lil_me

boddy ((hugs)) for 2 years I wrote my Aunty a card, kept them in the envelope. They are in the filing cabinet. My DP did his northumberland run this morning and said roads were ok ish, until he got to Gosforth!
gratefulforhelp happy birthday
PenPen great news

DP has just been given his jobs for tomorrow, picking up and dropping off near poohbear land.....insane contract work. Doubtful he'll get through in the minibus which isn't great in snow. Hmmmmm.....

Anyway meeting went quite well, nice to know how far ahead we are compared to other areas around the country but frustrating others are not doing what isn't costing a lot but having a huge impact. DS2 deposited missing him already, he's my snuggly one so always a big miss when he goes. Friday night we usually snuggle up on my bed with a reading book which I miss loads. Anyway came back and sorted tea, packed his bag - actually he did a lot of it himself when prompted which is great now I have him in a little routine of what to put where, been back a bit now but thought I'd catch up with you guys then actually I might grab an early night if DS1 settles ready for a busy day tomorrow of housework and taxi for DS1.

Evening all

Pen-Pen - thanks - I may call upon the offer of the crampons when y'all least suspect it... Hope the Beijing/Schipol (however it's spelt!) connections work for your hubby and you xx

Ajmoney - healing vibes for your Pa in law

Dusty hun, thanks. Yep, Mudders and the squirrel outfit was something else.... I wonder if the Mudders stashed a load of nuts somewhere that I can dig up and use in a stir fry?

Crafty - I like your "fluff all" expression - I must incorporate it into my everyday speech...

Jojo- hugs on the daughter thing.. and the neck thing - but hey - the Drugs! Don't knock it! xxx

Hex, I'm doing my best in my all too few free hours

Boddy - I've just picked up today the news about your Mum. My sincerest condolences love xxxxx

pigpen how did you get on with the small minded vicar and the baptism?

I need to get on the pc and reply.. but I haven't had time or moivation far too busy with a broom up my bottom!

OH's mum spoke to the vicar at her church and he was appalled and said he can' say that they cannot refuse a baptism!! TBH I am not sure I actually want a narrowminded bigot to touch my little princess.. I might just persuade him to baptise her then say I'll have anyone but him do it!!!!!

My mother has said if we choose to have the baptism in Stockport then she will come.. so that is an option.. I did point out we will have all her birthdays and christmases here so having the dipping there, where his mother can fuss to her hearts content and where it will be appreciated and most likely where baby will go to church is possibly a better option than having it here with my family who think it is all a load of hogwash and just like the party afterwards..

pigpen might be an idea to bypass the local vicar altogether, but definitely worth bringing his bigotry to the attention of the bishop. The Church is supposed to be all-inclusive and welcoming, & he has not exactly led by example.

Why is it that my brain is now racing with jobs to be done just as it's nearly bedtime??! Pah!

He isn't very nice anyway, his sermons consist of homophobia, total and utter sexism, breeds religious hatred and !!!!!ing about everyone other than those in his pocket.. and he hates me anyway..

Not being cheeky, but do you really need the baptism?

Boddy, I am struggling with cards even more this year, have spent since last june sorting out mum and everyone else, and yesterday cried for 2 hours, have been putting off the card shop , since last year I was in and out every one for weeks sobbing, fathers day was a nightmare and the father in laws birthday is the day before dads was,its not easy! Big hugs!!!

She stashed a door under her bed and forgot about it so you're probably in luck.

Off to bed in a minute as I am starting to freeze to the spot here.

Yes, Can't really have all the others done and not this one.

I wasn't, neither of mine were due to a fire and brimstone minister, and it never seemed too important to me....mind you, the MIL is still a bit peeved, to say the least!
