h&f - how's your dad?

 

[maybebaby3]

just realised owen is 1 yr 5 months today time flies!!!

 

[Sarahwoo]

My mum and dads little doggie dIed today They are on holiday and their little doggie (Oliie Doggie - was Oliver before baby Oliver came along ) was at the kennels. He was fine when they dropped him off, and had a lovely run around at the kennels last night and then died in his sleep He was only 11

 

[emera35]

Awww, poor doggie! At least he had fun and went peacefully, my nan's dogs who i loved both were very ill before they died, and they were both 11 too, its much worse when its like that. Horrible for your parents for it to happen whilst they are away though.

 

[Sarahwoo]

Thanks Emera We said exactly the same thing. My parents other dog passed away just before Oliver was born, and he got really old and sick. Its def better than he just went peacefully. He always loved it at the kennels too, he got all excited when ever they took him there. I think mum and dad are pretty upset though. I am sure they will still enjoy their holiday.

Its so sad when pets die

 

[A3my]

emera - gulp!!! thank goodness the lid was on

sarah - I'm so sorry to hear about your parents dog it is awful when pets die as they are memebers of the family on a brighter note - steves titties

maybe - lucky for your MIL!! Alex also pokes my eyes out when he says eyes Happy 1 yr 5 months to Owen time sure does fly! That trifle sounds tempting, I have the urge for trifle now!

we went out to our local for tea tonight as we had some good news - Holly passed the kent test we have here and can go to the same grammar school as Emily it was so disappointing though, the food is usually brilliant but it was terrible! They had a new chef who looked like a complete pleb but appearances aside it took ages for the food to come out (along with smoke coming out of the kitchen and the bar man constantly disappearing to help the new chef) and when it did the portions were really small. The chips were so deep fried there was no potato left, my girls had nachos and the cheese wasnt melted and the sour cream was liquid I wouldve said something but I had to go as Alex was too tired as it had taken so long. £62 for crap food - very annoying

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy thats a lot to pay for a crappy meal Well done to Emily though, thats great! How is Holly getting on at school, does she like it?

Oliver had one of those nights last night where he just wanted boobie the WHOLE night . . . or at least it certainly felt that way Then he had a leaky nappy, I think because he'd had SO much milk! So I need this morning!!

I really need to try to get some house work done today. Its so hard to get stuff done with Oliver - he just undoes everything I'm doing normally Steve looked after hm yesterday while I went to meet a bride, I was only gone about an hour, whn I got back Steve was like well I tried to do some stuff, but its SO hard! Welcome to my world!!! He did fit the new letterbox but I think he'd found it a challenge! So I was quite glad in a way that he might appreciate how difficult it is to get everything done and look after Oliver at the same time.

Right, I'm off to put the kettle on

 

[maybebaby3]

amy - well done Holly! you have 2 clever girls there!!!

sarah - my parents had to put their cat down last week as he was getting worse and worse and couldnt even stand up. it's so sad when a pet dies. they have had baby since i was 13 and he was 1 1/2, so he was 21. pretty good going for a cat. he was too old and his body just gave up they buried him in the garden. the kids were gutted but were a bit comforted that 'baby cat' is now in heaven.

have had an awful day today. i had diahroea (no idea how to spell it) at work and had to keep running to the loo, the worst thing was having to ask the male teacher to keep an eye on my class as i had to run to the loo 5 times in an hour i feel a bit better now but it was a struggle. bless my mum she stayed with me til 8pm to help with the kids as dan is on til midnight tonight. oh crap i just realised i have left a file of work in the box of my moped. it's just outside the flat but i dont like the thought of running out and leaving the kids here even though it'd be for 1min and it's 20m away! will have to get it in the morning and not do the work now

 

[emera35]

Maybe, thats no fun! Hope you feel back to normal for tomorrow

Amy - That meal sounds terrible, i hate getting crappy food, especially if its a special occassion. Ah well, i doubt their reputation will survive long if that happens often. Well done to Holly!

Sarah - Hope the coffee helped today!


Well, i had my scan... everything is fine, baby is healthy and normal etc. and....has no boy bits!!! The sonographer was REALLY cagey, and would only say that she couldn't see any boy bits, so provisionally we are having a girl! At least i have a few more scans booked, so i can get them to double check
She was a right pain though and kept going into the most awkward positions, i was there for 2.5 hours, and was actually in the scan for a total of 1.5 hours, in 2 seperate bits. My gods i thought my bladder would rupture!!! Here is a picture

[Sarahwoo]

Awwwww Emera what a lovely piccie! And a provisional girlie Roh will make such a fabby big brother - you can just imagine him been more strict with her than you I'm so pleased for you

Maybe make the most of not been able to do your work and get your feet up!!!

We're in the middle of moving the kitchen around Its one of those jobs that you get half way through and wish you hadn't started

 

[A3my]

sarah - my house is always a tip, I cannot keep up with the mess the children make. Kerry has the cheek to call me lazy but I'd rather just clear up when they're all in bed. I so know those jobs. How's the kitchen change going?

maybe - I had the same problem today i can only imagine how embarassing that must have been! get well soon

EMERAAAAAAAAA - how exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so pleased all is ok with possible little girly bubs I know you were nervous wow what a long scan! my girls were always awkward in scans lovely scan picture

another long day at work for me I was so tired, I think I got food poisoning. My stomach was burning in the night and I was awake from 5am. Then on the way to work I just had to stop at a services (TMI) I was late for work I had the shakes and I was all sweaty. My gut still isnt happy now!

 

[Sarahwoo]

Amy I think it did Steve good to watch Oliver yesterday (for an hour ) and realise that its so hard to get stuff done and look after Oliver at the same time! He never complains though, even when the house is a complete tip. My 'work' room downstairs is an absolute shocker though - its such a dumping ground for other stuff and with all my 'work' stuff too it really is terrible I AM going to sort it though! I'm going to see if my parents will take Oliver one day so I can get stuck in. A lot of it I need to sell though so I can't just throw it away, like I bought a HUGE job lot of ribbon about six years ago - literally like 15 big packing boxes full. I've used a tiny, tiny amount but as much as I know if I was organised I could sell it by the roll I just don't have time, and I NEED the space! So I need to sell it in job lots really. I AM going to have that room sorted though! Its my winter project

The kitchen is more or less done It looks much, much better and wasn't too bad to do. I was just about to start cleaning the oven when Steve said it was half eleven

I hope you're feeling better soon Amy - and you Maybe!!

 

[L-C]

Hi ya

Only just managed to read the past two pages!!

Wow emera what a lovely photo and yay to a provisional girlie that's such great news.

Sarah sorry to hear about Ollie doggy xx

Amy and Maybe I hope you are feeling much better that dodgy tummies aren't funny!!

Well I'm feeling seriously rubbish this time, what a shocker. I sailed through last time with no symptoms, not I seem to have them all. I have my 12 week scan on the 7th Nov so I'm really hoping there will be only the one.

My mum was a twin and has twin cousins and so there were none in my generation and the mw has given me the willies about twins.

The evenings are the worst I can muddle through the day but am good for nothing past tea time.

Must try and get on here more xxx

 

[maybebaby3]

LC if it's any consolation my friend had no morning sickness with her first 3 but baby 4 has her sick all the time and there's only one in there.

emera - congrats on the probable

amy - hope you are better

sarah - good luck with the kitchen move!!!

well i think i may have found a cleaner the mum of a friend of erin's asked her cleaner and she has one slot left. so i'm going to call her in a bit when the kids are in bed and fingers crossed her slot will suit me. it's £7 an hour so it'll set me back £21 a week as i want a 3 hour slot. dan says it's money out the window but he's not the one doing the housework, the most he does is shove the dishes in the dishwasher once in a while. it's a good thing at least he's good at doing the diy!!!

is it just me or is b&b showing a strange time zone?

 

[maybebaby3]

yey i have a cleaner!!!! she is starting a week on monday when i am off for midterm so i can meet her as after that my mum or dan will have to open up for her as i'll be working.

 

[L-C]

phew that's good to hear maybe, did she find a difference with sexes??

yay to a cleaner I would love one xx

 

[maybebaby3]

the only difference she found was she had urine infections with the boys but not with her dd so she thinks this one may be a girl as shes had no infections! shes not had a gender scan yet

 

[A3my]

sarah - great news you got your kitchen sorted. My downstairs is also a project that I need a decent chunk of time for

maybe - fantastic news about the cleaner, that will really help you

LC - poor you I was MS with the girls but none with Alex!

Kerry keeps watching this film called Death Race I had a slow day at work today, I was looking after 35 week twins that are slow bottle feeders. Their mum kept calling them lazy b!tches

 

[Sarahwoo]

Maybe YAY for a cleaner!!! Just make sure you don't do what everyone else I know who has a cleaner does . . . . and clean up 'because the cleaner is coming' My friends mum always made sure the house was spotless before the cleaner came, goodness knows what the cleaner actually did or why she even had one

L-C I hope you're feeling better soon

We went to Harrogate today, my meeting got cancelled because the ladies little boy was poorly. But we had a lovely time in Harrogate, we had lunch at a gorgeous little pub which was lovely and we went to Farrow & Ball and bought paint I have a dresser in the kitchen that I've always wanted to paint, so we're finally getting around to it They have such lovely colours, it took us ages to choose. They had the most amazing wall paper too, it was all hand blocked, I daren't look to see how much it is
