New thread - sorry about the title, just start another one if you can't bear it - i won't mind

Hi AM, lovely to hear from you after so long, congratulations on the new job.

On a more cheerful note, since we last saw you, we've had a few new babies and there are more on the way.

Hi AuntieMeemz, lovely to see you
Glad to hear you are doing ok and congrats on the job x

I am feeling much better today. Went to bed at 7pm last night and didn't surface until just after 7am this morning so I have slept a full twelve hours!

My dad is having the dc's for a couple of hours this morning for me to go to the Blood Transfusion place. I gave blood a while back and signed up to be a platelet donor, so now I am off to get a sample taken to see if I am able to do it.

See you all later ladies. Come on oooggs, I am waiting for your Devon ideas!

Hi Auntie and everyone else!
Well SB I came on to boast about my night! T slept solidly from 8-7 and I slept solidly from 10-6.30 feel all full of beans this morning

Yey for good sleep

Hello AuntieM - great stuff about job, what is it?

All ok here, just catching up on work bits and DH has 3pm finish today

Afternoon all

Hiya auntie meemz

Caz - so sorry to here your news

Well, on the sleep front, I managed 10.15pm til 7.40am Mainly because the boys were at mums, and I rediscoverd my love of Budweiser I love that drink spent many a Sunday night drinking Bud in a pub called The Roof, (SB, did I ever see you there?). Was great - no under age drinkers, because they wouldn't be able to get up for school the next day Music was fab...eye candy even better...ahhhh I'm really enjoying this trip down memory lane

Ahem, now back to reality Very productive day - got the boys school/winter shoes - and no queueing was involved Got J uniform a few weeks ago, so we're all set. Can't believe they go back in 2 weeks - where on earth has the time gone?

Getting more and more bits for camping - we have been invited to several "end of summer" camping trips. Think it's just an excuse for a piss up As long as I've got my Bud, I'll be happy

Sorry, I rambled a bit there, didn't I

And there were alot of

The power of sleep, and the feeling of Getting Things Done is wonderful

Power of aleep Runny?! Nothing to do with the BUD at all then ....

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about....

of course not, silly me

Just running in quickly to say "au revoir" as we set sail for France tonight!

Am running so late as overslept; well woke at 5.30 thinking of extra things to pack, and then fell in to a deep sleep unti 7.30. Finally hauled myself out of bed at 8! Now shoveling breakfast, and need to get K to nursery and the cats to the cattery, oh and get ourselves dressed. HELP!!!!!

Hope everyone is ok, lots of love to all, and see you next weekend

POTC, that's lovely and it would make me wail

Eek at the benefits delay dooby

SOL, enjoy your holiday

Where were your girls while you were sleeping SOL!!?

Glad you are doing good RH

Planning on talking to you about your email when you come to visit next Wed POTC (just in case you thought I was ignoring it )

Hoping rain clears up today - wanting to go out for picnic and spent pm at Mini Railway ...

Dippy, B got up at 7.30 and went downstairs to watch TV and K didn't wake up until 8 - quite a regular occurence

Girls now despatched and have nearly packed cases. Had planned to clean the kitchen floor as it is yuk, and I hate coming back to a mess (me, anal????)

Better go!!!

enjoy it SOL if I'm not too late
POTC what a lovely letter

Oh bloomin eck, I've got a talk from Dippy coming

Have you seen the forecast for next week? dreadful. Well, here anyway, that microclimate you live in had better be working!

Oh yes, POTC - the "Sunshine Coast" will work for us

Morning ladies. Feeling a little rough here today, was sick in the night so feeling a little sorry for myself! On the plus side I am now off work for two weeks which will be fab. May get an agency shift early next week for the cash, but other than that I am on my holidays!!

SOL, I know you will probably be in France already, but have a fab time!

POTC, so cute of M to write you a letter. Would have had me in a blubbering mess too! A talk from Dippy eh? Should you be scared?!!

Oh Runny, you took me down memory lane too. Yes, I remember The Roof very very well, I actually met dh in there through a mutual friend!

Right, off now, see you ladies later xx

MJ - when are you down?
Living Coasts in Torquay, Paignton Zoo, Nice pub just outside of Torquay (Hungry Horse chain) fab for kids, The Willows shopping has a massive M&S, Next, Mothercare & Sainsbury if you are really bored. Trago Mills at Newton Abbot is a big shopping selling everything really cheap also has outside playarea, soft play, steam train, animals and bits like that.

We don't venture up that way too much.

Plymouth has the new Shopping Centre (Drake Circus) which is indoors but not as good as Cribbs. Of and of course a Jump!!!

12 years ago today dh and I moved into our first house and so much has happened since

Oooh oooggs, that's an exciting anniversary. 12 years ago today I'd probably just moved house again but I was living in rooms in shared properties or in other people's homes. My landlady in this one had callbarred outgoing calls, and she kept saying she was going to undo it but not doing so. I had to go over the road to the phone box to make calls.

6 months later dp and I got together and at the end of that year we moved in here.

I was going to say I feel nostalgic but actually I don't feel much nostalgia about all those years of never feeling like I had a proper home.

It's our 7th Wedding Anniversary on Monday - good grief!!

Enjoy your hols SB

Thanks oooggs We are coming down on Friday afternoon and staying for three nights, so heading home on bank holiday Monday sometime. Planning to do something that last day though so probably won't head home until later on.

we are going on holiday tomorrow!!! I am franticly (sp?) trying to pack (taking the caravan) whilst dh is at work!!!!
