Should be good fun. I think.

I'll let you know.

And next weekend is... drumroll please...

BARRY MANILOW!!!

How's the brood now LG&T - vom and poo stopped?

[MKG]

Good morning everyone. See when I pass out early I wake up extrememly early not knowing what to do with myself.

My food was a hit of course. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm an amazing cook, or if my inlaws just don't know what good food tastes like. Yesterday was crazy, and I'm glad it's over, but it was fun, and the boys were very well behaved which made it better.

I have to work today. Black friday {scared shitless emoticon} The single busiest retail day of the year. But I called the girls doing the midnight shift and they said it's been dead, so maybe the economy is preventing people from shopping a lot.

Charley--I hope today goes ok for you.

LG&T--please don't stalk me, I have enough going on right now

Jam--I hope you're doing ok, and I think you are replacing fond memories for ones of running around like a loon for a few days.

[largeginandtonic]

Vom and poo free

About fecking time.

I am having a meet here on 3rd, anyone? There will be no Manillow man i am afraid.

Scoot? TYG?

April is coming about 1ish, i have the consultant in the morning (joy) for a growth scan and general have a go at me. Then i am free!

[MKG]

PJ-Have a good time. I'm so every time I hear people are meeting up. I think I'm just going to start wearing a pin that says "fanjo" on it, and see who I can make contact with. I met some Irish women the other day at work and they were completely lovely and I just wanted to say "In Cod we trust", but didn't.

[TheGreatScootini]

Well I jsut wrote a lone post and have lost it.I beg of you!

Hope it goes well CM..Sending you a big hug..

Have been trying to tax my car and have lost the reg certificate.This happens every year.FFS!I could kick something.EVERY YEAR!

Have also just found out my MOT is due on 11 December.Think it will cost a fortune as car is making an ominous clunky sound.Might be my CP money up the spout (Will obv pay you the deposit back AM if I cant go and it means you and PJ cant go as will be my fault)FFS!

Happy Thanksgiving MKG?Any pie left?

How are you doing now gin..jesus what a nightmare!I cant make the 3rd.Gutted too as am off on the 2nd so could've come then.Its ages since I ve seen you.

Im betting on 10th December for baby Jam's arrival.All the best people are born on that day (Is my birthday of course!)

PJ-(And anyone else whose interested) there is a second date for Baby Loves Disco!Will investigate further.

Have been up all night with L and M (coughing again, its all getting a bit dull now and am thinking of taking out shares in Calpol) and now feel like shite (as usual).I do not feel festive in the slightest and usually by this time of year im decking the halls and that.
Doesnt help that the man who was going to paper our lounge for us next week cant now do it (has hurt his arm) so now we will be having Christmas with stripped walls and no carpet.(no point in having carpet if we have to paper and paint after)Am going to ring around some handymen now but dont like my chances.Wallpapering is beyond DH and I 's skills!

[JamInMyWellies]

As long as its not 5th Dec (my birthday) I dont mind. I know I am a selfish old bag but I dont want to share my birthday.

[TheGreatScootini]

How old will you be Jammy? (and more pertinently how old do you feel?)My answers..29.Feel 55! (Look 19 though )

[JamInMyWellies]

I am vv old I am going to be 33 Still feel about 24 though shame I dont look it.

Does anyone think mumsnet is a bit boring now cod is not here I am missing all those rambling threads about nothingness and I have no isead whats happened to style and beauty.

[Pinkjenny]

Er, Scoot woman - you are coming to CP if I have to drag you there.

Jam - Happy Birthday, I'll be 32 next time so not far behind you. It is very quiet on MN at the mo - it's all gone a bit weird.

[TheGreatScootini]

I miss Cod.
I am going to try.But moneys too tight to mention here at the moment and the car might take up what I had aside for CP.I wasnt banking on the farking MOT being due.I thought it wasnt till April 09.(that was my old car)

[JamInMyWellies]

OMG boke boke boke, am meant to be doing my hypno CD while A is sleeping but am watching apparitions that I taped bloody nora that programme is disturbing.

[TheGreatScootini]

I didnt watch more than 10 mins of it.I knew I wouldnt be able to sleep if I did.

[Pinkjenny]

I am 'annoying colleague' today. At the moment I am singing Christmas songs. I've done:

Last Christmas
Snow is Falling
All I want for Christmas is you

Currently on Band Aid, the original version, natch.

I bet they're so glad they made me permanent.

[Pinkjennybellrock]

I'm off ladies, Tilly, have a wonderful day.

byeeeee

[TheGreatScootini]

Yes..All the best for tomorrow Tilly.Have a gorgeous day!Heres to the beautful bride.>>raises cup of tea in lieu of champagne

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Thank you all. I'm soooo excited Will be back soon with pics etc.

CM - hope today went ok

[ShowOfHands]

TSM, good luck, enjoy, dance, drink, eat, kiss. Bet you're going to look stunning.

[charleymouse]

Thanks girls, it went really well, DCs stole the show melted hearts all round, lots of rellys told me Nana lived for them. Halfway through DD started crying an asked me to get Nana out of the box but we had a big hug and she was okay. She called it "Nanas going in a box party"

Held it together and managed the reading without breaking down. Vicar had given me a prep talk prior to service so I manned up and got on with it and did for my Nana.

DDs birthday tomorrow today, this time 4 years ago I was calling midwife as in labour and getting TENS machine on

Have a wonderful day Tilly hope it is all you dreamed of and more.

Night night must go as will need matchsticks to prop eyes open soon and sure DD will think 4:00 am is suitable waking time a s she is so excited.

Thanks for all your support.

[ShowOfHands]

Well done.

Happy birthday MiniMouse.
