How will you recognise each other - a yellow rose between your teeth? or just questioning everyone you nmeet carrying a baby

are you Miamla?
no
Are you sambo?
no
Are you miamla?
No
Are you Sambo?
No?

Miamla · 05/01/2009 12:21

i think asking everyone with a baby is the way to go! i'll just have to remember to say "yes" if anyone asks me if my name is Miamla because sssh this is a secret, but its not really!

Miamla · 05/01/2009 12:22

actually, we can ignore everyone with a baby girl at Paddington given that we both have boys.

sambo303 · 05/01/2009 12:28

there's a photo of me in my profile

sambo303 · 05/01/2009 12:29

Miamla · 05/01/2009 12:34

a photo?? where's the fun in that!

i do indeed...its fushia pink and bought for him by his daddy! he still looks v boyish in it though..honest!

BucketsofReindeerPoo · 05/01/2009 13:10

Yay, more meetuppers! I get into Temple Meads 10.45ish so will FB Sazzles and VG for their mobiles so I can come and find them on the day since they'll be about earlier. Oops, are you on the same train as me or are you driving?

Have gone shriekingly ballistic for the first time in my life today, am strangely calm now. DH got the bus home after his snip this morning (yes yes bravo and all that) so he's obviously fine, mentions we don't have any paracetamol. I get home with the boys, Kurt who then refuses to sleep or sit quietly and DS1 who has had a v hard time at his 1st day back at pre-school. Very upset and angry with me, threatening to punch everyone and specifically Kurt for the first time. So I make him stay (screaming) in his room til he promises not to punch anyone and pop in to ask DH if he wants a sandwich because I am starving (didn't I mention the hospital mixup and 30min wait for them to tell me he'd gone home?). 'I'd rather have a paracetamol' he says accusingly. Well I just screamed obscenities at him!

PetitFilou1 · 05/01/2009 13:39

Buckets Can you wait for me? I'm aiming for about then too (will try and book ticket later) I'm on FB too but don't know which RL FB person you are! I will have to leave in time to get home for school pick up at 3.15

PetitFilou1 · 05/01/2009 13:41

You will recognise me by my being the thread granny with the red bugaboo (unless I take the maclaren which I might for ease of getting on and off trains)

BucketsofReindeerPoo · 05/01/2009 13:44

Clue: My name is the most popular girl's name 2008 I believe! (but when I was little even English teachers mispronounced it.)

Well if we're bringing stereotypical smells with us, I must smell of sweaty fleeces and yacht varnish coming from Southampton.
