    *wanders in whistling pretending she's been here the whole time*

    I received a lovely message earlier checking I was ok as I've been missing for a while so thought I'd better pop in and see how you lovely lot are :D I've got absolutely no chance of reading back and catching up so could someone please give me the highlights? Pretty please :)

    Things are good here, Isla's full of fun and mischief at the minute and doesn't sit still for two seconds. My BIL is over from Croatia with my niece so we've been spending lots of time with them. It's lovely to see Isla and Emily playing together, they look so different even though there's only ten days between them!

    Wee James is still very poorly, he had an op yesterday and is having another today and a third early next week once he's hopefully stabilised. He had a really bad weekend and things weren't going well for him at all, I don't really want to go into too much detail on here but any spare vibes that are going around would be much appreciated.

    Hugs, kisses (on both cheeks ;)) commiserations and congratulations where necessary :D

    Afternoon all. We have had lots of fun at the swimming pool, and a good play in the park. Izzy was insistent on playing on the big slide (which was higher than me!) :eek: But there were some broody bigger girls there who wanted to play with her, so I let one of them catch her at the bottom, while I was making sure she wasn't going to fall down anywhere else!

    She has fallen asleep on the way home, so I've cleaned the bath and had a 10 minute "pick stuff up off the floor" and am now having a well deserved rest. We are going out for dinner somewhere on Saturday night, so need to call up and see if we need to book a table (I'd rather not, cause then we can just get there once she has gone to bed, rather than feeling like we have to rush).

    Then it is time to tackle the kitchen. And maybe get some more washing on if I want to wear clean clothes tomorrow :rotfl:.

    , and my apologies to 3 if you have picked up on my bad luck :(

    So that's where it came from. :( I don't suppose you want it back do you?

    3 - did I hear you say you were broody again?! I feel odd that I'm not broody. My nephew is gorgeous and cute and I love him, but the momories are still to real for me right now. I still get twinges of pain from my section and still have anemia and worried that hubby wants a boy so much he woul be desperately upset if we had a girl!

    I'd like a new teeny-tiny little baby, but not the pregnancy/birth bit. :o
    I'm a bit similar with the boy/girl bit too. When OH is in the frame of mind that he'd like another, it's got to be a boy.

    Hi Boogely lovely to see you.
    All spare vibes from here are going to wee James.

    Thanks ladies :)

    I've just seen there's a meet in August, I'll have to miss it sorry as we go away the following day. We're off to France to see my Mummy :j

    Jillie I hope Kians ok and his rash isn't anything serious. I can't beleive how quickly his christening has come around!

    Congratulations to MOTM and Lucy!

    3 I'm with you, I'd love the teeny-tiny baby but hate the actually being pregnant bit. And the first few weeks BF-ing! I'd rather go through labour twice than that! I've just read a bit about your holiday, I'm shocked and appalled at what has happened.

    Cuddles for Kian and massive vibes for baby James.

    Hello Boo :)

    I'd love another baby. I thought there might be another in the oven when my period was a week late, but it came with a vengeance so no :(

    But would you be happy there? We have a small 3 bed terrace tiny garden £735 pcm.... Near Bournemouth.

    In Cornwall there's a detached 3 bed with a nice garden right near the sea and almost opposite tesco for £650 :(

    If we were ready to move right now I'd have OH job hunting down there this week!
