Thanks Birdie, that gives me hope! Had a good old moan about her to my friend on our walk yesterday, vented hard then felt guilty for bad mouthing her so made a big effort with her last night She's happy as long as people give her all their attention, so I can suck it up for another couple months.

Can't believe you forgot about us Wendz, after all these years!

I know Birdie, I was shocked at all these Londoners not being at a do we arranged just to meet them!

It'll just be a bunch of us Northerners wandering around looking lost at this rate! It'll be fabby anyway, always is!

OH is a man on a mission, we've got the nursery furniture now waiting to be built (I'm not letting him build it until after the scan on Monday at the earliest) and he's spent the last 2 days measuring up both bedrooms, muttering to himself and drawing little plans in between looking at cot bedding and curtains! Who knew he'd get so excited about tiny bedding with monkeys on?!

I should be there..!

It's cute your oh is getti really into baby planning with the nursery etc, is the Monday scan the boy/girl one?! Very exciting!!!!

N.I.M

Cinny and Tink I've PM'd you both re the project in Notts. I got my purchase order through during the week so I need to know if you guys are interested or not as I'm going to have to start allocating soon.

Anyone else who might be interested get in touch.

So glad you're okay ROTE, must have been so scary for you My suggestion would be to just 50/50 your extra money. Half as extra off the debts, the other half for lovely days out or nights in with your family

:eek:

You are such a wise [STRIKE]old[/STRIKE] young bird. I think you just might have something there. It sounds like a plan. :T:T

NIM - I'm really sorry, but it's not something I'll be able to do Really busy these next few weekends helping my Uncle out, and I don't like leaving Ryder after work during the weekdays as to come. Thanks for thinking of me though!

And I try, ROTE! How's everything your end?

Hope everyone had a nice weekend, can't believe how quickly days are going atm. It's going to be the end of the year before we know it :eek:

I know its going so quick!

Hope the scan goes well today Birdie!

Had a nice weekend. Went to a charity event on friday which was fun. Then saturday went for lunch with FIL and his gf and yesterday went to peppa pig world. Was a shame though as POppy wasnt herself and spent half the day alseep but she keeps talking about it like she had a great time lol.

Time does seem to be speeding up! I don't know where my weekend went, already can't wait for the next one! I did 'too much' on Saturday (which wasn't even that much really, lazy morning followed by a couple of trips to the shops and setting up for the party) so I was exhausted by the time everyone came round in the evening and spent yesterday in a knackered haze. OH managed to hurt his back playing rugby on Saturday (first tackle of the first game of the season!) so spent yesterday lying on the bed so at least we were both useless and had an excuse for a lazy day! Still exhausted today... it's hard work being me ATM!

Looking forward to the scan at 11.25 to make sure everything looks good and healthy and if we're lucky we'll find out if we're team blue or pink! :j Excited! No work is being done today.

Poppy is such a cutie Wendz, as long as she remembers having a lovely time then the day was a success! Although I am concerned that I'll soon be expected to know who Peppa Pig is and why she warrants having a 'world' dedicated to her!

Our Great Office Bake Off starts next week and the first bake is scones. I'm making them for my team which means I'll be spending a lot of my evenings baking this week so I get it right! We've decided to do 4 cheese scones with a caramelised red onion chutney 'core' since one of the judging categories is innovation so a classic cheese scone won't cut it. Made a practice batch with Gouda, Cheddar, Lancashire and Red Leicester but they're not cheesy enough so going to add a stronger cheese and see what happens. I can't really complain at having to buy lots of different cheeses for baking since I'm loving cheese right now!

You will learn about Peppa PIg :rotfl:.

Those scones sound amazing! Obviously you will need to do lots of test and taste them all.
