Been tidying for hours. It looks much better in here though. I said DP had ?nad practice? above, which sounds awful. I meant to type band practice.
Right, a few things I wanted to say earlier/yesterday, in no particular order:
Jam, is the pox all gone now? And how was Bluewater? (I love Bluewater). And are you still being driven potty by the cockerel nearby? Bloke at the end of our garden has bought one to go with his chickens, which is really annoying as they have coped nicely without one all these years. I wish it would zip it, or whatever you do with a beak.
Spot ? talking of illness, how is T now? (And re: bird noise, obviously you still have the gulls?)
ZJ ? your DD?s nodding ? we only have vigorous head shaking here, and emphatic cires of ?no!? She once said ?yeah?, evidently forgetting herself. ONCE.
Katie, that Wednesday sounds fine by me, or did I already say that? As to your DD?s comforter, I would say put out an SOS on the wider MN. Someone might have one lurking at the back of a cupboard and be willing to part with it. Sorry about your distress over your folks? house. I do understand and think moving and all that stuff is really traumatic. And I hope you get some solid answers about your DS from all these tests.
Veggie, that?s smashing about the dress. (Oh, and JJ slinking into those trousers). I am a blimp. I do look pregnant now, all of a sudden. Still in all my normal clothes, but that?s more a sad indictment of my clothes than a cause for celebration. The lady on the plane didn?t even flinch or look round. She was a lot cooler than I would have been. Maybe she thought it was a sex pest with a thing for muffin tops. I?m not really sure about O being frustrated as it would mean she is frustrated several times an hour. I am starting to think she has issues with me, actually. I had my hand on DP?s arm when she was in bed with us this morning, and she actually prised off my fingers. If she feels that I, her mother, is de trop, she is in for a BIG shock at the end of Sept.
NJAN ? you?ve gone driving mad! Every time you come on here, you are driving hither and thither like a demon! (I am jealous).
DaisyD ? were you asking about good tan sprays? Or was it Rubes? A good cheapie is L?Oreal Dry Mist. I am so pleased you had a good night out.
WG ? glad the trip was good and I will parcel up that stuff when I have a moment. As to that therapist, well?don?t you think she is the type to laud any of her experiences above everyone else?s? That?s how she struck me from her blog. And don?t feel bad about your cs, for heaven?s sake ? what were you supposed to do?? It?s not like you had any options, it?s not your blinkin? fault. Look, she will always waft through her life as if her shit don?t stink (to use a rather vulgar phrase beloved of my DP). Let her waft!
Avo, I can?t wee, either, for ages after a Moment of Pleasure, or M.O.P., as I now like to think of it so I do know what you are on about. In fact that?s probably why I have spent years being prone to cystitis, as you are supposed to wee asap afterwards to guard against it (if it is sex induced). I could lower the tone even further by telling you all that I really wanted a wee, er, during, the other night, and seriously contemplated just going I don?t know why I did, it just flickered across my mind that they weren?t my sheets and it might be exciting, but then I came to my senses that the ramifications might be too tedious. Anyway, that really is TMI. Sorry.
Urbane, it?s lovely to see you. I hope I haven?t driven you away again with my talk of kamikaze weeing.
MOM, I hope the rest of the week passes by without the need for further intervention. How I wish I could do something nice or useful for you. Re: muffin tops, I fear mine has got a proper hold.
Beans, I hope you aren?t having a hassly evening.
Summer, I know you feel antipathy for your MIL so I can tell you that whilst I am grateful that mine is looking after DD for a day whilst I am miles away, I am also dreading it as she is a bit of a snoop. Mid-July is good for me. Once this course is out of the way at the weekend I need to spend the rest of June doing some proper work.
Right, must dash. DP wants too watch The Wrestler tonight, that Mickey Rourke film. I still have this awful cold and now I am coughing like a consumptive. Most irritating.
