**Weekend Chat Thread*12th Oct 08**

Morning all

Definition of huff - a state of irritation and annoyance:rotfl:

Thats what I went to bed in. I took my laptop and fell asleep before it had come out of hibernation so no chat for me last night!

Lets have a lively chat this weekend...Lou lou - i hope OH slept okay - as others have said sometimes the worst things in life turn out to be the best, I can certainly vouch for that - it doesn't make it any easier to get through at the time though...

Bun - you okay - get back on that wii - set it to rumble while scott is away and I would NOT book him a flight (cos I think it would be funny for him to be sick all the way home)

Toto - stay off the walls you silly mare!

Zed - are you feeling any better.....

Snags - I think the endorphins have sent your hormones into freefall!

Just off to look for a new toothbrush:rotfl:

    good morning

    I'll try to find the thread form yesterday so I can catch up cos I didn't get chance to get on the computer last night.

    Lou - these things do have a way of working out for the best.

    Wayne and I went to see his mother yesterday and told her that the doctor is 70% certain our baby is... a little girl. Even better when I told her I'd be going back to work when baby is 9months old she said she'd love to baby sit. The only down sides a) she's not in the best of health and b) she smokes. A LOT to think about here.

    On Thursday at the scan Wayne tutted when we were told what the Doctor thinks it is but now he's all 'my little princess this...' and 'my little princess that...' He just tuts at me when I tell him to shush cos he'll make the baby jealous ;)

    Welcome Finance are sending Wayne a letter with a settlement figure in, so when it arrives I expect I'll be doing some serious number crunching and pay it off in full. I can always use some money that's tied up in the mortgage offset account and replace it later... hopefully:o

    It's amazing, I didn't think we'd get debt free till November 2009 and so planned to have a baby in 2010 when finances would be more relaxed, but it's like I'm moving mountains to get us debt free much sooner.

    Hope everyone has a good day and there aren't too many people nursing hangovers.

    Morning Sammy - hope you enjoyed your sleep!

    Well I had an embarrassing start to the morning. Was walking down the stairs this morning at 7 to get DS a nappy - cos I was only planning on quickly nipping into the kitchen I didnt put any clothes on. Just as I got to the bottom step the postie knocked on the door! So theres me in the knack about 3 metres away from postie - quickly ran past door threw some of OH clothes on and opened the door as nonchantly as I could. Needless to say there was no eye contact this morning!

    That'll teach me anyway! x x

    I normall get up and walk 3 paces to the computer and sit nekkid at it on a Saturday morning. Today I was a mite chilly so put my dressing gown on. I knew someone was at the door cos the cats started jumping about and there was my postie. It isn't the first time I've got downstairs and had to throw on an overcoat to cover my modesty:cool:

    oooh lovely - a little girl cat...

    I did enjoy my sleep thank pingu! I am getting a little confused with the dark mornings, and I fell down stairs this morning - maybe switching the light on would have been a good idea!:rotfl:

    At least I didn't give the postie an eyeful LOL!
