You are not miserable CM..You are going through a horrible time.
Tis a bit tumbleweedy on 't thread these last few days though..

Tell DH I have ALOT of jobs for him to do Mrs JB.I am so sick of the sight of this ruddy shiny wall paper!

Girls back tonight.I am looking forward to seeing them but I cant pretend it hasnt been nice to have some peace

[Pinkjenny]

Didn't you see the pictures of them standing outside their house, in display of solidarity ala Posh and Becks?

Apparently she's known about his 'flings' for years, but has young children and a career based on his, so isn't about to do anything about it!

[Pinkjenny]

I felt so strongly about it, I told you twice!

They haven't denied it. Again, in manner of Posh and Becks!

[largeginandtonic]

Oh FFS what is wrong with her??? I was told something a few years ago and since then have looked on him with suspicion.

LEAVE HIM TANA

Hope she reads MN after her little stint on here a while ago.

[MKG]

Morning all. Thank you for all the well wishes and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

Now who want's to come over and help me make pies?

[largeginandtonic]

I would like to eat pies does that count?

Can i have your address MKG? FB me please

[MKG]

OH my goodness I forgot you asked me a while ago. I'm checking my e-mail now, I'll send it to you.

[JamInMyWellies]

Happy Thanksgiving MKG try and sit down for a little bit and enjoy.

Blimey there is life on the thread, I did think about posting a fictitious birth announcement to see if that got everyone back but glad to see PJ and Patrick Dempsey [ swoon ] have done it.

Still no fricking baby have got perm pains in my fanjo and the baby appears to have shifted its bum from lying beautifully on the right side to doing lord knows what. It had better not be back to back there will be lots of on all fours action.

LG&T sorry for the illness hioe oyu get some sleep soon.

By the way is anyone elses devil cherub screaming constantly Archie only stopped yesterday long enough to do his swimming lesson then started again as soon as we were out the pool. How can I stop it??

[MKG]

Jam- Muzzle?

[JamInMyWellies]

MKG mmm might work. I was thinking kennel in the garden and let in at mealtimes.

[Pinkjenny]

Jam - L has turned into a raving loony too.

[Aprilmeadow]

Hello All

Happy Thanksgiving MKG

LG&T sorry to hear that you are living in the house of Vom&Poo. Must be knackering sorting that never mind being heavily pg!

JAM was so looking forward to seeing a birth announcement.

Been super busy here. College on Monday where i found out i had passed my 1st assignment (means that i can get on with my main project now). Tuesday & Wednesday we had our business partners down so had to strip beds and re-make them as well as try and sort out some of the crap in the house. Had hair cut, not much different just a tidy. Been sorting out the staffs job descriptions today and then have to get ready for our trip to CP this weekend. Off to Longleat with the kids whilst dh goes to Marbella until Monday, at least i know the weather is as crap as here

[ShowOfHands]

((((((((((((((((((((charley)))))))))))))))))))

My sweet, what a horrible time you are having. Sounds like your nana was a very special and loved lady. What a lovely grandaughter you were to her. Can you fb me your address please?

I can't catch up. Dodgy Internet connection and the other thread won't load apart from the odd post.

Update me.

Any more babies?

[Aprilmeadow]

Charley, just wanted to let you know that i'll be thinking of you tomorrow xx

TIly, best of luck for Saturday. Hope it is as amazing as you wished xx

[charleymouse]

Thanks guys just sat listening to this

When you are old by Gretchen Peters

Have told DH to put it on so I can do my crying tonight and be strong tomorrow so to not upset DD too much.

I bought her album after hearing this on the radio, it justs makes me think of my Grandad and my Nana.

Have been to visit Nana today and put her a letter in and pictures from the kids and their new nursery photos. Popped her a touch of lippy on as well. Can't let her go without a touch of glam now can I.

Kicked up a fuss as her coffin is wrong, it is supposed to have plain sides and solid brass handles or wooden ones and they have got panelled sides and plastic handles. She would not be pleased. The funeral director apparantly rang them up whilst at my Mums and checked they could do what we wanted and they have still got it wrong. so mad with them but too late to change much really.

Have ordered lovely flowers and hopefully the florist will get that right.

Thanks for all your kind wishes, I have also had my hair done today so she doesn't think I am a scruff. I will also be wearing her smart winter coat that she gave me a few months ago. So will feel like she is hugging me as it will smell just like her.

Hi Lups glad to hear from you.

Happy Thanksgiving MKG.

Cheers SOH have been holding it together quite well I think. Will try to work out that facebook stuff later.

Thanks April, well done on the assignment.

LG&T sorry about the S&D. not pretty is it?

Hi PJ he is cute I concede.

Hey Jam I think I keep killing it with my doom and gloom .

Glad to see you all back. Take care everyone am off to grab some zzzzzzzzzzzzzs or will be pooped tomorrow.

Night night, god bless, sending you all cyber moons (which in our house consists of finger on face in circular motion and then move over to eyes shutting them nose and mouth)whilst repeating "Round like the moon, two eyes a nose and a mouth." I had three before bed every night as a kid and now DD has to have one every night as well, aaaah.

[Themasterandmargaritas]

Good luck today Charley. I will be thinking of you. I especially like the fact you put Nana's lippy on, she would be grateful I'm sure. Stay strong.

[charleymouse]

Thanks TMAM, have put the words of the reading she wanted on the order of service so if I can't manage it they will still be able to read it.

Good morning everyone, just praying the rain holds off as it is a burial.

When I got home last night after seeing my Nana i spotted our Bird of Paradise had one flower open. It is strikingly beautiful. I have now had a rummage round it and spotted a few more flower buds. We thought we had killed it repotting it as there were loads of dead leaves on it. FIL pruned it for me last night and it looks beautiful, no dead leaves and lots of new buds.

I think it is a sign as Nana had some artificial B of P flowers and I like to read into things that probably aren't there.

I used the dead plant leaves and new flowers to try to explain the circle of life to DD. Not sure if it worked though.

Anyway off to get kids up and get dressed, funeral at noon.

Will catch up later. Thanks for all your support.

[largeginandtonic]

Good luck today CM and how lovely of you to put some lippy on Nana Think of all the fun times you had together.

Jam my sweet you poor thing, the end is in sight. Is dh back to helping out yet? Is A trying to compete with the dogs barking? Muzzle may work Distraction probably better though.

MKG hope the meal was great and everybody enjoyed themselves I have your addy now, ta. No stalking i promise

Hmmmmm what to get for my secret santa...

The vom and poo has been gone since yesterday avo, fingers crossed that is IT!

The boy woke at 5 and did not go back to sleep, why? I have little love right now...

[MmeJaffa1ofyour5aday]

Thing of you & your family today Charlie. (((hugs)))

Good luck tomorow Tilly, have an amazing day, sorry I couldn't make it...... LOL

[largeginandtonic]

Are you on MSN MrsJB?

[JamInMyWellies]

Hope all goes as well as it can today Charley. Your Nan would be very proud of you and the way you are dealing with it all. x

LG&T DP is being much better think it has struck him how close it is all getting last night the two of us sat down and the realisation was OMG in a couple of wks we are going to have another baby. You would have thought that the size of my belly would have given it away. How are you feeling are you manageing to get any rest atall??

MKG how was Thanksgiving, are you having to go to work today or are you having a rest? I have very very fond memories of Thanksgiving from my time in NY we used to have everyone over to mine for a massive meal then lots of games of twister and silliness.

[Pinkjenny]

Thinking of you CM. Big hugs coming your way. (((hugs)))

[Aprilmeadow]
