August 2008 - I wish it could be Christmas every day, with the TV rows and the ILs you'd like to slay-ay-ay.

Hmm might be a bit early for a festive thread title but thought we could get in the mood.

None of that tasteful two colour decoration scheme in my tent - oh no. The gawdier the better.

God I knew there was a reason DD never did ballet. TBH it would have been just too stressful with no car at the time and particularly unruly toddler in tow. Has taken me this long to manage Rainbows.

Actually my newsletter label lady has said she won't be ready til the wknd so no envelope stuffing required. I do have goodie bags to make up, mind...

DD's new best friend has an American dad so they were having Turkey tonight. I have been thinking about it all day[green].

I have a webcam on my new laptop, so can I book a chat slot on Saturday....

BTW QoD does that mean that if you get a part time job he will do fewer unpaid hours? Get it in writing!

sorry albs, x post with you earlier! I'm so envious of your afternoon

bouquet probably for the best if we're not let lose on your envelopes!

red course you can! are we skype friends already? if not, fb me your login name and i'll add you

atually, snot and lwfh are we skype friends? if not, do the same as red and we'll make sure we chat with you both!

oh Sazz, that's awful news about your dad and yes of course, positive positive vibes. whereabouts are they?

Oh Sazz sweetie , I hope he is OK. Will keep everything crossed x

Only a flyer to send Sazzles HUGS and lots of positive vibes.

Back on tomorrow sometime - stuff going on here.

oh sazzles. I am sorry
Good vibes from here too.

Hope the stuff going on oops isn't bad stuff.

Sazz, you have all my vibes ----->>>>>>>>>> that's them, by the way

Sazz - sending lots of love and support from here too.

And from me too, Sazzles. Thinking of you.

positive vibes

thoughts for familysazzles, and miamla I have added you via skype (sorry , you did add me before and I went all suspicious of the internet and thought that I didn't know you, many apologies).

Off to put some pasta on.

PS I am keeping my halloween name as I like the thought that I am skinny, blond and can kickbox vampires, rather than massively pregnant, with big ankles and an average speed of about 1mph.

PPS Happy thanksgiving TS! glad that you had a good time, and no, DS is in disposables as I have never quite got round to sorting reusables/would have to buy them in the UK etc.

argh! i can read my facebook messages but i can't reply to any of them!!!

so my facebook replies to you girls here are:

TS excellent and thank you!
your meal sounds like an average meal in the miamla household with the spillage level you had! and no, we won't forget you tomorrow night!

red no, i'm not under my real name, but nice try! my skype name is firstname.fruitcake (where firstname is in fact my real firstname)

steaky i feel its only fair to warn you before you arrive that DS has got his grumpy pants on today! sorry! perhaps you can warn Izz for me as well!

lwfh gotcha!

Just a quickie to say to All those who are travelling to the BIG sleepover travel safely and have a great evening .

hiya oops, there's a dirty mark on my screen and it looked like you'd changed your name to 'cops and baby coconut'!

I have a funny feeling i should be doing something to prepare for the sleepover but i figure watching last night's gavin and stacey is top priority!

re the sleepover if anyone fancies jumping in the car or on the train at the last minute, you'd be more than welcome to pop in!

TS lol at your dad The first time my brother had surgery, he came out of the recovery room talking non-stop about football No change there then.

Hello to everyone else, enjoy your sleepover We'll be doing our Christmas shopping this weekend and having an NCT potluck lunch, but I will think of you (like this ).

Btw, does anyone fancy 25% off Monsoon till December 7th?

sazz prayers for your dad, hope he recovers quickly and keeps out of hosp.

Enjoy your meet-up ladies, do we get to see photos?

What about the photos from our meetup? Who was in charge of the cameras? Or are they just tooooo awful for publication

looking forward to tomorrow evening though am only partaking in the pre-sleepover fun!

Has steaky arrived at chezmiamla yet?

waiting for dh to get home so i cna go and collect dd and a school friend (lovely, boisterous boy). can't take ds as can only fit 2 seats in the back and am dead against children in the front. tis a pain, but...
