AUG08 - Amazing Children belonging to the Most AMAZING Group of Friends

[TwilightSurfer]

I am so blessed to be part of this group. We are starting another year together, our 3rd but who's counting. May you each have a happy and healthy one. I look forward to more meetups, more FBing, more Skyping, more Waving, more crazy tales, more laughter, more hand holding, and more support than is humanly possible! XOX

Love you all too

mwah mwah mwah!

Love you all too.

We had a busy day here with no hoped for sledging as all crappy rain. I took DD1 swimming, we made some onion marmalade, 3 huge jars of balsamic pickled onions, cleared out the kitchen cupboards and watched Polar Express. Glad to be sat down now

steaky i would say if something comes along then why not? But obviously with care both for you and the divorce as TS says. Getting the ball rolling from your side sounds very sensible as 'D'H seems to be a bit caught up in himself atm

TS thanks for the new thread and hope your bug has now passed

Well said TS, there'll be no out with the old among us lot

Just passing as am off to bed shortly with book in hand...

Oh how lovely

This time last year you barely knew me as although I had been lurking for a long time I had only been posting a few weeks.

Now I have some of my best friends on here . Thank you for taking me to your (magnificent) bosoms

Were you not here for the birthing Hots? [crap memory emoticon]

No, I finally braved it a year after conception, so mid-November last year

That's one reason I want another baby - so I can have a thread on it

Bit extreme

I know Don't tell DH, he would never agree then

So glad you did take the plunge though

So am I kiddo

I'm sure I did chip in with my birth story later on, not particularly thrilling to anyone but me, just long long overdue

Well, all i can say is you were lucky to miss out on my shall i/shan't i have a CS which went on for weeks

No I didn't miss it, as I read every single post from November 07 onwards but for various reasons never actually plucked up the courage to post myself

Oh bless you, you numpty

I'll bet after you finally plucked up the courage we all just went, 'oh hi, come join, have a cupcake/glass of wine/rant about DH. Oh and what is your DS called?' (just to be polite obviously )

Yes you were very nice (although you spelled my name wrong at first...)

In fact to my shame, the name thing is one of the main reasons why i never piped up I was waiting until 12 weeks due to a previous missed miscariage, then maybe the day before I had psyched myself up to post Buckets changed her name back to Buckets after her Christmas name, and it was too similar to my mn name so I thought I would look like copying . Then I couldn't think of a half-decent name to change to , and every time I thought 'oh fuck it' some other lurker popped out of the woodwork and I didn't want to look like copying again

It is a good job I have decided to take my life in both hands since I was 40 and stop being such a wuss

tis the Sazz and Hots mutual appreciation show

just getting you on my list ladies, been out to see -RbtDowneyJnr-- Holmes and now for bed as have solicitor in morning (cafe stuff don't panic I've not had the jail again )

Hi ladies, mind if I join you?

I got my bfp exactly one year ago today so have sadly been lurking on the ante / post natal threads for way too long! It seems quite stalkerish that I feel I know you all so well and you don't know me at all so I am finally taking the plunge.

I have some home made star shaped chocolate biscuits to share if that helps?!

HP joined us during our Hummingbird cake discussion.

hey,

just adding myself onto thread..

echo everyone elses thoughts that this is the best group ever and i truly don't know what i would do without the wonderful support ...

still getting up at silly o'clock but since today is our first day since xmas eve with no visitors to entertain i will be dozing on the sofa all day yeayyyyyyyy

Well after a quick wake from DD1 wanting to come into our bed at 12.30am (err, no love ), all quiet until 8. DD2 still asleep . DD1 watching Thomas The Tank Engine in bed with us and i am MN and drinking tea. Lovely

LOTI hope you do manage some rest today. Definitely sounds like you need it

Great sleuthing TS

Well done on bringing biscuits otter. No wonder you were welcomed so warmly with open arms

Morning All

HUGS all round - I missed the soppy discussion yesterday. I never thought I would be here still and the second one on the thread expecting another one so soon.

Am in bed with MN and a glass of lemonade (still sadly missing tea) DD sitting here watching pig and reading me stories. Dh got up with her after her feed at 7 and left me to it until DD came up the stairs herself to find me. Dh was going mad downstairs looking for her as he didn't realise the stairgate was open. She snuggled in and DH has headed out to Costa for coffee and almond pastries, guess which on is for me?

We were heading out for a walk but it has started raining so that may be out for a bit. No snow here and unlikely to have any
