Scampmum · 05/08/2008 12:29

Gosh she really looks like you (so beautiful goes without saying )! Must post some of my DDs. They are so lovely.

Mum2BabyRoo · 05/08/2008 12:29

Hey ladies - sorry that you are having shitty times - if it is any consolation I have all that to come still! Glad it is not now cos the vertigo is verrry bad right now and I feel like poo. Had the physio and MRI yesterday and get my results from the MRI in 2 weeks. Have to go to physio 3 times a week. It is very hard having this and a baby.

Sigh... feeling very sorry for myself today.

Hope PFJ comes back too VS - I often think of her and wonder how they are. Hope fine. I think PAL has her as a friend on FB - have you seen any activity on PFJ's FB PAL?

scorpio1 · 05/08/2008 12:41

M2BR - sorry to hear you are feeling like poo still.

Thanks for all Mimi comments

scorpio1 · 05/08/2008 12:43

Oh Scampmum - 30/31 August ok? DH and Dss will be around on either of those days?

BTW, i forgot but i cannot come to the meet-up. Money fuel and space are all at issues....may be able to do october half-term though

SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 12:56

Mum2BabyRoo, sorry to hear you still feel a bit rubbish. I wondered how the MRI went yesterday. I really hope that you'll start feeling better soon.

Following Scorpio's example, I took a pic of Roelof in his bouncy chair this morning - it's on my profile. I think I read somewhere that it might not be good for their spines or something, but I recon if I limit it to a couple of minutes a day it can't do any harm. And he really seem to love the freedom it gives him.

VictorianSqualor · 05/08/2008 13:01

I don't think I'm going to be able to come either now,

  1. It's a friday and I have that friend of DD's then and
  2. Can't really afford a day trip to London when I've convinced DP I want this house which resulted in a £2k deposit plus the extra £1k for the car Spoilt? Moi?

Just spoke to the letting agents we are with at the moment, hopefully we won't have to pay for the whole of September because I gave them notice today, which is more than 4 weeks,but apparently we have to give a full rental months notice, not 4 weeks randomly, so we'd have to give notice and stay here until 24th sept, but I want to move when the other house is ready!!

VictorianSqualor · 05/08/2008 13:02

Aren't you pretty Sal.

I shall take one of A if I can get him to smile for a moment!

OP posts:
SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 13:44

Ah, thanks VS Can't wait to see another one of A - they change by the day!

Oh no, it's a shame you can't come to the meetup anymore, but completely understandable. Never know, might work out next time.

VictorianSqualor · 05/08/2008 14:06

I've added recent ones of all three rugrats.

OP posts:
SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 14:24

oh they are just gorgeous!!! and hehehe, what a little lady you've got there - love the sunglasses!

SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 14:33

Now where are everyone else?? I'm worse than my grandmother - I love pics! However, all these happy baby and children's pics make me a little (more) broody, so might not be the best idea in the world...

VictorianSqualor · 05/08/2008 14:52

Lol. I could show you kitten pictures instead?

OP posts:
SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 15:13

Oh yes yes yes, I LOVE kittens!!!

scorpio1 · 05/08/2008 15:14

AHEM

i had kittens too

How are yours, VS?

SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 15:16

(Dithering about whether or not cats at the moment though, as my two have been bringing in big squicky (honestly) frogs every night for the last couple of days!!!)

VictorianSqualor · 05/08/2008 15:23

So cute.
They're walking a bit better now, they haven't learnt to climb out of the box yet though thank goodness!

If you go here there is a set called kittens, there are recent pics of them in it.

OP posts:
SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 15:24

Oh, scorpio [hugs]. I had mine operated as soon as they could, as I get too attached and feared I'd end up with about 356 kittens, wanting to keep them all...

scorpio1 · 05/08/2008 15:28

you wait, it doesnt take them long!

That dog came from Hayle, about 8 miles from my house! Dog wardens scanned it.

SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 15:30

They are SOOOO cute. Those little paws when they're so tiny - you just want to kiss them...

Now I want kittens and babies. I'm going to send my DH to you for an explanation

SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 15:39

VS, just looked through all your photos (sorry, really can't help myself, and R's been sleeping all day!) - I love, love, love the quiver lip one - if you haven't already, you HAVE to have that one framed!

SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 15:48

here's a pic of my cat, Eugenie, and other one of her sister, Gobolina
The frog's not pictured

VictorianSqualor · 05/08/2008 16:41

That's no problem Sal.

See I've just gone on to your FLICKR and you have lots of piccies to look through, whereas I had only uploaded half of my photo collection when you looked so all the ones of me&dp looking young, in love, dumb and posing for England have only just been uploaded and you won't have seen them

FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS PHOTOS ON THEIR PC.... UPLOAD THEM TO A PHOTO HOSTING SITE SO THEY DON'T* GET LOST
It's taken em ages to do this, my music is on an external hard drive but my pics were in different folders all over the place, I lost all pics from bobby before Bobby was 18 months old once as my PC blew up
Thankfully Ella's pics are upstairs in a suitcase.

OP posts:
SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 16:49

Oh cool - now I'll have to go stalk you again

With all our family back home we have to have pics of Roelof somewhere they can see. Obviously they're not remotely interested in seeing us, haha. Oh well.

My last laptop broke, harddrive couldn't be saved, and it's shocking how much you lose! Luckily we had the photos safe, but still really, really annoying, isn't it?! I can't imagine how sad you must have felt about Bobby's lost pics

Mum2BabyRoo · 05/08/2008 16:55

I love looking at photo's too! And you all have some really lovely ones! Gorgeous children and kittens! I also want one of you kittens VS, and I would take one in a flash if I didn't already have 2! Joey and Spider are my my boys - love them!

I've also got a few new pics up of Gigi - finally one of her smiling!

SalLikesCoffee · 05/08/2008 17:06

Mum2BR (and the rest of you lucky moms!), I'm so of the smiling baby pics!!! Beautiful Mum2BR!!!
As soon as I bring out a camera (have even tried the mobile!), R puts on his "serious face"...

Love Zoey and Spider - you just want to lie somewhere in the sun with them at your side, don't you. Pref on a cold winters morning, with sun shining through window... Hmm, I'm getting homesick now, makes me think of long Sunday afternoons.
