was march last time as it was around my birthday.

no idea when easter is. I have a wedding on 17th (or 19th?) March, but other than that, no plans.

Easter is 4th April

CantSleepWontSleep · 21/02/2010 22:49

Checked calendar - it was 14th March last year .

At the moment, assuming that people prefer a weekend, I could potentially do 27th March, 3rd April (though am guessing that as that's Easter Sat some of you will have other plans), or 24th April, or pretty much any Sat after that.

Lost you all off my list again

I have nothing planned at all for Easter so in theory could do anytime to suit everyone else. I could just pick up the shoes then, too csws!

DP is currently car hunting, but not as enthusiastically as I'd like. I will need to be away weekends but not sure when yet - my mum is not well and won't be fit to travel here for a while.

Scooby cake is great, but not at that price! DS is getting spiderman - I showed him three options and he chose the one which is easiest to make so I'm happy.

Party on Friday assuming he doesn't get chicken pox before then.

Sorry I didn't make it in the hols mrm - Almost all my plans ended up scrapped due to illness and rubbish weather.

mustrunmore · 22/02/2010 13:55

Cake took 1.5days to arrive ...waited it all Fri. Found an email that morning with tracking number etc, saying address next door. Called cake people; he said he's noticed and had changed it on the box. I lolked out window as much as poss, but didnt see van. Courier hadnt changed it on his schedule sheet thing, sio it stil lwrent next door, exccept no one in , so they put a card thorugh. Which I couldnt get cos no one in! So cake people promised it would arrive before 12 on SAt; it came at 1.55pm. Glad it cam, but argh two days waiting in. totally cake peoples fault cos they changed it on one addrwss on the box, but not the second label, and didnt tell the couriers so they could change their drivers instructions . Lovely cakr though! Party was manic , and ds2 so overwhelmed with the ecitement that he bursrt into tears! Took 2 hours to open the presents from his friends, omg. He now has more buses for his collection; so happy! He got a park&ride, a number 98, and a yellow bendy bus, oh and a 50s style bus. I think he's got about 12 in his 'collection' now And he;s learnt so many london numbers and destinations; he writes them all in a notebook

Dont worry Jas, it was a shame not to see you, but we were feeling very lehargic that day anyway! Next time! Maybe we can get in free to gunpowder mills in summer, if you can still do that?! The boys loved that.

Dates, I can do March 6/7, March 13/14, April 3/4, April 17/18, May 1/2, May 8/9.

CantSleepWontSleep · 22/02/2010 14:30

Are you expecting him to get CP Jas?

That's pretty rubbish re cake delivery. You should make 'em do you another free one as compensation, espec as they know that you frequent MN so can rubbish them online!

I assume that you're happy to host on the 3 weekends you've mentioned that I've said I can't do then mrm?

Frizbe · 22/02/2010 22:14

I'm no good for most of April it turns out dh appears to have booked extra work in....I currently appear to have free 8/9 May and the weeekend after (15/16 I think) is that any good to anyone? I could possibly do one of the weekends in April if I bring the girls 10/11th (though think that's on CSWS's no list!)

MRM WOW that sounds like a heck of a lot of presents! hope ds is having lots of fun with them

Jas to hear your mums not so well, hope its nothing serious {{{Hugs}}}

Hectic day here, returned some shoes that didn't fit dh (I brought them a few weeks ago, but funny on one foot...) and got him some new ones and a refund as they didn't cost so much Have run around to a friends tonight to drop her 40th prezzie off and say Hi, as haven't had chance to see her in ages (I'm always working or with a pile of kids in tow, as is she!) so managed a whole hour of nattering with just dd2 in tow

CantSleepWontSleep · 22/02/2010 22:19

I can do either of those May weekends Friz. mrm has already said that she can do the first, and I'm guessing that she prob just didn't look any futher ahead than that. Do you know yet what shifts you will have Phoenix, as to when would be better for you?

Where's EPPM gone again? Are you free young lady?!

mustrunmore · 23/02/2010 08:50

In May I can potentially do any except 22/23!
Lol csws, would be happy to host if you can suggeest where we put everyone Dh would have to sleep wih kids, so someone could share with me, then someoner elsr would have to sleep on floor on an iarbed in our room, and eerynoe else on the sofabed! So its possible, but defteats th point if u cant come!!

Flame · 23/02/2010 10:42

15/16 would be best for me - tis our anniversary on 8th (the one we celebrate, not our wedding....), and I am hoping to scrape together some money for a surprise trip away. I think we need it tbh. Oh and 23rd is B's birthday - she may be miffed if mummy ain't there

Flame · 23/02/2010 10:43

Oh do we want Strawberry with us or not? I have plenty of time to express oodles to leave her at home, but don't know if people want a baby to cuddle or not (which would mean I can express for the weekend away instead).

Phoenix · 23/02/2010 14:15

I don't know what my day's off are yet but if i am working i will finish around 1pm so can come down after work. I've got no other plans that i know of so i should be ok for any. At this moment in time Noah sleeps with me but i'm trying to get him to like his cot so hopefully i'll be able to leave him at home.

mustrunmore · 23/02/2010 19:57

I dont mind having a go with the baby!

Flame · 23/02/2010 20:08

lol you'd end up sleeping with her as well remember

mustrunmore · 24/02/2010 08:34

Dont mind

Flame · 24/02/2010 09:21

Frizbe · 24/02/2010 19:49

Is it 15/16 May then? can anyone get in touch with Jas and let her know/see if she's free?

Jas · 25/02/2010 10:40

I'm here Frizbe. And I'm free as far as I can tell. (DPs work is very unpredictable and he is occasionally working weekends/nights, but doesn't usually know until a day or so before hand)

mustrunmore · 25/02/2010 17:38

15/16 cool with me, also subject o to dh getting o/t or me getting another market research job!

Flame · 25/02/2010 19:40

yup tis good for me

Frizbe · 26/02/2010 23:22

mmmmmm Johnny Depp

mustrunmore · 27/02/2010 12:07

Er???

Flame · 27/02/2010 17:30

I often think that.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm johnny depp

EachPeachPearMum · 27/02/2010 21:41

Am here (just about)... especially for people who call me "young lady" am feeling particularly decrepit today... was dd's party. am zonked.

Can it really be a year since we all met-up? DS was so very small wasn't he?

15/16 is fine for me (if you'll still have me.. I've been a bit part-time recently )

Am I allowed to just say 'Mmmmmmmmmm' without the JD bit?

Frizbe · 27/02/2010 22:54

well you can EPPM but really you should qualify it with a person on the end

Have popped that date into my diary which means its hopefully all real and proper n all that jazz )scuze me been on the pop )

Hello Jas, sorry wasn't being ignorant much...was just having a JD on the TV moment
