  • in the processof reading back but your earlier talk of MFD's pram has made me remember.

    MFD I went to York the other day and saw 6 Stokke Xplorys in one day, in all sorts of different colours, so don't go to york, I'm afraid you won't turn heads, on the other hand you could have a bad hair day there without anyone batting an eyelid .


    Ah but the thing is MM - you counted em :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    How many Bugaboos or Quinnys did you see?


    You know you are classy when people are counting you ;):D



    Edit ((HUGS)) Feely. Have you talked to him about why he isn't sure?

    Feelie, He isn't sure so its not a done deal yet, whats the sticking point? Is it something you can do something about? Meant to say earlier well done on the weight loss thats fantastic! Wish I could get my act together on that front, I took both girls swimming yesterday and felt horrible in my swimmer!

    MFD still on the Stokke, does it really go up stairs like its supposed to?

    ETA I look away when I see bugaboos (Really don't like them) and I've got a quinny so I always notice them! I won't tell you it was OH who counted the stokkes cos he thinks they are only bought by people with more money than sense.

    ETA i always use a bike lock on my pram when I have to leave it outside the doctors.

    woaw. i havent got anything sorted for katie or christopher if something should happen to me. OH is on bc, so i assume he would have them...but if both of us should go.....i have no idea what would happen them. and no idea who i would want to have them. at first guess it would be my sister, but then she is single parent at the minute and dont think she could deal with the stress of 3 children. my other sister is only 18.......gosh, i dunno. must speak to OH about this.!!

    Caz- i was just thinking abot you today. glad ur all sorted out and organised enough to make a lovely roast dinner!! :)

    Elle - incase i forget, hugs for tomorrow. will be thinking of lil Rhys and yourrself of course.

    SM - i wanna see a pic of your new hair!! :)

    cant remember what else id to say.....as usual!
    so proud, rearrnaged my living room this mornin, and then i lit the fire allll by myself toniht. its nice n cosy here! :)

    ETA:
    Feelie -- hugs. hope you get something sorted....you know we are all here to listen!
    and also, Weezl, on the topic of groups -- me and little ones go to a mother n toddler on a tuesday and thurs morning. 9-11am. its hard going getting everyone ready n outta the house, but worth it. I would love to go to more, off to do a bita research -- i know there is a surestart in east belfast, but i think its just for a particular catchment area....
    Carla-Farla!! :)

    Hugs for feelie, envious stares at Fergie's feet, good vibes for Rhys, hurray for people who've moved in successfully, a little snigger at the word "dongle", admiring glances at freshly dyed hair and a little Go Andrew dance for weight gain.

    We have a M&P pushchair that's still in the UK so we've not used it yet (bootsale, £37 including a carseat bit for newborns - we don't own a car so we'll be using that bit just for air travel). Mollster's crib's a Stokke one, it goes from birth to around seven years old and has four separate stages - tiny baby, regular cot, toddler/small child bed and then it turns into two chairs. We got it second hand and it was still appallingly expensive, but it's fab and I love it. I also spent some of my Jojo Maman Bebe vouchers on a faux Stokke high chair that I can't wait to use.

    And I've no idea what to do if something happens to us both - neither of us has siblings that we'd trust with Molly and my parents are really too old. I'm thinking my Very Best Friend would be a good choice - we'll talk to her at Christmas, maybe.

    ah good i'm glad that the father can appeal and its not set in stone, i was thinking of OHs ex doing it to stop him getting custody of his daughter really!

    sorry sami :( next time watch it at the same time as us or dont read anything til you've watched it :rotfl:

    if anything happened my choice would be my auntie, but she lives in kent and only met him for the first time on friday :eek:
    i think MIL would probably be the best bet. there are plenty of family on OH's side that would be more than willing, but my side wouldnt. nice thought, that!!

    We went out to dinner today, hubby was desperate to give Caitlyn something to eat... I told him when she could pick it up herself and put it in her own mouth then she could have something to eat... He managed to manipulate the situation thus: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4251704&l=b733d9f7a4&id=540180659

    And with all the pig flu going round, I have had a conversation with Aimee about handwashing and hygeine... She told me earlier she didn't feel very well... I asked her if she'd caught Daddy's hypochondria... Her reply was 'Yeah probably, because he never washes his hands...'
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
