Ann - not sure I remember but I really get pains at ov time now, and periods are pretty heavy and uncomfortable too :-/ I became aware of my cycle more thru how fussy Dylan became - my milk supply dips around Ov and just before AF!
Ummm our SS gift is here too thank you - stunningly wrapped!!!!!! My cards all went out last week so hopefully are reaching you - my friend at work did them she's a printmaker and I thought they were just lovely
Pip - we are loving cbeebies pantos too!!!!
Claire - we went on a Santa train it was lovely! Dylan was a star as he loves trains - chooo chooo was all you could get out of him and the whole family went, great day! Though another local one was not so good - their Santa was removed after telling two kids they had lovely come to bed eyes - wtf!!!???
Moggy - yay for baby josh arrival!!!!! My friend who was about to start IVF recently got pg she has had her scan and all is well. Starting to feel ready myself now as have preggy SIL over from oz too!!!
As for us we are manic - we go away to the lakes tomorrow and packing packing packing like mad. Dylan has a horrid cough (what's new in winter lol...!) so is sleeping worse than usual. I am totally ready for a week with family to help out haha!!!
Dylan has opened some presents already, as we had an early Christmas with my brother/GF and grandparents that aren't coming to the lakes. He's also had about 4 Santa presents from the various Xmas parties / Santa trains etc we've been to! His favourite Santa was thankfully his dad hahaha! Did I mention last week we had a netmums Xmas party? This is why I'm a bit behind on packing etc lol. We hired a hall and me and my mum had a craft table for the kids, there was a buffet, party games, the reverend did an interactive nativity story, fancy dress, and most importantly a chat with Santa, professional photo, and gift! And Ash was Santa hahahaha! He was great tho! We kitted out a grotto in the morning, he had a plush Santa suit so should last years, and one of the other dads brought his fancy camera to take piccies (free!). It was awesome
What else have we done.... Had a photoshoot while the Oz lot are over again courtesy of MIL - will upload some pics Pip as you won't have seen on fb, Dylan is much less compliant now hes walking so it was hard work for the photographer lol!!!
Hope everyone is happy and healthy - may have limited access to web in the middle of nowhere so will say an early merry Christmas in case! You are all wonderful and i feel so lucky for your continued friendship xxxxxxx
