so much to catch up on!

Glad the parties went well obs and ceebee
to coolkats night away too

My work night out is Saturday and i have no iidea what to wear, I have ordered a playsuit from asos but feel i may be a little too old for such a thing now! Will let you know once ive tried it on!

Thats lovely news for your friend ladyb ellie DS loved his ball pit at first but now he only goes over to it once or twice in the day so i guess he is still playing with it.

On the subject of christmas pressies he has got a tiger wheelybug,a handy manny toolbox, some wooden jigsaws, a wooden xylophone and a few other little bits.

sulidonne on the subject of swine flu jabs, i have had mine (am a nurse) but no letter for DS yet. I am planning to give him it though but he has a suspected egg allergy so he will get the different one to me.

Thanks for that food list daisy i think i need to up the iron rich foods for DS.

Tesco are doing photo calenders BOGOF just now so just ordered a load to go in with xmas pressies.

Off to make lunch
Hi to everyone

PinkyMinxyPie · 07/12/2009 17:38

HI all
Christmas shopping stepping up apace on here!

I'm pretty much done. DH wants another book but that's it.

Took DS back to GP to get his cough checked and I've come home with the antibiotics not him! LOL I do sound a bit wheezy to be fair.

All this party talk sounds good, but I'm not going to any parties either, Hana- except Daisy's, of course!

Sorry to hear your DH is away for xmas, ellie.

Mimi cruising in a fairly jellyleg kind of way bless.xx

chocolategal · 07/12/2009 18:34

Love the name pinky
when I first read your post I thought you meant you had taken the ab's home but left DS at Drs!

Is everybody else's thread red??

misdee · 07/12/2009 18:43

secret santa question please.

when was all our stuff meant to be sent? i have sent mine, but not recieved yet, i cant find the original thread

coolkat · 07/12/2009 18:49

LOL Pinky, I read that the same as Choc! Thought you'd left DS behind

Christmas shopping going well here. Just DH who is a pain in the ass to get and a few bottles of wine etc.

I am looking forward to christmas this year.

Choc my thread is not read.

I am really tired tonight!

Sorry Misdee I did not do SS as I am not organised enough!

Obs a lady was trying a jumpsuit on in Next last week and she looked stunning, go for it girl!

chocolategal · 07/12/2009 19:03

misdee think the date for the ss was the 11th

ellielou02 · 07/12/2009 19:05

Can I ask a secret santa question too, did you all get an email to say who you had?

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 07/12/2009 19:06

I thought we were aiming to post around the end of this week? Mine needs wrapping, when I uncover it from where I stashed it for safety

Get Well Soon Pinky.

I just realised that it's marching on for the middle of December and I have yet to start writing my cards. It's such a chore as I always do a wee paragraph of catch up for the folks I don't see. Would it be too cheesy to do one of those American style round robin letters with pics added?

misdee · 07/12/2009 19:08

oh good, i thought mine was late being sent. looks like its not

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 07/12/2009 19:25

lol misdee, lets hope you haven't outed yourself!!

how's DH doing?

misdee · 07/12/2009 19:27

i dont mind outting myself if it means that for once i'm organised lol.

dh is fine, driving me bonkers but in a good way. he is working loads in the run up to xmas so he isnt winding me up too much lol.

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 07/12/2009 19:38

o.r.g.a.n.i.s.e.d Nope, sorry, you've lost me

PinkyMinxyPie · 07/12/2009 20:12

Lol I can see what you mean!

I'm glad you asked the SS question, Misdee, becuase I've started to worry about that, too. Are we meant to know the real name of the person we are sending to? The email I have does not give it, but I know it, what do I do?

I have a fireplace surround to paint tonight. JOY.

Ceebee74 · 07/12/2009 20:44

Haven't sent my SS yet either and I am not sure it will be ready by the end of this week either (hope I am not outing myself either!) Pinky my e-mail also didn't have the real name on but I know it so I am going to address it to the real name as I don't want to 'out' anyone on here iyswim.

Buzz so so pleased for your friend - what lovely news to end the year on

Chocgal if you have the figure for a playsuit, go for it! I think they look great!

I think I have got most presents now - just need to start wrapping some up each evening rather than leave it to the last minute as I usually do

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 07/12/2009 21:31

I was going to put the real name on as well; I think we all know who everyone is these days don't we? And it saved on embarrasing moments with the postie knocking and asking are you Lackadaisycal?

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 07/12/2009 21:33

Buzz, meant to say earlier what good news for your friend

PinkyMinxyPie · 07/12/2009 22:57

yes I think we all know who is who don't we!

LB that is lovely news for your friend.

choc.playsuits......that takes me back, to when I was a size 8...loong time ago! I bet you will look fab.
have painted fire surround. am praying it will not need another coat.

Rosa · 08/12/2009 12:45

HI , Minirosa teething and its been a nightmare so up to eyes in it all and no sleep. SS I haven't had an e mail to send anything to anybody ... I have the present here so will try to find Mr Yorkys address. I hope the post gets it there in time.....
I will catch up when I geta mo ..Hope that you are all doing ok and no Nov08 babies have eaten and Xmas Decs !

LadyBuzz · 08/12/2009 15:37

ooooh I'm so excited I have my SS stork present
Which means either Misdee had me or someone else is also vv organised.
I adressed mine to the RL name aswell, Mine was addressed to mine!
Does that even make sense - Probably not - I'm incredibly festive and excited today even though I have a very poorly baby here.

Took J back to the docs yesterday who said his chest is only a little bit crackly and the noise is all from his throat. He also has conjuctivitis (eye drops are a nightmare) and is full of snot, cue no sleep for the past 3 nights, but I did manage to get reduced hours from work to look after him.

choc I say go for it if you can - I wish I could!

Oh dear grumpy baby awake again.

misdee · 08/12/2009 17:34

what was it ladybuzz?

LadyBuzz · 08/12/2009 17:41

I don't know missdee I haven't opened it yet. Its wrapped in Gold paper with Red leaves on and has a very cute cat label if that helps??

Rosa · 08/12/2009 19:07

I think Santa forgot about me ...well to send my present to and its sitting here all wrapped and ready to go .......

PinkyMinxyPie · 08/12/2009 21:24

We've had an unusual day today. The nearby old hospital which is in the process of being converted into rather nice apartments suffered two lagre gas explosions today- our house shook, we thought it was either an earthquake or a bomb- both of which we have unfortunatley experienced her in manchester. But no, it was a gas main. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt but DS's school has been closed and is closed tomorrow by all accounts. Very dramatic!

TheTwelveDAISYofChristmas · 08/12/2009 21:37

OMG Pink; sounds scary I bet DS is happy to have a couple of days off school though

When I went for my 12 week scan with bumble, I thought I could smell gas when we got out of the car. DH laughed at me as I pick up on the smell of gas really easily when pregnant and had been "smelling" it for ages. But, I was right on that occasion as there was an empty pub at the edge of the car park, about five spaces from where we parked, and there was a gas explosion the next morning! Thankfully very early so no-one was hurt, as during the day it's a busy place. I have vowed to trust my nose next time and call the emergency gas line.

busy busy busy here, and managed to get some housework done...took me three times as long as normal as I had to chase both DD and bumble out of mischief every two minutes!

He is off and almost running in the course of a few days. I'll have less free time than usual now!
