    Bruno - IKEA was heaving so I didn't get a good look. I think a lot of the interactive bits were abandoned as it was too busy, but they did have stuff out. Oh that wasn't very helpful, was it? I saw a guess-the-number-of-Daim-bars-in-the-jar raffle entry and a build-something-the-fastest-and-win-a-prize station, but we didn't wander around a lot and there may have been more. Oh and meatballs were on sale b/c it was Monday ;).

    Bruno: How is Mrs Bruno?
  • Bruno - what a nightmare day! At least it is over and today will surely be better.

    I will refrain from checking Lexulous every 2 mintues to see if you have played your turn :p



    Ideas for Hubby's birthday tomorrow (:eek:) please!

    morning!!

    dull, miserable day here so much for the sunshine they have been talking about on the weather.

    I've stole the sun :D It rained all day here yesterday but you can have it back tomorrow!


    Thankfully K only woke twice last night after I'd gone to bed then again at 5am for a bottle.
    He seems much brighter today after a good sleep so may take him to the local farm to see the animals later.

    Yesterday wasn't all bad but thanks :) the meeting was lengthy and depressingly lacking in natural light but I presented skilfully and received appropriate adulation from senior figures etc. Then the meal was good and free ;) and I had a huge slab of meat which always pleases me :o

    Today I actually am at home "working" so Lexulous away ;p until we go to hospital at 2ish. We are very efficiently combining some blood tests for me (for undefined sporadic abdominal pains) with OH's 12-week scan :D and her bloods too. So fingers crossed it all goes well but I am quite excited.

    OH very panicky of scan but otherwise not bad thanks csh - morning sickness has gone away, her only real woe at the moment is whenever she coughs sneezes or laughs she complains she is straining her uterus :confused: !

    ETA I am no use for OH's presents I am afraid MFD, I never know what I want either. Which is lucky as OH is possibly the world's least inventive present-giver - she really does try hard and thinks a lot! - but one time she literally gave me socks :eek: she has improved since then and I usually at least get a book I want to read :)

    Good scan vibes for Bruno! Very exciting but nerve-racking at same time. I had a feeling it was today lol

    Morning all :)
    Not been on for a while - been having a bit of a RL!

    DH is off work this week - his task today is tidying all the [STRIKE]crap[/STRIKE] paperwork which seems to gather in piles around the house!

    We haven't had breakfast yet, he's had to go and meet a policeman about a road rage incident with another car a couple of weeks ago. So I think we'll have bacon, sausage, egg, mushrooms and tomotoes when he gets back nomnom.

    I have to make a phonecall today and I am so excited! When I've made it I'll tell you all about it, but I don't want to tempt fate just yet!

    Edit: Who is CC on FB?
    Josh is watching Horrible Histories - it's actually really good. It's informative and not the usual shouty rubbish you get on kids tv.

    bruno- what an eventful time getting home from work. hope scan goes well today. i had a bad cough/cold when i was about 15 wks pg and i remember thinking 'god, if i cough any harder, the baby will fly out'. hope the scan and bloods go well today.

    CSH- tomorrow is good for the sun as i am off :D DH is working tomorrow, off today but he doesnt deserve any sun today for waking me up in the small hours.

    SM- any news on Philip's job?
