Just read back, Brilliant Slinki     

And sorry to hear that Carn 

One of my two cats (liquorice) just fell into the bath. OMG, lightening speed getting out and she's not speaking to me as if it's my fault.

They don't like water do they?

No, but you know what killed the cat.

Hi Cinds, hope you're having a lovely holiday.

Just to let you know daughter had scan today it's a girl.....

So excited....thats one of each for me!!....

Aww that's lovely Lal  

I want a wee girl, I've got 2 boys and would love all the girly stuff next.

I've not been around much. I had a total emotional episode the last few weeks and went from happy to sad to angry to numb then back to happy again. Why am I happy? 

On the 1st of August I gave birth to my gorgeous boy Zachary. 4 weeks early but 7lbs and totally healthy and happy. 

I'm enjoying a wee bit of me time just now while my husband watches him and the other kids are out of my face 

 OMG Cags congratulations,welcome to the world baby Zachary....Details please Cag's,we need more details,who does he look like?,how is Conor with him?,how are the girls and your older son with him?,how are you feeling now?.

He looks like Conor who is taking his big brother duties VERY seriously. Only home a day and he's like supernanny. If I need a nappy he's running shouting "I do it". At the moment he's sitting watching him sleep telling everyone else to shhhhhhhhh. The older ones are delighted coz I was a total moody cow the last few weeks but equally delighted at having him here at last. I feel fine thanks. Tired but happy. I might even have a wee dram later. 

Has anyone heard from Suzy? She was due same time as me 

Many congratulations Cagney, to you and your family. Welcome to the world baby Zachary.

Lovely news, lal.

Cag's I am delighted for you and your family,babies change the dynamics in such a lovely way ,bless Big Bro Conor,he's only a bubba too but trying to do his big bro bit,that's so lovely....Did you just spontaneously go into prem labour Cag's?,it's scary when it happens but thank god the baby and you are well...I haven't saw Suzy around tbh Cag's,let's hope all is well eh...You take it easy,have a wee dram you deserve it,give Zachary a snuggle for me.xxx

Thanks Yogi 

I was weeding the back garden when I went into labour. Wasn't funny at the time but funny now. It took me ages to get down on my knees to do it (after asking the kids a hundred times to do it I got pissed off and did it myself). I was nearly done too. When I was in the hospital I remember shouting at the kids to get the rest done before I got home.  I've never gone full term Lee. Always early. Always healthy though. Conor's only 2 but he's a whizz with a baby wipe  

I'm gonna PM Suzy just now. Last I heard she was confined to bed. 

Cagney that DID deserve a thread of it's own!!

Congrats to you all 

Congrats Cagney ... that is fabulous news

and Lal - congrats on your full set

Pets are part of the family and when you lose one it's hard. You were there for her though so she wasn't alone 

Congrats Lal 

Oh god no I don't start threads 

Thanks  and Rexi...thanks 

was just going to say that's worthy of its own thread.. brilliant news Cagney, congratulations ! 

I'm dog sitting and I know nothing about dogs!  

She's keeps licking everything and I've had to barricade off half my kitchen because she's into everything and I'm afraid she might eat something she shouldn't.

I've only had her 2 hours so far and I'm knackered.

Cagney that news certainly is worthy of a thread of it's own. A huge congratulations from me 

Arrived home to be greeted by a torrential downpour and a thunderstorm 

Really????  I saw this on Twitter.

  She didn't even try to make herself sound less stupid by saying she meant an elevator.

  I know.  She was maybe just having a very blonde moment.

A week to go to my holibobs YAY!  I start on Friday night 

Are you going any where Sprout?

I'm currently in bed with an inflatable crocodile.  A joke for when Mr C gets in from the pub later 

Nah, I'm not going any where Cinds. I'm just so much looking forward to the break from work 

And LOL with the croc 

That'll be nice Sprout, pottering about at your leisure. 

Yep, catching up on stuff that's been neglected cos I'm on here every night  and just generally chilling  

Cinds, someone I know informs me that that programme you mentioned in this fred a while ago on Sky Atlantic is on this week (About Newcastle) Can't flippin remember the name of it though  

I lost 3lbs at slimming world tonight .................I'm quite pleased but felt it should be more.

Oh well done sooz

I hate when that happens Sooz.  Maybe your weight loss will be more fortnightly than weekly?  That happened the first time I went to SW, not losing much on the week I'd been good then losing it on the weeks I'd been bad so I thought I was doing great and started having more bad weeks than good and then we realised what was going on.

I keep saying I'm starting it again but never get round to it

Oh, I forgot to say well done, of course......it's just I know how you feel when you've been so good and don't get the results you want

I've developed a pineapple habit . I'm on about four packs a day .

Urban Secrets with Alan Cumming.  I haven't watched the 2 I have recorded yet, I'm working my way through all of the BB's at the moment.  Is it the final this week?

I'm partial to a bit of pineapple chunk too.
