  • Morning everyone.
    Struggling to catch-up - just skimmed back over the last few pages.
    Hope the poorly children - Elliott and Alice - are soon feeling better.
    Hugs to Gill - what a horrible situation to be in.
    Well, we had a lovely day yesterday, catching up with the family of one of Amelie's old friends from nursery, They have 1 child a bit older than A, one a bit younger and a baby a couple of weeks younger than F. It was a welcome distraction as I feel a bit on edge at the moment, waiting for news on the house we want to buy. We put in a second offer on Friday evening and it's been provisionally accepted, dependent on an offer that the vendors have made on a place at the weekend being accepted. Hopefully should hear how that went today...

    SS, mama yoga sounds fun. Hope you and Molly enjoy it, sometimes doing a bit of exercise can perk you up.

    :mad::mad::mad: nobody was there! There's a public transport strike so it took us ages to get there on a horrible packed train and there was nobody there!!!! Only a builder outside who said, Oh, there's no one there. We rang the bell but no one was there :mad::mad::mad:

    SJ that video is adorable *loves*

  • SS - what a shame about the yoga - A's old nursery used to do Yum Yum Yoga about once a term, and she loved it. Are you going to try again?

    I've just sent a snippy email, but it was a trial class for when I'm not working, so I'd like to try again :)

    Just a bit peeving to battle through the people, then end up at the right place at the right time with nobody else around.

    I am so sorry, I forgot to say hugs to poorly mummies and babies and I hope everyone gets well soon.

    She must have a really robust constitution Susan :)

    That's a real PITA Sugar, I hope they have a damn fine reason for it!

    I just made us toast, only to find there's no butter in the pot... Why leave the pot there if it's empty?! We had to have just jam... And now I don't know what to do for lunch... And I don't have a single penny for the bus to go and scavenge food... And the cashpoint round the corner charges an extortionate amount to get your hands on your own money... And it's the day before payday...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    SS, what a total pain in the bum.

    Susan, hopefully Alice is on the mend now if she's well enough to be telling stories.

    3, I suspect OH would think I'd lost my marbles if he caught me squirty milk at madam's eye :rotfl:Although one of his sister's offered him some of hers when he had it, she also gave some to another sister for her cats poorly eye - yes, she is mad! He declined the offer :p

    Sami, it's definately true about rabbits. If you're a meat eater (I am) then you probably shouldn't discriminate on the basis of not eating 'cute' animals, or 'different' cuts of meat eg offal.

    Pain in the bum, SS!

    Krystal, toast NEEDS butter! Only acceptable sub is Marmite and Dairylea :drool:

    ETA: good luck with the house, Redstar! :)

    Morning all, just a sneaky catch up while at work.

    Hugs all round for those in need who are feeling poorly...

    William was a right grump last night and I ended up on the sofa while OH and William went on our bed. He just seemed to be constantly waking up.. in the end he gave him a bottle - he hasnt had one of those for ages :eek:. Hope this is not the start of things to come.

    He went back to nursery today as well as his nappies have returned to 'normal' only for me to have a phone call about 20 mins ago saying that he's had another watery one...:mad:..... Typical OH was going to start decorating today but no way he can do that with WG there... they are going to monitor and if he has another he will need picking up..... Aahhh kids eh!!
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.
