Hooray for LG&T's Pink one! Phin must be over the moon.

[ShowOfHands]

MKG, meant to say "Underdog was an anthropomorphic superhero parody of Superman" on US television in the 60s and 70s. Google reveals all. Apparently somebody famous called Wally Cox did his voice. What a strange place you live in.

[MKG]

Oh yeah I forgot about that, they made a movie last year.

[AbbyLou]

Hi all.
LGT, great news on the pink bump. So happy for Phin, bet she's over the moon!
Not a lot happening here. Been into town this morning to do a spot of shopping, got R a duvet and cover and a pillow so she can come out of her grobags. She loves them but when I looked at the price of an 18month+ one it was cheaper to buy a duvet and 2 covers!!

[TheGreatScootini]

What a day..gaaah rubbish meetings all day (my second service is in a mess which is why they gave it me- to sort out-but I'll be beggared if I can be bothered with it all at the moment!), and all the time I could only hear out of one ear due to this miserable cold.

I noted with pride TMAM's use of 'I beg of you' earlier A scootism has passed into common parlance

Lovely pink bootees for baby gandt..

MKG..Who is that woman running with John McCain?Is it very controversial over there about her preggers daughter?

Hey hey Lups..nice to see you..

yay looking forward to Sunday already I may call you tomorrow AM as the AA routeplanner wont find your road for some reason and I might need directions for the very end bit.Are you sure you wont come SOH? My taxi is very comfy and supplies gingerbread for the journey..

My DH likes Ugly Betty too CAQL..As well as The OC, and most especially Americas Next Top Model.Rumours abound about him at work.

Where is TYG?!I texted her today as I needed desperate parking advice..I saw a frock in a shop window in Crouch End,as I was driving through and I fell in love with it, but I couldnt find anywhere to park so I could go in and get hold of it.I need her encyclopaedic knowledge of North London, and I need it now!

DH is on his works conference all week, blah,blah, 5 star hotel, free bar for 3 days, golf, paintball, whatever..Alright for some Humph..

L and M have been very funny tonight making faces at each other and howling with laughter..very cute

[AprilMeadow]

Scoot, if you put the postcode in but with the last 3 digits being 1AQ it will come up with a road that starts off as Kings W...... When you get to that roundabout instead of turning left turn right and we are the first turning/driveway on the right

[AprilMeadow]

oooh also forgot to say Pink. I will record the final of BB for you on my sky+ so that you can watch it on Sat CAQL reminded me that it was the final!

YOu sound like you are having a great time at work lately Scoot

[MKG]

Sara Palin is running with McCain. She's taking a bit of a beating right now, but I think she's great.

It's a mixed reaction to her daughter being pregnant some people say "She can't control her daughter, how can she run the country", while other say "It's great that she supporting her daughter, and this situation can help open a dialogue for parents and teens". Overall, I don't think it will have an effect. Now people are so interested in her because before last week no one knew who she was.

[ShovellyJoe]

Potential VP Palin is as mad as a badger. MKG if I were you I'd hotfoot it over here as fast as your pregnant little legs can carry you.

Scoot, I wish I could come. Natwest still have my money held to ransome.

[cravingaquietlife]

ShovellyJoe where's that come from?

Have an estate agent round tomorow to put a price on the place! Best fill the cupboards tidy up.

[ShovellyJoe]

I'm ShovellyJoes, Erica's uphill gardener of an ex-boyfriend currently detained for the crime of patricide.

[cravingaquietlife]

OK, I googled ShovellyJoe.....

[cravingaquietlife]

PMSL I guessed it was to that reference rather than the 19 yr old, obsessed forum poster, who, apparently is a compulsive liar!

[Pinkjenny]

ShovellyJoe - changing your name won't protect you from the slanderous comment you made about me on another thread...

Scoot - I said 'I beg of you' too!!! Must get an original brain.

Now listen ladies, Mark is coming with me this weekend. So mum's the word, OK? We are happy as larry.

[AprilMeadow]

LOL will not say a word.

[Pinkjenny]

I have just made a list of all the crap things we need to bring with us. It may fill two cars.

[ShovellyJoe]

PJ:

Clothes for you, Mark and L.
Toothbrush x 3
Hairbrush

What else do you need?

I stand by my slanderous comments btw!

I'm sure AM has lots of pink crap toys L can play with.

[cravingaquietlife]

PJ, you are going to a house with a wee one the same age as yours! There cant be too much you'll need. (says she who seems to fill a people carrier with crap for a day trip)

[ElizabethHornswaggle]

I'm rather pretty, though I sound like a character from Fraggle Rock.

[CilantroLarry]

I'm here too...

[Pinkjenny]

I don't travel light, ladies, It's one of PJ's many failings.

[CilantroLarry]

I put cilantro in everything. Everybody has failings. Or vices which are more interesting.

I don't have any vices, SailorJoe told me so. That's why I'm boring.

[Pinkjenny]

Stop it! You're freaking me out.

[Pebblemum]

Morning all

Congrats to LG&T for the pink one

Jordan had his first day at secondry school yesterday. I had been worried he wouldnt get up on time but it was actually him who woke me up at bloody 6am!!! I then had to put up with him asking if he could get his uniform on every ten minutes until finally I said yes, didnt want him getting it on too early and creasing it. He looked sooo grown up in it. I dont think he enjoyed the long walk to school though, it takes 40mins lol. He loved his lessons though and although he only really knows two people in is tutor (and he doesnt really know them that well) he seems really happy. Today he gets to experience Design and Technology and PE.

Ethan woke up yesterday thinking he was going to school Luckily his little friend next door isnt starting school until the 15th so he was able to play with her for a little while but once she had gone out he was riding his bike round on his own looking really sad and lonely. We have decided to take him over the fair tomorrow with lots of 2ps so he can play on the machines, then we will go swimming on Monday, just so he has something to do to take his mind off not being able to go to school yet. Today we are meeting MIL for lunch at the local Harvester.

The best thing about having to get up soo early now (before Jordans school was only 5mins away so we didnt get up until 7.45am is I am able to get any housework done nice and early before Alana wakes up. Today I had managed to do my mountain of ironing, load the dishwasher, put two loads of washing on and sit down to have a quiet cuppa, all before 9.30 which is good for me, im not a domestic goddess like LG&T lol

[TravellingJake]

Shame you weren't freaked out by all the Dean Gaffney kissing, huh?
