It is Harry's birthday tomorrow, so we have been bowling today with 4 of his friends and to KFC afterwards for tea! Tomorrow we are having a family gathering (oh what fun! ) and my bf is coming round for tea with her 2 boys - busy weekend!

Also have had 200+ eggs in our incubator for a friend of my brother's and have had about 50 hatch so far, and have just spent te last half hour being a chicken midwife!

hope you all have had/ have a lovely weekend!

Poor you MJ REALLY hoping surgery date is soon honey.

Hope BBQ was fun Eca and that T & DH bonded well over the compost, SPB

Party was fab Everyone had a super time despite the drizzle, animals were a hit and everyone enjoyed the trampoline (or "jumpoline" as my oldest two call it ) Soooooooo fantastic to see POTC & J, really apprecaited them coming all this way to be there - so sweet. Joe is yummy, he makes me think that one day I could perhaps cope with having a boy Hope you got back ok E!!

penpotEca · 17/05/2008 22:24

bbq was lovely, though I think T ate more soil/stones/grass than sausage

ROFL at "chocken midwife" Absolutely Brilliant.

Right, off to bed. x

StealthPolarBear · 18/05/2008 07:02

Morning everyone
Happy birthday Harry!
So tired today, T has fed, constantly, since he came into our bed at 11.30/. When he's feeding I just nap, not deep sleep, fine if it's half an hor at a time, not if all night. Not sure why he did it but it can't happen again tonight, I feel like a zombie.

penpotEca · 18/05/2008 10:27

Hi SPB. You must be wrecked! Poor love. I get knackered if T has two or three extra feeds, nevermind all night.

I'm at the desk meant to be workin while T is asleep.

Eddas · 18/05/2008 10:37

hi spb and eca

poor you spb, sounds like a long night. fingers crossed he doesn't repeat it tonight. Any chance you'll be able to get your head down during the day today?

i've just done the dreaded food shopping, although online so fairly painfree haven't done any for a few weeks have popped into the shop but not a proper shop IYKWIM.

right off to get dressed
