8... 3 boys.. 5 girls... any particular flavour or age in mind?

i realised after i had the third that I had run out of knees/hands! Mind you 3 caesarians in 3 years was a bit much......and for a long time I wanted another one!

After I had no 2 my mum gave me the 'well you've got 2 so any more will be harming the planet!' speech!!!!! Just over a year later I had to ring and confess......she was shocked....(not as shocked as I was...!!!!:eek::eek:)

morning all

I have the dentist this morning so a bit of time at home, though need to get ready and leave in 30 mins, including making myself some lunch. No snow here, and none forecast, just wet and miserable, but could be worse!

I am really tired and don't want to go to work (I feel like this every day at the moment!), hopefully once I'm out I'll be ok.

Morning all,

Rachel, that's terrible about the bus i'll keep my fingers crossed that they're all ok.

We'renot dressed yet but i'm going to do a HHC at 9.00 if anyone wants to join me?

AnW'sMum

Morning all

I was supposed to be helping to walk the kids from school to church for their Easter service but got a text 5 mins before we left saying due to the poor weather it was cancelled and the service would be held in school. I wouldn't mind but it is absolutely beautiful here today, would go as far as to say the best day of the year so far! It has rained overnight but is dry and bright now. The silver lining for me is that I can carry on getting organised for our weekend away instead.

Hope everyone is snow bound areas is safe and warm with power connected.

rach I hope the tiredness passes soon for you, make sure you rest when you need to at home. Continued thoughts for sandy

Blimey.

Got through to BG at this time of night. And had an English speaking person. They will be out after 1pm tomorrow. I shall go in early to work and leave early.

Please, everyone, humungous vibes that they fix it..

I'd be surprised if you didn't get through to someone english speaking, as all the call centres are in the UK ... hopefully they'll get it sorted. It took a while to fix mine but they did a fantastic job and replaced lots of parts...

Toots would that lovely friend and her two lovely children be someone we know by chance?:D

Congratulations on being confrmed on Sunday, I hope the sun shines brightly for you my friend. xxxx

If it doesn't, our big beaming smiles should shine some light, over your way, for your special day. xxx

Ditto... it's a very special day, and I hope you and your guests enjoy it.

Good news re Sandy, thanks Greenbee for keeping us posted, had to laugh about your short skirts....heehee, I can imagine the glare you would give if you caught anyone looking at your legs...:rotfl:

I'm perfectly nice to people looking at my legs if it's going to get me what I want :D And trust me, it's MUCH more effective than showing cleavage as they tend to be much more self-conscious about looking at that. Persistence combined with legs definitely works... lots has been achieved by parking myself on someone's desk while they were away and not moving myself or my very obvious legs) until they've agreed to what I want...

Hope you colleagues start to behave. Just try to remember the good things about your job, why you do it, and how satisfying it is for you and others when it goes well.

Been to the gym... had breakfast... need to shower and get stuck in to some work...

Today is going to be laundry day judging by the piles by the washing machine! Will keep the ironing board up as well so that there is nothing piling up in the basket.
