Muppet - Thats fantastic news!!! So so pleased for you, must be a massive weight off your mind

CrochetDivaMadeTheElvesNewHats · 19/12/2008 12:50

Muppet - just saw your news on FB - had to pop in to tell you how pleased I am for you!

StefkaSnowAngel · 19/12/2008 13:37

I picked up my secret santa today! Thank you Lisa! So beautifully wrapped. (Sorry Crochet - my wrapping is rubbish!).

Well done to Eren!

So glad that the scan was good muppet - how exciting for you and your DH

Good luck to Karl with his solo today!

muppet - WONDERFUL NEWS I hope the migrains ease of soon.

LES - Snap, Jane is running full speed round the house as well as dancing!!! She has learnt how to do spins now...she goes round and round giggling like made until she falls then starts again! She is also able to go up and down stairs at a worryingly fast pace!!!! And she also says Nana a million times a day...she points at the bananas shouting it and grabs the phone shouting it (to talk to nana on the phone!!!) Its amazing how fast they grow! Hope Karl is ok doing his solo

well done Eren (the FB pics are fab!)

Off to wrap xmas pressies now

Just quickie...sooo behind with the preparations/decorations etc ..
Muppet, thrilled to bits for you (though I hope its a girl so you can go down the pink aisles for a change) Yes I'm still up for a meet up at 11....which hotel again?

alicet · 19/12/2008 15:49

Well I am still in Newcastle. Came home from work at lunchtime on Tues feeling rough and have been in bed pretty much since then with the closest thing to flu I have ever had. Still feeling crap tbh. Thankfully we managed to get boys into nursery everyday this week as dh has been poorly too and it has been all we can do to get them up and to bed each day. Desperately hoping to be well enough tomorrow to drive to mum and dads as I really want to be able to spend some time with my sister!

Stefka sorry to hear about the lump. You have done absolutely the right thing to get it checked out though and fingers crossed that all will turn out fnie when you get it checked at the hospital xxx

Muppet delighted to hear the scan was all fine!

Sorry that was all my ill brain could take in!! Thinking of the rest of you and hope you're all well xxx

I'll facebook you my mobile number xxx

(am very excited to meet up xx)

J2O · 19/12/2008 20:32

oooh Muppet-hope you have a lovely weekend xxx

Mine · 19/12/2008 21:32

ahh Muppett i'm so glad the scan went well
i know you were really anxious about it.

Now you can tell the whole world (if you already haven't of course!!!)

JaffaCakesRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 19/12/2008 21:38

Muppet - so glad the scan went well - bit strange on the jump in dates! Really looking forward to tomorrow.

Stefka - hugs to you. I'm sure everything will be fine but it can't be nice waiting.

Mine - well done Eren for walking.

Dal - glad the hv was so positive about Dylan. It must be nice to have some 'proper' advice for a change!

Inzi - glad Jane is sleeping and being happy/giggly.

Alice - hope you're feeling better soon and get to see your sister.

Finally got round to putting the tree & decorations up tonight - Anya stares and shouts at the twinkly lights. Have now finished work until 5 Jan (yay!) apart from having to drop a file into the office on Monday, but that's no great hassle.

Anya was ill yesterday - a temp and generally feeling crap I think as she was very clingy. Thankfully she was a bit better this morning and fully recovered by the time she woke from a long nap this afternoon. So only me who's not been ill yet - saving it up for Christmas Day no doubt!

Hi to all.

LisaLessLumpy · 19/12/2008 22:01

I've not been ill yet either, it is bound to happen at some point though

Muppet - glad the scan went well, you can get on and enjoy Xmas now

TLESinChristmasStockings · 19/12/2008 22:59

hiya ladies
I am in total agony my gum infection has come back again..so since 4pm when it really started hurting i have had 4 neurofen, 4 paracetomol and 1 anti biotic, plus rinsed with listerine about 30 times just cos it numbs gum for few minutes.

roll on midnight when i can take next lot of pain killers and antibiotics then i can hopefully go to bed...

Apricotsinbrandy · 19/12/2008 23:06

Evening ladies,

I wanted to wish you all a very HAPPY CHRISTMAS and a wonderful New Year!!!

Am rushed off my feet as you can probably imagine, with a big trip to get ready for and Christmas to sort and that annoying work nonsense getting in the way of all the things I need to get done. Anyway, we're all v excited, we're having Christmas with my family tomorrow, then we're off to Heathrow on Tuesday and arrive in Singapore Christmas morning. Finally get to Christchurch on the 27th. I'm not quite sure what happens to Boxing Day!!!!

Muppet- so pleased your scan went well.
Stefka - fingers and toes crossed that everything will be fine for you.
Alice - sorry to hear you're poorly. Get well soon!

Everyone else - have a great Christmas break with your gorgeous little ones.

See you guys next year!!!

love

Apricot xxxx

StefkaSnowAngel · 20/12/2008 08:06

How are the gums TLES? Hope it's not too awful. Dareh has his first cloth nappy on btw and is also dressed entirely in Zachery's old clothes!

Hope you have a good trip Apricot!

I have also not been ill Jafa and Lisa - DH has and so has my aunt so I am crossing all my fingers and toes that I stay healthy over Christmas. Hope you feel better Alice.

TLESinChristmasStockings · 20/12/2008 11:00

Stefka, gums are fine today but i must carry on with the anti-biotics they are like horse pills lol.

Waheyyyy you are a real nappy convert!!!! Glad the clothes fitted hun....I still have bags and bags left lol.

ds1 was an angel this morning he got Zachary up when he woke brough him in the living room made him a bottle and put a movie on for them both, leaving me to sleep after popping all the pain killers last night. I slept until 9.40 when they came in to wake me up ooppss bad mummy alert!

He also cleared the living room up and made me a coffee....

TLESinChristmasStockings · 20/12/2008 11:02

oh Stef, meant to say let me know how you get on with the nappies as I have far too many lol I am a bit of a pram and Nappy addict so I can pass the nappies on to you as i think i have somewhere in the region of 200 lol.

StefkaSnowAngel · 20/12/2008 11:33

Send Karl round to mine once he's finished looking after you! Glad you got a lie in.

TLESinChristmasStockings · 20/12/2008 12:10

LOL Stefka, you have heard him lol, and anyways he would drive you nuts over Dr Who and anything else he has an interest in.

Oh had his parents evening last week and if he carries on the way he is he is looking at a level 5 in SATS tests. He has also been put in G&T for math and science, he has been in G&T for literacy for 3 1/2 yrs. (proud mummy)

hi everyone else...hope the build up to christmas day is going more soothly for all of you than it is for me

Hi everyone else

CrochetDivaMadeTheElvesNewHats · 20/12/2008 17:23

at your nappy stash tLES - I thought I was doing well to have 2 sets of 20 - one small, 1 big ... Well done to your ds! Hope your gum infection calms down soon enough!

Apricot - have a lovely trip!

stefka - really hoping you don't come down with anything over Christmas - my friend from work popped in today - and the no voice thing has absolutely decimated the staff in school: the head, both deputies, and 2 of the 4 senior teachers have been off with it: they're never off (mostly because they spend a lot less time in front of actual kids than the rest of us - cynical, moi?) ... so I don't feel like I'm quite so bad for not having been in!

I've just sold 14 of R's old wooden train set trains to my friend for her son - she paid me £5 each for them - that'll come in quite handy thank you very much!

Am looking forward to SCD tonight - hopefully I'll gte to see it - I'm feeling really whooshy-headed again ...

FLORIAinexcelsisdeo · 20/12/2008 17:23

oops repeating myself

TLESinChristmasStockings · 20/12/2008 18:22

Crochet lol I have a nappy fetish! I can't help it i think i need to join nappies anonymous.

Oh hun how much do you want to make me som e wool soakers? I desperatly need them lol
