*Stop The Cavalry* It's The 2014 Christmas Chatter Thread

Nanamia

Mrs M you do put me to shame! I'm blinking worn out reading what you cram into a day. I'm sure no news is good news with the bloods. How is MIL doing? xxx
FestivePrincess I'm following closely your garden plan Our digger is coming (probably) tomorrow night. Excited as are all the neighbours. To get it in our garden one of the neighbours gate and surround is having to be taken down and another is loosing a fence panel then hopefully after the weekend they can be both restored Yik yak yuk to sore throat, I'm sending "leave Jess alonnnnnne" vibes in a southern direction. So germs beware xxx
b_e_g I did actually chuckle out loud to read of your good looking colon You defo need a badge. Who knew haha xxx
Dropsofjupiter if you are lurking can I pick your brain please? I've had a really nasty funny turn on my last fasting day shaking, shivering, legs wouldn't move, tremendous headache followed by vomiting. Obviously it could've just been coincidental that it was maybe a bug and just happened to strike on fast day, well 2am the following morning. You had any side effects? xxx

Nanamia

SFAM it's all true. Mrs I and her DGSs other Nan he calles his "Grandma Sisters" so we can defo be Nana Sisters I'm looking forward to it immensely xxx Yoh brought tears to my eyes with your beautiful words, I'm sure I've mentioned before that my Nan was fantastic. I do strive to be half the Nan she was with my beautiful girls. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo earlier but DGD2 called for a chat after tea and DH was itching waiting to light a bonfire with some wood from the now dismantled shed. You should've seen her face, she got her chair and the pair of them sat watching the fire, chatting away with the occasional burst of a nursery rhythm or singing the alphabet. Priceless. xxx

Linky hope DS is enjoying his new job, don't think DD has started yet has she? I get a little unnerved when you are quiet. You ok xxx

Nanamia nothing to worry about. Just a bit tired. Dd starts on Sunday.
Blooming dog got me up at 4.30 this morning. We are going to have to put the stair gate back up.
She did this before. She used to wait for me to get up at 6.20, then she started waking me up at 6. This week we have got up at 4.45 and she is waking me up earlier again. I wouldn't mind but when I let her out she just have a good sniff about and came back in.
If she thinks I am getting up at 4.30 over the weekend she will be very upset.

CV pot is slowly growing. I have a couple of things being collected tonight, so another £11 will be added later. Tomorrow I am hoping to post some more bits. I seem to have a lot of baskets in the corner of my room. And a black bag of old clothes. I'm not expecting a lot for them but every penny counts.
Then on Sunday ( if it's nice ), I want to get in the trailer :eek: a- to see what I have for the caravan and b- to see what can be sold.

Once I have a caravan and have moved everything into it, the actual trailer can be sold.

Well I really need to get my backside into gear. Hope everyone has a good day. x

You arent kidding how expensive baby stuff is, whoa its so long since mine were babies, but its also amazing the different stuff you can get now, i just want to help out as much as i can because as well as the baby they have all the expenses of a new house that also needs a lot of doing up, coming up and DD2 is worrying about it all, my DS her twin is buying the cot and mattress for them so that is two big things out of the way.

I just want to say to the few people who enjoy my challenges DS is trying to get the time to print out the next lot for my folder so i havent given up i am just challengeless atm

buying for a baby is daunting but they really dont "need" a huge amount I found I nearly halfed the list if things they say you need buy just concentrating on the must haves. that said I love baby shopping so looking for the best deals isnt exactly a chore

omo lol at mia our dog used to do that and it drove me nuts hard habit to break. doing great with the caravan fund

beg congrats on you all clear medical testing can be so embarrasing but the peace of mind is well worth it in the end

oops look at the time gotta shoot and get taz will try and pop back later tc all

Hi all,

I am still reading even though I'm not posting at the moment.

Anyway went for screening last night and my results are 'normal' :j. Dr told me I had a 'lovely looking colon' :eek: must make up for my face. While it was maybe a bit embarrassing knowing that everything is fine made it all worthwhile.

b_e_g

I have to ask...did the Dr say "You have a lovely looking colon, must make up for your face" or did you add the face bit yourself? :rotfl:

I once got told by a gynie that my cervix was lovely & long, not the kind of thing to hear whilst being spatula'd for a pap smear!

Hi all, just popping in again to say hi! :wave:

I had hoped I would get more involved again after posting last time but by the time I get home from work i'm really tired and don't want to log back onto a computer!

I'm 6mths into my pregnancy now but unfortunately still on sickness medication, I had never dreamed I would still be on it at this stage but tried to come off it a few weeks ago and ruined a weekend away in Norfolk as we had to keep stopping so I could be sick in lay-by's! My midwife says it's better to take the medication than to not keep food down but I really don't like being on it. Other than that though we are really healthy and I know how blessed I am.

I haven't had the chance to read back but will try to go back a few pages to see what's going on - I think I have seen that you're having your first grandchild freespirit? If so congratulations - exciting times! :T
I bought my first Christmas present of the year the other day - a Sudoko book for my mum from the 99p shop! I know it's only May but I actually feel 'behind' on my Christmas shopping as I usually pick up loads of stuff at the beginning of the year in the sales! My DH really wants a globe and they had some nice ones out before Christmas, I was going to get one in the sales afterwards (because i'd already got him enough for Christmas) but didn't even manage to get online to have a look as I was so poorly.

Anyway I think i'm waffling now, I hope you're all ok and I will have a little look back a few pages to try to get up to speed with what everyone's up to.

Girls, before I stick it on ebay I have a imaginex batcave & a huge amount of figures & cars etc. PM me for more info & I will send pics if anyone is interested or a link to my ebay page. I also have a castle of doom & assorted ghosts, g h o u l s, knights & whatnots. (why is g h o u l s on the naught word list! odd)

Time for the summer clear out.

n.b I hope this isn't breaking rules?

Afternoon everyone,

NANAMIA you are so funny, yes i love that MRSI DGS calls them that, so sweet, well i had a lovely nan and a not so lovely stepnan, the lovely nan brought me up for the first 5 years of my life virtually, but even though the stepnan was not a typical loving nan, she was very strict and scary, she was the one who taught me to bake??? Oh i can just picture DGD2 and grandad sitting watching the fire, that is so cute, bless em

OMO mine started that a while ago, he would just get let out when the first person got up and let him out, then he started opening my bedroom door and when i started locking it he would stand in the front room and whine loudly, it started at 6am then like Mia got earlier and earlier until one morning it was 3.15am i could have blooming ****** him, so now i just leave his dog flap open and he can wander in and out on his own without waking anyone up, again like Mia he would just stand out on the decking, it wasnt as if he was busting for the toilet, hope DS had a good first day at work

MANDCO i have said to DD2 the things that i found i never used werent worth buying but i dont want her to think i am butting in, i just dont want her to waste her money but on the otherhand she might love something that i didnt :o

PRINCESSKITTY oh my lovely, you poor thing, you must feel rotten still suffering with sickness, i have been wondering how you are getting on, 6mths omg it goes so fast. Im glad you and baby are fine in every other way though, take care of yourself

thanks for the good wishes about the bloodtest nanamia . im sure its nothing serious in fact i doubt they will find anything wrong, its mainly a check up. my mum and my sister have thyroid probs so im monitored occasionally, should hear back by monday if they want to see me so no news will be good news.

Hope the blood results are good Mrs. M.
