TBx

Dyous know what Christoff. Am exactly the same meself with my baby daughter. Delightful. Gets me up every mornin', dribblin', makin' funny noises and laffin' at herself, especially when said funny noises don't come from the talkin' end. Oh the happy memories I have of her trappin' me beneath the bedclothes before emitting one of her charming smells.

I have told her, however, that at 29 and with a large boyfriend and a PhD it's time all that stopped. Cute as it may be.

I'm with yous, mate.

Clodagh.xx

TB - dont be teasing me! LOVE karting.. a chipped front tooth and far too many bruises in the past should indicate how competitive i am!

And thinking of your ways... Hazel..big hugs, take it steady and get the badger retrained to look after you..hope you start to be on the up again soon.. x

mSc x

Clodgah.. please send out warnings before you post..snuck on here and now all ive got is a `what you larfing at?!`.. i cant explain!

mSc x

BTW Christoff. Am LOVING the pic of Noah in what looks like charge of the motor. Sweet or what.

And it reminds me of the Left-hand drive car I followed along the N6 to Galway, with its diminutive driver and a large Alsatian in the passenger seat. One of the funniest sights I've ever had the great fortune to witness.

In fact, it always makes me titter when I see a police DOG VAN. One a these days I'm goin' to rush up and make a citizen's arrest on the bobby therein, on the grounds he's obviously hijacked it from its Alsatian owner.

Clodagh.xx

Just 'ad a quick lurk az am running late.....

Geronia

PS CLP - Noot another WHITE Ferrari???????????

Hi mSc

Will read fb when I get home, can't access from work.

Best baby sick memory (& this could earn me my first trip to the modders mat) after feeding Babe while sitting in bed, he brought quite a bit back straight into my OH's ear as he lay sleeping beside us! Never seen him wake up so quick.

Happy Days!

Seza x

He just looks so cute!!!

Sorry I haven't been around a lot, the Togs convention was superb and I am slowly recovering. I have noticed on my facebook that there a huge number of TOGs and Bloggs.... I do hope we all get together at Longleat.

Hells x x

Aggghhhh! I remember those beautiful days even though it was 18 years ago. Unfortunately the whiff of smells I get from my baby now seem to revolve around overpowering deodrant/aftershave, hormones and booze. Think I would rather have the hour long smell of honey and bananas. Enjoy every minute Chistos.

Morning......

Chris - lovely photo.....
My boy now thinks he can drive (at 21 months) mind you, when we stop somewhere he wants to get in the front, then sits there making driving noises, flicking switches and usually turning the radio on and off!
Oh and he's worked out the central locking buttons on the key fob.....if you press lock twice the car beeps.........hours of fun!!

We're well passed the siyhase, but have moved on to the wiping snot and messy face on legs, arms, shoulders.......don't think I keep anything clean for for than 5 mins!!!

ebx

that should be sicky phase btw!

ebx

Your blogs crack me up so much. I'm sure there's going to be plenty of fun and laughter as Noah grows up. Good times

Looking forward to your book

Liz xxx

Hi Chris , Lovely picture of Noah , made me smile.lucky boy.
think he s going to be just like his Dad car crazy.
love to all .x

Hi & Bye Guys.

Am just off to my other site to see a lady who thinks her bungalow has been decorated while she was out shopping. She doesn't know who did it or how they got in but she just wants me to see it.

Hopefully I'll be back later on, if I'm not send out the rescue party!

Seza xx

PS wigh someone would do that to my house!!

OMG!!!

I have just had a bouquet of flowers delivered to work - thank you soooooo much Bridge!! Yes, you have reduced me to tears, but tears of happiness at your kindness and thoughtfulness.

Totally taken aback, gob-smacked, and wearing a huge smile, as per your instructions!!

First drinks are on me in Brizzle!!!

Cheryl x x x x

Hiya
Hope everyone is well.

Deev, am just back on my Ryvitas !! Hope you are ok today xx

Can't make Barry Manilow,as i will be flying back from my hollibobs.Would have been fun though.

Chrissie, you made me laugh about the Osmonds !! , you know i will fight you for Donny ;-)))

Overcast but warm today , way toooo busy for my liking ,

MC x

One of the many expenses of parenthood they don't tell you about - driving around in your car for ages because it's the only time the little angels drop off to sleep!!

Right, am back. Composure regained .....

Baby sick - ewwwwww!!! In fact, any form of bodily fluids not pertaining to me - nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! My squeamishness was one major factor to the decider not to pro-create. That and the fact that I love shoes and handbags so much .... sorry for my honesty.

But as said before, I love love love being an auntie and a God Mother!!

CLP - fast forward 18 years and you have your very own "Mini Me Cheauffeur" there for when you and Tash need a lift home from the pub!

Deevs
xxxxxx

I was just wondering, which one of you smells of sick, and which one of poo?

Apparently, according to Dum and Mad, the only time I didn't fall asleep as a bubba was in the car. But then, if you had experienced my dads driving, you would understand why.

Proms info, for those interested, on CLP Bloggers.

MW,a!

Hello all... what a cute photo of Noah! Looks like he's turning into a petrol head just like his daddy. The first time my parents took me to visit my grandma in Scotland, I was nicely strapped into my car seat ready for the long drive from Liverpool, only to end up red face and in a right old strop a little while later cause I was trying to escape!

Hope all is well on this Tuesday lunchtime, it's gorgeous day here in the 'burgh so I'm off to enjoy it!!

Rx

Hi Chris, bloggers and blogettes

Ahhh what a cute ickle chap that Noah is. He looks so cool sat there. 'Elf and saferty note - (no, I'm not a jobs worth, but seeing as ickle humans are very precious cargo) - should the little chap's seat be facing backwards and not forward?

Grey and overcast here in Norfamps, with a few spits and spots in the air.

Good to read that you are back on good form today Deev. You were soooo lucky not to be on naughty mat last nite. And as for Clodagh...bad 'fluence on us all me thinks, makes me LOL all the time. Flowers eh? What a boost for the ego. Remember to flaunt them in front of Mr D tonight with mischief written all over your face.....that'll learn him! Have a great night tonight. Look forward to hearing all about it.

Baby sick ewwww. Those were the days when you couldn't wear anything nice and new without covering yourself in plastic to avoid it, therefore wearing anything nice and new was totally pointless! Banana's are the worst ever!!!

Bondy - glad to hear the job is going well for you despite the commute.

Hello to everyone else complete with hugs to anyone who needs one.

Back in a bit.

Steffi xx

LOL Steffi - now there's food for thought!!

xxxx

Go on.....you know you want to!

xx

And I will!!!

I've just had a visitor ..... Seza bin here! She's lovely!! We had a huge hug and a chat and now she knows I'm not a mad axe-wielding kinda bird!

Thanks Seza - that was sooooo thoughtful of you: I need some drinking straws now so I can play blow football across my desk with them!! ;-)

Yous lot on here are bloody marvellous!

Deevs
xxxxxx

Deev, I presume you are talking about maltesers? Thats not the way to eat them.

Tip your head back, balance said chocolatey treat on pursed lips, blow to lift said chocolatey treat in the air, then catch in mouth. Fun, and no need for special props!

You're all gonna do it now aint ya!!!

MW,a!

Hehehehe ... I knew there was a reason I luv ya Maz!!!

xxx

Just catching up!

Chris, what a great photograph of Noah - he is getting so big. Err, I think Steffi is correct, Noah's car seat should probably be facing backwards - and in the back seat. (I know, a Ferrari does not have a back seat!). Yep, all these rules and regs are a real pain!

When MsS was about 6 years old, and we were parked, she would sit behind the wheel and pretend she was a taxi driver, taking us to the airport and we would say things like "we used to have a wee girl, but she's all grown up now, so we're off on holiday"! We would all roar with laughter and then MsS would get all serious and say ..... "you're not really going on holiday, are you?"!! Could cry just thinking about it!

Cheryl #23: how absolutely lovely of Bridge. You can just tell from this blog what a thoughtful person she is. Enjoy your flowers, they are from a special friend and it doesn't get much better than that.

MC: Couldn't we just both SHARE Donny? Seems like a sensible compromise - and I just know he would love us both! I mean, of course, in a platonic way - he's very happily married ... blah blah!

C x

Oh bless Bridge and Seza.. hope to meet you both one day.. x

And Maltesers..MW`a, gonna have to go get a packet now (one of those big ones..NEVER enough in the small ones!) and try that..could be fun. Esp as when you`ve caught said sweet you then have to keep it in your mouth and suck off all the chocolate before eating the crispy bit (so to speak!). Second thoughts..small packet or i`ll be here til 9 o'clock Friday night!

mSc x

D'ya know wot? This place is smashing.......

You know you gotta have friends
The feelings oh so strong
You gotta to have friends
To make that day last long

Steffi xx

Chrissie - aren't The Osmonds Mormons? And don't they have many wives? Or is that another religion????

Just a thought .....

And yes, this place is fab and very very friendly! And I love it!

Deevs
xxxxx

Cheryl: how lovely that your day is turning out so well. Did Seza just show up as a surprise? If so, nice one!

And yes, the Osmonds are Mormons but they are not allowed more than one wife - this was the case about 100 years ago, and there are still "sects" who do this (why would any man want with more than one wife ....?). But the Mormons of today are married to one person only, and get this - it is for eternity ..... even after death, they are still married.

Told you I was an Osmonds geek!

C xx

OMG!! Imagine not being able to get rid of 'im, even in death ....!!!

Maybe I was thinking of The Monies ..?

I had no idea Seza was going to come here - hence the element of surprise. I have to say, she gives a wonderful hug!

Yes, today is turning out betterererer than yesterdeeee and I've still got Debs The Giggler for supper, so to speak!

Deevs
xxxxx

Hi all

Am happy to report I am safely back home

Diva sorry to say no decorating fairies to share, only fairies that my lady was away with (if that sentence makes sense!) Glad to be of service today. Lunch = v good idea.

Will chat later

Seza x

My sprogs are 15, and 18 (next week) and I still miss the smell of baby sick on my shoulder.

Sniff.

Chris

With a Dad like you he's bound to always have a smile on his face.

Well heading off to Abi Dhabi tomorrow for a week see you guys when I get back. Not sure what to make of Abu Dhabi so any advice would be great even down to the currency they use.

Cheers

Got my 'elf & safertee hat on this afternoon....yawn! Up to my neck in safety data sheets. It's amazing how hazardous everyday cleaning fluids and office stuff is. Did you know that the white stuff you use to cover up mistakes beginning with T, should be kept in a Steel Chemical Cabinet cos it's so flammable!!

Also, screen wash concentrate - deadly stuff. I know alot of this H&S rigmarole is common sense, but a home audit from time to time is not a bad idea either, speshly when we've got ickle one's and oldun's around.

So now, there's a big pile of stuff in the middle of our warehouse which is either a) out of date b) no longer useful or c) so b****y dangerous it MUST go!

Onwards and upwards.

Steffi xx

Ah NO Steffi.

You mean to tell me that when Damian painted that stuff on 'is teeth before auditionin' for Ireland's Got Talent, and gettin' in such a lather he had to go outside for a fag, the reason the tent blew up wasn't down to Tinkerbell the fire-eatin' fairy he was stood next to?

Wait til I see him, what an eejit.

Clodagh.xx

PS. Adam. Haven't done Abby Dabby but have done Dubai. Ergo my advice is keep your hand on your ha'penny and don't drink the Guinness.

xx

Back again

Glad to here I've passed the Bloggers Hug Test!

xx

Hehe! You sure did Seza!!

Well you wonderful lot, I'm orf to meet Debs in a mo ... will give all your love!

Ads - say howdie to Fred Flintstone for me in Abu Dhabu Doobeee!

Best advise I;ve ever been given:-

Work to live, not the other way round!

Stay safe (in hi-viz vests??)

Deevs
xxxxxxx

Best advice?

You can always add some more but you can't take it out!

JG good I reckon.
Love to watch the different reactions with dogs and beaches/waves. Always good for a laugh!

Beeza xx

i wish got work tommorow too!!!

I've only seen Finlay swim once, out into a lake after some ducks! He won't go out of his depth in the sea, and we tend to keep him on his long lead or we'd never get him out!

What about you JG, been for a dip?

xx

JG - we have one of those mile long training leads! Let Biggs off once and it was going dark before he condescended to come back to us!!! Never again!!! Decided to make friends with everyone on the beach before dragging his paws back to us!!! Saying that - he could be half way to Ireland before the lead pulls him to a halt!!!

Beeza xx

Definately not Seza!

Beez, I think his lead is 10 meters

Got one from our trainer JG - bit of a bum to untangle but the one we use is 50 meters long and we both try and run to extend - well he is a bonkers spaniel!!!

Beeza xx
