AUG 08 - So how many more will be expecting again before this thread is full?

[TwilightSurfer]

Do tell?

had a wonderful nap so we're ready to start the day again now

GREEN GARDENIA check your voicemail messages!!!!

dizz poor little thing, sending gentle hugs your way

oops you hallucinating again?! you need to stop it on that loopy juice!

cyteen v wise words....GG...listen to her!!

have spoken to most suppliers/venue etc this morning...they alll keep telling me not to worry. i have to keep explaining that i'm paying them to do their jobs and thererfore they have the worry, not me! ooh i get to be a pretty bride on saturday...i'm getting really quite excited now! DP was funny last night, he asked me if i was planning on shaving my legs before the big day I figure my dress is long enough not to have to worry (i haven't told him this bit though!) Ooh, remember when we were chatting about pre-birth fanjo shaving... i could shave crop circles onto my legs! i reckon if he did i might be a divorced girl by the time the solicitors open on Tuesday! oh and DP was apparently going to april fool me and tell me the wedding was off because he'd changed his mind. told him it wouldn't have been a problem, I'd still be having a bloody good party on saturday! he wasn't too amused

well she's pootling about naked laced up on paracetamol/anti histamen and having had eurax poured all over her privates, DH is asleep on the couch and DD2 watching Ben and Holly - she's shattered from going to the theatre again this morning and DH taking her out on her bike in a wee while for a bit of one to one time.

Miamla - am delighted to hear all the plans are coming together effortlessly and you really should take a lot of credit for organising it all and remaining calm. I am SO sorry I'm going to miss it. The cunning plan was for DH and I to drive down to Chez Sazz tomorrow and all of us to come and nosey support you on Sat, this however is not meant to be as I cannot in good conscience make poor wee D spend that long in the car in her current state DH did offer to stay with D and I could drive down with the girls but I wouldn't forgive myself for leaving poorly baby (and drive would terrify me with ASBO kid & DD1 )

I wish you all the very best in the world for Sat and can't wait to see the photos and hear all about it from the truckers who are managing to make it

Sazz/Hots am so sorry to have knackered the plans - tis such shitey timing and we were so looking forward to it, at least the car has had its annual hoover in anticipation of a trip

Miamla - we followed your fantastic example and both went for a nap - DD now in a better mood and I am too Not that I was in a bad mood just a tired one.

Off to find some lunch.

hey everyone,

just managed to have my breakfast and its 1pm!!! thankfully dd1 is feeling a little better now abs have been given.. took both to plygroup this am so dd2 now napping and dd1 watching spongebob ..

poor dylan dizzy.. really hope you have all had a good nap and can get away hugs..

gg.. don't agree with cm watching her own tv whilst looking after ds2.. not fair on him or you.. not what she is paid to do.. i've being looking after my two full time all week and not once have i put on even the news whilst they are around.. they have a couple of favourite programmes they enjoy but apart from that its play/play/play.. knackering but its what i am here for and what you would do with ds2 if you were not at work.. therefore the cm should follow suit.. hope i haven't harped on there..

miamla.. in case i forget [which i probably will knowing my brain atm].. happy happy wedding day.. i truly hope you, dp and ds have a magical day and will be thinking of yoy ..

good luck today sazz, go kick ass..

only a couple more hours of work hots ..

waves to everyone else ..

oh forgot to say that dh's gran is doing ok but not great.. she is sounding alot slower but dh's parents think she has improved since it happened on mon.. so fingers crossed

Oh Dizzy - but I can totally understand where you are coming from. Will be sad to miss you so the DDs and I will have to make a trip up to you in the summer!

Miamla I too am likely to forget, so MERRY WEDDING DAY for Saturday - I am so excited for you, really hope the day goes beautifully and your soon-to-be-DH swoons when he sees you walking down the aisle I also can't wait to hear all about it - looking forward to picking up tips for September! xx

oh dizz, i did wonder if you were one of my secret gatecrashers. i'm so sad that you can't make it now but completely understand. Tis one of the reasons i wouldn't tell you what my favours were because i had an inkling that you'd be there to collect one yourself

yes after huge amounts of bartering with work dh & I managed to get time off & very very gracious Sazzles family were to put us up even with the dixies & the poxette but she's just not well enough to travel all the best laid plans

for missed reunions.. poor d dizzy..

sazz atm the mo he is going {not due to leave til wed] but he is going to wait and see..

his stupid brother said at the pub the other night "hope gran doesn't die before vegas" .. dh will make decision on morning of trip i think.. he adores vegas but would never forgive himself for going if gran is bad way

oh dizzy poor wee Dylan. Am not to be meeting you on Saturday

waves at everyone.

Ah bums Dizzy. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed she perks up overnight and you can bring the big two down. Would be a lovely bonding opportunity for your DH and how often do you get to hang out with just the big two?

Right, I now have possession of my DSis's sewing machine and have to put my money where my mouth is - meep.

ooh look who is back it's blowjob bunny

He came back just intime for Miamla's wedding

well I tried putting her down at 7pm and DH took the girls out on their scooters - did NOT go well at all and we gave up and brought her back down

took her back up with the girls at 8pm, administered anti histamen/calpol and reapplied some cream and she's STILL breaking her heart D never does this, she gets put in her cot and left because she just pops in her thumb and goes to sleep - wee pudding

Buckets - whilst I appreciate the sentiment, DH and I never have time off together as a family due to working opposite shift so, although Sazz is completely correct in the fact that I don't relish the drive with DD1 and DD2 I also don't want to spend time away from DH or poorly D when this is our only time off as a family this year - we've no time off together during the summer holidays (fecking work) and this was our one chance at being away. we were heading to chez Sazz, then boat from Holyhead to Dublin to stay with friends there, then up to the PIL for fleeting visit before farm and home. such shitey timing all round

right sorry for bleating on

Poppy - hope you've managed to get away for your weekend and that M is much improved

LOTI - glad to hear of improvements in DH's gran

Miamla - hope you're not over doing it - remember to ask for help

Oops - wash your mouth out young lady

Sorry Miss Dizzy

Aaaaaaw. Plus if you had to drive you'd have to stop for so many toilet breaks it would take you all weekend to get there. A staycation will give you and DH more chance to catch up on sleep anyway which has got to be pretty priceless right now.

Procrastinating procrastinating, scared of sewing machine, moi? No no no, have just decided to make a template for my new patchwork project instead as it's more portable for crafty coffee club tomorrow.

Oh Dizzy don't apologise, what a shame Poor little D and poor all of you to have to abandon your plans . I had no idea you were planning to join us on Sat, now I'm gutted that you won't be! Hope you all get some sleep tonight eventually.

thanks pert - tbh DH was being mucked about so much at the work regarding days off as he should be night shift tonight & tomorrow night meaning he wouldn't be finished till 7amon Sat morning that it nearly didn't happen at all - Sazz was kind enough to be very patient with and the mucking about and then of course we get poxed!

tbh, if this is the worst thing to happen in the run up to Miamla's wedding then I'm happy enough with that, would be worse if M was saying that T had pox etc etc and at least we weren't guests she was needing to feed etc - am selfishly devestated though as time off together is such a rareity.

buckets I cannot imagine you being frightened of anything

all gone quiet, dare I hope thedrugshavekickedin she's fallen asleep

its sitting ready and waiting if we have another night like last night although I have to remember to check regards anti histamen already administered

Sazz - we'd even got ourselves bang up to date with masterchef so we'd have some culinary chat for Mr Sazz

Oh Dizzy - I hope you have a more peaceful evening. Early to bed for you!
