I have been hanging about for a few days waiting for the new thread, so I thought I'd get off my ass and make one myself. Happy weekend all, and Happy Mother's Day!

XXX

Sal - it's going to grow over, I swear . Not ready for that yet anyway.

Had a nice day; went in town and park with my homestart lady. Dad came up and played with the dcs and I got lovely stir fry from the butchers. Weather wa lush today. Tomorrow is toddlers then meeting a friend for lunch

I'm doing ok, slow and steady wins the race.

Also I have discovered mini egg dessert things - chic yoghurt stuff and about 6 mini eggs in the other compartment!

well, I knew how to do the stitches but had never done anything like increasing/decreasing to shape and had to do something called 'picking up' stitches for the neckband. But I knew that I'd lose motivation if I didn't try to make something that I actually wanted B to have.

Next up are mittens but I think I might have left it a bit late - by the time I've finished two it'll probably be too warm to wear them.

I did venture on a knitting website and nearly wet myself when i saw this sheep costume. I am soooo going to make it for B one day (when I'm much much better). Even if he never participates in a nativity.

Sal, did you ever go see the Teddies nursery? I'm starting to think about getting B in for 1 or 2 sessions a week somewhere before he hits three. I only just found the park (with cafe) close to it and had no idea there was a nursery close by. If you did, did you like it? and do you remember how much it was?

mini egg dessert things?? I can't decide whether that just sounds too wrong or whether I might want to hunt one down and try it

Lol Scorps!

Ladybee, yes, R's actually still going there once a week. It's £277 pm for the one day. Expensive, but he likes it. Send me an e-mail to [email protected] (sorry, I'm not currently subscribed to CAT on here), and I'll give you some more info.

Ugh... what a day...

Ended up spending the morning/early afternoon in hospital, having the abscess drained. Normally they do it under general anaesthetic, but did mine with local. It. Hurt. And still does. The doc said that I had a very high pain threshold though, so something to be proud of... or something?!

The painkillers they gave me to bring home make me feel very spaced out, so I won't be able to take them tomorrow while I'm on my own with G. Have to go to see district nurse tomorrow though to get it re-packed (blee) & re dressed, so will ask for something different.

Woe is me, etc etc etc!

Sounds horrid. Poor you. Take as much as allowed now so that you at least get a proper night's sleep. x

oof Knitter, that does sound rough. Dr must have been impressed, don't they normally say 'this might be a little uncomfortable' for excruciating treatments?

Good luck with it all tomorrow.

Sal, have mailed you.

Thanks Ladybee, have just sent you a long, rambling e-mail. Apologies in advance!

Thanks Sal - now I feel really bad S'cuse me people but how can I see your pics I've got no little profile thingamejig that I used to have and I need to see your new piccies!!

And so you should!

Re pics... Hmm, I don't know, I just click on someone's name, then on "pictures" at the bottom of the screen. Mine doesn't currently work as I've changed my profile to not being public. Heaven knows why, as I stick links to my personal photo's on here all the time... Anyway, that's how I saw Ladybee and PFJ's pics.

I've just made my profile public again. Mind you, it's just as boring as before and I'm trying to stay out of MN fights at the moment, so don't think anyone would actually care!

Thanks *Sal. Unfortunately, no matter how guilty you make me feel I still wouldn't be able to physically fit in a meet-up, so there!

I'm getting a migraine. I can barely see out of my left eye & I can feel the pain building in my head. And I've got a library full of pain in the arse adobrable Year 12 & 13.

Oh okayyyyyy then, if you're going to be all nice about it (ignoring the soppy tongue for a minute there ), I'll admit that, were I in your shoes, it wouldn't have been practical for me either. Would it help if I'll admit we'll miss you loads and might use that as an excuse to drink a cocktail on you ?

Any chance you could drink something immediately to stop migraine hitting you full out? Going home immediately? Hope you're ok.

Yes Sal that would help hugely! Unfortunately I can't go home as I'd have to come back again to pick up DH & DS1 & I don't think driving in this condition would be advisable LOL. I can see again now though so that's something. It's just the pain is kicking in like a good'un .

Have put 3 new photos on my profile. Please have a look if you get a mo

Aww Soph, your children are beautiful! I love the one with the two of them at the swing, they look so happy!

Thanks Sal .... we think so (in our completely unbiased opinion of course!)

Am going to get ready to go now.

See you tomorrow xxxxx

Night! Hope you feel better tomorrow.

Completely agree with Sal, gorgeous boys! And I can see that George has a rival in the 'cheeky face' stakes with Sam!

Hey ladies! Long time no speak!

Work 'puter wouldn't let me on and home one was broken so no MNing for me boo.

How's tricks?

OOOOO! It let me post because it was a new thread and the work firewall didn't recognise it!

WOO!

Molly is fine btw - proper little girl now - can't believe they are all going to be turning two soon!

Whoooo hooooo, hello Ellie!!! Ellie vs IT 1 - 0

All good here. No dates yet, but we're thinking of a summer meet up again. I've already started wondering how we'll gather all the lost sheep again to force attendance, but glad to see you came willingly.

I'm going to paint the bathroom white again today. My red phase is over (romantic look somewhat spoiled by the frogs and ducks that's taken over since Master's arrival...) Exciting life I lead, I tell 'ya!

Ellie!!!!!! Hello!!!

I was going to text you at the weekend, if we hadn't heard from you! Must be psychic or something...

I think we'll be able to 'round up some strays' via FB maybe, I know I'm friends with at least a couple of people that haven't posted for a while, I've been thinking about that too!

I hurt. Ouch.

And did I mention that it's George's bday on Sunday?

Yey for George! I was thinking about him the other day, he's one of the first isn't he?

It's all going so fast....

Why do you hurt knitter - is it your painful sounding draining of abcesses?

Molly did a wee in the potty last night. I was ridiculously proud, and then she wee'd all over the floor, so that served me right. I can't be bothered to do potty training properly now anyway, am just leaving it out sometimes for her to have a go.

Nice bedroom scheme sal - I am doing mine this weekend (maybe - it's been planned for several weekends) in a sort of very pale apple white is called, so just a hint of green. All my clothes are still in cardboard boxes as I need cabinets but have no money after the house purchase to buy them yet! Oops.

I am coming over to London in May with Molly for a few days so if anyone is around then might be nice to meet at the park or something?
