POOR B!!!! My arse, poor mummy more like.

Hmmmm vomming not great, the smell is bad. Starve her just in case

I had no such posters, i am older than you am i not? 31? No boy bands for me. I was playing Prince and Alanah Myles.

Pinkjenny · 23/10/2008 11:42

I'm 31 too my sweet, as of June last year. 40 is just around the corner. Apparently my 30s will be a time of self discovery. Or something.

To try and recapture some street cred, I love Prince too. Went to see him on the Gold tour. Fab!

Re: the starving - my mum has already given her two packets of chocolate buttons (alert the food police) and a biscuit this morning. On her head be it.

Mama's dancin'; there's a bay-beh on her shoulder. The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky. The boy could sing, knew how to move, everythaaaanngggg. Always wanting more; he'd leave you longin' forrrrr. Black velvet in that little boy's smile. Blacccckkk vellllvet in that slow southern style. Etc.

Must go and download that.

Hi all

Big Congrats on your pink one MKG

LG&T -sorry to hear you're suffering

Sky - glad the christening went well - pics are lovely

AM - roll on half term

PJ - NKOTB ?!? They sort of passed me by a bit (although can probably just about remember the words to Hang Tough ). I'm a bit older than you though - my wall posters were Wham and the kid from Fame

Hello to CM, SOH, TMAM, TYG, Jam, Scoot and anyone else I've missed (I'm nowhere near as good as CM at remembering everyone )

Sooooooooo

MY DRESS IS ARRIVING NEXT THURSDAY

Suffice to say I am slightly relieved

Pinkjenny · 23/10/2008 11:58

Tilly - don't even get me started on Wham. My criteria for a dancing partner is that they have to know all the words to 'I'm your man'. After 4 years of marriage, even dh knows them.

I am so excited about your wedding. My invite hasn;t arrived though.

VASTlargeginandbloodymary · 23/10/2008 12:10

She hasnt posted invites Pink or mine would be here

I posted my relief on your thread Tills! Am all goose pimply for you

Oooh that track is fab TYG I loved her and would sing v loudly along to it.

So who is coming to mine next week then? How many cakes do i need to bake?

I may not send Hugs to playschool, the boy is still asleep. I cant face waking him for the 4th day running. Poor Hugs. Will make some cookies with him or something.

Now what shall i have for lunch? Salt and vinegar discos were a while ago...

MKGisHavingaGirl · 23/10/2008 12:15

Good morning everyone.

Pink- "You go the right stuff . . .baaby" I was never too into NKOTB but was in 5th grade when they came out and remember them fondly.

VASTlargeginandbloodymary · 23/10/2008 12:17

So MKG girlie names???????

MKGisHavingaGirl · 23/10/2008 12:25

We are currently arguing over it. I think I came up with one yesterday that dh actually liked. So I am waiting for confirmation until I make a formal announcement.

But I think it will be Yesenia Jade. IT will probably change a 100 times, because Cruz was going to be Sebastian until I randomly changed my mind.

twelveyeargap · 23/10/2008 12:41

The boy seems to like me singing it. Doesn't mind it anyway.

G&T, would love to come on Thurs. Let me have a think. Am a bit worried about getting stuck on the M3 with the pair of them screaming.

VASTlargeginandbloodymary · 23/10/2008 12:44

Is he too young for Medised then?

Thursday should be quiet day on the road? Go on... i am on house arrest from next week

Bet she doesnt even attempt an escape this time.

Did i mention she is oblique already? She lies on the placenta like a cushion, just like Beau did. I think i will just have a natural breech deleivery and scrae the bejesus out of them all in hospital (if i make it)

AprilMeadow · 23/10/2008 12:50

Oi listen here, no cake baking for you. The whole purpose of my visit was to bring you nice things!!!!

Wasn't ever a NKOTB fan as i am slightly too young..... Take That all the way for me

Phew what a relief Tilly, bet you cant wait to try it on again.

Am sitting in our lovely new study just trying to sort out all the paper work that has been sorted all over the house... oh what fun!

off to get the little monkies angels from nursery

Tillyscoutsmum · 23/10/2008 13:04

I can't believe none of you have received your invites ?!? They were posted...ooh... months ago. Blardy Royal Mail You will have to be virtual guests - champagne drinking and cheesy disco dancing are all essential

AM - I am looking forward to trying it on. I haven't even tried the dress on in the red colour yet (only the ivory version). I keep looking on the website and it is a very bright red Ho hum, too late now. I am the scarlet woman

LG&T - just had cheese and mushroom omelette for lunch, if that's any good for you ? Alternatively, more salt & vinegar discos sound fab

Right - off to put Til down for a nap. She's knackered following an "awake" episode from 3.30-5am this morning. Little shit tyke

Tillyscoutsmum · 23/10/2008 13:06

Oh and PJ - dp is a big Wham fan. He and his best mate enthusiastically and embarrassingly sing Wham Rap to each other on the dance floor at these occasions. They know every word. Its kind of worrying

Pinkjenny · 23/10/2008 13:12

I am going to stop this wedding. Your dp should CLEARLY be marrying me.

charleymouse · 23/10/2008 13:40

No PJ It shoulda been me Ok TSM

Pinkjenny · 23/10/2008 13:41

I can't see Facebook in work. Tell me what it is!!!!!!!!

Pinkjenny · 23/10/2008 13:41

Or even youtube.

charleymouse · 23/10/2008 13:46

Showing my advancing years I'm afraid; this is one of my classic favourites, Yvonne Fair "It should have been me".

Have seen Take That at MEN years ago. NKOTB too old for them I'm afraid. NKOTB

Have got tickets to see Depeche Mode next May. Scoot does your dave gahan fan friend know they are touring again?

Tillyscoutsmum · 23/10/2008 14:03

Cm and PJ . I'd normally happily give him away but I'm feeling quite soppy and romantic at the moment, so I'll keep him for now, if that's ok. Watch this space though

We've just got tickets to see The Killers in Feb. Can't wait

Pinkjenny · 23/10/2008 14:37

I wonder what it says about me that my favourite members of TT and NKOTB used to be the cute ones (Joe and Mark), and now my favourites are the naughty ones (Jason and Donnie).

AprilMeadow · 23/10/2008 15:03

All this talk of concerts gave me a great idea for dh's xmas present, so just bought 2x tickets for him and a mate to go and see Metallica!!

Pinkjenny · 23/10/2008 15:17

AM - I've emailed you re your Project Proposal xx

TheGreatScootini · 23/10/2008 20:24

Right thats it!I cant stand it any more.I cannot go to work.I can not do it.There is too much to do, I am knackered, I cant do it.Im fed fed up with it.And im fed up of coming home to deal with tired and cross kids, cook, clean and everything else.There must be more to life than this endless sodding drudge.
My boss is back from holiday on Monday.I am going to tell her that if she doesnt take some of my work off me and give me a fighting chance of getting it done and getting it done well instead of it being slap dash because Im in a rush all the time then I will have a sodding nervous breakdown.
I was in a review with a customer today and he started to cry (he is going to have to move out because of his challenging behaviour) and I felt nothing but with him because of the time it was taking. at self.Have totally lost sight of why I got into this work in the first place.
When I picked L and M up L said, 'I dont want you, I want Daddy'Usually that doesnt bother me as she says the opposite to DH most of the time.Today I burst into tears and the CM thought I was mental.I have just had enough.

rant over.
TYG-Book is called, imaginatively, Crack House.By Harry Keeble and someone else whose name I cant remember.Centres around Haringey.(not the nice bits)Sorry re lack of response re today but got to work and didnt stop for breath, (see above )Are you about next Fri though as am bringing kids in to go to Halloween party at work, could call to you first if you are around in the afternoon?

With re tomorrow, I dont think I can come.Really sorry and this is laughable and a bit shameful when Jam is heavily preggers and what not, but am just too too tired.And would be no company.And also my stomach is giving me terrible bother still and think I will have to go back to Dr's.Which im dreading as he will make me go for tests involving cameras in unspeakable places.

Im sticking with the OC and my Sky plussed party of 5 PJ..I didnt like NKOTB..But only because I didnt fancy any of them.

Lovely name MKG..

Yes please to shampoo gintonic..my hair is desperate for a cut and looks absurd.I will take anything at this point.No cake making.SIT DOWN!

I didnt know re Depeche Mode, CM..Thanks..might get her some tickets as she is in a tangle at the moment and for various reasons needs some cheering up..

When is wedding?I may get started on the virtual champers early.I could greatly do with getting trollied right about now Not that I would ever be the sort of wedding guest who gets inapropriately smashed and spends most of the night in the toilet/dancing outrageously/flirting inappropriately of course.(although following my cousins wedding she has never spoken to me again for some reason )

DH out tonight watching The Courteeners (again, we saw them in Sheffield about 3 weeks ago)I'll stay at home with the kids thenWhich will be a change wont it, from all the other nights and weekends Im at home on my own with them at the moment.Oh no, thats right, it wont..because thats every night and weekend..

Scoot goes off to take off her angry hat with stressy trim, and try to bury it in the coat cupboard.
