[2HipHopandHappy]

No, really

Where you been? You started a roll call last wednesday and never came back

Eah - pisser re Hattie. Must have been v worrying when she got her rash.

Hope the dh's are behaving themselves (particularly Rat and Susie).

PCF can't believe the BIG DAY is only 11 days away!! How exciting!!!!!!!!! Yes, agree with Lizz, you must tell!

Shimmer if you're lurking, how are you progressing with 'operation Shimmer-dp-to-propose'?

Hiya Dragon. Lovely to hear from you.

Just back from being away a couple of days. Nowt much to say (of interest any way). DOn't forget good tv tonight!

2H - are you there? THinking of you as am up in Northumberland this weekend (prob won't be able to meet this time, but don't forget my hols up there in June)

X-post Eah.
I was flouncing because my roll call was ignored

No, just been busy. RL getting in the way of MN and all that

Have the girls gone to sleep ok tonight? How's H?

Reggiee - I missed you - hence my t'email.

PCF - SO exciting! I wish I could do it all again. It was great.

Well, have had a shitty shite day AGAIN. He was al perky and lovely this morning, then did a HUGE diahorrea nappy, then slept on and off on me all morning. Then perky and happy again. Then at 5pm just spewed EVERYWHERE, it was pumping out of him. Luckily he was in the kitchen on lino floor. So, I guess that buggers up our plan to go to Center Parcs tomorrow to join my M&D, sis and DTNs. Crap. Another day of doing sweet FA. Am really mardy - have got raging PMT too. Just ate a whole cumberland sausage, 3 yorkshire puddings, mash (made with full fat milk) and gravy. Fat bitch. Core Plan it was not!!!!!

Oh and to top it off, DH not answering his phone as he is playing golf with the 'boys'. ALthough he did buy me a beautiful bouquet of flowers yesterday to relieve the cabin fever of being stuck in with an ill child for 5 days!!

Someone cheer me up please

Hi Wilkie!
Hang in there! It will be over soon. P had D&V a week or so ago, and lasted 6 days. (fortunately for us though, P sleeps when she's poorly so it was no where near as bad as gfor you). Oh, and P threw up on DH when I was out, not on me .

So, not doing a good job at cheering you up Bet your flowers look lovely though. That was thoughtful of your dh.

Ok folks. Am off to watch Property Ladder. Will catch up tomorrow eve.

Wilkie isn't the apprentice on tonight? surely thats enough to cheer anyone up?

I managed to wash one of my fav jumpers today, still no idea how this happened, but I kid you not, it would now fit isobel no exaggeration. I couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled it out, a lot quicker than I was expecting!!! It is a perfect miniature, a little bit feltier ( is that a word?) than it was. Mr C will have a field day on this. Second time its happened, and i'm always shrinking things, not usually so spectacularly though

Granny let Isobel sleep for 3.5 hours this arvo she won't do that for love nor money!! still, it was until 5.30 , so, i think i'm in for a long evening with her!

Mr C is about to board his flight to China, via Dubai. He's got a long duty free list in his luggage, and spec for a new digi camera for me, must have features... any so long as its pink!

Hope all LO's are better really quickly. So horrible, all round hey? Take care all

5 days?! Wilkie, You poor thing. Big hugs...and lots of anti bacterial wipes being sent virtually over to you {{ [][][] }} xxx

I was trying to make you laugh before wilks, hope it made you smile a leeetle bit.

really hope the puking stops soon. miserable for both of you. will he drink dioralyte? Quite important when they're little, loosing too much fluid via either end knocks 'em for six... If you can, try and get him to drink some. izzy strangely liked it, its really salty! Didn't read the bit about it had been 5 days. Maye you ought to have the gp have a little look at him. 5 days is a long time for anyone to have D&V, especially small people, but, i'm sure you know this

So, anyone watch the apprentice? I really want Lucinder to win now. She seems so genuine, and nice, and did so well today. Talk about slant the filming so we all thought that her team had one! Kid of too obvious really, so I thought maybe they had.

I felt really disappointed! Just want that jennifer to go now. What a nasty piece of work! And the red lippy, far too hard nose bitch to be taken seriously! Did not suit her. Only a very few people can wear lipstick that colour and really pull it off. I know I can't!

Hi everyone

I wanted jennifer to go aswell she is way up her own arse.

Susie mums are fab at letting lo sleep arent they . I bet your dp had packed that hand luggage full of goodies for you.

Wilkie laughalot passes a bucket round in case j is spreading his germs . Poor little man do you think he has picked more stuff up from starting nursery ?

Rgee glad you are back we missed ya.

Iv got a horrible day ahead aidan has got his pre school booster at 3 and lauren has got her mmr . Should be fun in my house tonight and guess who is out dh.

Oh no! Lets hope that they are alright after their jabs LA Izzy has her MMR next week too. She was fine with the last lot though, so i'm hoping it'll be ok too... I'm hoping that a certain little girl on this thread ( ) was unique!

Been tracking Dh's flight! found a website you fill in the flight number and it tells you how far into the flight it is, and if its running on time. I'm hoping to get a text to say he's safely at the hotel some time this eve.

Hope you all have lovely days. the weather has been gorgeous here, then massive down pours, then really bright and warm and sunny again! It can't make up its mind.

Hoping for a sunny weekend, then we can go to my mums house, and Izzy can safely potter round her garden.

Evening - well not alot to report went to town with eddas and hattie and harry this morning whilst the older girls were at preschool, then spent this afternoon trying to dodge Ellie (she was playing hairdressers and wanted me to be her client) I gave up in the end and got the girls world styling head out of the loft it kept her amused for ages!!

Brother and gf and nephew moving tomorrow so future SIL dropped round some toys for Hattie to have, included a mickey mouse hoover with loads of little balls in it she has been running up and down with it, but screams if I get the 'proper' hoover out

Hi everyone well kids jabs were ok lauren screamed when she had to get back in the buggy and aidan was fine when it went in first leg but screamed when it went it second leg. He spent the afternoon limping typical man.

Awwwm bless him, limping! God, they start young don't they, these men

I ended up cooking diner for my neighbour and her DD. they popped in after school, and were still here when i was getting Izzy's tea ready, felt I had to offer... was nice to have some company really. Finally said good bye to them at 9pm! I'm all talked out now, so tired. Put off taking my painkillers when they were here, as it sometimes makes me a bit fuzzy in the head and I talk crap... ( no change there then )

SO as result, really sore now. To much pain to get in bath, and I was really looking forward to a bath. DH bought me some lovely smelly fizzy balls from lush to cheer me up. I've got 8 of them. Can't bare the smell of that shop, but the products they sell are pretty good actually. He got me 2 with rose petals in them, and 2 have sparkly confetti in them. Also a massive blue one with glitter in, turns the water turquoise. Smells fab too.

I'll leave Lush to you Susie cos I can't stand it! So I skipped your descriptions of the bath stuff.

Busy vino (whats new there). Enjoyed day off yesterday though as a friend and her lo came over, was the first time Ellen and her lo have interacted - Ellen kept hugging her and saying 'arrr' and her lo kept stroking Ellen's hair. Cute!

Lots of work to do.

Last went to hosp for scan on 9th APril and been waiting for another scan appt since then, trying to chase up but I can't get through on the phone which is annoying. I feel like I am being kicked to pieces at night by the baby. DH is amazed at how strong the kicks are at the moment. My friend dropped her moses basket off for me yesterday so feel I am 'preparing for baby' now IYKWIM!

No time for personals - hope everyone ok and has a good weekend if I don;t catch up later on. I am out for the day both days and will prob have to work both evenings so busy evening for me. I have engineered a weekend to myself over bank hol though by suggesting to DH that he took Ellen to his parents overnight. We haven;t seen them since Easter and I want to chill out so don;t want to go there or have them stay here. For me its the perfect solution!

aaaargh theres someone with the username eandz its to like mine

Dorothy Perkins had a 20% off special yesterday and today. And its still online now!

here

I got a denim skirt, £5 off! I am so chuffed with myself! I've wanted it for ages and thought I'd treat myself today as its payday..and then I got £5 off!

ta for the tip lizz - no maternity bargains for me though. Just been looking on ebay to see if anything nice there for weddings I have to go to over next month or so, think it might be worth trying to pick up a bargain!

Well done Lizz

Vin we had 4 weddings when I was pregnant with Hattie I wore same dress to each of them

Had a lovely day, weather gorgeous so been in garden since 8.30am! We've done painting, water table,. play house, gardening etc had nephew from 8.30 to 1pm so he had fab time, I put sun lotion on Ellie,Hattie and nephew but for got me and I have burnt my arms and chest Just come in now so they can have dinner and baths and early nights as all that fresh air should have worn them out.

Hattie is getting a reall little madam, Ellie takes anything from her she marches over and either pulls her hair,stamps on her and takes it back, I did warn Ellie that she'd get her revenge on her one day for all the things she used to do to her

Vino - I have a black Blooming Marvellous dress size 14 which I hardly wore during my pregnancy.
Do you want to borrow it?

Vin - Wallis do some gorgeous, reasonably priced wrap-dresses that are PERFECT for pregnancy/weddings. I have a lovely black and white one which you can borrow (size 12), it fitted me at the end of my pregnancy for my leaving do.

OMG there is a due in January 2009 thread and

DH is desperate to buy E & H a wooden playhouse so what do you think of these (we have minimal space but can just squeeze biggest one in)

most practical and we could add window box etc

good size for space

dh loves this one but its a squeeze

I love the tescos one and I want one to.

Had a lovely day went with my future sil to get laurens bridesmade dress and it is so cute, they dident have the ivory one so we tried the pink one on and they ordered the other one.

My little boy got his first swimming badge today and guess who took him swimming dh so I missed it.

WERE HAVE U ALL GONE

LAL I started to post yesterday morning then my laptop shut itself down and I got in a mess sorting it out so I could work for the rest of the day. And it was a long day - another one coming up I think.

E&H - I like the tesco playhouse too

Wilkie and Liz - would be great if I can borrow the dresses you both offered. Liz I will facebook you my address and send you postage. Wilkie maybe I could pick yours up when I come over which will hopefully be soon. Hope you have a nice day with DH and J on Thurs. Is J better (or am I behind the times?)

Had busy weekend visiting people. Friends for lunchons at where for a moment I thought E had broken her washer but it seems ok. Then Sunday went to see another friend and 6 month old boy. He was cute but cried when I played with him. Also saw a month old boy who was still under 8lb. To me thats tiny cos E was over 8 when she was born. The good thing is that with both of them E was very sweet going up to them and putting her arms around them.

Going to move E into a toddler bed in the next couple of weeks so that cot is ready for baby. It arrived yesterday (lizz I was impressed that with a mothercare card you get free delivery online, bought it there as it was my fave and I had 10% off). It then came with an ELC 10% off voucehr so I will order paddling pool, pump and doll for E using that. Hurah.

Hope everyone well,sorry I;ve not been on much but am just so busy barely have time to chat to DH at the mo.

Hopefully it'll be summer soon! And I have sat and sun to myself as dh and T going to PILs overnight. Yippee!!!
