Ds1 was a bit crabby esp in the afternoons and evenings for about 4 days I'm expecting J to be hopefully feeling better by Friday, I've had to cancel his jabs tomorrow and will most likely cancel his cranio for Thursday, and yet again will miss pilates myself oh well.

I'm not sure Veggie, I'll tell him and see if they can do anything. I hope J is better soon.

Cat, you could have a future football superstar. Just make sure he plays for Arsenal

DS1 is 2 on the 20th and I can not believe how quickly it has gone.

Oh that's next Friday soon. Are you doing anything nice for it. Big parties have always freaked ds1 out until recently so we have always done little family celebrations. Oh and a BBQ at home for the adults.

We're having a party on the Friday evening. Just family and close friends. My Dad is up for the weekend and on the Saturday we are going on the steam railway as DS1 loves trains.

MIL isn't happy as she wants the party on the Saturday but I told her yesterday that it was friday and I was not changing it.

Oh he'll love the steam railway. Theard there is a model railway museum at York Station have you been there with him. I think I am turning into a railway nerd against my will because of ds1.

What is up your MILs bott bott, I'm sure if you had planned the party for Saturday she would have wanted it Friday. Do you think she is trying to create tension for you, when you already have the stress of DHs job stuff going on. That whole thing about telling dh you should get a job and the new York thing feels like she is trying to cause trouble between you and your DH.

He does love it. We have to go nearly every day just to look at the trains. He gets very upset when the trains leave. We saw a diesel train there Sunday and he is still crying about the "Diesel gone"

He loves the railway museum. I think I am like you I am slowly becoming a train nerd. I saw that Thomasland and I so want to be able to drive so I can take him.

MIL's problem is that my SIL can't come on the Friday. But we see my Dad once in a blue moon. The last time was when DS2 was born so I refuse to rearrange it.

Oh no, please don't say I may change into a train nerd if DS is "that way inclined"!
There is a family story about me throwing the most massive tantrum in york railway museum aged about 4 because it was "boring" so probably not.
Gah, I trying to re-learn some maths so that I can teach it to DH for a work interview he has tomorrow. It is doing my head in! I used to be so good at this stuff, but now I am a thickie.

I am trying to re-learn that is.

I love family stories like that SL. My mum loves mountains and was always taking us to Scotland twice a year for holidays. But my grandad has a video of her when she was about 10 sat at the bottom of Snowdon screaming her head of that she hates mountains and she'll never go near another one in her life

Your grandad has a video of your mum at 10? That is very technologically advanced, I am impressed with your grandads gadgetry!
I love mountains now too, but I HATED walking when I was a kid. To be honest i prefer them on a bike now though, still find walking a bit boring.
Oh and there are lots of stories about my childhood tantrums . And adulthood tantrums too come to mention it

Maybe she was older. I'm sure grandad said he had it on video but that would have been in 1073. So probably not possible.

Oh I might give him a ring tomorrow for a natter and ask him. I know they got one really early as he was working for British Gas and got loads and loads of money.

1073????? My mum is not that old She'd kill me. I mean 1973.

1073: are you exaggerating your mother's ancientness Kayz?

I hate to suggest this, but DS1 loves the videos of steam trains on YouTube (and there are an awful lot of them)

that makes me feel ancient tho, my (not so much) older sister was born in 1973...

Kayz's mum

Yup that is her!!!!

I am such a pedant - I googled 'anglo-saxon woman's to start with then realised 1073 would be 7 years after the Norman invasion

must get out more

Might have been a super 8, but more importantly your mum is only 9 years older than me, and only a couple of years older than my brother how weird. Though his oldest DD, my niece is 18 this year so not that weird, I guess it's me that is weird starting so late to have kids.

Kayz do you have a link for the weight loss thread. I just did 15 mins of the Wii fitness coach but don't think it will make up for a week if eating like a German (albeit a vegetarian one).

Effie I was 1 in 1973!

LOL Effie.

I think she thinks she is a Norman. She is keeping pigs in the garden. Most people might have a rabbit etc but not my mum. She has 2 Oxford Sandy and Black pigs.

To add to the 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pig
