Oh hurrah mm!
Wish I could have a proper pizza .

Right, must go and wake ds up as we are off to some friends for a bit.

jenwa · 18/07/2009 10:42

aubergenie yes 2, my right is worse then left. Has your friend had hers for long? I have tinnitus too
lol re S waving and clapping but not on demand, they are cheeky are'nt they

rachie and mm yeh MIL was fab and I did have sheds load more but had to put some back as would have felt far too guilty and not all essential!

P does not stand, still sits in her seat although she does love being held under her belly and attempting to swim

I am going to look were Godstone Farm is, would be fab to meet but feel it may be too far for the day!

jenwa · 18/07/2009 10:42

'Where' farm is!

jenwa · 18/07/2009 10:48

Ok not able to meet at either farm as too far away! Will await warwick castle then unless I am in London before then.

ok warwick castle is 2 hours drive away from me - I can do that but we'd have to do it within the next few weeks-ish. Anyone? is there parking there or is warwick a big busy place? How about not this monday but the next one? I can bring DH and you can all throw rocks at him

star6 · 18/07/2009 12:43

Sorry I meant next SUNDAY, not this one. Then more people will be free

star6 · 18/07/2009 12:43

And is there a dominoes nearby???

Let's do the august date, then! Cool!! Sunday, though - not Monday if that's ok??

star6 · 18/07/2009 12:56

when is the bank holiday? Can we do the sunday before that? isn't there a bank holiday in August? Or is that September? still getting used to the awesome holidays calendar here in the UK... LOVE all the holidays!

Ok, so who can do 23rd August at warwick castle? 11.30am ok? Need to know a bit about warwick, though. Is it off of a highway? And will probably need to head home by 6/7pm latest.

star6 · 18/07/2009 13:13

sorry.... MOTORway, not highway. I DID pass my driving test here, so I do know this lingo

CantSleepWontSleep · 18/07/2009 13:28

We're in for 23rd at Warwick.

CantSleepWontSleep · 18/07/2009 13:30

You have a real fetish for 11:30 starts don't you star?! Warwick Castle has its own car park.

OP posts:
jenwa · 18/07/2009 18:13

wink] I can do 23rd!

jenwa · 18/07/2009 18:14

I like 11:30 as think by the time I get out the house and there it would more likely to be later .

jenwa · 18/07/2009 18:15

oh, are partners going? I know you suggested rock throwing star my dh been nice actually so cant justify throwing at him

aubergenie · 18/07/2009 18:32

We'll still be in France, so won't make it to your meet up unfortunately.

CSWS - I made those lentil cheesy slice things today. They were lovely. I must have another look at that BLW site as I'm feeling like we're running out of meal ideas and always seem to have the same thing.

DP is making pizza tonight. Yum.

Marthasmama · 18/07/2009 18:47

I doubt I'll be well enough but I'll have to see........ I am feeling fine at the moment. I have tried to look at my wound as it still has a dressing on it. However I have managed to establish that it finishes about 1.5 inches above my belly button. I think in total it is about 7/8inches long. Good job my stomach looked terrible anyway otherwise that would have been a nightmare!

Pistachio - I'm not minding being a SAHM this time round but it nearly killed me when I was home with ds. I only have one to contend with though and don't know if I could handle two little pickles all day long. I spend money like it's water so that is the main reason I'll need to find a job at some point.

Aubergenie - I know what you mean about the too 'familiar' dinners! We're the same at the moment.

M seems not to like mummy any more. So much for me worrying that she would miss me. Instead, now every time that dh leaves here with me she cries for her daddy. I'm sure she'll be ok with me soon enough but she won't relax with me and doze off any more which could be interesting tonight.

Marthasmama · 18/07/2009 18:52

Sorry, I meant I probably wouldn't be able to make any Summer meet ups.

CSWS - Willows Farm is about 60 miles from us so we would be able to come there, but could we make it a little later in the year so I can actually come along?

Hi all, I was just about to do the banana cake but I've only just bought the bananas so I'm guessing I need to leave it a few days? Also, should it be stored in the fridge or will a biscuit tin do?

MM, how fickle is Martha? The cheek of it after you expressed all that milk for her! Brilliant to see you're home.

I'll try to come back later!
