That's gone so quick (although probably not for you)

thell · 23/09/2009 15:23

Woohoo!
That's Full Term tomorrow then?
Hurrah! Good excuse to crack out some celebratory chocs or similar /

Flamesparrow · 23/09/2009 22:05

Ooh my midwife mate on facebook says it is more likely 2/5 palpable, so even more in than I thought

Flame for the MW and bubba being nearly ready to pop! but for the news about your 'Auntie', sorry didn't see if you tweeted 'owt yesterday as didn't have time to check the feeds....

Jas, phew for coffin turning up, hope everything went as well as could be today {{{Hugs}}}

EPPM scared of the wind chime and that's quite funny, weird what they don't take to eh!

MRM tooth? when you getting that done then?
which one is it?

CSWS for you all having a good sleepover! particularly dd

Phoenix how's things? are you back yet?

Gran is still in hospital they're still investigating....they have said its not the cancer though....?? Still waiting to sign for the new store too, gah! hoping solicitor has something for us by Friday....better do, we've recruited staff to start training 2nd week in October, we need this place up and running yesterday!

Flamesparrow · 23/09/2009 22:18

I think today is funeral, friday is party for dd1 (I think that's the right dd...)

Phoenix · 23/09/2009 22:37

Hi Friz, yes i'm back

We've finally got our webcam up and running and dh is talking to his brother in America on Skype. He's lived there about 4yrs and it's really weird hearing him with a yorkshire accent mixed with an American one

Jas · 24/09/2009 08:03

Morning
Funeral was yesterday, and went well. It was fairly unconventional - his daughter spoke, we had a few tales of Goa from his mate, then we had some interesting music, all signed the coffin, and went to the pub.

All the stuff I had arranged went fine, dp said he looked happy when he collected him.

I was soo relieved, I was shattered, and was asleep by 9.30last night!

Party tomorrow (for dd2)so still busy, but much less stressed now.

Back later.

Flamesparrow · 24/09/2009 08:13

Signing a coffin? I like that!

That was my first thought too Flame! Glad its all done with Jas; kids party wont be that bad in comparison.

ds1 already trying to plan his birthday on November . Same old problem; cant fit very many in the house, cant afford a soft play type party (its bloody £17.95 per head now ). Dont want to risk the weather for outdoors like we did last year, as it was good, but a bit chaotic in the dark, and the grown ups got really cold not running about! He says he might like pizza hut, which is 4.99 a head, but then I guess we still have to give the adults something if they stay, and in any case he's finding it hard to stick to 10 people, which is our limit; you know how if you invite some you have to invite others, -lus friends frmo outside school blah blah. If he has 10 plus himself and ds2, thats £60 plus grown up drinks, which is our budget limit. But will he want to play too? My friend thinks so, altho if he himslef has said he'd like pizza hut, then it should be ok. He's not stupid, he knows what he wants. Sorry... rambling

Frizbe · 24/09/2009 20:32

Parties are tricky MRM, I've hired the local community hall with another mum this year £26 between us, and a disco £80.00 between us, we're catering ourselves (hotdogs) n prob crisps n grapes! (shhh the frootshoot brigade will kill me) but we can squeeze loads of kids in, huzzah!

Jas, like the signing of the coffin bit, just told dh he can do that to mine, he said he'll have me stuffed instead Glad it went ok, good luck with the party tomorrow.

Flame, found the pokemon thread! am I outed now

Phoenix, skype is weird for that eh! I must try and catch my mates in NZ this weekend, as have sent birthday card, but its going to be approx 3 weeks late! ahem....

Bad news on gran front today...she was sedated last night, got up to go to loo this am and fell over.....told drs it was ok, its not, she's been in agony all day and now they won't see her, my auntie and dad are at the hosptial now arguing her case fecking hospitals......so far they're not getting anywhere, they keep ringing me, to ring my Dr friend, to find out who to ask for help next in the hierachy....

Frizbe · 24/09/2009 22:09

news is gran has a fractured hip, whilst on an nhs ward....sigh.....

CantSleepWontSleep · 24/09/2009 22:40

Bravo the NHS .

Glad the funeral went well.

Happy birthday to dd2 for tomorrow .

Swimming party mrm?
Or you could borrow our marquee and have it at home!

mustrunmore · 25/09/2009 08:36

Happy birthday dd2

did think about swimming party, think iirc right its £120 for an hour or something tho, and then they dont get fed or have anywhwere to do the cake etc.
Thak you for the marquee offer; I think you might underestimate the damage a dozen boys could do to it tho!
Its a shame his bday isnt just a bit earlier in the year, cos then we could just save all our get-in-frees and take half a dozen friends to chessington!

Frizbe · 25/09/2009 22:34

Why am I picturing MRM's whole house in CSWS's marquee?

Flamesparrow · 26/09/2009 09:36

Lol me too

I am oddly excited to be tip of the day

Jas- hope DD2's birthday was lovely.

Frizbe- to hear about gran... thats so crappy for her.

Flame- yay! for TOTD Any twinges yet?

Jas · 27/09/2009 19:54

Hello

Thanks, dd enjoyed her birthday. (cake pic on profile) Parties at home are getting too loud and stressful. I will have t think of something different to do soon.

Sorry to hear about your gran Frizbe. How is she now?

TOTD is still there. They love you Flame

WE had a nice lunch with dps sister today. Not seen her for 10 years before the funeral but she is planning t move back to uk now her children are both here, so we may see a bit more of her soon.

Frizbe · 27/09/2009 20:49

Jas that cake looks marvellous you are so talented!
Glad you had lovely lunch with dp's sister that's great.

Gran has had her hip operation today, thankfully as she was in a lot of pain, she's come out of it ok and is awake again, but that's all they can say for now. I saw her yesterday and she recognised me, so she's not gone totally potty yet she could remember all my kids names, including ss and dh too, so as far as I go, not so looney!

More bad news here though, the store got robbed last night, we think they've just taken cash, as far as we can see..... the store is ok, its the office they mainly went for, looks like the locks held on the door to the store, though it was tried, they kicked the fire exit in....our landlord is going to re-enforce the whole area and put in steel doors....hopefully they may be on cctv from the drug re hab unit that is beind us.....bit of a mess though and we're still waiting for forensics......gah.

Phoenix · 27/09/2009 21:33

Friz, that is really crap. Hope they find who did it

Fab cake as usual Jas
