    How bizarre are people that they shorten names without even knowing the person? I would be very confused if the doctor called me Steph....
    I hate it when people call me Sue.

    ETA: Nothing wrong with the name - it's just not me so it's like calling me any old random name.

    Happy birthday Dora!
    (and if it isn't today then happy unbirthday!)

    Dishes done, just looking around my messy apartment and sighing to myself. We have too much crap but after another argument last night OH tells me he isn't throwing anything else away till we know if we're staying here or moving somewhere else. And if we're moving we can get rid of all kinds of stuff. Or, more likely, he will insist on a place with a garage and fill it with crap so when he dies I can throw it all away after disturbing several nests of mice and spiders in the process.

    Kindof, call the hospital hun and see what they say, better to be checked over (and they can monitor your contractions too) than take the risk that it is PE.

    Ambers first word may be Big Brother. She is blethering something that sounds exactly like it, got it on my phone but I've lost the lead to upload it to the PC :(

    that made me laugh thinking of the Jonny Cash song where the bloke shoots his dad for naming him Sue!

    People who know me well shorten me to Weez or Weezy or Weezl, but sometimes people try 'Lou' and that just really doesn't feel like me at all. Lou would be all trendy with a power bob with a fringe and beautiful clothes :D (in my head)


    I wore the shields for 11.5 hrs including sleeping :):):):)

    morning! HH, sorry to hear David was a pain :(. WM - was Alex any better for you after doing well the night before (I think it was?)? My grumbleguts didn't want to go back to sleep after his night feed, so spent the following 2 hours listening to him toss and groan in his basket, grrrrrrr.

    Poo, need to go to post office for eBay parcels today, but cannot be bothered. Very annoyed as mystery shops for 3 coffee shops in the area were posted this morning, but by the time I went to apply for the job 2 minutes later, they were gone!

    Weezl, I have spent the last 5 minutes trying to figure out what on earth this means. Or have you got me mixed up with someone else?
