    Excellent Post Maz.

    Big congratulations to Man In the Moon and Lucy.:j
    Hope it goes well telling the girls today.

    And big :) beaming smiles for a weened Elijah.

    I had my share of getting involved with arguments, when it kicked off with Feelie and Beenie. So I stay out of them now. I don't come on here for arguments, I have enough of them at home. :rotfl:

    I sometimes feel like I ought to reply to everything but I remind myself that it would be a full time job if I tried to do that.

    Exactly Susan. And I thought current etiquette was to thank, instead of going back and covering old ground. Unless its a big announcement like MITM lovely news of course.

    Anyhow. Have realised I have been ignorant myself, not commenting on SMs sterling attempt at setting up a big meet in Birmingham. I am off work 9-13th Aug. So may be able to make it on 12th. Just a bit far and i am a big wuse. Driving never used to bother me, but now i feel i have issues with it, don't know why! (shrugs and rolls eyes at self)

    Just realised I never replied to your previous post about it (I found it searching for my name but somehow ended up not replying. Would be great to meet up with you and Beenie (and whoever else) when you come up to Darlington.

    I think Mazcabs is somewhere in the very south but visits relatives in the north east sometimes.

    I read back over the argument last night as I was away when it happened and do feel really confused about how it all escalated - I couldn't see why anyone had taken offence to what Fitz said. I agree that it's a classic case of writing 'tone' being misinterpereted.

    Glam - I really don't think that Fitz was blaming you but can see how you would have interpreted it this way.

    I remember you both from the pregnancy thread and like you both very much and feel very sad that this has caused you both to be so upset and really hope that neither of you will leave us.

    Bad mummy moment - my mother just sent me a FB instant message asking something that took a couple of minutes to reply to. I was feeding Molly but she was getting antsy so I left her in the high chair while I replied. I turned back and she's fast asleep and snoring in the chair :rotfl:

    SM
    before you run off for nappies. I went to Tesco on Friday to get the BOGOF Active fit. Wigan one only had the size 4 on this offer. But then did have the boxes of superdry reduced from £12 to £10 in all sizes. Not sure if this is nationwide. But thought i should mention before you rushed off. Maybe Maz will know more?
  • Fitz- I'm realy sorry you're leaving us as I feel I have had a lot of support and good advice from you throughout pregnancy and since we've had our little ones. FWIW I feel I should have come out in support of you, but just kept hoping the whole thing had died down so didn't want to fan the flames as it were. Like Bruno I have since been back and re-read what was said (kicked off by Henry's baked beans) and I do think you were misinterpreted, and I guess that is a risk of posting rather than actually talking face to face. To be honest I worry that we are getting to a point where so many subjects have to be tiptoed around and I am starting to think hard before I post.

    Off for my boy's 8 month check in a mo, then for lunch with my Grandparents and some friends of there's.
