Yes hmg it is Festival city. It is incredible how busy it was but so good. We never seen a proper show but watched all the street performers for Lauren. My sister lived in Edinburgh for years and always went to the fringe and she was reminiscing. Really good atmosphere and there was a sing song on the go on the train home and it was not young ones either. So funny to see everyone worse for wear staggering on the train.

Flyme i know you do but hey i would love to live where you are too. I do like the sound of that sand pit at the park lol. Edinburgh is not too far and don't wait for your friends to invite you. I would not hesitate if you fancied a little liquid lunch in Tigerliy Grin I would meet up with you anytime. x

nicolamumof3 · 14/08/2010 22:26

sounds fab basl! glad you had a lovely day. I feel quite lonely atm. Hate dh and his bloody w/end working. Never get invited anywhere at w/ends as everyone with their own families...

SLAP..thats better Grin

was just chatting to diva earlier about meet up must be arranged once these kids are back at school are we are a bit free-er.

I have my op apt through to have coil removed and endoscopy at hosptial under gen.anaesthetic..1st sept, so not long to wait.

horsemadgal · 14/08/2010 22:27

Ahh looking at Facebook looks like my brother was there today. Lucky sod!

horsemadgal · 14/08/2010 22:27

Glad you finally got a date Nicola, not too long now.

carrielou2007 · 14/08/2010 22:29

Thanks Nicola, aiming for a size 10 now, not been a size ten for about 5 years Blush so at least when I finish feeding ds and am able to have a little drinkie and put a bit of weight on a size 12 is still ok.

Sounds lovely basl Smile you do sound nice and relaxed, you're doing well with your driving too. Hope you don't trip over when you see your dh and accidently clip the back of his head Grin just cough on the way past, he won't notice if he's pissed!!

Meet-up!!! We said august and it is august!!!

basl · 14/08/2010 22:35

Nicola i must tell you. I was playing with my new phone on the train and i shouted out i had an email. So we all looked at it and read it and we all went Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww really loud when you were saying that about never going anywhere at weekends. My sister and I were talking about how lucky we are in away to have each other but I was also telling her about how nice it is where you live and yes your dh works very long ours but is adorable to you and dc. So i suppose it swings and roundabouts. What one person has always would like what the other one has iykwm. Smile

Oh and thats good you have a date for your op now. xx

Oh maybe i saw him HMG and never knew it. How did he get on?

Divatheshopaholic · 14/08/2010 22:37

Carrie, thats great weight loss. I have been really good this summer, and i lost little bit of weight. Not a lot, but im pleased, i want to carry on loosingWink

Basl, sounds like you had fabby time, I have never been festival or concert in the UK Envy

We got to meet up. Im up to pyjama party with wine and giggles.Grin

nicolamumof3 · 14/08/2010 22:46

pj party sounds spot on....so where when? mmmh whos's going to be in charge of organising?

And thank you basl im just being silly feeling sorry for myself. Its the very reason my dh is so bloody lovely that i miss our w/ends together esp as a family.

carrielou i was a 10 when i met dh 5yrs ago..a 14 now!

basl · 14/08/2010 22:55

lol carrie don't worry i have a better plan. I am going to get the last of the uniform for Olivia tomorrow so he will have to get up and look after Daniel again. He thinks he is up for a long lie in. Haaa Haaa. Still not home and i be my mum is desperate to get rid of them. lol
Your weight loss is fantastic carrie and i am so Angry at myself for not sticking better to the SW. WW is not for me so back to SW what a carry on eh?

I do seem a bit calmer for some reason Hmm i had a formal interview at work on Thursday with my boss and another manager and someone taking notes and she kept saying she could not believe the difference in me since she came to my house a while back. I think i am still a worrier for nothing kind of person but don't know just trying to accept things as they are.

Why don't we all say when suits and when does not. It is hard to get it all arranged.

basl · 14/08/2010 23:05

OMG my mum has just asked me to be her friend on Face book. Shock It's all my sisters doing as she is still there suffering the boys on Malt whisky now and she will be the chauffeur i presume. I dread to think what my mum is going to put on Facebook.

5inthebed · 14/08/2010 23:09

Eveining ladies. I amvery drunk. Had a ovely time at my friend wedding and drank lots of wine.

horsemadgal · 14/08/2010 23:10

Not spoken to him but appears from facebook he had good time.
You may well have seen him. I assume he was with his work so would have had huge camera with him. If you buy an Evening Times tomorrow you'll probably see his pics!

basl · 14/08/2010 23:12

Ohhh hmg he sounds rather important!!! Evening Times Wow. Maybe i did then lol.

5in told you the wine would get you in the mood lol. Great night then? Lots of dancing or lots of sitting and drinking Grin

horsemadgal · 15/08/2010 00:02

Only in his own head he is basl. LOL!

basl · 15/08/2010 00:49

Aww does he like to go on about it then? I take it he is a photographer for them? I bet he gets invited to all sorts of exciting things.

horsemadgal · 15/08/2010 07:58

Ach he's not that bad. But he does most of the rock/pop concerts which he loves and football matches which he hates!

nicolamumof3 · 15/08/2010 08:44

morning all, not great here this morning, dull and grey dh left for work 7.30am! feel like haven't seen him in ages Sad he didn't get in til 11pm i was in bed.

oooh i think the sun may be coming out lol!

basl · 15/08/2010 09:33

Morning nicola do you have maxy's number as i lost it again Blush or if you would rather pass on mine to her? that would be great.

Wow your dh is working very long hours. I keep meaning to ask. Is he a chef in his own restaurant? Why such long hours does he have to travel to get there?

It's really hard having the kids all the time with no break that's why i am learning to grab every opportunity when it arrives.

Looking all dull and overcast here today also. No two days the same.

Oh hMG very rock n roll that job sounds.Grin

nicolamumof3 · 15/08/2010 10:12

yes i have it, did you get my text? just wondered if i got the no. right?

he works for himself if it is busy where he's working ie functions etc then he has to do the hours its all money tho at the end of the day. I just feel a little low today. He's only one there too! So mega busy.

basl · 15/08/2010 12:25

yes nicola i got the text Grin still trying to work the actual calls and text thing out. Got the camera sorted first and the internet. lol

I hope the weather is better your way today and you can get out and go somewhere. Hope your feeling a bit better.

nicolamumof3 · 15/08/2010 14:41

Afternoon all, we went to pizza express for lunch which was nice and just been to park not for too long tho as it was cold and i hadn't taken jumpers. Still feeling sorry for myself and lonely Sad cow aren't i !!!

5inthebed · 15/08/2010 15:01

Aww Nicola, I know how you feel, DH worked 6 days on the trot this week and wasn't getting home until 6ish. It's a lon day by yourself with three boys. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Been to my mams for a roast pork dinner. Yum! Just the think I needed after a night out drinking yummy rose wine.

basl · 15/08/2010 15:16

Oh 5in your mams roast pork sounds delicious. Can't beat a roast dinner yummy yummy.

Nicola don't call yourself that Shock it is completely reasonable to feel sorry for yourself and feel lonely. Is it your dh company you miss the most? as i know you have plenty of friends about. Where does your parents live? How did your massage go btw i bet that was bliss.

My sister goes in for her op tomorrow so she is craming as much stuff in as possible before she will be out of action. She has taken my kids her kids and our nephews to the deer park. Not enough room for me but she was more than happy and then to mums for BBQ as it is scorching here again. Real paddling pool weather. Busy Busy day here clearing up the back garden and putting away the furniture for another year. Cut the grass and doing some washing.

nicolamumof3 · 15/08/2010 15:27
