Ignoring things for a min for a quick update...

Been at funeral. Aching and random twinges most of the day, now feeling decidedly uncomfortable... taken painkillers and going to get in bath. Thinking if it carries on after that, then I should probably think about blowing up a pool and things...

Make sure you keep us informed. Hope this is it. Good Luck.

Jas · 28/09/2009 18:10

I hope so too. Keep us informed.....

Jas · 28/09/2009 18:11

Also, good luck

Frizbe - I hope they get caught. My parents were broken into last week, and it is not nice

Frizbe · 28/09/2009 19:30

Thanks guys, fingers x'd they don't come back, as its still only boarded up for a few days till the builders can get to us.....have backed up everything off the pc today just in case they come and take it.... CSI Ripley finally got to us today too, they got a good glove and foot print, which might be enough evidence to help them on their way to catching the right person

Flame its Braxton Hicks, don't kid yourself its anything more not until your in complete agony anyway Hope the funeral was as ok as can be

Gran is ok, in pain, but ok and she's only asked where my grandad is once! (dead 25 years now)

CantSleepWontSleep · 28/09/2009 21:54

Ooh exciting flame. Good luck if it is the real deal.

Break in sucks Friz .

Flamesparrow · 28/09/2009 22:49

Flamesparrow · 29/09/2009 07:45

Yay for prints friz.

Down to odd random ones over night. V tired and pissed off with all the hurting yesterday for nothing.

{{{Hugs}}} Flame, you're finally getting Braxtons, you've not had em before eh? I got them a lot with dd2 and not at all with dd1

Thanks for your support over the last few days girls, you'll be pleased to hear things are finally looking up Gran is now mobile again, they've had her whizzing the ward on her zimmer for 2 hrs today she's been well away apparently they put her in bed to stop her bothering the nurses! seems more 'with it' too apparently, she might make warden aided at this rate.

Store is slowly getting back to normal too.

Jas, how's things your way?
Where are the rest of you, you're all being very quiet?

FlameWithTooManyHormones · 30/09/2009 07:37

I've had braxtons during this pregnancy - not with the others. These have been that bit more iyswim, and they didn't go away with the standard bath/pills advice, they just carried on the same regularness, hence me getting hopes up.

Yay for gran

Had a huge stupid fight with DH about santa and chimneys of all bloody things. Now he has gone to work in a strop and I can't stop crying

mustrunmore · 30/09/2009 08:18

What about santa and chimneys etc? Dont fret I very much doubt its a divorce case . Esp if you go into labour before you see him agin!!

Sorry, have read all therest, but got no glasses on so an=m reading nd typing bl9nd!

got an "impressive" from the boxing instructor last night . I was shattered though after 3 hours of classes! Boxing is hard work, so it made comabt feel like a breeze afterwards.

FlameWithTooManyHormones · 30/09/2009 16:25

Yay for impressive

He has been painting a picture to go in the fireplace (instead of the big gaping hole). Kids removed said picture for Santa to be able to get out the chimney. I heard him telling them that the chimney was blocked anyway so Santa couldn't get down it . He says he was telling them he got in by magic.

I have no idea. I was yelling at him by that time.

They are 6 & 3. They believe. They are some of the few children to have an actual fireplace. WTF does he need to tell them he doesn't come down a perfectly acceptable chimney?!?!?! B asked if we couldn't just take the pic out on xmas eve (which had been my plan).

I think he may have taken offence to being treated like a child and yelled at in front of them

Not heard from him all day

mustrunmore · 01/10/2009 13:58

Where is everyone?

ds1, the mot realist child I know, has never asked about the reality of father xmas, nor how he gets past the telly in our fireplace

FlameWithTooManyHormones · 01/10/2009 15:09

I think an episode of sponge bob or something may have been to blame for the questioning tbh - it seems a fairly random thing to think of at the end of September

Jas · 01/10/2009 16:21

We have a chimney on the roof, but the opening finishes in the loft. My girls did question it.....fc comes down the chimney and then through the loft hatch of course!
It was a bit closer to Christmas though.

Is dp talking to you now Flame?

I love that it is unusual enough for you to mention 3 hrs f classes being tiring, mrm. I would be dead after 3 hrs.

Good to hear your gran is improving Frizbe. I hope she is well enough to leave hospital soon.

DS is not well...croup, or something similar. He is much better today, but Tuesday night was awful.

DP has plastered two of my bedroom walls today I may even get it finished before Christmas!

CantSleepWontSleep · 01/10/2009 19:39

Evening ladies. Just checking in.
Ds took his first steps today. Just a couple, but it's a start.

Jas · 01/10/2009 20:37

No, he's a baby!

Frizbe · 01/10/2009 20:42

Awww CSWS toddling, fab

Jas, plaster yay!

Flame, Santa has a magic key here to get in the door, as we have no chimney, mind you Santa also taps into our alarm system and uses it for cctv purposes to spy on the kids and make sure they're being good (blame Peter Kay for that one)

MRM is Combat 41 good? I've not been this week due to life etc and now I can't even make tomorrows class either as we have KEYS!! for the new store to go and pick up lots of shouting at estate agents/solicitors has finally budged the prospective landlord to sign some paperwork!the full gubbins won't be sorted until monday, but we have them provisionally over the weekend to get the place cleaned up ready for stocking etc next week/week after, wooot!!!
Other news, gran is a bit mentally wobbly again poss another infection? they're checking it out.

mustrunmore · 02/10/2009 07:44

OMG csws, he cant have done?

Hurray for your walls Jas.

Friz, 41 is great yes, except there's one track where you either start on the second not the first beat, or you miss one out, and its a pita for me who cant time things properly!! And there's less muay tai knee jumops etfc. And the insane recovery track isreally insane; lots of poncing about running knee-ups etc iykwim! 42 is out soon you know? I have to say I'm favouring boxing now though
Only did 2 classes last night; function, and then LBT, which I'be not done for ages; I love the instrubctor, and itsa good no-brainer happy jump about class So I didnt stay for third class as I wanted to leave on such a buzz! Did do 15 min crosstrainer before to warm upo.so dont feel so guilty.

Going to the 99p shop today with friend with car.. hurray Ooo, and Poundland is coming right next doorr to the gym

FlameWithTooManyHormones · 02/10/2009 08:00

He is still newborn and cannot be walking.

Yay for Jas walls.

We have very carefully not mentioned Santa, and he hasn't commented on the picture rescued from the bin. Called me mid morning yesterday though (when he was finishing at 11.30 anyway) just randomly to see how I was, so clearly forgiven.

for more nutty Gran Friz.

Had backache all night, so not much in the way of sleep. Nothing in the way of baby either. A mum at school yesterday yelled "POP! POP! POP!" at my bump wtf is that all about??? It wasn't even just loud talking, it was full on shout.

CantSleepWontSleep · 02/10/2009 08:27

He'll be 1 next weekend you know!

Yay for walls Jas.

Hope it's just a blip for your gran Friz.

Frizbe · 02/10/2009 21:00

CSWS 1 are you having a huge party for him? or just a quite family bash?

Flame, at woman at school, she's feeling your pain for you! glad sorted out with dh, he's probably thinking 'my wife is a hormonal looney again '

Woot just seen a trailer for Zombie Land, so going to see that!

MRM they've only just previewed 41 up here so when I eventually get there, it'll be to that, although it won't be next week either, as I have to do work stuff all week and prob the week after too, till we get the store open....

Woot we got keys today, and then we found out that we couldn't find the meters for anything.....after a ring around later on water is in the yard somewhere and we have two electric ones, both hidden in the solicitors will be going looking for them on monday! good news is an alarm system is built in, bad news is we have to pay to get it turned on and monitored....eh well, guess you have to expect these things eh! we aim to be open in two weeks, watch this space!

EachPeachPearMum · 02/10/2009 21:28

How can it be a year already csws? Yay! for walking though
Was actually (well, jaw on chest really) at your fb thingy the other day... what nastiness Good news re dh though!

Frizbe- sorry to hear about break in- that is just rubbish- but hope all preparations go well for new store [excited]

Flame- due date is...? 5th? ooooohhh

mrm- love the typing blind

Hi Jas- great cake as usual! Hope bedroom is finished soon

Hi Phoenix- hope your gorgeous dss are fine!

DS did his first proto-crawl today... about 2 inches- all downhill from here!

CantSleepWontSleep · 02/10/2009 22:51

I think that saying he is walking is taking it a bit far. It was just 2 steps! But soon I'm sure.
And your ds crawling too EPPM. D must just be trying to stay one step ahead of him!

No family bash Friz, as no family around (dh's parents away and still no contact with mine). But some of my post-natal thread from here are coming to celebrate with us, which will be lovely.

Took me a moment to twig that you were on about your second shop Friz - great news.
