Am SOOOOOO of the Bristol crew...

And Dizzy.

no1putsantaupthechimney · 09/12/2008 22:19

night ladies. I have been beckoned by dh. he has done a 12 bhour shift today and has agreed to go back in at 2 am as they are short.

You're in my phone as Dizzy!

oopsIstuffedaturkey · 09/12/2008 22:21

I can vouch that in RL Sazzles doesn't really yak alot

Poppy - I can't recall when your DD was born? DD was 30th August and still at 14.5weeks hasn't got to 12lbs. There is no worry they HV said - she is happy, wet and smelly (occasionally at the same time) so not to worry about weight gain.

oopsIstuffedaturkey · 09/12/2008 22:22

Sazzles is sazzles in my phone

dizzyjingles · 09/12/2008 22:23

you're in my phone as Poppy too

I met one of the girls from the local thread in tesco the other day, she's a lovely girl and I introduced her to DH as one of the other girls names' I was mortified - she was exceptionally pleasant and agreed I couldn't exactly call her by her user name in RL!!

oh no No1 what a horrid shift, thats DH off till Fri but he's slept most of the day so will watch crappy tv till late and sleep in again tomorrow - are we seeing a pattern here?!?

no1putsantaupthechimney · 09/12/2008 22:24

thanks for link dizzy. i am too thick to work it out. would prob catch train from Sheffield says its about 3 hours.
just says would be cheaper for single tickets but cant work out what to click on doh

oopsIstuffedaturkey · 09/12/2008 22:25

going to top up DD in her sleep as she only fed for 10mins before bed and I don't fancy a 2 am waking!

Need paracetamol and sleep as little man in my head is using his jackhammer again.

Am assuming it is okay for paracetamol and BF?

dizzyjingles · 09/12/2008 22:25

Sazzles is sazzles in my phone
Captain Caveman is that in my phone and Poppy gets her full title as Poppysocks

if my DH ever suspects me as having an affair I would imagine he'd be on the phone to you lot first thinking its some kind of code

dizzyjingles · 09/12/2008 22:26

yes oops, paracetamol is fine, hope your head is better in the morning and you get a decent sleep

No1 - if you tell me where to and from I can have a look for you if it helps?

no1putsantaupthechimney · 09/12/2008 22:26

ah but he says he gets more rest at work
due to me getting up with ds every hour from 11.30pm last night till 6 am.
He was up too, but not actualy up

oopsIstuffedaturkey · 09/12/2008 22:27

DH just sent me an e-mail offering to buy me a tumble drier for Christmas - do I hit him or give him my cold? Acctually I might hit him - he will expect looking after as cold will only come out when he is home from trip.

Did that make any sense?

no1putsantaupthechimney · 09/12/2008 22:28

*dizzy you are a star.
Sheffield to Bristol (temple meads)
any time say from 8ish thanks

poppystocking · 09/12/2008 22:28

Thanks oops. DD2 is 3 weeks older and not drastically low on the infamous growth chart. Just unnerving as DD1 was always pretty high on them (and I worried that I was over-feeding her ). She is now pretty small for her age though and although I'm a reasonable size, the rest of my immediate family are all on the small side, so maybe that's what it is. And she is certainly happy, wet and smelly as often as you'd hope!

oopsIstuffedaturkey · 09/12/2008 22:28

he is only sitting opposite me too - so I guess he knew what my response would be!

no1putsantaupthechimney · 09/12/2008 22:28

oops hit him with it

oopsIstuffedaturkey · 09/12/2008 22:30

I really am going now

dizzyjingles · 09/12/2008 22:33

No1

07:53 gets you in at 10:41 to temple meads
16:30 gets you to sheffield at 19:20

for £105 on a supersaver return

thats a long day on a train for you though, 6hrs return

no1putsantaupthechimney · 09/12/2008 22:35

mmmm yes think i found one for £34 return but not sure.
still long time to travel

dizzyjingles · 09/12/2008 22:35

No1 remind me what your DH does again that he gets a rest at work

oops don't look the gift of a tumble drier in the mouth - very handy things you know night !

dizzyjingles · 09/12/2008 22:36

£34 is very good! sheffield airport goes to Belfast, maybe we should all meet up there

dingdongmerrilyfromhome · 09/12/2008 22:37

hello ...

back to my question, would arriving at 2pm (train would arrive 1.40pm) on the 13th be a bit late? will anyone still be around at that time?

no1putsantaupthechimney · 09/12/2008 22:37

lol he works for Hsbc Bank in the computer centre, just been promoted to a higher management level so has to go in to show willing
iykwim.

poppystocking · 09/12/2008 22:38

Night oops. Paracetamol ok for bf (well was given just that post-CS in hospital ) so am assuming it's ok! Hope you feel better tomorrow and that Poppy gives you a night off.

Still v of the meet-up.
