Hi everyone, it was fine I guess. They noted everything I requested and will discuss it at the next board meeting in April so I won't know till then.

 

[A3my]

modo - At least you've got the hard part out of the way by asking, even though its a bit of a wait to find out! Fingers crossed

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy I hope you have a good first day back at work

Modo: How did it go with your boss?

Maybe: What a shame about the anklet! Can it be fixed? You should def get a weekend away, the kids will have a great time without you, don't worry! Did you speak to your MIL about the vitamins? I love PJ days

H&F I hope you had a lovely meal . . . Dave should def buy you the tops

We had a nice day, didn't do much but it was nice Steve went for his hair cutting so Oliver and I wondered around the shops for a bit, and got a few more jobs done. The weather was lovely this morning but then rained while we were out, typical Oh, and Steve loved his print, YAY!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Modo you've done all you can When are you due to go back to work?

 

[A3my]

Quiet in here! Sarah I'm so pleased steve loved the print. Kerry and I just got cards, we both went with the same theme of we can get through this together in the words

At the moment the thing I am dreading most about going back to work is everyone looking at me and being sort of the center of attention with it being my first day back. I HATE stuff like that. I just want to crawl quietly in and evenyone act like I've never been away. I know I am a wierdo I'll be feeling like I've left part of myself behind at least he's with my mum tomorrow. she's never had him before but I know she loves him and so does my dad so he'll be ok there

amy - good luck today!!! thinking of you!

sarah - glad u had a nice day and steve liked his print

h&f - i find men do not get hints most of the time did you buy the tops yourself?

emera - hope you are better

modo - glad you told your boss!

frufru - thinking of you

well danny's worried about going to uk in case the plane crashes or explodes we are deciding today whether or not to book. flights are £400 & accomodation £215 in a 4* called radisson blu in the centre of leeds. we shall see. going to try and find a suit for my interview today. am going to drag my mum with me. right off to get ready for the school run. to all xxx

 

[hope&faith09]

Amy - really hope today goes ok.

Maybe - No I didnt but I found one that looks gorgeous! I also tried on a dress for a christening in a size 16 and it was too big I am very happy so going back to try it on in a 14 today! If I fit into a 14 I will be so so happy! My target jeans can now almost pull up but still 2 1/2 stone to go till I hit my personal goal! I do wonder if I will ever be happy as I now seem obsessed with losing!

Sarah - Glad steve liked the print!

Right I am off to get ready to go out to the shops!

 

[maybebaby3]

h&f - i also think there's a fine line between losing weight well and becoming obsessive with it.

i received the amber teething necklace today. but they sent me a bracelet instead of my necklace i have emailed them. at least owen's arrived. danny hates it i think we're going to bite the bullet and book our trip to leeds danny is stopping obsessing about plane crashes hopefully!

Hi everyone :wave:

We went to Scotland for the weekend to visit my family. You know how generally most babies like to sleep on long car journeys? Well I don't own one of that type of baby He did sleep, but for no more than half of the journey, despite us leaving at 5am to head up there and heading home on Sunday around 7pm. It wasn't too bad though, and it was lovely to see my family. Oliver seems to like to look around a new place and look at new people but he cries if they try to interact with him before he has had a chance to weigh them up! Thankfully after about ten minutes he was happy to go to any of them.

Had a few mummy friends round this morning with their babies which was lovely, and they seem to have tired Oliver out as he has been asleep since 12:50. Think he is still catching up from the weekend though, and he has a bit of a cold too.

Someone asked about play group developments. A woman from the council is coming to see me on Wednesday next week to talk to me about it. Will let you all know how it goes.

Have a nice afternoon everyone. I'm offto read through the last few pages and catch up with what you have all been up to over the weekend.

 

[modo]

Amy: I hope your day went fine

Muddles: I hope you had a nice time in Scotland

Maybe: that's so annoying about being sent a bracelet instead of a necklace. Are you going to return it?

Sarah: I am due back on the 7th April but I also have some holiday time so it will probably mid to late April.

 

[Frufru]

Hiya, just another quickie from me.

Today was ok, tough, but ok. I don't think 4 hours broken sleep helped thank you Joni To cut a long story short the inquest has been adjourned for the time being pending more information.

Maybebaby - that is exactly what happened when I ordered my Dark Cherry necklace It seems too much of a co-incidence that they have made the exact same error twice with the same item, I wonder if there is an error with their website or stock control/organisation

Sorry for not replying properly to everyone, I am feeling quite drained so off to bed shortly.

Oh Amy for tomorrow and to you all for being so lovely

 

[emera35]

Sorry to only be on here grumbling at the moment, but i still feel rubbish My ear infection turns out to be a staphycoccal infection, really common apparently, but the doctor said some strains can be resistant to antibiotics. I'm now on mega strong antibiotics to try and get rid of it. I'm also now totally paranoid about touching my ears, as staphycoccus can cause really serious food poisoning (as in intensive care serious) if it contaminates food. Obviously i'm careful anyhow, i've got health and safety qualifications etc. But still, it makes me just want to tape my ears up until they are better! I'm so run down i think, i've got mouth ulcers, and i feel generally awful, and my "IBS" (yeah right, whatever, i think doctors are just lazy with diagnosing things myself) has come back, i've not had that since well before i was pregnant. I think i must just not be taking enough care of myself Anyway, so i'm having this week and next off work, and OH is taking the strain with Roh whenever he's not working. He's been fantastic, he cooked me dinner last night, nice and plain as i was still feeling dodgy from the sick bug. And then he made me stay shut in the bedroom until 1.30pm today and just brought me things if i wanted them, but wouldn't let me get out of bed I do feel a little better after that enforced rest. Anyway, OH has the next 2 days off, and he's promised to look after me, what a star! Oh, look, i'm not all grumbles!

Bleh, i never remember having such a run of bad health, rubbish! Wish my body would sort itself out! It better do, i bought so many vitamins, probiotics, and herbal thingys and rehydration drinks today that if it doesn't i think i must be beyond help!

 

[emera35]

FruFru - Hugs to you!

 

[maybebaby3]

frufru - that is a bit strange that it is the same mistake. i emailed them and they're sending me the necklace and i'm returning the bracelet. the guy who emailed asked me about flying to gibraltar as they are thinking of flying here instead of malaga for their summer hols! how random eh?

modo - yeah i am returning the bracelet!

emera - glad your OH is pampering you get well soon!!!

well it is all booked, we're off to leeds on 26th feb for 3 nights watch out shops here i come! it cost a bit more than the 1st quote on the internet as we had to pay extra for hold bags. i also managed to find a suit from NEXT for my interview and it's a size 12 all in all a good day (apart from getting soaked by the torrential rain )

 

[maybebaby3]

it's too quiet in here!!! where are you all

 

[Sarahwoo]

Evening!

FruFru I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight.

Emera you poor thing! I'm glad your OH is looking after you, he sounds like a super star I really hope you're feeling better soon!

Maybe YAY for booking Leeds!! And YAY for the suit too - well done! Fingers crossed for the interview!

Amy I really hope today went well

I've been 'working' all night . . . . phew! Its going really well though! I've taken 8 new bookings in the past two weeks . . . . which I'm really pleased about! So I've been sending contracts and samples, sending emails, working out what I need to buy, etc etc. I'm really pleased with how its going though, its looking promising!! We went shopping today and Steve got a new phone, so he's a happy bunny. He's gone out playing snooker so I've been able to get lots done

Well I'd better get some more done . . . . phew!!

xx

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah- well done with all the bookings :yipee :

 

[Sarahwoo]

Thanks Maybe!! I'm really pleased

Emera I LOVE your new piccie!! Roh is soooo cute!!

Argh I have so much to do I have about a million things I need to put on ebay Its too late now though so I think I'll do some tidying up and laundry before bed and do the ebaying tomorrow night. Us mums never stop do we? I think I need to get myself a bedtime routine I spend my evenings 'working' (I always say 'working' when I talk about my self employed stuff because it doesn't feel like real work ) and by the time I go to bed my head is buzzing and it takes me ages to get to sleep

 

[maybebaby3]

sarah - a bedtime routine how about a glass of wine, bubble bath, a good book in bed?

 

[Sarahwoo]

Maybe that sounds divine but . . . . I'd be pissed on one glass of wine, Oliver would soooo wake up if I got in the bath, and if I read in bed I wake Oliver

I was thinking a cup of hot chocolate and half an hour of ironing
