    A guy I know who all the girls swoon over (personally I couldn't see it!) did the whole topless waiter thing for extra money.

    I wish I was that buff but I don't have the dedication to do it, I like the wifes cakes too much.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Hi all,

    Aims for October:

    * Move from Scotland to Ireland (I know I have done this but it was a biggie and 3 weeks after Evie was born!)
    * Book church for christening
    * Find venue for afters of the christening
    * Register family with the GP
    * Book my 6 weeks postnatal check and baby's check
    * Attend mother & toddler group every Monday
    * Make an appointment with a mortgage consultant

    That's all I can think of now. As ever, am reading but not much time to reply. It is very busy with 2 children. And I am wrecked!

    Their frozen, didnt know you did waitressing gigs, its not a bad idea though, wonder if theres any call for irish waiters in these here parts.

    Loads of call for waiters actually, I never emailed them as I didn't think you'd be interested. I'll start adding them to the list.

    One of the MS companies I work for specialise in Audits.

    I'm gonna put together a list of all the companies I'm with and how I find them, if you guys are thinking of signing up let me know cause a lot of them are doing referral fees now, one in particular pays me a quid every time someone I refer does a shop for them.

    I hope you've signed dad up with them.

    Dinah I may be adding some more onto this list if that's okay??

    Yep sure, if I don't notice the post just prod me.

    Few interesting conversations going on here. Every year a woman I work with has a halloween party and this year we have to dress up. So I'm going along with the Mexican Dias dos los muertos thing and painting a sugar skull on my face. I have a black lace dress to wear and a mini mantilla veil (I used to be into weird gothy/alternative/dressing up stuff) and I've got a long black wig. Think I might have to make sure I get a lift with someone from work because if I turn up on my own, they won't know it's me with face paint and a wig on!

    Oh and by the way I passed my MSc :) And as one of my friends put it on Twitter - I am now a Mistress of Science!

    congrats on the MSc love.

    You know I read that post on small screen and was thinking 'has to be Birdie or Cinny to actually have a mini mantilla veil kicking around - I'm shocked!

    That's a big list Dinah. Good luck. My weekend list currently has 7 items on it (quite big things though) and DH has come home today and announced he's taking DD kayaking tomorrow to try out her new paddle (the one she's supposed to be getting for Christmas!). So looks like the nursery won't get painted this weekend for a start. I do feel a bit left out too tbh as my wetsuit obviously won't fit me never mind trying to squeeze into a kayak (no laughing please).

  • Just checking in and catching up because BT broadband was playing silly b*ggers yeterday and was down all day.
    Cinny- If your other half does the flag on the wall please post a pic.
    Dianh- I really should start writing lists like you do- would be so much more organised instead of being a scatterbrain.

    Had my 1st physio session this morning (Had some emergency surgery on my leg in August and been on crutches since)- ache all over now but looks like these new exercises will give me the tightest and pertest buttocks ever, as well as strengtheneing my leg muscles. Bonus!
    Was caught out by the frost this morning-quite a thick layer on the windscreen. Someone on telly mentioned snow for tuesday :eek:
