I am quite happy to work in silence though just me and thoughts did the food shopping list too Grin

starsandunicorns · 26/03/2013 14:14

Nice to see that dc1 is home from uni midwife. Have a good leave

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 26/03/2013 15:12

erm...themidwife, how many children do you have? I think I've counted 6!

I'm on my knees and not in a good way Grin

Even if she goes to sleep Ive still got to make this blasted hat and Ive got her godfather coming for tea. He's vegetarian so I'm doing two seperate Thai green curries from scratch. (don't have enough quorn for us all to have vegetarian)

Why won't she sleep Sad

sob

mini that is so crap. Evidently this is progress. Ive had online prescription failure before too. Shoddy. Poor lumpy, sneezy mini (sounds like 3 of the 7 dwarves- hey, we've got doc too Grin and I can be bashfulHmm )

Has she gone off yet kitty? 7 dwarves gotta include grumpy. Re hat. Perhaps Rips could send you the kidney, elastic under chin. Job done.

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 26/03/2013 16:11

Oh mini that's the best idea Grin.
She went off for a matter of minutes. I picked up my needle and some green felt and started to make a frill and she started sobbing. She's currently dozing on the boob and sobbing slightly. This hat is not going to be finished for tomorrow Sad. It's such a shame because she loves hats, I love making things and I know exactly how it would look if only I was able to do it.

I've been trying to do this for the last two weeks and kept getting scuppered.

I think right now I'd make a perfect 'grumpy'.

Midwife99 · 26/03/2013 16:46

Oh ha ha I have 4 children, 2 boys, 2 girls Smile

starsandunicorns · 26/03/2013 17:54

Oh no Kitty poor you ref hat bet she love it anyway
ref Grumpy name could this be interchangeable ( hell that was a big word from me !) Grin depending on how ones feels due to non sleep though think you should have it kitty.

Think Summerdad should get sleepy at minute as hes not been on this thread yet Smile

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 26/03/2013 20:24

green curry!? oh kitty

mrsshrek- QC hahahahaaa hollow laugh, I used to work with some top QCs, alas, I never appreciated the position I was in at the time, I just wanted outta there. Now I look back and think, wow I was lucky. eherm, one day that would be awesome, but I'd be super old by then. I'd need one shedload of botox, but then my advocacy would fail as I would be unable to speak

themidwife I too counted 6 Grin

stars, yay for job!

bluey glad you enjoyed yoga. I am usually a bit addicted to ashtanga yoga and extreme upside downy pilates, but I have only been about 4 times since Christmas Shock combination of work, work, work, then chocolate overload. I know I would feel better if I went back, but not done this yet

I am, back in the library, with some coke - cocacola- (coffee shop shut before I could get a cappuccino) with the main aim of covering an ENTIRE LAW SYLLABUS in one night

so far, I am on 'slide 33' out of 675 combined powerpoints. I have lost the ability to read books and have a clue what is going on. I also have to start my research project. sigh.

Not a bad thing though, as I have to be awake at night all weekend as working nights again so may as well start readjusting..!

cafecito · 26/03/2013 23:26

how goes bonnet? can you make it artfully dishevelled? with holes for the spring if you run out of time?

Don't listen to me. I fail even at sewing on buttons.

I am not very domesticated Blush

starsandunicorns · 27/03/2013 00:01

I got to push the post trolley i have named him Tim anyway off to bed up early hope you are well cafe

Hugs to all

cafecito · 27/03/2013 00:24

I hope KittyBitty is asleep and not quacking

Tim the post trolley?! Grin goodnight stars!

jynier · 27/03/2013 00:40

Is SummerDad fed up with the thread?

BlueyDragon · 27/03/2013 00:51

cafe, are you "just" covering the core modules? Tort: snails in ginger beer. Contract: lots of stevedores. Land and trusts: no-one else really understands it either. Crime: shunned by real (for which read actually get paid) lawyers but in reality is the most fun and you can catch almost anything under the Fraud Act. Can't remember the other core modules. Three years of study in four lines Grin.

I'm awake not because DS is poorly, although he is proper poorly, but because I have been out gallivanting with some old school friends. Some I hadn't seen for over 20 years, yet no-one seemed to have changed much. It was lovely!

jynier · 27/03/2013 01:47

Hi to anyone who is still awake!

Am a night sky enthusiast and have been gazing at the full moon over the village; it's beautiful!

Was thinking about the Super Moon of 2 years ago; my little bro was able to see it from his skyscraper hospital bed - it was reflected in an opposite window.

He laughed so much when I told him of all my efforts to take a good photo; I went down the road, climbed over a 5-barred gate, walked gingerly through a field covered in rabbit shite ... !

It's my darling bro's anniversary today.

cafecito · 27/03/2013 01:52

oh gallivanting is always good Bluey- no not those modules I'm afraid (although a dash of trusts is required). PMSL at snails and stevedores, that's about all I remember - and the guy who climbed in the girl's window for sex and she claimed to not know it wasn't her boyfriend Confused Thank goodness I have forgotten don't need to redo those.

In depth stuff of an overly stuffed syllabus. The plan to cover it all in one night has failed, as I have nearly run out of colour coded paper Grin I use different colour paper for different things so my brain scrambles them less. pink = international law, green = random statutory provisions yellow = anatomy cream = waffly stuff squared = pharmacology Confused

MrsShrek3 · 27/03/2013 01:53

hi Jynier Smile
still stargazing?

DH is nattering and neither of us are tired.... how are you all doing?

MrsShrek3 · 27/03/2013 01:54

hi cafe, x post

cafecito · 27/03/2013 01:54

I remember a crime exam, where I forgot all the case names, and made my handwriting reeeeally scruffy, and kept writing illegibly R v Roberts

that was not a good exam - still managed to pass it though Hmm and contract, was not good either- I only answered 2 of 4 compulsory questions. I sat there staring into space for over an hour at the start, and left my pencil case on the tube

cafecito · 27/03/2013 01:57

Oh jynier- just read today is your dbro's anniversary Sad Thanks [virtual embrace] all these anniversaries one after the other, you must feel like you've been repeatedly hit by an express train. Thinking of you.

Yes I love night skies but can't see very clearly in London. I love nighttime generally. Everything is pretty- I used to go for long walks around London (er about 10 years ago) at around 2am and everything was so prettily lit up, westminster, the RCJ, the riverfront. I also like walking on the beach at night, very relaxing if a little unsafe

Hi mrsshrek!!

jynier · 27/03/2013 02:32

Thank you for being so kind.

jynier · 27/03/2013 04:16

The full moon is AMAZING now; absolutely beautiful!!!

We have no light pollution here in the village, cafe, so we are blessed with being able to see everything in the night sky. See all the meteor showers, etc.

Equally, I love the lights in London; no longer visit very often but my son lives near the South Bank and am always delighted by the "fairytale" sight of the historic buildings and everything along the Thames at night!

cafecito · 27/03/2013 04:32

Oh wow meteor showers? I love a clear night sky. I can't see the moon from here Shock

I am wide awake, but not being very productive- ditching law due to lack of paper, had a really yucky coffee from the naff machine next to the library, feel a bit ill and need a shower Grin nice.. moving on now to some haematology- I have wasted some time downloading new songs so doing a strange dr cafe library dance while writing

jynier · 27/03/2013 04:49

cafe - Fear that your studying is not going too well as peeps (me!) are interrupting you!

Just had another long gaze at the moon; it's beautiful! Shame that you can't see it!

Hope that all is well with everyone!
