    if i knew what eggnog was, i might be tempted cos it looks tasty! but what is eggnog??

    I think it's sold as Avocaat in the UK :)

    Husband managed to knock over a decanter full of whisky (the only decanter in the house that has something in it :eek:) and the apartment reeks. I've sent the two of them out to be in warm shops while I sit here all huddled up with the windows wide. I think I'm going to take the little space heater into the bathroom and take advantage of their absence.

    its an antihistermine I think, it's the sedating part of medised :)

    *Is this definite about the knicker fetishist :confused: Don't want to beat a girl down if she's genuine. I guess one or two of you would have noticed similar patterns etc, but as recently posted, all we see is text and we can easily confuse things on here.

    Definitely the knicker fetishist, I recognise her and the "innocent" start to the posts from her appearances in the Arms.

    oh noo Krystal does that mean mine might come in about 2 weeks :( I had better make sure I take supplies on my hols too if not, don't wanna be trekking around the mountain to find the spar for them while having cramps! I really should have sorted my coil out months ago :doh:

    I've just been resting my eyes in he hope of getting some energy but its just made me more sleepy!
    You won't necessarily get yours in 2 weeks... But I would pack some just in case... Funny mine's come back a week after Caitlyn's started solids... I didn't think her milk consumption had dropped at all...:confused:

    My Mum used to give my brother Phenergen to make him sleep... It's an antihistamine but drowsyness is a by product of it...

    The school are holding a carol concert at the local church tonight... I'm supposed to take Aimee up there at 5:45, it's 40mins long and there's no guarantee I can stay and watch her sing :undecided I wouldn't bother myself but she's really going on about it and checking the time constantly...

    Hi everyone :)

    Jish did his 100m at swimming last night!

    Would like to treat him but not sure what to do? Not a toy cos xmas is nearly here and he'd choose something I've got for him! He likes chinese so thought about letting him have a takeaway on friday night. Just want to do something cheap but something he'll like.

    MOTM hope you had a lovely night ;)

    Sami DON'T LET ME CATCH YOU ON HERE TONIGHT!! You must go to bed!

    Chinese from tesco/asda, DVD, popcorn and a friend over?

    Thought you couldn't take antihistimenes when pregnant unless the need outweighed the risks? I had to stop mine when pregnant or was that maybe the high risk thing?

    DS1 is a little bit heartbroken and upset. A boy in his class told Laure that DS1 fancied her and he got embarrassed and said he didn't. Then at hometime he asked her if it would be weird if he did fancy her and she screamed NOOOO!!!! and ran away. His wee face is all sad :( I told him girls are silly and he said but mum your a girl and your not silly and neither is gran or Amber. So I told him that I used to be silly then grew up a bit and Amber is still too young to be silly but she is smelly.

    Aww Tia, your poor boy :(

    Maybe she was just a little overwhelmed with it all and hopefully she'll be nice to him tomorrow... Do you have any icecream he can use to patch his broken heart?

    :rotfl:Probably the best thing to tell him.

    Molly's pretty silly. She's taken to latching on to anything that gets within her range and Mama now has a hickey :rolleyes: and everything we own is covered in dribble. Teeth are horrid.
