[SantasNutts]

here we go then Merry Christmas One and all!! xxxxx

bloody hell, with newfangled technology and all that, surely we could have a live link to the meetup?

I have spent the evening on the sofa doing very little other than e-mail catching up. Not quite sure where the time has gone, TBH.
It is now 21:55 and I am contemplating bed.

ooh a live link... now next time we should do that...all you'd need is a laptop with camera and everyone else (not there) being a part of msn messenger

I could bring my little viao, fits in a hang bag nicely and I could link it up and leave the feed going... It would be rather fun.

Though I do think Auld that we should have the next meet up in France, and I'm not sure what the roaming charges would cost me ;)

Hi there! I am a March mummy gatecrashing....

I opened the bar...what would you like Elemental?

I'm drinking whiskeys. This is my second

Hello Elemental!

I think we need to plot a Provence meet up asap. Presence obligatory.
Then roaming wd be unnecessary...

Obligatory. We will need to win the lottery.

Mmm, well what goes well with 2 glasses of red? Maybe some of that lovely alcoholic ginger beer?

Bebe, we need the Euromillion! Very apt.

Am I the only saddo still not drinking, then?

Hic

I'm on my third glass of champagne

And seething because Orbit went to bed without a murmur, and hasn't woken up once yet.

If he chooses tonight to sleep through, I may just SCWEAM too.

I nearly jumped on a train at the last minute, but then thought better/worse of it.

Still, DP is cooking steak and chips and cavolo nero

And we are drinking the really good champagne - this stuff. Anyone else want some?

I went out on Wed and put going out makeup on and nearly terrified myself - had to ask DP if I looked like a tart, it was so out of the ordinary I couldn't judge it!

ooh they make alcoholic ginger beer? mmmm

Would you like chocolates with your red?

So Elemental was you lo born this year? My little Moo was born April4th so she was nearly a March babe

In a similar line WFH just before I left work I helped with the book launch of 4th Twilight book in my store. Everyone was supposed to dress vampirey... and I did my make-up and wore clothes like I did before I got married... and could not believe how much I felt like I was in a costume and looked silly...Very strange. I asked dh what he thought and he (who never saw me like that because I quite wearing 'such things' just before I met him) was

Yeah - Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer, it's ace!

My little ds was born on 17th March.

And, yes, please to chocolates! Although I have some ginger biscuits in the oven.

Mmm fresh ginger biscuits Lovely.

Well congrats. So you're nearly in the same place as us.

Dang Moo is crying hardcore she started a while back and I thought if let her she'd fall back asleep.. no good obviously.
I'll be back if I can ladies, but I'll leave the bar open and the chocolates out.

Yeah, not far off. LO was 9 months yesterday and is clambering up on all the furniture. What are your LOs up to?

ooooooh< saw an advert fot crabbies the other day...thought that's my drink!!! - does anyone remember when they started with alcopops and they had a dink called vanilla shots??? tasted like cream soda but was alcoholic......my how i miss them!!!

Iris has been refusing her morning nap recently trying to go for a mammouth 2.5 hr nap in the middle of the day...that's all good when i'm at home, but i'm at my parents and am trying nmot to go into the the bedroom as much as i can. My DM is v much of the "she-who-shall-not-be-named" school of thought. She bought her a lullaby machine for xmas, called it a sleeping aid and then told me i should use it tonight. Seemed quite amazed that I had one already!! And knew how to use it.

Seeing as Iris has woken twice this week at 11 pm and last night at 5 am for a play and chat who knows what tonight will bring.

Who thought of the live link up?? Genius!! do we all have skype?? we can conference call...may not be able to see each other but we be able to talk at least!

Anyhow, im on my 2nd Vodka and 1 glass of wine with dinner and have all my family tomorrow so i suppose i should stop, but i dont wanna!!!!

Hey Ele - welcome

OI! MEET UP POSSE!

Not one teeny tiny message from one of your collective iPhones/Mobile numbers all evening?

Tchah.

Consider yourself off my Christmas list.

WFH - I'm home. Comfy bra back on, contact lenses out, coffee in hand. It was a great evening. I look forward to seeing you next time.

Surprise - I'm so sorry to hear about you uncle. That's shocking. I hope you are okay?

Hi Elemental, pleased to meet you.

Bugger to all of you drinking cyber alcohol - perhaps as I cannot spell it's a good job I didn't even get that close to anything that could make me squiffy!

Havent' had a shower for 2 days and am covered in snot - not mine. Loving being a parent!

Auld, sent you an fb message.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell... my head is a bit fuzzy this morning - I'm quite glad I didn't have that last glass of wine. My god I'm a cheap date these days.

I am pleased to report that all the april meet up mummies are just as yummy in real life

Looking forward to hearing how the Portsmouth posse got on back at BB's - I'm sure the party continued there

Thank you ladies for a lovely evening... let's do it again soon. I still think a meet up in the spring with our LOs would be fun as well as another night out at some point...

I can't get dominic the donkey out of my head

xposts tigs - morning

and hello welcome to Elemental

yum yum
