Ouch!

OneLittleLady · 17/05/2013 21:51

Oh dear novice I hope your nanny will be ok, sounds really painful and awful for the DC to have been witness to Sad

Hope everyone has fun at the MU, there best be some drinks had in honour of those who can't attend! Smile

libertychick · 17/05/2013 21:55

Oh dear noviceI winced reading that - so, so painful - have they sewn it back on? I ask because I had a very interesting conversation with a doctor I work with the other day who said tips of fingers can grow back - so she shouldn't worry too much if they didn't/couldn't or if sewing it back doesn't work. I had a very bad crush injury to my thumb about 10 years ago and although it took a while it fully recovered - it just looks a bit skinny compared to the other thumb - and at the time they considered amputating my thumb just above the knuckle as it was so badly crushed. My only lasting issue is that I tend to cut my thumb on paper etc a lot as the sensation is not as good as it should be.

BrandyAlexander · 17/05/2013 21:55

Thanks One. Smile

Definitely an ouch moment!

BrandyAlexander · 17/05/2013 21:57

Spot on Liberty. That's exactly what they have told her, that the tip of the finger will grow back. Who knew?!Shock

libertychick · 17/05/2013 22:53

Amazing isn't it - our bodies are incredible things!

LinusDKD · 18/05/2013 05:41

Novice, what a story! I hope your nanny feels better soon and hope the DC are not too upset anymore.

Everyone have fun at the MU tonight. I will be thinking of all of you looking glamourous and having a great time whilst I will watch the Eurovision song contest with my DM. Blush

It is completely her idea as we used to watch it when I was little, she is even getting takeaway pizza to re-create the whole experience. I am indulging her as she doesn't see me very often but I am not looking forward to it.

BrandyAlexander · 18/05/2013 05:47

Morning Linus, well ds has been up screeching for the last hour so it will certainly be a knackered unglam me at the meet up! As our plans have fallen through for tonight, I may well be watching some of Eurovision with youGrin

LinusDKD · 18/05/2013 05:53

Morning Novice! DS has been up since 5 (CET)! Yawn.

DD on the other hand is still happily snoring away. Envy

BrandyAlexander · 18/05/2013 05:59

My dd is sleeping too. And dhEnvy.
If ds had been first he might well have been an only child!Grin 2 years of disturbed sleep is wearing. I have no idea what I am wearing today either! I don't normally like to crawl out of bed till I know.

LinusDKD · 18/05/2013 06:19

DS is the first and even though he slept through the night at 4 months he has always been an early bird.

At home he needs to stay in his bed until 6 but I didn't want to wake up my DP so took him in bed with me at 5 where he wriggled for half an hour and then fell snoozed for 20 minutes.

DH is away on his boys' weekend so he'll be fast asleep after a big night out. Envy

Oh well, at least I won't be the one with the massive hangover.

I think for me it'll be skinnies and my Maison Scotch neon breton today. Again.

But I am wearing the Tod's D Bag I bought last year when pregnant with DD so that makes up for my lack of stylish clothes today.

shopafrolic · 18/05/2013 06:49

Morning all. I have to leave the house at 8.30 for my train. Still unsure what to wear. See you in a bit (weird!) :)

Topazandpearl · 18/05/2013 07:08

Have a lovely day everyone, at the MU or elsewhere x

QueenCadbury · 18/05/2013 07:27

Wish I was coming for a day of drinking. Have fun everyone x

Sleepwhenidie · 18/05/2013 08:25

Hi everyone. I bribed my DC's with the promise of pancakes for breakfast if they sat quietly in front of the tv entertained themselves and let me lie in til 8.30. They were doing really well but DH called at 7.30 Hmm. I was up in the night with DS2 who has a sore throat caught from me. So I'm not too sparkly either, but looking forward to the MUSmile

DH and mates are debating whether to cycle up some mountains, they could get to see the Giro go through a town just over the border but the weather forecast shows 95% chance of snow later, so they could then be stranded! Sounds like a fun weekend huh?!Grin mental.

BrandyAlexander · 18/05/2013 09:25

Oh Sleep, I have a sore throat too, popped some paracetamol and feel better. Dh has offered to stay with the dcs tonight so now I actually have to work out what to wear tonight too. I have just remembered that I bought a dvf dress I haven't worn yet, so that or lace dress. Hope you got your train Shop!

Hopefully · 18/05/2013 09:31

Have a lovely MU everyone!

Have a class today and am enjoying the sunshine through the window. Wearing bright coral belted waterfall cardigan to match the bright weather.

shopafrolic · 18/05/2013 10:07

Made the train, sat in my hairdresser's new salon. Wearing Goldsigns, lace vest and cream AV sweat, pistolalike boots, Mulberry feather scarf and fab new leather jacket which I love. Nervous but in a good way.

MarshaBrady · 18/05/2013 11:33

Had rubbish sleep (they know don't they when there's important people to meet) but am counteracting with coffee. Hopefully won't look too awful! Concentrate on Novice's Balenciaga rather than my (eye) bag Grin.

Ok need to get ready, love the outfit Shop.

AmberNectarine · 18/05/2013 11:45

Bad news guys - I'd agreed ages ago to go to my 10y school reunion with my mate, but as she hadn't mentioned it since I thought I was off the hook. Anyway, she texted me this AM saying 'see you at 11' - turns out she's bought us bloody tickets! So I'm now running mad late and will have to miss MU. Gutted is not the word! Plus my Wang will be wasted on them (it is an all girls school after all..)

So sorry! Take pics and have fun x

AmberNectarine · 18/05/2013 11:47

FWIW am wearing white TS Baxters, purple Wang vest, black leather jacket, black Pistols and red McQueen skull scarf. Carrying Rocco.

Sleepwhenidie · 18/05/2013 12:10

Ah what a shame Amber. Where is the reunion? Can you catch us up later?

Currently throwing clothes around my bedroom choosing what to wear Grin

pickledsiblings · 18/05/2013 12:13

Have a great MU folks, hope the rain stays away. Great jacket Shop. lol at Novice in her New Look to counteract the bling.

BrandyAlexander · 18/05/2013 12:15

Oh that's such a shame Amber!Sad Look forward to meeting you another time. I have even worn a piece of bling just for you!Grin Have a great time, your outfit sounds great. Was looking forward to meeting the Rocco too,

Marsha, I am dutifully clutching the Balenciaga as promised.Smile

shopafrolic · 18/05/2013 12:42

Noooooo Amber! Enjoy the reunion. Another time?
Will change booking to four people and see you all shortly x
