August 08 - We three kings of orient are, one in a taxi one in a car..

[steaknife]

...one on a scooter beeping his hooter, smoking a fat cigar

Apologies to the goodly and the good amongst us.

vg... love you and love your directness!

oops listen to her, she speaks sense!! oh and play the pregnancy card if nothing else works! I'm tempted to travel from london for the goodies you've made so not sure what planet the NCT messer is on!

right, i've got books to order

Thanks for that VG and Miamla - unfortunately Miamla she chose her e-mail to tell us all she was pregnant again and very tired and sick with it so my feeling better at 17 weeks isn't going to hold much water! As for rescheduling it is the little ones Secret santa and party so I want it to go ahead. Another girl can't make all of it as her DD has swimming and another nursery party but was still willing to try and squish it all in even if she only saw us for an hour. I just sent back an very short e-mail saying 'make up your minds and let me know what you decided I don't have the energy to make any other plans.' Rude I know but so was she!

I have ordered my books - due to arrive by Friday

ooh does anyone have googlewave? apparently you have have mass chat ins!

well I've got skype, so would be happy to join in an xmas chat

Hey ladies.
at that oops how rude of her.

vg

I have done all my wrapping. At least 30 odd gifts last night,while watching Twilight again..

I am on quick as dh is upstairs with dd and fil, as dd is showing 'grandad' some of her toys.

We were about to go out to bil house but cant mention it infront of fil as they have fell out, and dh feels uncomfartable telling his own dad that he was about to go and see his own brother and vise versa. Families eh?

steaky tantrums Oh yes. Big time.
IN fact had a shocking night. Up with ds from 12 till 3am. then he was up at 6.
Not screaming crying,but screaming angry. No idea why.
another illness brewing no doubt

DD refused to go to pre school this am as dh was home. Now I am not one for giving in and not making her go, but the guilt of her her not seeing dh for few days due to his shift pattern, made me think oh whatever.
She has been quite upset past few days not seeing him in the morning or the evening

So when she saw him this am she said 'don't want you mummy, I want daddy'
So he took her shopping while me and ds went to farm.
Only annoys me because I have to pay if she goes or not. Dh wants to pull her out as he says its not worth it.
He also thinks that when she starts afternoons in september, ds will start in mornig so it will be ridiculous going back and forth all day.

vice even. Don't know why I bother to correct myself as don't write/punctuate properly anyway. [lazy emoticon]

i'm on googlewave! oops are you on? if not, i've got a few invites gwan on you will...come and be my googlewave friend!!!

i've got 8 invites, i think, so first 8 who say 'give me one you big hunk of loveliness' get to join me

ooh so its a day for ordering books what did you get Oops? oh and well done on your reply, you told em that you're not taking any nonsense! can't believe you're 17 weeks already!

vg yup, always ready for you my dear just let me know when you're on and fancy a chat. i'm assuming a glass of wine will be compulsory?

no1 sounds like you've got even more fun and games with your family than i have!

No1 Aah, I don't blame you for giving her the day off, sounds like she needed some Daddytime. When does she start getting free pre-school then? Would they really both be at pre-school in the same year?

Am writing it down so you can nag me if I don't do it, "am going to do some wrapping tonight". Thanks.

just signd up to google wave - I am a pushover for joining a gang.

And found the most helpful man at AOL - and Irish boy, wanted to keep him talking all day.

PB - my two will both be at preschool in from Sept 2010 to Sept 2011

oops loved, loved, loved your reply [evil grin]. What has the response been?

No1 A morning off for C sounds lovely and i think you can get away with her 'expecting' it when Daddy is home as we are so close to Xmas

miamla what the bloody hell is googlewave - do you need webcams etc? [technophobe]

VG LOL at 'get a grip it's only a button not an arsenic pellet' . How is MammaVG today?

I have been to pick up the girls dollshouse from a friend i bought if from for £40, It is beautiful . SO now i have to go out into the freezing rain and bring it in, when all i want to do is cozy up with a cuppa [tres tres lazy emoticon]

LOL steaky. Did you get his direct line number in case you need for any reason to contact him again?

Not been on for aaaaages,

miamla and oops what books did you get? I orderd some for me in amongst xmas pressies last week. they are both for my book group but....

Sorry PB, I lie, they will not . But they will only be once school year apart

Miamla - could you throw me a googlewave invite please I ordered 'The Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society', 'Three cups of Tea' and 'When a crocodile eats the sun'

I have had no reply about my e-mail yet, but not expecting anything until tonight/tomorrow as loads of them don't reply that often.

DD and I have baked, made things and been shopping online and off. Making red onion marmalade as we speak!

ooh GLAPPS is great oops. loved it!

Jumping in to say Hi! so, Hi! back later....

Heavens above 1.5kgs of red onions don't half make you cry.......

doing a cavey jump in to say hi too, inlaws away, dad here, shift in cafe this morning, meeting straight after, dash home for school party, work on puter this afternoon, meeting tonight and vino collapso and wrapping scheduled for tonight

LOL at you hi! jumpers

Have completed present audit and i must say i am mightily chuffed with the gifts i have chosen. One small problem is that i seem to have 'collected' rather too many gifts for the girls . Am trying to work out how to distract DH on Christmas day so he doesn;t realise they are all from us

This is the dolls house i picked up today. It also has two extensions and by the look of it about 6 of the interiors sets. So i reckon about £250 of stuff for £40!! I am thinking now that we should have given them this (rather than my sister) and not bought the kitchen. EEk. Am hoping they might email and say the kitchen is out of stock

Ladies - I have been a super sulky brat and called Friday off, if they want to organise themselves then they can go ahead. DD and I are taking all the goodies we have made down to the local old folks home for their CHristmas party at lunchtime on Friday. Makes me feel good and will hopefully make some oldies who have no family to go to have a good Christmas.

Sazzles - I have had to restrain myself this last week or DD would be getting a whole heap of things I didn't plan for. So far she has a kitchen (not a posh one) a buggy, some posh wooden food and a whole heap of little things. Very posh dolls house of your bargains.
