Happy Birthday William!! Hope you are having a super duper day!

Eddas - how long have you been with your family doctor? That would be a good person to put down as a 2nd reference!

Today it's Happy Birthday to Evelyn and Hensden's LO.

My bath was fab this morning and Dh got up with G so I got up at 845. Bliss! Already planning another as I had to clean everything in the bathroom before this morning's ablutions.

G is much more himself today, but still very tired. Put him down for a sleep at 1215 and he's still asleep. He did bite me just before his nap which is usually a sign he's shattered.

Going to buy paint and flooring for bathroom this afternoon. Conforming to all bank holiday sytereotypes.

My mam arrives tonight and my bro and his dp arrive tomorrow. Will be lovely to have them here.

Hope you all have a lovely long weekend

G awake!

Sorry I meant you are right Oooggs! I am losing it!

MJreturns · 10/04/2009 14:28

Glad you had a nice bath Leaky!

Eddas, CAT me whenever you like and I will do whatever I can to help you

MJreturns · 10/04/2009 14:29

Eddas, meant to say, is there anyone else within the firm you work for now that could provide you with a reference? I have worked for the same unit for years and I used my boss plus one of my senior colleagues as referees. Just a thought

StealthPolarBear · 10/04/2009 16:09

i thought today was saturday

I'm getting confused too - happy birthday to Evelyn and to Hensden's son (whose name doesn't appear on the list pasted here).

Eddas, was it you who was helping to run a local preschool? - if it was and there's someone you worked well with, they might be a good personal referee, although again, CD's suggestion of a family doctor might be a good idea. If I'm remembering it wrong, sorry.

CaptainDippy · 11/04/2009 08:34

Happy Birthday William, Keir and Rose!! I know runny is having a picnic for W today; so I hope the weather is favourable for you guys!

Feeling a bit rough here, gum still sore, nose blocked and throat raspy; but hey ho ... two Birthday parties today and haircuts - eeek! Best get on .......

2HotCrossBunsAnd1InTheOven · 11/04/2009 13:30

Afternoon ladies. Just popping on whilst DS2 is sleeping and DS1 is glued to citv! Happy birthday to all the April 07s, I can't believe they are 2 already either - it's gone so much more quickly than for DS1. We're not sure what else we are doing this Easter weekend, nothing too hectic though which is nice. Then we are having a party for Austen next Sat when more of his little friends are here.

Generally all well here, pg progressing well and we've found out it's a GIRL! I'm so excited. Still no work for DH and we're all getting used to him being at home. It's going to be an awful shock when he does finally get a job.

Hope all are well, happy and healthy xxx

elkiedee · 11/04/2009 21:03

Happy birthday William, Keir and Rose. Hope weather in Wales is better than it was in London today.

CaptainDippy · 12/04/2009 07:56

Happy Birthday George, Ruby & Austen!!!

Most of all ..... Happy Easter! to you all - Christ is risen!

Ooooh, 2hotcross ..... a giiiirl. I can, for one, thoroughly recommend them!! Pink, pink, pink .....

We're going to church thsi am, then picnic at mini railway, then tea at outlaws. Bust day! My cold is progressing and my gun still hurts; but a little better ... I'm falling to bits!!

CaptainDippy · 12/04/2009 07:59

My gun doesn't hurt at all as I don't have a gun; but my gum sure as heck does!!

Hello all

Happy birthday to all the weekend babies!

We've had a fab day. G had some lovely gifts and was very excited from waking this morning.

The weather has been soooo nice and sunny We had a barbecue this afternoon with my mam, bro and his dp, 2 friends from Leeds and their gorgeous ds (1.1). The food was good, the sun shone and the boys had great fun playing in the garden. When those guests left late this afternoon, we skyped the ILs so G could have a chat and see his cousin Eva and aunty and uncle who are up in Northumberland for the weekend.

Then our friends who live nearby popped in after a theatre outing to see Lazytown. Their 2 boys (4 and 6) had an egg hunt in the garden with G, then some birthday cake and a bit of a play. G has just gone to bed a happy but totally exhausted birthday boy

6 hours of NCT class yesterday passed faster than expected and dh coped really well with a lot of medical talk in the morning. He only left the room once when we talked about caesareans.

I woke this morning to find my bump much lower and a lot more pressure on my lower regions. My money is still on baby arriving in April

Hope you all had a lovely day too.

leakyR · 12/04/2009 20:25

BTW I've all but given up on the due May 2009 thread. They have a "secret FB group" and I'm not on enough to be included.

Will have to bore you lot with my pg/birth wafflings!

geordieminx · 12/04/2009 21:06

You are joking leaky???// Thats shocking.

Its kinda like wanna be moldies! PMSL

leakyR · 12/04/2009 21:16

It's true!

I was only half kidding last week when I said you guys were much nicer. I didn't join this thread until March 07 but never felt excluded or out of it like I do on there.

geordieminx · 12/04/2009 21:32

Have you said something to them?

Cow bags.

Sexonlegs · 12/04/2009 21:35

Evening all.

Happy belated birthday to the lovely April babies.

Leaky, can't believe what you just said about the May 09 group Stick with us lovely. Glad you had such a lovely day today xx

Dooby, great to see you. Hope lunch went well - you mad woman!

Hope everyone else has had a lovely day.

We have. It was/is dh's birthday, so a joint celebration. My mum and dad came over for the day which is always special. Yesterday we went on a day trip to the Isle of Wight whih was great fun. We went with a friend and his 2 dd's and went cycling.

B is off to her other grandparents tomorrow for 4 nights. Going to miss her, and I know B will do too

Anyway, need some chocolate, so se you tomorrow. xx

leakyR · 12/04/2009 21:38

GM - I won't say anything. It's not personal to me. I really haven't participated much in the threads and have no intention of doing so if they're all odd and cliquey before they've even given birth!

SOL glad you've had a good weekend too.

Must go to bed.
