Wow super stuff! I went to a movie night...ie wine and goss sesh with local mums on estate where I live last night, we've all only met over last two years due to the babies and toddlers we have and I started a mummies group, we just take turns to host in each others houses, one morn a week, for toys coffee, biscuits etc, but last night was first night meet so obv with no kids, first time I've been out without mine for ages and ages! Dd2 only 5 mnth so been hemmed in by feeding but she goes to bed same time dd1 now give or take half an hr was obv preggers before that, and I worked part time have zero local fam help before that so we, ie me and dp go it alone, so the escape was ace, I came home at midnight, was only two houses away, but felt refreshed not tired! And had enjoyed a snatch of the old me! I felt like me not mummy, I love bein sahm but time to self is vital, last nightbwill keep me going ages, till whenever nxt one on. I love time to self eves when girls in bed but getting out house away from jobs and sofa is the tonic. Red wine and crisps also superb part of the occasion.

So glad some of you gave yourselves gifts yesterday

When I got into work yesterday there were some old friends waiting for me very excited and 12 weeks pregnant.We had lots of lovely pram chat and they went away with a long list of prams to google Xmas Grin

I have ds1 staying with me at the moment and his gf is driving me nuts.She constantly rings my home phone to scream and hurl abuse at him.I have had my phone pulled out of the socket since yesterday morning!! (hence the fb status)

Anyway off to check the weather forecast now,have a lovely day lovely ladies.Give yourself a gift!!

Probably a bit late but hope you have an amazing time basl.

Am a bit disappointed that there is not more snow now.
No news on Nipper colection and seller hasn't replied to email. Xmas Sad

maxybrown · 18/12/2010 20:08

nicolamumof3 · 18/12/2010 20:16

i bet she is, cannot wait to hear all about it.

haven't seen your seller online dunoon, hope its collected for you too. Would have been handy in snow. I thought we were going to get more tonight but doesn't look like it now. im not hoping for anymore as my parents need to drive over tomorrow as taking the two little ones to panto tomorrow evening.

mummyistheword · 18/12/2010 21:35

Basl haircut brill.......I went for chop recently and felt super, it's still looking good, was daring and had a trendy crop, took years off me, am only 31 but was losing the funkiness! No more snow here, just bitter cold, heating bills will be horrific I'm sure! Still fingers crossed buzz sells, auction still got few days on it though, itching to order my dash but now thinkn may wait to order it till after nxt wend when sales on in case bargains to be had, assuming buzz sells that is as I need cash from that for this particular pram upgrade! Arrrgh, we will see. In bed early tonight for a change, lovely. Night all.

horsemadgal · 18/12/2010 23:03

Oo bet basl is having a fabby time. Too scary for me that though.

mummy, the VAT is going up in Jan so maybe best getting before then. But then if there's a good sale, who knows?

Just a we bit more snow here today, still loads of ice everywhere gah!

Dunoon · 19/12/2010 14:06

Basl come here and tell all ooooooooooooh!

Xmas Grin

Just been into town centre and it's very quiet. Found nothing I wanted to buy and the two definites I needed I couldn't get either so a right waste of time.

basl · 19/12/2010 15:38

Flyme your wish is my command!!!!!

Well what can i say. What a fantastic night i had. I have still on cloud nine [wine induced] now. Everyone turned up and more. I bought new high heel boots, wore hold me in leggings and funky dress, had my hair cut and love it.

I was so happy i can not express. I felt very special and i got my message.

I will try and give the need to knows.

Suppose to have a card reading but the girl asked if i would mind not having it as she was being overwhelmed by a message she had to give me from a young lady with the initial L!!! Well my sister was called linda.

The was crying giving me my message and telling me i am a lovely soul which made me cry lol. Linda strokes my hair at night as she is worried about me. "get your relationship sorted" she slapped her hand on the table. "He is a good man a wonderful father" Stop feeling so persecuted and open your eyes to what you have. Get over this depression and start living again and your husband will love you once more"
Well feck me i was astonished. She said loads. My gran came to me also and i felt so warm and happy.
My mum got the best reading ever!!!
The heating in the hall went off and everyone compaling how cold it was but i couldn't care. Funny thing is when the spooky folk left the heating came back on.

I bought a bracelet for my self [gift lillypie] and it is gorgeous sort of pewter colour and huge chunky roses. The company are called second sight and there logo thingy is a rose. The lady could not believe it and showed me a pic of the rose and it was identical.

I have a guardian angel!! and she explained nice things happen to me when i am distressed to pay attention as linda has assigned an ARC Angel of the tallest order to protect me.

Bubbling now so i will be back on in a wee bit.
Love you all xx

maxybrown · 19/12/2010 16:03

nicolamumof3 · 19/12/2010 16:51

basl · 20/12/2010 08:58

How is everyone feeling today?? Very cold and snowy here today. Gave my UD to a wee girl that lives across the road from me. She is only about 21 and has a one year old. Trying to bump her koochi stroller of this snow. she is over the moon with it and did not know you could get prams with air tyres.
Wrote her down the mumsnet web address Grin

Awww basl you're a star Xmas Grin
Are you gonna just keep bashing out your door with BJ now then?

nicolamumof3 · 20/12/2010 10:32

aww basl you little sweetie, that was so kind.

just been out dropped boys at creche so just left with tom now. He seems a bit run down..(he's been at dads for four days Hmm)

luka's xmas outfit from ebay arrived some im happy now just could really do with a couple of pairs of cords but cannot find any in size

basl · 20/12/2010 11:08

The post is terrible here ladies. Waiting on a picture calandar. I do a black poster size one for kids Grandad. They look stunning i have to say.

Yes HMG i am going to bash on with the Classic. It's such a good pram. No really been out on foot tho with Daniel much lately as you can hardly keep you feet.

Oh i forgot to mention i have a lovely black eye.
I slipped on Sat night [could have put my life savings if i had any on it] and wacked my eye on one of those bollard thingy's in car park. Looks like i have left my make up on from the weekend. Not very pretty Xmas Grin

I am off now till after christmas whooooo hoooo so feeling rather festive.

I will keep telling wee bits about my reading if you don't mind.

She said linda was delighted i insisted on a piece of jewelry being returned to it's owner. Well my mum gave my sister her eternity ring when she was young as it no longer fitted and linda loved it. My mum was most upset about that as most things lost or put out when she died as my mum didn't feel it her place to do the sorting out. I asked and asked and asked about it till my brother n law's mum let me go to the house and hunt for it. I found it and returned it to my mum.
Oopps bubbling again and will be back soon xx

I think its so lovely you had this for your Birthday Basl, hopefully sending you in the right direction for 2011?

Keep meaning to ask what are your plans for xmas do you see much of your nephews? Am often thinking of them.

I didn't know what to do about your card with the post. Meant to send it last week recorded. But its in my bag, sending something with it, i hope it gets there but don't think i've forgotten you!

Right had a mad tidy up almost time to collect my boys now from creche.

all got left to do this afternoon is some more dusting, and the ironing and im done...oh the floors upstairs i should do as well but they can wait i think. Got wrapping to do tonight as well. Right must get going. Anyone had trouble with ebay this morning? Wanted to go on and leave some FB but can't get on it?

basl · 20/12/2010 11:45

Awww nicola you never forget about me Xmas Smile thankyou xx

We are going to mums this year. She is doing everything as she has not been able to face it for few years.

I see my nephews all the time nicola but they have not been invited to there dads brothers this year so speaks volumes really. Ben said he was dreading christmas day at his house as his dad and girlfriend can't cook and will just get drunk.
We have booked Taxi's so they can come to ours for a party after dinner. So we are all heading to mine after dinner. Going to plate them up a sneaky wee dinner

Dunoon · 20/12/2010 12:40

Ah basl, amazing. Thank you for sharing that. I'm so glad you had a wonderful time.

I am perhaps a tad hormonal and in a slight rage so am channelling it into clearing stuff out and having a pre christmas tidy up. Obviously I have hit a slight hiatus at the minute as am sat down MNing Xmas Grin

Two youngest are painting downstairs on their own so really must go and see how they are getting on.

basl · 20/12/2010 12:57

Flyme nothing better than a pre christmas clear outXmas Grin rage is good for tidying but i hope your ok. Hormones are evil eh? why do we have to suffer such things.

Hope your snacking on something tasty. One of the spooks has never seen stovies before Xmas Shock he was sat talking to me and he said he thought it was funny i put porridge on for my buffet. I was in stitches and explained it was stovies [Hot tatties mashed with mince n sausage] He tried some and loved it. He was rather dishy i have to say Xmas Blush
