Do most people not write letters?

He still has his graduation gown and hood from his studies at the Open Uni before I was born. He said he is going to look it out for me because I want to wear it when I graduate. My Grandma (his Mam) bought it for him and insisted he had to keep it as he was the first person in the family to get a degree and she was so proud - everyone knew about it Be nice wearing something with history rather than just hiring one.

That is so lovely. (We need a "warm fuzzy feeling" smiley.)

Morning all..

*hugs* all round

Was very thankful to be able to sleep just the two of us in our bed last night. We didn't even bother putting the travel cot up while we were away cos we knew what would happen :cool: Anyway, Rhys lasted until 8.50am in his cot and now he's in bed (playing not sleeping) with OH. I think he actually only woke up because he'd turned himself round and was kicking the bars - he wasn't crying, just moaning everytime he struck the bar

No idea what's happening here today. See how OH feels when he gets up - probably achey after all the driving and walking he did. Weather's rubbish anyway Might go into town and have a look for work stuff... KIT day in two days! :eek: Best check my trousers still fit... after another Easter egg, maybe

Aless - have that issue with washing and showering too it's a real pita!

Kindof - poor you that would earn my OH a clout round the head if he said that to T. Though I can understand the fustration, as am bf I'm totally on my own so it's hard and I do loose patience but I just shout in general and not at her, I know they wouldn't understand but certainly wouldn't swear (altho I do usually), just fell it's a bad habit I don't want to get into around her. My OH is really fab when he's awake he cooks, does the house work, makes me drinks and of course helps as much as he can with T. But once he's in bed it's a nightmare! He is so hard to wake so doesn't hear her cry so altho he can't feed her he doesn't even get up if she needs winding or just a cuddle. I suppose that's men for you tho they just don't have our instincts! Oh and am so looking forward to getting back on my wii fit too

Well have had a busy Easter, visitors wanting cuddles and bringing pressies for Tahlie mainly so today we have to ourselves. Have read back other than this page so apologies if i missed anything important. Right off to boot OH out of bed he said he was up earlier but I can hear him snoring from downstairs so he blatently isn't grrr!

Hi Susan
Most people I would think type letters, but not hand write them these days

I love chicken pie and I always do this recipe more or less, with chicken instead of turkey. It's gorgeous! :drool:
both enjoy Erin as much

Thank you SJ Thats looks yum. :drool:


Susan I seem to type official letters, but hand write letters or cards to family/friends.
I was thinking last week about pen pals. You never hear of children having them anymore - but if they did they'd be more likely to be email pals!


A quiet day for us today, pie making and ironing I think.

Morning people,

Kindof – sorry your OH is being less than helpful. I am so glad however that at least you realise that babies do cry! It stresses me when I hear people complaining about newborns not sleeping for 12 hours straight and crying – they are babies! Things will get better though. When Holly was born, we agreed that as DH was working and up early, I would do any night time feeds/wakenings, but he would stay up later to do the last feed, and try to do the morning one if he had time before work. Luckily we never had to put it into practice as Holly never really had a night feed – she just always slept through (although we used to just take her to bed when we were going, so much later than the 7pm bedtimes that some people do!)

Holly went into her own room on Friday night. She never used to wake in the night, but sometimes screams a bit in her sleep when trying to pass wind. It was easy when she was in the crib beside me as I could just pop her dummy in or lay my hand on her for comfort and she stopped without waking up and I didn’t really have a disturbed sleep. Now, however, I am having to get up and was up 3 times last night to find her awake!! She wasn’t crying or screaming, just moaning a bit and babbling (she has not stopped talking since her teeth came in!). I was straight back to bed within minutes each time, but I am so not used to it! Although I confess that at 6am she was wide awake, so I took her into the spare room and we both went to sleep for an extra 2 hours.

I have boogered my shoulder as DH brought H into bed with us on Thursday night and so I was perched on the edge of the bed all night and I have been in total agony. Spent 3 hours in tears during the night on Saturday with the pain. It seems to have eased off slightly but it’s not great.

3 Megan has a pen pal as her teacher is american and has come here to work for a year or 2! the kids from her old school are writing to the kids here and its quite funny to read the letters. Megans penpal wrote that she has lots of colourful pants and this lot thought it was hilarious!

:rotfl:Hmm, the language differences might make for some confusion!

I have a RL friend who had a Romanian penpal from being a child. They still write, and have visited each other. I think it's really sweet.

morning all!
had a lovely day yesterday. PIL came down and we all went to Heaton Park, they offered to take just Kian, but we all went as i knew if we stayed behind DH would most probably wanted to go to the pub. K hadnt had much sleep and was due a nap, so he fell asleep shortly after we got there so totally missed all the animals, the ducks etc and never got a go on the swings as he only woke up as we were finishing our coffee. (after 2 hours of walking around)

had a nice tea-pork chops, wedges and apple sauce nom nom..then after K had gone to bed we played mario cart for bout 2 hours.

just watching the Dorothy results show now as i had a nap last night when it was on and DH recorded it for me.

miserable day here. wanted to go for a nice walk but looks out of the question now. will see if it clears up later.

we could ger our kids to be penpals! everyone is all over the place and it could be a really good thing to start MSE penpal club!
