    Pigpen, drunk teenager eh? Thankfully got a while before I need to deal with that but not looking forward to it. Congratulations on your baby too - when I was here last you were 20 weeks pregnant!!

    Baby was 4 months old yesterday... :p.. your house must be SOOOOOOO messy! :p

    Morning, DS feeling a bit better this morning, he's had a drink and some toast and kept it down so far. He's now curled up on my lap commenting on everyone's avatars - Pigpen yours is apparently a reindeer-goat. He said goat, I said reindeer, he said reindeer goat so we settled on a compromise. NHS direct never called back :mad: I stayed up until 1.30 waiting, at which point I decided if he got any worse I'd call them again. OH slept on sofa cushions on his bedroom floor and despite saying he'd get up with them this morning he didn't. So I'm tired, grumpy, still poorly and feel a little bit sick myself. Baby has puked non stop this morning. He is a bit of a sicky baby, but I can't tell if this is just posseting or he's ill too. He seems fine in himself though so I'll just keep an eye on him. Thank you everyone for the hugs etc x

    Well NHS direct are a complete and utter waste of time.. they either say.. ring us back if it gets any worse OR ring the doc OR go to A&E.. I rang a few times to 'test the service' before deciding they were something to be avoided.. you know when medical helpis needed and they don't offer any.. as part of cuts in Government spending I propose they do away with that.. it must cost a fortune to run and is totally inept!

    Well.. it is part goat and part reindeer.. all due to birth signs (capricorn) and christmas ..see..

    Hope this week is a better one in your house and all the germs move to the nearest PITA neighbour :p

    sexy how's the wedding plans?

    Well I'm now minus a bridesmaid (as mentioned yesterday) but not overly bothered as she was starting to become more of a hassle than it was worth. I've got an appointment at a jewellers on Wednesday morning to speak to their goldsmith about making my wedding band (it has to go round a cluster engagement ring, so most rings don't fit properly), but other than that, not a lot happening at the moment. I've got my next (and I think last) dress fitting in February (they will be adjusting the bodice on that one), and just need to sit down with Moon and discuss guest list for the reception when we get home from honeymoon.

    Chirstmas cards all done and by the front door awaiting posting - they should be on their way this week Natty.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
    I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/2017

    Good to ditch the bridesmaid before the ceremony if she was a pain. Are you going on honeymoon before the wedding?

    Well I've done the paperwork (7 letters!) and washing in washing out so far.

    We are getting married in Jamaica, so will be on our honeymoon for 2 days before and then for the next 11 days. We are having our reception when we get home (on Good Friday).
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
