well i've had to refund nipper buyer £20 plus idiot but some vans listed under boys shoes and now received said was expecting adults 10's so needs a refund...ummmmm NO! Having crap day, tension in my shoulders is horrific i really feel tearful but thats prob pre menstrual.

My coil is copper kind carrie i can have any hormone related as it does affect my migraines terribly. As does being pg i am awful then.

I feel down today really down. off to get on with the ironing again! At least dh here has had his car valeted after yesterday and is now busy bleaching carseats and washing covers!

basl · 06/08/2010 11:08

Awwwwwwwwww nicola no wonder you feel down. Mmmm i think pushchair selling and ebay selling is very stressful as you know. Try and put it behind you now as you have your fabby double nipper, xt, single nipper Grin.

Tells the vans person to piss off and dont refund anything to them.

Car will be all nice and clean and maybe dh can take the kids out for a little while?

I wish i lived near you as i would be on the blower saying "right send them all over to me luv and go have lie down"

Take care nicola hope your day improves.

Here have a big squeezy hug from me xxxxxxxxx

basl · 06/08/2010 11:15

Sorry squeezy hug prob not the best thing when you have sore shoulders. So instead i send soothing massaging calm vibes to you.

Can you feel them yet???

GeekOfTheWeek · 06/08/2010 12:53

Hi all,

Well done on your return to work basl.

How you feeling now nic? Why do you have to refund £20? I wouldnt refund the other person either. I dont sell on ebay anymore cos of shit like this.

nicolamumof3 · 06/08/2010 13:52

Boys excited as we are off to neighbours later for bbq and they love their little baby.

basl · 06/08/2010 17:06

Hiya Geek Grin

Hi basl Grin How did lunch go?

basl · 06/08/2010 19:47

Well good evening to you!! yes the lunch was ok today. Just a tiny little Olivia bashing that i witnessed but on a whole i was very proud of my children today. They sat well at the table and ate well. Daniel impressed me so much today as he is always tagged with the label Handfull or wild or fidget bum. Well that boy of mines sat on a big chair like the rest and ate so well without a fuss noice or anything AND he said Tankyou to wicked witch Auntie Suzanne and she was a bit [shocked] I was thinking to my self "Go on son stick that in your pipe and smoke it" Sorry but it all really gets my goat.

How are you Geek and how is dh and fil? When does the new pushchair come?

5in hope your liking your new house!!!! Looking forward to hearing all about it. x

carrielou2007 · 06/08/2010 20:24

Evening Smile

Basl I am so proud of your children reading that!!!!! Why why why are you so bloomin far away from me???? I was watching Location last night at the stunning stunning houses thinking, oooooooooooh and then I could see you every day

FMTD do you have room for a fat one slim one in your suitcase???

Nicola stress of a family and three lovely boys, men would never cope would they??

Lovely day shopping today until my boss rang and he was in Bristol so I met him and am going back to work in two weeks Sad. I love my job soooooooooooooo much but I have agreed to come back to work early to get some brownie points and so bought a breast pump today. I HATED bf dd but it went really well and now I just don't feel ready yet to stop with ds so will get the dreaded udders in the flippin thing!!!

I need a few more purchases to help deaden the pain as I can't have chocolate or wine!!!!!!!!!!!

nicolamumof3 · 06/08/2010 20:32

oh carrie its horrible feeling isn't it torn both ways, how many days do you have to do??

im so glad you had a good lunch basl your kids showed her eh? Wink

just back from dinner at neighbours turned into dinner rather than bbq. There little boy v.v.cute just six months...lovely age isn't it?

Anyone heard from 5in...where is she? hasn't left us i hope? Sad

basl · 06/08/2010 21:05

Carrie Grin i don't think any of those stunning houses are anywhere near where i like i would imagine but if you want to buy one and it's in driving distance for me Wink then everyday it is Grin

Oh i remember the old expressing when going back to work. Mmmmm tricky one as you do love your job soooooooooooo much Smile if you can do both then well done you i say.

Did you get anything nice today?

How is the head nicola? and yes 6month is a lovely age mind you i am liking this 2yrs old age more and more Smile

5in sounds like she is so busy i would imagine.

nicolamumof3 · 06/08/2010 21:18

head is fine, even after couple glasses cava and white wine! lovely to hear that basl he's coming round isn't he love him!

basl · 06/08/2010 21:29

ohhhh cava drooooooooooool Grin good about your head and allowed you to enjoy your dinner out.
Don't get me wrong he still has his moments. He can have the best meltdowns i have ever seen but usually a good reason for them.
He is not normally that good at sitting still at the table but today i could not take me eyes of him. He is so little compared to his sister and all his cousins but the wee man does so well.

We had a school uniform fashion show today nicola after seeing your tate in his lovely uniform. Olivia was really embarassed about it and was a nightmare to try it on but when she finally had it all on. OMG she looked so grown up. My sister will miss her as she will be in for her op and asked Olivia for a showcase and she was having none of it. Grin

nicolamumof3 · 06/08/2010 21:32

oh bless her is she nervous about it still? Tate is so excited he loved his uniform on wanted pe kit too!

basl · 06/08/2010 22:02

Heee heee you have your boys well trained. Olivia is very shy about showing her self of sometimes and other times she is asking people if they think her outfit is gorgeous Blush

It really depends on her mood. I think she was tired today and did not want to parade in front of everyone. Daniel on the other hand loves trying on clothes and LOVES shoes. I could hardly get him out of next the other day as he wanted to try them all on.

nicolamumof3 · 06/08/2010 22:14

im thinking selling black xt to get a red one!! Blush

basl · 06/08/2010 22:22

Well i just picked myself up from the floor and dusted myself down and i am now going to read that again.

Shock it's red!!!! Would i be right in saying you don't do red? Or am i getting mixed up. Nicola what is your whats that word everyone uses when asking about how many prams you have had. Emmmmm What your rational???? Heeeeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeee love it. Grin

nicolamumof3 · 06/08/2010 22:34

rationale? just fancy it..but yes you are right i don't normally like red...hmmm best sleep on this one lol!

So basl what do you have planned for w/end? dh crashed out an hour ago upstairs so im off to bed, he's taking me to Bluewater tomorrow..lucky man eh?! Grin

basl · 06/08/2010 22:41

Yes nicola you sleep on that! and please please don't give yourself anymore stress!!! I can just see it now. Sell the xt get the red one. Don't like it so much then have to sell it and then get a black xt and ohhhhhh i feel a bit unsure for you but yes i would agree it is very nice indeed but your black one is so nice and will be more forgiving of any marks. Not that any would be allowed within an inch of your pushchair Grin

I am off to a friend of my family's 25 wedding anniversary but we were also invited to a wedding on the same night. So my dh is going to take us to the party stay a while then go to the wedding as they are really good friends. My parents are on holiday and mum begged me to show face at the party as she had gone on hols at the time of the party.
Kids will have fun but not the best night out ever but i have a nice new dress to wear so all is well.

Night Night Nicola Sweet dreams and hope you feel much better tomorrow xxxx

nicolamumof3 · 06/08/2010 22:59

ooh whats your dress like? im looking for a maxi to wear to party in a couple of weeks. Will try and look at bluewater tomorrow. Will also look at red xt in detail at m/care!

basl · 06/08/2010 23:17

Well my dress is nothing i would wear normally but i really like it. It is sort of bustier at the top [black] and all the rest a sort of floral pattern deep reds and cream. Hard to describe. It's very fitting and holds in the tummy. I have a littl shrug for the top and new black hight heel sandals and clutch bag. The dress is kind of satin but in a nice way. It reminds me a bit oriental and the bustier is boned.

Love maxi dresses and oh that makes me think of our lovely Maxy Grin wonder how they are all doing.

I am looking forward to your report. x

nicolamumof3 · 06/08/2010 23:27

ooh dress sounds bloody gorg! Am looking forward to some fb pics tomorrow!

i am feeling v.fat atm so think maxi be good. I think our v.own maxy must be having fabby time as not heard from her lol Grin

basl · 06/08/2010 23:39

I have a lovely maxi dress but a little to dressy for this doo. I would normally go for the cover up but i was surprised to feel ok in this dress. I did the big black belt round the middle to bring in the waist thingy and i am surprised. I am showing off my apple calves mind you. Grin

GeekOfTheWeek · 07/08/2010 11:20

Morning all,

Hopefully picking pram up either later today or tomorrow.

Think fil home at some point today, he has had a stent fitted so no need for surgery.

basl, your outfit sounds gorgeous. Have you got the fake tan etc on?!

Nic, there are some lovely maxi dresses out. I have loads. My fave one is a very simple black jersey strapless one. It looks fab with grecian style accessories, shoes and hair.

basl · 07/08/2010 11:31

ooooohhh Grecian style sounds loverly.
The fack tan is a spray on job later on and sticky on red nails. Shock oh and of course the false hair. Like to look nice and au naturel me lol

Pleased about fil geek Smile
