STEAKY THAT IS EXCELLENT! No worries on home thingies. It's my belief that that kind of stuff is gradually gathered over time. I see good things in your future.

HP first OUCH! I could feel the pain. As for the beach, WOW but very packed in a few of those pictures. Where exactly in the world is this? [asks the geography challenged wild haired chick in her truck]

Oops that story was too funny. I'm surprised it's not my story. OH WAIT....no, that's not happened to me yet.

Miamla what's up with you and circles? Weren't you our crop circle hoo-hoo area girl?? LOL!!!

Sazzles you can try and hide that stuff BUT I WILL FIND YOU.

FYI: We survived DD1's first day of Kindergarten. Now if only she'd GO TO BED!! Both girls are up actually (it's 9:30pm). I'm ignoring the situation. Maybe DH will go handle it.

TS - Mallorca is an island off Spain.

YAY for you steaky and your well protected credit rating How is DD doing?

LoveBuckets · 14/08/2009 08:13

Oh Hotter and that's not an injury that's mistakeable for anything else is it?. I too have Miamla's furry ankle bracelets.

Steaky Hurrah for the house. Have a google of Freecycle, there's bound to be a group near you what with all the yuppy-hippy incomers in Devon. You'd be amazed at what you can get for nowt (eg. I just gave away an electric guitar.)

We are off to Devon this morning, need to go kick DH's arse out of bed. We are being brave and leaving the laptop at home DuhduhDUUUUUH.

So will see some of you on Wednesday, shall we say 11ish on the picnic green unless it's pissing down in which case whoever gets there first can set up a drier camp? If plans change, I know Sazzles has my mobile so don't forget me please!
See the rest of you next week, have a good weekend, hope it's bbq weather all over.

poppysocks · 14/08/2009 09:08

Happy belated birthday to Tom, Eibhlin and Lexie. My thoughts, if not internet access, were with you yesterday.

So glad Hollie came home dizzy. I must e-mail you about your cafe. DH has been drumming up business but need to check you'll be open in time....

How are you feeling now red?

So pleased it's all starting to fall into place steaky.

Yay for your hols hp. I've done exactly the same thing as you re: leg shaving more than once . I really don't learn .

about your period TS. Nothing to add, but thought it was worth a or two.

Hope you had a decent nigh last night sazzles and are feeling a bit more human now.

Recovering here after crawling in a 2.45am yesterday after the toddler gp Mums' night . Work yesterday was not particularly productive...

On top of the family woes, new job and just about finally clearing up chest infection, DH has now done his back in, poor chap.

CaptainCaveman · 14/08/2009 09:44

Belated Happy Birthday Tomas

Once again I'm flying by - off out with T & O to an outdoor play park

steaky great news on the house! yay.

Miamla · 14/08/2009 10:02

i want to go out but i can't because i've got the hv visiting us this morning. why do i hear you ask? because of the 'issues' i raised at the 1yr check! me and my bloody mouth, if i'd just kept quiet and answered the questions like a good girl, i'd be out in the park with DS right now
sigh
hey ho

oh and i keep forgetting to wish all the babies happy birthday. i've a feeling i've missed a few so sorry

TS yup, twas me with the crop circles although it was only a plan, i didn't actually get as far as shaving them

DP was chatting about baby number two this morning and that was even after an incredibly awful night with DS. He was awake every hour thought those kind of nights were in the past

buckets hope you have a great time in Devon

AnnVan · 14/08/2009 10:18

Morning everybody.
Finally caught up. For a change Seb is not fighting me for the keyboard so I can actually reply I did try yesterday, but had to give up in the end.

Awful Awful night last night. Wakeups at 1130,1230,330,530 up at 640.

dizzy so glad you got your dog back. Very abot some guy taking her out of your garden though. Isn't that theft or something?
can't remember who asked about plug points, but yes, Seb is fascinated by them, although his fascination is actually with one PARTICULAR plug point.
He is currently sitting next to me licking the salt grinder and talking lovingly to it

Don't think Ill be joining you ladies in Bristol I would so love to meet Steaky and her petite fillette. Just don't think I can afford it.

OP posts:
Miamla · 14/08/2009 15:42

i'm currently on hold to an idiot at first great western trying to book my ticket for next wednedsay... dear goodness... i'm sure its not me but i feel like i'm surrounded by idiots at the moment

oopsacoconut · 14/08/2009 16:20

FREE TO A GOOD HOME< one small girl, almost 1, free to a good home. Am willing to pay transportations costs!

So far since she woke from her nap she has......
pulled lumps of fur out the cat, unscrewed the bottom nuts on the stairgat and lifted it up, got at the cat food, put a red sock in the white towels on a 90deg wash (it was her she had the sock when I left the room!) pressed all the buttons on the dishwasher and confused the hell out of it, pulled the rubbish out of the bin and finally she has just poo's out the leg of her nappy! She is walking about like she is queen of the castle! I almost forgot she put the focus home movers ccard in the DVD player.

TwilightSurfer · 14/08/2009 17:31

Miamla the world is full of idiots except for us.

Oops are you sure that's not Poppy's alter ego? Reese's alter has shown herself a few times today as well.

and btw....

AF! AF! AF! AF!IS HERE!!!!!!!!
2 weeks late for some reason but HERE!!!

OP posts:
Miamla · 14/08/2009 18:22

congratulations on your visit from AF TS, that must be a little relief to you. Oh and by the way, don't google 'pregnant but still having periods'

oh dear oops, sounds like you've both had quite a day of it. But if it makes you feel better, I hear pink is the new white!

Miamla · 14/08/2009 19:05

oopsacoconut · 14/08/2009 19:09

oopsacoconut · 14/08/2009 19:10

TwilightSurfer · 14/08/2009 19:12

LOL!

OP posts:
TwilightSurfer · 14/08/2009 19:13

so does it confuse anyone ever to have several conversations going on at the same time in different "worlds" here on the internet. lol lol lol lol

OP posts:
Miamla · 14/08/2009 19:20

TS no never! my mum and i are masters at talking about 2 sometimes 3 things at the same time. noone else seems to manage to keep up and wonder how we know what we're talking about!

hotterpotter · 14/08/2009 20:20

Yes I want to see the dress too

Soooo very tired today, think I'll be falling asleep on the sofa after a glass of wine. Although just remebered I have to go round and feed my friend's cat. Arse. Oh well, it's only 5 minutes and maybe the fresh air will perk me up.

TS phew

Steaky welcome home

steaknife · 14/08/2009 22:53

Evenin' all.

You know I kept swearing about the Frenchy keyboards well now my fingers cant remember zhere everything should be on an English one so forgive the typos> Traitors.

TS yay for AF.

I saw the Dr yesterday and I explained my mood swings and he put me back on the pill. He explained you can get PMT without AF because your hormones are still going through your cycle just toned down a bit so no babies.
Much relieved that I am not bonkers. The practice are pretty good and don't like to overprescribe. Last time I went with glands like boiled eggs and they just told me it was my glands doing their job and so no drugs, this time the same for my pus ridden tonsils (sorry TMI) been like that since Izzy was born, Dr just says they are doing their job and that I have a lovely calm pulse and I am doing very well in difficult circumstances.

So, so good to talk to a Dr properly and not feel daft.

Been hunting around the second hand shops here and now have a table and chairs, playpen and a little bedroom chair that I will re-cover and some v groovy green lampshades. Just need the standard lamps for under them now.

I also have a ver ver ver long list of things I need. Getting ver ver excited as I type as I've only just allowed myself to think about it.

woohoo and do a little dance.

So sorry to be all me me me, actually I always seem to be that at the moment> I blame Sazzles, whenever I have a crisis it is when she is on holiday, so the solution for a calm life for me is no more jollydays for Sazzles.

Evil cackle.

Who has a pretty frock and when can we see it?

steaknife · 14/08/2009 22:54

just read my post back - how very random it is.

steaknife · 14/08/2009 23:08

HAd my first dose of ITNG today. Izzy was transfixed for about five mins and then crawled off to invstigate some shoes.

Its a bit phsycadelic isn't it? Ver ver odd.

steaknife · 14/08/2009 23:08

ooh look 550 posts.

steaknife · 14/08/2009 23:26

well seeing as you lot are all out having Friday night fun then I'm off to bed.
