November Remember the Pushchair shed is HERE!!!!

[basl]

Oh i am so please we have left that old thread. Was a strange one but i feel hopefull that some old and new friends will come on for a chatt.

the 5pm nest time eh? Oh gawd, it can only get worse from here you know - she'll have sent us all potty by the time the babaling arrives (for good measure)

Well I have fineally got my dvd drive working after fining two 2p's in it wonder who that could have been?

see, all my words are wonky now

Eek, it must be catching!

Just the sodding iPhone spellcheck

ha ha ha ha. Crikey hope that part's not catching!

So, girlies. A little story/question for you.

I sent a message to someone on FB yesterday. I am not friends on FB with this person, but we used to be friends in RL. We lived together and worked together for a long time.

She is a bit of a strange one but heart in the right place iywim? But once friends she is the sort that rings you EVERY single night and struggles to realise that that's not always apppropriate and has no idea of personal space etc.

Anyway long story short, almost 4 years ago she was ringing me ALL the time, constantly and at the time my nephew had been taken ill into hospital, we weren't in much and she left a trillion messages and in the end I sent her a bit if a shirty text and said about nephew ad she said well I didn't know that, and I said exactly, you can't always presume it is because of you or all about you. I then asked her not to ring me now as we are going to bed, very tired etc etc. Then she rings anyway, but I don't answer because she can be very needy and i just couldn't do it then. I was also 3 months pregnant so prob not the most tolerable anyway. But I had also had this going on for a few years and I guess it just reached boiling point.

But I have never heard form her since and that's been it, but I don;t dislike her, she's a PITA but is deep down a lovely person who finds it hard to get things sometimes. She is a single girl at 37 (but seems bit more like early twenties in way she acts) and has been most of her life.

So, I send her a message as always ask my other friend about her and it was recently her birthday so just wished her a belated happy birthday and to let her know I'd been thinking of her. She has just replied saying thank you but curious to know why I am now after all this time thinking of her. don't kow what to say, just figured life is too short and it was just a nonsense thing that happened anyway that she took very very personally.............sigh, sorry for going on. Turned oout to be a bit long in the end

Nicola, there is a website for Iphone spell check fails. It's really funny, DHs's Iphone makes the most hilarious words.

It was me asking about the baby bags carrielou...! Wow you have had loads! I've a had only about 3 pink lining and a storksak and a babymel but no others..yet, also my pink linings were all thebtote style but am eyeing up currently their weekend one but to use day to day as seem to have loads stuff to cart about, I like to take a little pack lunch for dd1 and will soon have weaning stuff for dd2 ..it's way cheaper to take food, I'd spend a fortune in cafes otherwise and I hate having seperate bags food, nappies etc as I always always forget something either leave it in house, car or said cafe.....just want shove it all in one bag and run....wishful thinking that one can pop out anywhere with two under threes...more a mini mission than a pop out to places nowadays though! So....I'm thinking the pink l weekend bag would fit all the stuff and have room to rummage rather than just wedge it all in and have stuff fall out when you want one important thing . Pink l website hav weekend bag reduced... Am tempted....Finally someones emailed me about a p and t locally I can view so must look into that, Have put the buzz up for sale on local mummy website to see if any takers, would go on wider sale auction but feel bait guilty doing that when only had it 5 mins and I sort of do like it......think answer to have a p and t as well then get rid one or the other in a few months when dd2 bigger and ready for lightweight buggy. Anyway will let you know eventual outcome.....oh yes ment to say got a gorgeous bumper bar taggy thingy from pramaholic.com for a tenner, think I saw link to it on mn ages ago and finally remembered it.

Gosh, did I bore you all that much?

Mummy, were in NE do you live? I am NE as well, Newcastle.

I loved my Buzz, wish I'd kept it longer tbh. But you know how it is, so many prams , too little time.

I was looking at a stokke in Teso today, Ds2 had giggled and commented on how funny it looked. Was talking to lass on till about it and was that I knew so much about it, even though never had one.

Aww maxy, just tell her life's too short, can we start afresh or something like that.
That's if you want to be part of her life again obviously!

yeah thanks HMG

Sorry Maxy, must have x posted with you.

I'd just tell her that I always think of her on her birthday, and that despite the "little spat" you had a few years ago, that you would still like to be friend with her. If she emails you back about what you said years ago, then tell her that everyone has their own personallives and that at the time you couldn't give her the attention she needed as you had a lot going on at the time, and still do.

I've got a very needy friend atm, and I hate the act she only contacts me when she needs advice, but what can you do. I just wish she would ask me how I was for once instead of going off on one about how hard her life is, even though she had made it so.

oh my that's me just in from work and it has been snowing so bad here. I am shattered.com and never stopped today. I have been trying to plan a spooky night for my birthday and it's been like a bloody telephone exchange with people saying don't do this and don't do that and change the day and no i won't it on this day. nothing simple with me.

Speaking of iphone misspelling i had to type up a long report to a department at work last night and had my manager check it. I typed that i had worked a full shit that i should not have done. Instead of a full shift. Oh that was rather embarrassing. but my lovely friend from your part of the work 5in made me laugh about it all night.

Maxy your so like me mulling over things that other people would just dismiss. I think what 5in said is spot on. The girls feelings where obviously hurt but you could not have put up with that any longer.

Daniel goes to playgroup in Jan then school nursery in August. He will love play group and to be honest i am not too fussed about what he learns as such. I just want him to have fun and PLAY!!! lots of the mums having a fit about the lack of teaching but it's surely somewhere for them to get used to being a little independent and play??? However i would never send him if i knew like your one Maxy it was shite

Off to bed now with a very sore throat and feeling oh so miserable but had a lovely day with my mum. ]

Night night xx

I can see a sprinkling of snow on the High Street but won't know how much we got till I venture out to work in a few mins time. Hoping my parents avoid the snow on their way up today!

Morning all, i'd explain to your friend Maxy that at the time, life was extremely stressful and you were just stretched to the max so sorry things went 'off' hopefully she will understand if not then...move on i guess. It is hard. You may remember i fell out with a very good friend over 18m ago now about her wedding. I still think how she is doing and her three boys. We were friends for such a long time.

basl you do what you want for your bday hunnie, its you day, your time.

Whats everyone up to this weekend? we have busy one. Have some of my family over and we are going to pizza express for lunch today. Then Tate has party at 3pm. Tomorrow Terry has his friend over and his family so doing big sunday lunch yum yum. Then we have xmas festival at 4pm, parade and switch on of lights followed by fireworks. Tommy is dancy at the festival too so will be great. Very dark and very cold here this morning. Getting Terry to do fire before work!!

Morning!!!

Snow here,took the swift out in your honour last night basl it is fab fab fab, urban would be betterfor snow but as an everyday buggy it is just the perfect size, not too big, sturdy but so light to push, perfect around the supermarket etc. Dd wanted us to go out in the snow and was so excited ad ds kept shouting at the snowflakes

Maxy spot on what 5inthebed said, if she takes it to heart it shows how selfish/self centered she is I think? MY friend (my nail lady) fell over and broke her ankle. She lives about 6 miles from us in the next village and asked if I could come over to help her cooking, cleaning, get her food shopping etc. I said I'm really sorry but I just don't have time, I work 3 days a week, walk dd to playgroup each morning and back again plus my own shopping, cleaning etc to drive over each afternoon. She was really taken aback as she said but you don't do anything on the other days surely She also said it must have been lovely having 7 months off work when I was on maternity leave .

Mummy my bag is full to brimming, nappies, wipes, change mat, sacks, spare pants for dd, spare vest and clothes for ds, my purse, keys, phone, tissues, lipgloss, drink for dd and ds, snacks for us all so 3 apples, bananas, pears etc, yoghurt for ds if get caught out for lunch etc. I swappedmy bag over yesterday to pu ont he swift and was so heavy as I had 5 apples inside!! I trvel light it is the fruit that weighs a ton for me. Plus in this weather spare gloves as they always get lost!!

We only have preschool here the sept before they start all others start after their 3rd birthday, there is no starting at 2 or 2.5 here at all then funded term after 3rd birthday. Hard as dd was itching for it buthad to wait until she was 3 and she loves it.

at your work report basl

Morning!!! Nicola what a fantastic weekend you have a head of you. Sounds bloody great. So glad your feeling better now to enjoy it and give your lovely hub a big hug from me and say "Do you know that nutter on FB i talk to well she thinks your fabbydoo"

Gooo Tom and bust some moves lad !!!

Carrie the swift!!!! tis good then but not so good for snow oh dear that was what i needed it for

Acht well not too bothered haaa haaa. Seen an urban detour which is very narrow for £40.00 and thought ohhh wonder if that would do me for winter.

Carrie i am sitting with gob open wide at your friend?? suggesting that of you. Some people have no bloody idea have they. How selfish is that and doesn't she know that any spare min you have you have to and i repeat HAVE to spend it with US!!! xxxx

Morning, thank you all - I knew you would all make me feel better and give some positive advice. She got back to me and said fair enough, and that she didn't know what to say as we hadn't spoken for so long anyway I have replied and see what happens.

Had scattering of snow here tooo, in the words of James "wow wee"!! Though the sky has suddenly gone very thick white!

Not sure what I'm up to. Matthew said to leave James with him if I wanted to go Christmas shopping, not sure I can be bothered though - typical!

Basl, you will never please everyone so do what you want and those who can will do it too. Oh and no I agree, I don't care at this age what they teach - I just want a half decent level of basic interest and care - oh and some half decent kids to play with. The woman whose house i went to the other day (a woman I met from toddlers) she works there - used to full time but now just as and when as she has her own little boy and dhe says it's naff!!

Oh Carrielou - some people eh? You know you have NOTHING to do when you are not working

Oh what to do........what to do...........Basl i am catching indeciveness

Anyone want my classic?

ooh basl no it is brilliant in the snow, just meant the urban being bigger is perfect for now but just too big for everyday, in the shops etc swift was fab!!! I left the wheel on swivel until dd wanted to go on the grass/playing fields so fixed it, just so so light to push even with bag of pots, bag of onions, 2 tins baked beans, bnch of bananas, a cauli, brocoli, loaf of bread, choc pennies and packet of biscuits,with raincover on (fab raincover) and bag on the back.

M friend actutally emailed me a shopping list and asked if I could drop it in to her on my way home from work and was when I said no I have to get back to get kids from CM. On my non work days she said why don't I drive dd to playgroup and back rather than half hour walk there, half hour back same to pick her up and I said we like o walk it suits us thanks . Her sister lives in same village and has 2 children but can't help.

She's very much 'woe is me' it's your foot, you can order food online what's stopping you ironing/cleaning etc?? I am a bit hard sometimes, she told me she was back working and I said lovely, glad to hear it for you and that was wrong as she's not sure 'how she'll work up to it yet' bloody get over yourself and get on with it is what I wanted to say!!

ah bless Tom Nicola, saw that on your FB

dd wanted to pose in the swift for you basl, pic on my profile

Cheeky Mare she is Carrie lol

Maxy lol i know what you mean. Does seem a weeny bit odd to sell classic to get mine eh?? Well the offer still there just you let me know what ever suits you xxxx

Daniel has been at my sisters since 11.30am yesterday. She has him in the afternoon but let him have a sleepover as i was working and kenny in Aberdeen. She called and said he only cried once in the night for Mummy and said peez petty peez a mummy bed and my sister asked him if he wanted in her bed and he said no it ok and slept till 8am. The wee actor i tell you. happy as larry playing with his big cousins. Olivia lying on the couch like lady muck with the remote and her silk pj's and snacks enjoying not watching Toystory for the 1000000 time lol

nah it's not odd Basl - nothing odd in pram world

carrieloe I agree wholeheartedly!!

Gah I'm being really lazy not even dressed anyway off i go!!

oh me neither but i am telling myself i deserve not to be in at 1am and up at 7.30am so i am having a pj day.

Maxy you are so right there just trying to make you feel better. You are talking to the lady who buys hoods for prams she doesn't even have!!! and a footmuff for a pram she doesn't have yet so there you go.

You coming to my spook night
