MJ/SPB/NL I haven't been able to do anything re the job yet so no CAT'ing, been manic here with ds' bday on monday and all the tidying that was needed before hand I have a feeling I may have missed the deadline oh well, i'll keep looking for another position, not desperate to change yet, I still have hours to make up where I am

Right, off to bed, I will be back for a proper catch-up soon, hope everyone is well leaky fingers crossed baby holds on for a little while longer(unless you'd like it out sooner!) of anyone that has their baby a week or so early or on time

PillockWithRedHair · 16/04/2009 13:28

We love you Leaky, stay here
Am hoping that no news is good news and you've held on long enough to have the hb x

Back to work today so can start catching up with you lot more often!

Thank you for the birthday wishes, Joe had a fab day. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all those I've missed

Welcome to England Dooby Now when are you visting Suffolk

Joe's pressie was fab Dippy - thank you (have set an alarm to remind me to look for plimsolls when I get home )

Change the hair colour but the blodeness remains ......

MJreturns · 16/04/2009 15:12

Hi all

Pillock, good to see you again. Has J gone into pre school yet? If he has then I hope he is settling in well

Leaky, hope you are ok xx

Geordie, watching all the Hillsborough footage yesterday really gave me goosebumps. I can't believe that 20 years has passed since that day, I can remember watching it on the TV as if it was much more recent. Hope you are ok xx

Happy Birthday to all those with birthdays today

I am having a really lovely day with ds. F is in nursery as she would always be on a Thursday, but I am not in work as I have this week off. Ds went to golf this morning with my dad but was home by 10am so that my dad could get to work.
Ds and I then went off to the cinema to watch Monsters vs Aliens which was not too bad for a kids film, then we scoffed McDonalds for a late lunch! Not somewhere we would normally visit, but it is right outside the cinema and the Happy Meals had MvA toys in them which ds was very impressed about!!
We are home now so he is playing on the Wii and I am having some quiet MN time. It is amazing how quiet the house is when F isn't here!

MJreturns · 16/04/2009 15:14

OMG, I have just realised that quite some time ago I said I might organise a meet up in the Easter Holidays. Bit late now eh?!
Sorry, totally forgot

runnyhabbit · 16/04/2009 21:02

Ooooh MJ - My mum took J and my little cousin to see that film this morning too - and they had McD afterwards. She loves it now they are old enough to go the pictures (cousin is 4) Her excuse so she can watch the film lol

oooggs - just for you

pillock - good to see you chick hun sweetie um, not sure what we're allowed to say...how about old chap?

Boys have driven me bonkers tonight - crying and screaming for no apparent reason Thank God dh bought some wine home.

Hope leaky's ok....I was hoping for an online labour...although it might make me feel v broody

oooggs · 16/04/2009 21:15

love it runny borrowed a massive ride on Thomas with track which was fab - dts were terrified James mummy was too big but Luke had a go

Caz - all well touch wood infact I am super excited carpets arrived today, new boys rooms being done on saturday, new hall stairs & landing being done next saturday and I am just ordering furniture

yes mj [smacked wrist] no meetup - I had forgotten too

hi pillock - you can take to blonde out of your hair but not the blondness out of the girl (and you know what colour mine is)

thinking of you leaky

leakyR · 16/04/2009 21:16

Hello ladies

I haven't had a baby yet! LOL I hadn't had real contractions just BH and felt a bit uncomfortable. Had a few KNUF moments today. Oooooh!
I have got an ear and throat infection and a baby who is 3/5 engaged (that means 3/5 of it still above pelvis yes?)

Officially panicky that we haven't got much ready yet. Have written a big list with dh tonight. From tomorrow we really need to get our arses into gear organised. A lovely community mw came round today to do my hb risk assessment and drop off the teeny weeny hb kit. She was very positive and encouraging - hope she's on call when it happens. I'm officially booked in and it hb can happen anytime from now until the 19 May. I will however be at my wits end if this baby doesn't arrive in the next 3 weeks.

Happy birthday to those who I've missed in the last 2 days.

Apologies for lack of personals.
Must go to bed now. Been awake since just after 2am.

Evening ladies.

Happy Birthday to all those I have missed - again!

Leaky, ooh I remember those knuf moments; they take your breath away don't they?

MJ, lovely that you had a good day with ds

Lovely to see you Pillcock.

Oooggs, I really do not know how you fit your life in to your life iyswim!! Glad everything is coming together.

Runny, good to see you too.

Hope everyone is ok. I have felt pants all week which is rather annoying. B back tomorrow, and it seems that she has been on top form. Really hope she stays like it for me and dh! Has been lovely havng time with K; she hasn't missed B though at all, and when I said are you looking forward to seeing B tomorrow, she said no!!

Anyway, really need to get to bed. See you lovelies tomorrow. xx

runnyhabbit · 16/04/2009 22:35

as for meet ups, what about the Whitsun hols?

Leaky - I didn't even have a hb pack - mw just gave us a list of things to get, lol. I have to say, W/my hb was fantastic. Really helped with bf. And the added bonus for me was that J slept all the way through it W was born at 6am, J woke at 7am &, got introduced to his brother, and then asked for breakfast

Have had one glass of wine, and really fancy another, which means I'll be asleep in about 15mins

night all xx

Hi everyone,
off to Lakes in a sec, back tomorrow night!

OP posts:
CaptainDippy · 17/04/2009 18:56

I don't expect she has SOL - she has probaby thoroughly enjoyed having mummy snd daddy to herself for a change!! She'll be completely beside herself with joy when B walks through the door though, I shouldn't wonder!!

Hey Pillock! Don't forget the plimsols!!

Have to rush as off out to theatre very soon - eeeek! Ooooh, very cultured, me!!

Happy Birthday for yesterday Ernie, Johnathon and Robyn! Hope fun days were had by all! Happy Birthday to Ethan and Ethan today!

Buzzzzzzzzz........

Hi all.

I posted and the bloody thing crashed!

Lovely news for PHD

Dippy, hope you are having a good time at the theatre.

SPB, hope you are having a lovely trip away.

Leaky, you dropped yet

How's you Oooggs?

All ok here. B is back! K is not a happy bunny!!!! B rushed straight past me to K, and the look on K's face was a picture! They seem ok now.

Feeling pants still, but my day has been made by the fact that Mum has booked the 2 of us on a cruise next April! I am so happy I cannot tell you. I am so lucky to have Mum still.

Eddas · 17/04/2009 23:21

well, I just applied for a job not quite the job I was looking at the other day, well totally different actually

Anyway enough about me! Congratulations to PHD

SOL I think it's wonderful that you and your mum are off on a cruise

SPB at your lakes trip, we're off away for the weekend next week, all the way to Hastings I don't want to go too far from home

And most importantly happy birthdays to everyone i've missed
