Hiya everyone.
Another cheeky post from work. MustnÂ?t make a habit of it, but would never catch up otherwise.
kayz sorry to hear about your troubles at home. Hope you are able to work things out for the better.
Effie sorry to hear about your mum. Sounds as if sheÂ?s on the right track for getting it under control.
Veggie have a lovely time in London. LetÂ?s meet up in Paris!
daisy funnily enough you turned up on my people you may know thingy on fb the other day as well and I have to say you looked all wrong! You are brunette surely! ItÂ?s a shame IÂ?ve met & seen photos of so many of you actually or I could give you a rundown of what you should all look like. I do remember in the early days syb mentioned being blonde and I just couldnÂ?t get my head around it as her old username definitely had brown hair, strong forearms and ruddy cheeks. And sweated a lot over a farmhouse kitchen table.

Hope you enjoy your course and manage to get some sense out of your bothersome agent. I saw DV the other day (one of LadyTÂ?s cricketers and the brother of one of DPÂ?s friends). I mentioned that I knew you (he asked how so I said we had DDs the same age so I know you through an antenatal group). I was so close to mentioning youÂ?re pg as it seems like itÂ?s been ages and of course you talk about it so openly on here. Then I realised you were actually only 8 weeks and so kept my big gob shut for once. All you pg lot, have you been telling people yet or not? I must admit I told anyone who would listen practically from getting the blue line (except work of course).
jj not sure what to suggest either Â? DS has never been that much of a climber so it wasnÂ?t really a problem. DD is a bit more intrepid but not in the same league as yours! Do you take her to soft play at all? If not, maybe you could try it Â? get a bit of climbing out of her system in a safe environment.
Jam hello, welcome back and congrats on your wedding. How are the LOs?
Beans bloody Beryl. And the poor nanny stuck in the middle like that. I think I would be looking at other options as well, but it does seem like a lot of hassle just for a few months though.
Aube sorry youÂ?re feeling under the weather again. Hope the doc gets to the bottom of it.
rube Beans is right, the free preschool places start at 3. DS will be entitled to 12.5 hours a week from April (15 from September), but the local preschool can only offer us 6 hours. As IÂ?m currently taking the car to work DP will have no way of getting him to a preschool in the neighbouring villages, so itÂ?s a bit of a pain.
wg bfing at night Â? I do it and donÂ?t give it a second thought.
zj DD has never had a bottle but will basically drink out of anything. She is actually pretty tasty with an open cup and I even took her for an M&S babycino the other week. She looked so sweet sipping from her teeny tiny cup holding her teeny tiny biscuit. Honestly, her table manners are better than mine. But she more often than not has a cup with a spout or a straw.
katie yay to the high heels. I have a friend who is 6ft and looks magnificent in a pair of heels. I too am lacking the shoe gene (although I do love SATC, somewhat inexplicably). I did buy some cracking high heels in New Look the other week though, although a) I canÂ?t walk in them and b) I have nothing to wear them for anyway.
Actually I have a similar wardrobe dilemma to katie. I�ve been invited to a Footballers Wives party (which sounds terribly suburban 1970�s sitcom in the manner of Vicars & Tarts doesn�t it?). I am desperately trying to get out of it, but should I fail, what can my outfit be? My budget is around £2.50.
Going back home this weekend as my dad is in hospital (again). He came very close to dying a couple of nights ago. Sounds quite gruesome and he & my sister had to say goodbye to each other as he was wheeled into theatre. Anyhow heÂ?s out of danger now Â? for the moment at least. Apparently he was on the phone to a friend last night and said heÂ?d had his last drink. WeÂ?ll see.
On a cheerier note, IÂ?d just like to say what an utter poppet DD is at the moment. She is just delightful. Her favourite thing at the moment is grabbing a hat (or other object, if no hats are to hand), putting it on her head and shouting Hat! Then she takes it off and does it again. And again. The other night she was wearing just a nappy & hat, legging it back and forth between me & DP doing high fives - IÂ?ve never seen her so overjoyed. Just adorable. She has also developed a penchant for wearing my knickers. She nicks them off the maiden or rummages round for them in the washing machine and is often to be found parading round with several pairs around her neck. Not always clean I might add. Then she will pick up a random item of clothing such as DSÂ?s pyjama bottoms and tuck them under her chin to complete the outfit and stagger sashay around the room.
Oops, manager back from meeting. Sorry anyone IÂ?ve missed (especially big mwahs to spot & Turnip).
When are we having another London meet-up?
