Night oooggs, hope you get a better night
Thanks everyone, he is based on T's friend Sniff
Before the chocolate fingers were introduced he looked more like the creature from the swamp.
About to test him out with a coffee!
Bramshott (I think) thanks for the hedgehog cake instructions!

DH poorly so have to run.

PillockOfTheCommunity · 13/04/2008 21:40

I'm back

the new addition is a fluffy baby chick

PillockOfTheCommunity · 13/04/2008 21:54

I just wrote a really long post then bloody well pressed the wrong button!

I'm well, much brighter, Court tomorrow is a formality, they've agreed in principle to let me pay minimum arrears for now.

your texts have been lovely, it's really made me feel cared about, which I've really needed x

will retype the rest later!

NorthernLurker · 13/04/2008 22:03

That's brilliant news POTC - well done

I'll have to come back tomorrow and catch up properly - too knackered now. Night all

Sexonlegs · 13/04/2008 22:12

Just dropping in really quickly, as am knackered and heading to bed.

Belated Happy Birthday to all those I have missed. Glad all the parties went well.

Ellie, good luck for tomorrow

MJ, I would get signed off tbh. Hope you are feeling ok. Is your dh back yet?

Pesha, am bowled over by your photos! They are gorgeous!!

Hope everyone is ok. We had a lovely weekend, and B is now with the inlaws. She cried whe we left which was inevitable, but I am sure she will be fine. I managed not to cry until we were 5 minutes down the road. Still feel pants so am going to try and get a docs appointment tomorrow.

Sorry for lack of personals - have thought about you ladies lots over the weekend. xx

leakyR · 13/04/2008 22:50

Just added my twopenceworth to the birthday catch up thread.

Feel terrible that I haven't had time to fully catch up on the thread.

MJ - hope you're feeling a bit better soon and that you get the problem sorted out ASAP.

POTC - hope it goes well tomorrow. I seem to have missed a lot of what has been going on with you. I still think you're fab BTW.

SOL and Ooogs - hope you're feeling well again soon too.

Pesha - What lovely photos. You're a good looking bunch!

Eddas - in awe of anyone who is dedicated enough to do the marathon. DH has done it a couple of times and also reckons building up to that distance is the way to go.

Definitely going to bed now.

Goodnight x.

CaptainDippy · 13/04/2008 22:53

Great news, Pillock xx

Fab cake, SPB - looks sooo chocolately and yummmmmeeeeee .... post me some NOW!!!

Actually, I'll take a rain check on that as I am off to bed now, night night .....

CaptainDippy · 13/04/2008 22:54

Don't feel terrible, Leaky - It is just good to have you back xx

StealthPolarBear · 14/04/2008 06:14

StealthPolarBear · 14/04/2008 06:17

the "what is going on?" thread

OP posts:
Eddas · 14/04/2008 07:19

Morning,

SPB have posted on your thread. Is T ok within himself?

POTC, hope all goes ok today

Hope all the poorly mummies and babies get better soon

no birthday's today? must've been too many yesterday

DD has a preschool friend coming round this morning, her first playdate apart from my friend dc(when my friends stay too) she's been wanting this friend over for a while now but with her at preschool every morning and me working 3 afternoons, the other mum can't do the other 2 afternoons so we're snookered

I'm going to pop all the balloons today as there's too many they're getting in the way.

DH has gone back to work today after a week off I miss him already

StealthPolarBear · 14/04/2008 07:22

Hey ladies, hope everyone is well - have been lurking for a bit, just never seem to get the chance to write anything.

Leaky - great to see you, hope G had a ncie birthday - we will get that NE meet-up organised this year!!

SPB - Hope T is ok - to be honest C very rarely has solid poo's. Loved the cake btw!!

POTC - Hope the hearing goes ok.

WO - Hope you all had a nice time at C's party on Saturday and that there were no family disasters!

Pesha - Hope you manage to get the car sorted out, and that there isnt too much flood damage!

Things manic here - had parents up for the weekend so dp and I could have a day out in Glasgow on Saturday - had a lovely time, new hair cut (sarah harding esque), lunch in a posh resturant and some shopping. Was lovely not having to manouvre pushchair round the shops!! Off on our holidays on Thursday so desparately trying to get organised for that, C is just about walking now...eeeeek

CaptainDippy · 14/04/2008 09:53

Ooooh, GMM - sounds lovely!!

I am not a big balloon fan either, SPB. Hope T is ok. xxxxxx

Hope playdate is good Eddas I miss my DH when he is at work too.

Weird feelings creeping back again Not sure what is wrong, feel so low and nostalgic, can't really explain it. Just hoping this mood will lift asap ....

leakyR · 14/04/2008 10:14

Quicky.

Facebook pics of G's party

Hope you can see them.

Off to playgroup, thern nasty injection this pm.

CaptainDippy · 14/04/2008 11:17

CaptainDippy · 14/04/2008 11:42

You poor thing oooggs. xx

NorthernLurker · 14/04/2008 11:51

Hi all

We've had a busy weekend - trying to get stuff sorted out a bit in the hopes of moving, I went to the NCT Baby fair on Saturday - cycled there and back which was really enjoyable and we had someone round for lunch yesterday. Also I have to report that my period has returned - after 21 mths. Not too chuffed about that - although it does explain why I have been feeling very short-tempered......

Dippy - how are your eyes today? I think if they're not getting better by now you need some different stuff. I hope you feel less 'knotted up' soon. You have such a lot on your plate - and you are apparoaching the time when dd1 goes to schgool aren't you? I don't know about anyone else - but I found that a pretty massive shift tbh.

Oooggs - hope you and Jack feel better for Wednesday. B and I have our first settling in at nursery session this week.

SOL and Mammyjo - hope you both feel better soon!

POTC - thinking of you

GMM - Good Luck with the packing

WO - any more work news? Hope you had a lovely, lovely time at C's party

Leaky, Eddas and all the other birthday mums and babes I've missed - Happy Birthday

CaptainDippy · 14/04/2008 11:54

Yes, NL, I think that is what it is tbh ... tried to speak to my bf earlier, but she was very sympathetic tbh I am scared really .....

NorthernLurker · 14/04/2008 11:58

scared of them growing up or things changing in general? I think either is perfectly normal btw!

CaptainDippy · 14/04/2008 12:04

Both
