Ahem!

[PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline]

Where is Olivia?

Is she having the twins?
Is she busy shopping for penis beakers?
Have I just not been paying attention and missed her Ahem-ming all over the place?

I'm sure I haven't seen someone else lately but I don't know who.

Well, she ain't drinking gin .... that's for sure

Ah yes! Pre twinnage I would have just presumed she was off drinking gin but obviously not.

Tis a mystery.

She's still here but not for much longer although hopefully she'll be back

She's working tonight as it happens....

She looks utterly blooming gorgeous too, but do be nice, those twins are rather wiggly.

You made her do Friday night after beakergate?

That's just mean!

Zombie loves your hoverer, Rebecca.

(Zombie still pictures Marilyn Monroe when she sees your name...)

I've promised her brand and banal tonight. Yus, that's Banal..

I hope all those ilk are rabbled out after that webchat.

What webchat? What did I miss?

Yes, Olivia is here, now - she's got her finger hovering over the Red Delete Button as we speak

Linky?

She's deleted it now - nothing spectacular at all, it just looked like a journo looking for free information from anyone minded to answer. The (few) replies were essentially all F-off

But she's talking about Cumberland sausage now - well, after all, she is 'eating for three'

Rebecca are you still here? Because I have a minor yet majorly entitled problem I was going to start a thread about but I don't want to bother the Big O.

Thanks FruOla. I found her after you mentioned Cumberland Sausage.

I'm intrigued by your minor yet majorly entitled problem, Honey.

WESTMORLAND SAUSAGE!!!

I am here
Not for too much longer in an official capacity. But I'll be about and

don't worry, we will update y'all when the twins arrive - hopefully not for a fair while yet (though am 28 weeks and have a fullterm singleton sized bump )

In the meantime please feel free to add your suggestions to my name thread

Honey- mail us, do.

All that searching and I would have found you breaking up a bun fight on a Christmas shopping thread of all places.

I will have a think about twin names. I can only remember 2 sets but their names have gone from my memory. I'm guessing you don't want unmemorable names.

What is all this Westmorland Sausage business?

Sausages are good. As is Westmorland.... any other questions?

Do I need to don a tin hat if I ask the following question:

Are Cumberland and Westmorland sausages the same thing?

a westmorland is slightly more herby/spicy. they both have the same 'girth'

what most people think is a cumberland sausage would now be classed as a westmorland sausage. Both tend to come in 'rings' rather than 'links'

It's ok I can say here and satisfy Pete's curiosity

Erm is anyone in HQ using a signed Mary Berry autobiography as a gin coaster? Only I won it after the web chat and my mum wants to read it.

Oh do visit us Olivia, we will all shamelessly virtually sniff their heads when they arrive

No face over your mat leave either you'll need the rest xx

How much longer do you think you'll be working for Olivia - are we talking days or weeks? Are you OK - other than the sexy waddle?

Breaking up a Christmas Shopping thread? FGS some posters could fall out with themselves in a phone box!

See, I learn new things all the time on Mumsnet. I'd never heard of Westmorland before tonight, let alone knew there was a sausage.

Virtual baby head sniffing.

I will find out about the Mary Berry book but can't check personally as -am too fat to fit in the door at hq exaggerates for comic effect

Couple more weeks and yes holding up but around a bit less as am doing lots of resting up.
Waddle is something else.

Sympathy for the term bump at 28 weeks.
DF (who's twins went to term and were bigger than my singletons) ended up with just one maternity too that fitted.
