Hi,

Hope everyone is well and welcome newbies/returners. Sorry for the late post but have been busy today. I've done lots of errands and spent time with my friend

HAS ANYONE GOT.......

A small pink creature that fits in fleecy all in one pj's size 2-3?????

I don't want one but I have the pj's going begging... some have rabbit nibbles but all are warm...

Not sure if anyone else has got there first but I do!!!! DD2 will be 2 next month and she is in need of PJ's. She also needs all in one's cos she strips off in the night otherwise!!!!!:rotfl:We've gone into her numerous times to find bottoms off, top off and 1 arm out of her bodysuit so its across her chest!!!! Let me know if you've had any other takers. Thank you!

Yes 2 weeks mudbath, give or take a day tops I think. I suppose I can't comment too much as she put it as I was up clearing cupboards out the week after a csection so when I told her off she said I'd be the same.

Right call finished, need to take a black bag with me to put the presents in for her to wrap/take for me, if DSs see the boys one they will think it is for them! Need to do their cards aswell tomorrow then take them over tomorrow evening when they are in. That will probably save me at least £12 in postage. Strange how I was thinking about it tonight and she's going there on Sunday as her pre xmas visit.

Going to grab a bottle of water, let the woofs out then bed. 2 early nights (well early for me) in 2 weeks, weird!

have I missed any newbies? If so :hello: and welcome.

ZLS1984 -Huge hugs, hun. You know where we are and the flying will be there when everything else is sorted. Good idea to give the teacher a "headsup", too. Are you still set for hospital next week? Don't put it off if you can go through with it - you need your health and strength even more now.

Soappie - :T that's great. It's so nice to have recognition for your efforts, you must be so pleased. Have you ever been to Fairford? DH was on comms several years on the trot, so we got free tickets. Hoping to go next year as he's involved with something again.

Johanne - Have fun! You may just need to alter position slightly. With DS I kept going till he was 13 months (although gradually reducing ).

Lil_me - DD goes to an Adult Education Centre just up the road. Don't know about England, but all the courses we're doing are free apart from DS's guitar, plus if she did it in England, she'd be even later home. :sad:

OH, and when we lived in Nailsea, I used to pay £1 per tray of eggs, but they went up recently to £1.50, I just need to phone ahead to make sure there are some waiting for me when I'm going (which will be next Friday, so I must call!!!)

1. Evening All....(sound like Dixon of Dock Green...now thats showing my age!)
   

The sad thing is that I could whistle the tune, tell you his name was Jack Warner and that he had 2 sisters on the stage called Elsie and Doris Waters. Not that old, just stored up useless information for reminiscence therapy! :rotfl:

Froddington - much better, thank you. I said I just needed a slap and a reminder to count my blessings!

She is very good at that voice. :mad: She can get her DOH (Dopey Other Half) to call and cancel her appointment and do her own dirty work.

I'm off to bed now, so hope you all sleep well. Goodnight and God bless. x

F_Flower...NCT nearly new sale it's usually called. So other peoples stuff. I think the most I paid for clothes today was £1.50 for a nice jacket for her. The 12-18mth stuff should hopefully fit her into spring time Have a look on the NCT website. Some people sell things for £2, £3 etc but one stall I went to was selling some of her trousers for 20p/35p and I got a lovely top for 10p!

Right off to the pub now! :wave:

Sounds great, will have to check out the website... went to club myself, hence the late hour... see you all tomorrow (oooh, it's today now)...:wave:

I guess now is as good a time as any to go to bed...
