Bonfire Babies!! **DRMGDLOOoooooo**

Awww Gemma you mut be so excited to be getting your own place again and back in with hubby permamently. Bet hubby is looking forward to a nice quiet weekend with no commute lol.

We are currently looking at next years hols -anyone been to either Turkey or Bulgaria? Trying to stay out of eurozone lol - altho keeping a close eye on greece/islands; could be interesting if they went back to their own monetary system I reckon!
My sis and family -2 teenage girls and 2 yo boy; and Dave's sis and fam - boy 6yo girl 3yo and infant are planning on coming too, hope it all works out, as it will be nice to see everyone and let all the cousins play :)

Only prob I can foresee is that my sil mentioned in the past about us all paying to take her mum aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggggggghhhhhhhh!! Joking aside, I CANNOT SPEND MY HOLS WITH THAT WOMAN!!! I find her intolerable for the short spells when she visits, she is SO annoying! Always comments on something she thinks she is right about, and isn't!!!! Always remarking about stupid stuff like, 'my kids were all potty trained from 6months' WTF???? NO they were not you crazy bitch!!!!!! Says I have left it too long now!Tells me things that are going on in MY life and when I say 'no actually thats not true /correct, argues with me that she is right!!' Like she asked me how my son Ben was getting on with his football -I said Ben doesn't play football, but Conor does and its going great thanks!! 'No its NOT, its Ben she says!!! NO, Crazy bitch, my kids, my life think I should know! If she ever backed down it wouldn't be so bad, but she goes on and on and on and on, until eventually my dh will say mum shut up!!!!!!! then she gets all upset and says 'oh you know what I am like, I always get everything wrong 'etc etc, and they all feel sorry for her. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
We used to see her once or twice a year (me and hubby have been together nearly 12 years) but in the past 4years since my sis has been dating my bil it has been more and more (lol because he is an apron string boy, who feels he HAS to get his mummy along every 2-3 weeks); then we get roped in to driving her about ( regardless of what shifts we are working or anything )

OOps that turned into a right ramble there - sorry lol!! She makes my blood boil lol!!!!!

I can foresee huge fights because of it!!! DH and BIL esp will be more than a bit peeved when me and my sis say we are not tolerating THAT woman on our holidays lol! She is their mum afterall; and my sil was wanting her along to help babysit I think (not that I'd trust her alone in my sitting room with my kids lol)

fun fun fun fun

We went to see the xmas lights being switched on in town yday and to see santa arrive! Dawson had fallen asleep so missed santa arrive, wee tyke was saying santa santa santa all the way down but fell asleep just before he arrived. I am booking us in for breakfast with Santa for middle of December, we get brekkie (obvoiusly lol) then Santa sings songs, reads them a story and then they get to visit the grotto for a gift.

my boy wants to go out so I'd better go get ready - love to all mums babies bumps and tots xxxxxx
 
Thanks Donna :) yeah really can't wait. It's sad that it's been something for nothing but who was to know eh? He is fed up as he get the national express/mega bus up to save money as we have given up both cars now :( he says he can never really have a weekend off and doesn't get to spend any time just me and lib as there is always someone there but not much longer! His tenancy doesn't offially end until jan but we want to be in for Xmas, even though we will be paying 2 lots of rent in dec!

I hope you don't have to take mil along that could be a pain! Can't stand mine either. Never been to those areas sorry, think we are going to try and get away late next year xx

Hey girls!

Donna inhave been to Zante, Crete and Rhodes and all were lovely! I'm off to Turkey in May but hubby has been years in a row to a place called Oludeniz and his sister went back this year and said it was still really lovely and amazing beaches etc. so maybe have a look there? We are going to a place. Alled Belek in Turkey to the Xanadu resort, it's all inclusive, can't wait!

Gemma - I feel for you and your hubby commuting. That would put a strain on anyone, not long to go!

Liz - hope you're ok hun, popping off to your journal now, I see you have attracted some twin people! Another of my friends announced she's is having twins this week!

Hope everyone else is well, I'm in limbo land waiting for the witch or a positive test!
 
Omg Nat -yay, congrats hun, so pleased for you all xxxx

Think we are swinging more towards Turkey too, only thing putting me off is no bacon for brekkie haha! ONLY way to go, all inclusive, we would never do anything else with the kids. Could cost you a small fortune on juice alone otherwise lol
How may weeks preggers will you be then lol?

sending you love n hugs xxx
 
Hello lovely ladies

Woop woop - less than 2 weeks til Santa!!! So excited! LOVE LOVE LOVE Xmas time!
We went to see Santa at the weekend, Dawson was a bit shy but excited too. He got a train and a tool set so was absolutely delighted ( perks of having Santas helper as a daughter lol). Decorations are all up and I am slowly but surely getting through my wrapping (using Dodge's nap time to try and get as much done as possible lol)

Dawson is loving all the lights and has only pulled my tree down twice haha (so far)
Santa is bringing him a seesaw, a ride on/ bouncing caterpillar, tool bench, as well as some little people play sets, books, jigsaws and other bits n pieces. I am more excited than anyone haha! Cannot wait to see his (and the older ones too) wee faces on christmas morning xxx
Hope e1 else is well, bumps babies mummies and tots xxxx
 
haha only pulled the tree down twice! Ruby hasnt paid much attention to ours, apart from insisting the lights are switched on each morning, she is going to be devastated when they are all taken down!

I have been naughty and bought Ruby loads this year too, she loves Happyland and the Little People sets, so do I, they are so sweet! I thought she would be trying to unwrap everything under the tree, but again she has just ignored it all!

Are you at home for Xmas? How many do you have? x
 
We cant have anything under the tree - he'd have it open in a flash lol, he has already had a go at eating all the candy canes with the paper still on lol.

We are having Xmas at my sis's house - so us 6 my sis, Bil, 3 neices and 1 partner, and my wee nephew too. Mil (from hell lol) is going to visit Sil for Chrimbo - yay!!!!! So no having to go pick her up and not have a drink until we've dropped her off again this year. Wouldn't mind if she was considerate and realised it was our xmas too, and went home earlyish but she always dragged her feet!!!!! I am no huge drinker, but would have liked a few with my xmas lunch /dinner too. She sat with her bubbly lol and I was on the wagon waiting to chauffeur her home :(

I am working boxing day, so wont be a boozy one this year, need to drive at 7am the next morning, but at least I can have a few. Then I am off until 2nd Jan yipee -as good as it gets being a nurse, so pleased I am off christmas day :)

When is everyone else finishing up for their hols? Go on, make me incredibly jealous lol!!!


xxxxxxx
 
its just Dh, d & I for xmas and I'm off from now til the new year...if not for longer!! ;) xx
 
Could seriously strangle my hubby today!!!

I ALWAYS arrange christmas presents for the kids, make sure we have what they want , make sure everything is present and ready for the big day and everythng wrapped etc. Not because I want to do it all on my own particularly, but because he procrastinates so much that things would not be done!
He always thinks we have loads of time, when actually we dont.

So my 9yo is getting his bike re-coated and all new parts ( you just dont gt 18" BMX s with the spec he wants and he is too small for a 20" bike just now) -I have been panicking about it for weeks, what parts to get, how to get it apart, back together, where to get it coated etc , I have bought all the bits, with my son helping and googling best parts to buy , searching loads of shops etc, found a company to put it it into to get coated and really felt like we were running out of time, I have been so stressed over it. I tell you next year he is getting an xbox lol! Last monday (over a week ago) i had a melt down. Hubby says last week 'dont stress, leave it all to me babe, its fine I'm off work next week I will sort everything'

So 4 days to go, where is the bike?? parts still in the paint shop, one of the hubs, my hubby couldn't get apart to change the bearings and ended up damaging it, now that needs a specialist bike shop to repair. The same hub was meant to be coated with the rest of the bike, so now needs a quick spray job to make it the same as the other hub!!! He now admits he thinks the respoking of the wheels will be too big a job and may need specially re built.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I am working, so will need the car tomorrow thru day and then thurs night so we really are limited for time now too. I have been on the case (and on his back to help) for the last 6 weeks and if he lets my son down on christmas now i will seriously be considering either divorce or murder.

And the only reason we are doing it, is because my hubby's pal is a spray painter and said about 2 months ago that could respray the bike for us, so hubby thought it would be a great idea to pimp up his bike. Then the pal let us down when the bits had already been ordered and my son was already mega excited about getting, essentially, his new and suped up bike! :(:(:(


Could scream!
I have the school nativity today, need to go food shopping thurs and once I get a sleep on friday after night shift, it will be xmas eve practically.

Moan moan moan lol, and I Love xmas time, my stupid hubby is ruining the festive cheer -think he must be the grinch really :)

love to all, ahve a fabbie time and dont EVER leave essential xmas stuff to the men folk - they are crap!
 
Hi ladies....
I am so so sorry I have been AWOL for so long. I have been having one hell of a time in my personal life so I appologise now if this gets longer than I expected!!!

Well Macie has been in hospital a couple more times in the last few weeks yet again with croup and stupidly high temps. She's now on anti-biotics and finally seems to be on the mend. She's also teething so stupidly bad at the moment. We have the last 2 top front teeth coming in, all 4 canines and from what I can see 2 back molars so not good at the minute haha. She's just gone from my baby into a proper little girl now and it's sooooo scary! Haha.

Well fingers crossed I should have a viewing on my new home the first week of january! So that has made me feel a million times better and lifted one hell of a load of weight off of my shoulders! Just keeping everything crossed now.

My sister finds out if it's blue or pink on 12th jan and I cannot wait. She's so excited! (she's 29 and this is her first). Really can't wait! Seems like I am surrounded by pregnant people at the moment! Makes me soooo broody haha.

Well me and hubby are still trying to work through things! Its hard as we seem to argue alot at the moment but were getting there. I hope. We've got a much longer hard road ahead of us but I hope we can make it work! Lol.

Well I don't know if any of you saw my posts last month about my period being late but I got so excited! Then the witch turnt up :(. Kind of made me really sad :(.

Well I'm usually on my period by the latest of the 10th of the month.(I'm abit erratic with the witch lol). But look where we are today.... And still no period as of yet????
Today I have felt terribly dizzy and the lower back pain is immense! I had some mild cramping around the 8th wich is normal for when my period is due. Also... TMI sorry ladies but my CM has increased like stupidly over the last week or so?? What do you ladies think? I haven't wantedto get my hopes up in anyway do haven't told any of this to anyone! And before any of you ladies ask..... No I've not done any tests and at my parents at the min do can't face it an also scared of being disappinted????

Sorry for the long haul ladies and sorry for numerous spelling mistakes as done this on my phone.

Lots of love to all mummies, toddlers, babies and bumps.
Cxxxx
 
Oh how exciting!! Thats quite a bit late now too, hope you get the result you are looking for hun!! And hope u and hubby are on good terms. And poor Macie, she has been thru it, hasn't she? poor wee tyke, hope she is better soon.

My niece found out she is having a girl this week, so excited for her, after my last 3 being blue and the last two cousins being blue too, it is lovely to be buying pink :)

My sis (granny to be) has been buying loads of pink this week haha, and I bought another wee outfit today too.


Happy Christmas Eve's eve everyone lol
Hope Santa is really good to you all, but if you are anything like me; you'll be happy just to see the LO's faces on Xmas morning -nothing like it. So joyous!!

Love to all xxx
 
Hey, hope everyone had a fab Xmas!!!! How much better ages are they all this year? Sooo much more fun lol.
Macie and me have been serious amounts of spoiled lol.

Well done a couple of pregnancy tests the other day, only cheap asda ones... The first one I clearly fucked up lol so had no result and the second came back negative :(. BUT still no period???? Suggestions???

Love to all from me and moo xxx
 
Could be stress related hun! But I have heard of ppl not getting BFP 's until much later too, so ever hopeful for you :)

Christmas WAS fab wasn't it? The tots are such fab ages just now, and my 9y.o was such a delight to watch open his prezzies too. The bigger two had fun too, and spent loads of time help Dawson with his presents - was so much fun.

And I can sigh a huge sigh of relief now that all the shopping has been done and all smalls have got what they wanted and are all happy :)
Ben's bike was a roaring success, so well worth all the hassle and stress lol

Cant believe its over for another year tho haha, Hogmanay partaaayy next !!!

xxxx
 
Happy New Year Ladies, babies bumps and tots

Hope everyone is well

Liz -hope work is not stressing you too much, growing two babies is strssful enough! Any news on the redundancy front? Maybe could be a blessing in disguise - you did want to be a SAHM and with three little ones, it probably work out cheaper than paying 3 x childcare costs!

Any news Chelsie? that witch get you

Got a scan date yet Nat?
Still find it hard to believe you are nearly all having more babies lol - feel kind of left out haha -not that we are having any more EVER! lol

Gemma - I am so jelaous you are planning a home birth, I feel so frustrated that mine never happened, hope it works out for you xxx


xxxxxxxxxx
 
Hi Donna.
2 months and still no sign of the witch!!! Lol. Still haven't done another test in about week n half now lol xxx
 
So excited!!

We have booked our hols yay!!
We are off to Rhodes in June - myself fam and daughters friend; and sis inlaw fam and also the dreaded MIL (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh lol)

My sis in law had already invited her, prob mentioned it to my hubby who forgot!!! So when she mentioned her coming along, I just 'presumed' that she'd be travelling with them from London and staying with them!! No way should we have the stress of making sure she has her passport, ticket gets to the airport on time etc, then spend the holiday living with her. TOO much to bear!!!
So at least she is staying with them, I can easily slope off on my own with Dodge if she is really annoying me, sit at the opposite end of a huge table lol or immerse myself in stuff with the boys or the girls. I hope!!!!
And they are only going for 10 days, us for 14 so at least 4 days without her haha - I AM really looking forward to the holiday, and spending time with the rest of them, just not MIL haha -but I am a pro at being in her company and managing to keep as far away as possible lol
Have already told hubby, he and bro-in-law are watching the little ones and me, sil, Lou and Lauren are hitting Faliraki one night lol Lou will be almost 18 and Lauren will be 18 already! Mil NOT invited!

We got married in Rhodes 4 years ago, so we are going to visit the Spa we were married in, will be so nice to see it all again - I AM SO excited!!!!! 22 weeks to go lol


xxxxxxxxxx
