AUG 08 - Be who you are and say what you feel...

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." --Dr. Suess

Sazz ,glad the swimming went well, was DD2's lesson today as well and she was great - now am not saying she's destined for olympic glory but at least she got stuck in of sorts D doing the exact same as E and emptying drawers/cupboards/washing machines etc etc at minute - all very tedious, esp as this may not be a passing phase but something inherited from her father

oh when will i stop x-posting

shall we all have a 'we're fucking wonderful mothers' hug? dizz, you'd better bloody well join in girl, you're our ringleader!

Watch out Dizzy I'm after you with a licked tissue (and a hug). Periods eh, whose fecking brilliant idea were they

god its Dad's birthday today too but he infuriates the fuck out of me was moaning on and on and on and on about nothing and I couldn't be bothered. When he asked why he didn't have a rapt audience I explained that I was annoyed he didn't come up on Sat, didn't phone on Sun to ask how it went and hadn't asked after the girls at all during the conversation. When I asked him was he visiting anytime soon he said no, not until the weather is better however he can manage to drive his 4x4 up the notoriously bad A9 all the way to Elgin next week to stay with my great uncle - it would take him 20minutes to detour to here ffs

right, rant over, I promise - sorry

HP - I still have 11 weeks to go so yes Hector has plenty of time to turn but the MW is a bit of a panic-er even the consultant thinks she is ridiculous and I should avoid her at all costs.

Dizzy - I am not surprised you are tetchy with all you have on your plate - you have a home to run with DDs to sort out, DH to arrange and treat like the husband and the man you married too, the cafe, working shifts opposite DH so you don't often get to see each other alot, sorting out childcare, helping others with their problems, listening and being a general rock to so many of us. Give yourself a little break - If I achieve half what you do most days I feel exhausted but you do it and mostly without complaint to anyone except occasionally us. ((HUGS))

oops how on earth did we get to 29wks?!!?!?? oooooooh this is getting too exciting, weddings, babies, weddings and babies got to love 2010

Don't get me started on shit dads, grrrr. Luckily I am shallow enough that most of the damage mine did has been washed away in wine over time

Oops Have you researched Ena May Gaskin at all?

Buckets - I borrowed my reflexologist's book before DD was born - I am going to borrow it again I think! BUT if DH tried to snog me during contractions I may have to bite his tongue off!

11 weeks to go bloody hell that's coming round fast!

oh christ, Buckets I couldn't manage Ena May without wanting to punch her - Sazz have you still got Stand and Deliver or did you give me that back?

Hots - maybe you're right, maybe I should hang up the orange squash and reach for the vino and tortilla chips?!?!

and my pal has just been on phone yabbering on about how they've only 2wks till they go to NY - am sure I wasn't that annoying when I was going

no no, pass it to Oops, I felt it was much easier on the brain than Ina and her guilttrips advice

did I not mention it!? am not known for my bragging/wittering on

Wine yes, tortilla chips????????? NOOOOOOOOO! (well OK you can have a few just don't tell Herr Sazz )

Who went to NY??

telly is truely depressing tonight - Cape town's druggie street children or Zimbabwe's lost children, or Why did you kill my dad ??? Chripy programming for a Monday night!

what tortilla chips [innocent emoticon]

tbh I could do a lot more damage with all the cheese scones/malteser traybake and white chocolate cheesecake sitting through there but I won't [check me out emoticon]

right there with you Oops and I've watched everything I've taped - I bought the Time Travellers Wife the other day in Tesco, anyone seen it? I liked the book but didn't see the film and had a DVD to exchange so thought why not

I have just eaten a giant little bowl of icecream with broken up Violet Crumble (aussie crunchie) on it - delicious.

Dizzy - I would love to borrow you book and then I can return it to you for when number 4 arrives (because you don't have enough on your plate as it is?)

Dh has now put on Myth buster where they are ligthing matches with bullets and making earwax candles a'la Shrek.

Cyteen I can't say it as well as the others either - but I am thinking of you and hope you have been persuaded to be kind to yourself this evening.

In fact I hope everyone is spoiling themselves tonight, it may be spring-like in the daytime but after dark it's still cold, Monday night and if there isn't even any cheerful telly...
