sec. Of course he didn't. Our stairs are, however, not steep and fairly bouncy, I was still a bit shaken!
He is a bit ill today, bit of a funny tummy. Has been bringing some milk up, which he hasn't done for months, and had lots of pooey nappies. Also hasn't eaten a thing, apart from a couple of raisins. This sounds awful, but he will be over it in no time, I just hope we don't get it, as it's so hard to look after him when I'm feeling ill. When it's just him we can spoil him. He's been so clingy with me today, it's but also that when he's ill he just wants mummy.
Well, what a huge self centred post!
Anyone back at work tomorrow? oooggs, I know you're going back like me on Tuesday, anyone else?
Eddas, yes it was me who was going to make a hedgehog cake, what with going back to work I have my suspicions it may look quite a bit like the M&S one...just off to google
and to look at oooggs's new photos

StealthPolarBear · 30/03/2008 21:43

not found it on the M&S site
Eddas, what colour was he?

StealthPolarBear · 30/03/2008 21:45

oh wow they're gorgeous! Jack especially looks so grown up - he's really tall, isn't he? Erin looks so cheeky!

Sexonlegs · 30/03/2008 21:45

Claire Vaughan - Portsmouth network. Haven't managed to upload a picture yet as I am so crap!

Eddas · 30/03/2008 21:46

I wnated to show dh but couldn't find it on the website either. he's brown of course

oooggs · 30/03/2008 21:46

katy - I'm going back to work on wednesday 16th April and dts start nursery this wednesday 2nd April (I work w, T & F)

Eddas · 30/03/2008 21:47

sol, are you sure you poked me haven't got one on my fb

Sexonlegs · 30/03/2008 21:48

You are under a different surname aren't you (diff to your email address surname right?)

NorthernLurker · 30/03/2008 21:48

aaaargh SPB - looks like it's time to wrap bubble wrap around our precious children. They're trying to fly

Mammyjo/SOL - my pill is called Neogestrol or something and I've always been ok on that. Maybe you could try another one. Have to say I'm a big fan of the pop. It's always been very good to me

Eddas · 30/03/2008 21:51

fwiw i take microgynon (or similar spelling) and have no problems

Sexonlegs · 30/03/2008 21:51

Thanks NL. I shall go armed to the docs with that one, as I really do not fancy the coil tbh.

Off to bed soon. Whilst it is lovely staying at mum and dads, I never sleep that well.

See you gorgeous ladies tomorrow. xx

Sexonlegs · 30/03/2008 21:52

Eddas I didn't think that was a progesterone only pill. I think I used to take that donkey's years ago.

Eddas · 30/03/2008 21:53

ah quite possibly not i'll blame the vodka

oooggs · 30/03/2008 21:55

sol - I have friend requested you!!

NorthernLurker · 30/03/2008 21:55

Checked - it's Norgeston - previously known as Neogest.

Sexonlegs · 30/03/2008 21:59

Oooggs, I have accepted

God, I must go to bed!!!!!!!!!

Eddas · 30/03/2008 22:01

sol, i found and requested you too, thanks to oooggs as i couldn't find you through search for some reason, maybe the vodka

Sexonlegs · 30/03/2008 22:03

Eddas, you and your vodka! I am trying to upload a pic of me on FB and it won't work. Getting stroppy!!!

Eddas · 30/03/2008 22:03

right i'm off to bed too. If this am's wake up time's anything to go by I should've been in bad a while ago. She can't do 5am 2 days running, surely[pleads]

NorthernLurker · 30/03/2008 22:05

Lovely pics Oooggs

oooggs · 30/03/2008 22:09

thank you NL

elkiedee · 30/03/2008 22:17

SOL, I've sent you an FB friend request as well. I can't remember if I did the first pic differently from the others - when you have several up you can choose the one to be your profile picture - though I guess as D was only about 5 months in my pic it's time to update it.
