[CaptainDippy]

Yey for S Luce!! .... and yey for Lemon Drizzle cake too!!

Morning all

Will be setting off soon for my scan appt. Have taken today as annual leave as I have quite a bit of it, particularly if all goes well and I have to use it by January instead of May. So I have had a bit of a lazy morning back in bed.

WO, congratulations on the new job - when do you start it? I'm also curious about why controversial but won't press further.

Sorry to hear both NL and CD sounding so low, you always have time to say a nice word for others here. I hope your trip goes well NL.

SPB, glad you're enjoying T at the moment. The chattering is so cute, isn't it?

D acquired a shocking black eye in the park yesterday - he's obsessed with opening and closing the gates and fell on some sort of gate post that's just a little way above ground. At least he didn't take his eye out. dp is feeling terribly guilty.

SOL, hope the heartburn eases.

Poor D Elkie - toddlers are soooo clumsy, bless 'em - DP shouldn't feel guilty. Hope scan goes ok and enjoy your day

morning folks!
yeh to last day doing the schol run for a while luce and good on S for crawling!
spb - glad T is back on chipper form
elkie - good luck with the scan - make sure to let us know how you get on. poor D & black eye. they do go through the mill at this age. C has a split lip at the mo and a nice lump on her forehead - courtesy of trying to climb onto a kitchen chair.
CD - you do sound stressed - hopefully you will have a good weekend meet up with NL.
SOL - heartburn is grim. can you just pamper today if you dont head to docs?

sorry if i have left anyone out!

the new job is working with women exploited throug commercial sex - from lap dancing to prostitution. quite a radical approach linking it to male violence. i imagine many awkward silences when responding to the question " what is your new job". goig to meet new boss at 2pm to talk over first speech at major conference only 2 weeks after i start - gulp!

Elkie, good luck with the scan. How exciting Poor D hope his eye recovers soon.

Luce, enjoy the start of the school holidays

WO the job sounds really interesting! Good luck with it

Right, need to go and pick up K from nursery.

Feel so much better today. Still get the odd twinge but yesterday I was getting pains every few minutes - like contractions but high up!

See you all later. x

hiya girls, i got a house, we are in a 1 bed flat and have been waiting for 5 years for a house as we cant afford anything else, and now we have a 3 bed. how exciting. hope everyone is ok? xxx

n1 lexi
SOL glad you are better
WO that souds really interesting
T has shoes! Spent ages with his feet glued to the ground crying, and now walking around as if in moon boots

katy - Jack hated his shoes for a while

sol - hope heartburn is better

elkie - how did the scan go?

dippy & NL - enjoy your meet up

Ange - what will I wear with a dress? no idea

Luce - I could just eat that cake now

lexi - good news on house

weeonion - fab job - so pleased for you

oh and that dress has been sold - nevermind - will keep looking

LOL @ Moon Boots

Yey to house LL

I am shattered and have head ache. Bleurgh.

How are you oooggs? Sorryif I've missed sonething, why are you signed off? Hope everything OK? xx

Hey SPB

Hi Dippy - early night for you young lady!! What time are you seeing NL?

katy - signed off with 24/7 feeling sick and tiredness.

I am seeing the acupunturist on wednesday and it is going to cost £40

I spoke to welfare from work and they said my boss shouldn't be ringing so often and that has now stopped

oh no
Hope he helps!
I have never known how you manage with 3 LOs - now you have 3LOs and pregnant - superwoman!

Hope the AP helps sweetie. xx

Meeting NL and family sometime after lunch on Sun at some random farm in Surrey! (I'll be wearing a pink carnation )

lol

Evening all

CD, hope you feel better soon you poor lamb. xx

Hi Oooggs, work shouldn't be phoning you that often surely? Once a week would be ore appropriate. Hope you feel ok. xx

Hi SPB and all you other lovelies out there.

All ok here. B and K on great form - HURRAH!!!!!

Went to the park after school for an hour which was really nice and sat and chatted to one of the dads.

Came home and just chilled out with them.

Hoping they both sleep well - need my beauty sleep

Dh off cycling again tonight so am enjoying watching what I want tonight. Going to paints my nails as well! Sad eh?

Evening SOL
can anyone reading this please send T sleepy vibes? Thanks

Scan this afternoon went ok - definitely growing a baby (I felt so reassured after the scan last time) and it's only one. But I'm also less far along than my LMP date would suggest - 9+4 not 11+2, and the tests I expected to have can't be done before 11 weeks. So I'm now due on 26 January (probably a February baby then). Although I still wish I was further along, I'm hoping my new date will be closer to reality - as my cycle is normally irregular and longer than average, I was surprised in my first pregnancy that the scan date was the same as the LMP (last period) date.

Your new job sounds interesting WO - I think for every silence there'll probably be at least 2 people wanting to know more about it.

Great news about the house lexi, do you know when the move will be yet? Is it far from where you are now?

Glad to hear the dogs boss has been called off Oooggs.

dp is mad at me because D woke up after appearing to be close to sleep. I think if he woke up like that it was going to happen anyway. One of the cats was sick next to the desk where our PC is and I rushed upstairs thinking I was going to be sick (I was nauseous beforehand). And yelling at me because the baby's awake is sure to be a good move, isn't it?

Sleepy vibes T!!!

Elkie, so glad the scan went well today. Must be a relief.

Lexi, also meant to say great news re the house. Where will you be moving too?

Oh Elkie, I am sorry to hear you and dp are having a set-to.

Babies wake up, and you can't creep around the house all the time.

Hope you patch things up

Great about scan ELKIE
Fab about house LEX
Am v.pleased re your work not ringing OOOGGS
jOB SOUNDS EXTREMELY CHALLENGING AND INTERESTING wo.
Hope you ok Dippy and NL.
SPB..You sound so happy
Caz hope all is going well???
Take care ladies.Am nearly off to bed.xx

Glad the scan went well. I agree - when T is properly asleep; it's hard to wake him! Hope you can sort it out.
