Hi all. I'm very sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

LOM - None of the rooms I teach in have classrooms, so I have to swear at the board instead when I turn my back on the class, or stick my fingers up at them from behind a textbook! Love the graffiti idea, but as i don't have my own room, I wouldn't get the chance to graffiti the desks, pity

Greedy - I teach Vicky POllard's cousins! One of my students talks so fast it is just like her, the geography PGCE student couldn't believe she was for real! Glad to hear childcqare is getting sorted, that will be a weight off your mind.

I've wrapped William's birthday pressies, but he can't have them till after work, I'm leaving as early as I can tomorrow

Jet - Glad you and all enjoyed William's birthday.

Tom is being a velcro boy at the moment too. He's also started crawling this week. He's into everything. I thought our house was quite baby proof. It seems I was wrong. Fortunatley most of our downstairs is laminate so he just skids around on in a comic duck on ice fashion. I annoys him but makes him containable.

Loopy - I'm with DH on the culinary expertise. I shall be expecting a foot high chocolate fudge cake the moment the new cooker is plumbed in. I'll get the plates ready and make sure the squrty cream is on hand .

sam86 · 21/11/2008 15:47

jet- sorry i missed yday, belated happy birthday william!!! glad you all had a great day! how has this year gone so fast and yet them being so small seems a lietime away!!

cape- i have a velcro baby too, must be the time for them! except raimee isnt happy being picked up and isnt happy being put down!lol. her daytime nap has become horrible as if i try and put her in the cot for it she screams, yet shes so nackerd she will fall asleep on the floor or on me, but if i dare to try and get her into the cot al hell breaks loose- i swear babys have a "cot sensor"!!

loopy- lol@ culinary feats!! we all want some!! the cookers gorgeous!

raimees party is next sun and the front room is still not finished! ive also got my sister and her kids over for tea today and am minding one this sun so god knows wen it will get done. may have to have it in living room with buffet teetering on coffee table which the dog will love...

have applied to do a masters or undergrad degree in social work next year, after i finally graduate on this degree ( if i graduate... lol). fingers crossed but am worried as they both ask for experience, am desperatley trying to get some interesting voluntary work but to no avail! might have to take a year out and try best to get paid experience in that time, but worth a shot for next yr i suppose.

I feel really icky today I have been sick twice once in bed on the duvet .
I took Anabel for her 12 month jabs and she was so brave and apart from a little cry bounced back straight away.
I have to wait for DH to get home from work until I bake her cake for tomorrow. He left with the buggy in the boot today and I had to walk to the doctors with her in the sling but it hurt my bump so I couldn't face going to the supermarket as well.
I have wrapped her present though and I
can't wait for all the excitment of tomorrow. She probably won'teven nkow whats going on but I'm looking forward to it.

RGPargy · 21/11/2008 22:29

Hi everyone

Sorry you are feeling pants Febes. happy birthday to Anabel for tomorrow! How exciting!

Happy Birthday Anabel! Hope you're feeling brighter today Febes.

Oh, I think I have worked out William's MN fairy, I have pieced together the clues, I am like Sherlock Holmes

sam86 · 22/11/2008 10:03

happy birthday Anabel!! can we have pics pls!? whats the cake like? hope your feeling better Febes!
i am tucked up at mo as have got dps fever from last week, so hes took pity on me and has gone out with raimee. i can only lie on edge of bed coz its soaking from sweating all night, not v nice but havnt got energy to change sheets..!

Febes · 22/11/2008 18:36

We have had the nicest day. I made a cake last night and I had borrowed my friends number 1 cake tin and it was obviously bigger than normal so the cake was thin and over cooked and ended up more like a biscuit so had to make another cake this morning which was ok as I doubled the recipe but then split when coming out of the tin but it was nothing that a bit of icing couldn't cover up!!
We meet up with all 5 other babies and couples from our antenatal group and went to the city farm close to us and then to a really child friendly italian restuarant for lunch and the extra bonus was that Anabel fell asleep during lunch so we ate in peace.

Thanks MN fairy for the lovely books Anabel loves them x

Febes · 22/11/2008 18:38

I'll post some photos tonight. Sorry you're poorly Sam- well done DP for giving you a break.

Febes · 23/11/2008 19:09

I stopped BF Anabel yesterday she has been on one feed a day for a few months now and has been having less and less so today I decided not to feed her and she didn't miss it at all so thats it. Feels weird...

Febes · 23/11/2008 19:10

I'll have 5 months off till LO comes along.

RGPargy · 23/11/2008 19:48

Glad you had a lovely day Febes! Well done also on BF Anabel for so long. I take my hat off to anyone that's carried on for this long. having said that, i find that i do actually miss BF ellie and i'm convinced by the way she looks at my boobies that she might miss it (or at least remember it!) too.

Cant believe you've only got 5 months left til your next LO arrives! doesn't time fly!

sam86 · 23/11/2008 21:55

Happy birthday to Anabel! great looking cake Febes. She looks so snug in her bush baby fleece too - I love the way the hoods fit around their little faces.

Sam - hope you are feeling less ill

littleoldme · 24/11/2008 21:59

BTW Loopy yes I'm thinking like that too. At the weekend I was looking at out antenatal thread for this week last year.

Hello everyone!

Haven't stopped all week. It is Adam's birthday today! How ridiculous, where did that go? I have been doing lots of "this time last year" stuff, my labour memories stretched for 3 days ! I went to my "boob" group this morning, been to The Deep this afternoon and now Adam is flaked out and I am having a cuppa. We had open house at the weekend and it was lovely but hectic and the in-laws didn't get the hint that it was a day do and outstayed their welcome but they love Adam so much that I can forgive them most things these days.

Gorgeous cake Febes. We cheated. Sounds like you had a lovely day.

Sorry you are feeling crap Sam. Hope you are getting lots of sleep and hot drinks and love and attention from your DP.

I'll post some pics of the birthday boy later.
