Evening all. Long time no hear. Hope everyone is doing well.
Well, the footie was crap wasn't it. England totally underperformed over hyped all tournament. 'nuff said.
I've been away for aagggeeesss. Usually lurk but not much of interest to say really .
Looby So sorry to hear your news . Take care . The next few days will be very tough. We're all here for you.
Muddled lovely to hear from you. Scary about a potential mmr rash. Hope ds feels ok.
Fi your current house sounds lovely. A converted 1890s church building - v nice indeed! Hope you sell soon though to someone who falls in love with the house.
Flip hope the washing is going well. At least it is perfect drying weather! Indeed sitting the garden watching the washing dry is a perfectly acceptable pasttime this afternoon . Am not sure how relaxing a holiday with the lo's at this age can be. My hols in a Northumbrian cottage begin next Saturday. Am looking forward to it, but also want to chill, which I'm not sure will be forthcomig....
Talking we get car and cat, plus some good sound effects including quack and brrrrum! Dd was a good early talker and a late walker, and it looks like ds may well follow in her footsteps.
Fi am tempted by couchto5km. Just rejoined the gym (new gym and pool at work which opene last month). I've been swimming c 3 times a week, but need to progress to the gym. Gladit's all going well.
ReeBee . Yup, I know the feeling. Too much to do, too little time, lots of niggles etc. My job is part time but was away two nights last week and have one night awaty this week. It's tough going atm, but can't wait for mid-July when my work goes quiet for a month. Sigh.
Belgina how were the night shifts? And v v exciting re ttc!
Llare how you doing? I'd love another dc but it's a definite no from dh. I'd be v confused with a +ve/-ve pg test. Soubnds like you had a lovely few days away with the boys despite the additionl work.
Cherry Long time no see! The sax is a fab instrument (although it reminds me of bad 80#s bands...). Wish I could play it.
Hi there Momi! Soulnds like you're working hard atm. Didn't know you (used to)play the cello. And good on you for taking up the piano. I love all musical instruments. Although I very recently freecycled our piano as it took up too much room and needed the space for the kid;s clutter. Dh was v pleased to see it go but I told him I'm getting an electronic piano in a few years. I used to play the oboe and piano as a youth (and accordian but that is quite comical). Am v v impressed you have learned that piece via youtube video!!
Evening ses! How much alcohol did you consume then ? Can't remember the last time dh and I had a date but we really really need one. We have been v grumpy with each other lately. Your dh got some lovely gifts for your anniversay. Hope you had a lovely evening.And hope Megan has recovered from her incident.Has O been ok this week btw? Saw your FB updates.
Smokey how you doing? Hope you are keeping well.
Hello to everyone else I haven't managed to nc, and all those (like me) who lurk. Life really does get in the way of MN.
All is ok here. B is a little monkey but ridiculoously cute - he is sooo cuddly, but sometimes wants me a little bit too much (quite clingy). He is still a way off walking, and has only recently started pulling himslef up. Am quite chilled about this as he seems a classic bum shuffler 9ie no need to walk as his hands are free as he hops around on his bum. He is pretty good with his hands (good with his shape sorter). His hair is growing v v curly and in ringlets which is a surprise (same as dd but for some reason a bit unexpected).
I'm ok. Work has been full on for both dh and I, with a lot of late working and juggling childcare for both of us which has been stressful.
But some of you will have seen on FB about my night away wiht my girl friends a couple of weeks back, where by some bizarre twist of fate, Jason Orange (take That fame in case you need to know!) came to join us for our evening meal {shock] . I'll dine out on that story for some time!
