Popcorn Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hi everyone! I've tried to find my old thread just to say Hi to you all, but can't find it. I'm NEVER going to catch up on everything am I It takes me until 4pm to even get dressed, nevermind have the luxury of sitting down to read missed threads. Anyway, just wanted to pop in to say hi to keep my foot in the door, so to speak. Gone but not forgotten I hope If somebody could order me a G&T in the bar, I'll be along sooner or later. Hope you are all well and have been enjoying this melting heat (ugh - too hot for me) Looking forward to August get together. Probably the first time I will be able to have conversation with anyone too. Big love to everyone...I'm REALLY missing you xxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Missing you too! It's not the same without you! Keep your chin up, chicken and come and say hello to us all when you've got a spare minute. Big hugs! Love Kate xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Hiya Gina! There's def. no time to read the forum much when you have a newborn, but of course you're still a well loved member! Just look in now & then when you can, like today. Hope you're enjoying Stefan, and looking after yourself too. Wish you lived just down the road, you could pop round for a cuppa. Meanwhile, have you thought of joining any new mum's groups, maybe your health visitor would know of one. I found the National Childbirth Trust group invaluable, and have made lifelong friends. At the time, it just meant I got out of the house sometimes, and had adult contact. Not a whole conversation of course, because either a baby interrupted, or my brain couln't manage whole sentences! Might be ages before I eventually meet you (all 3 ) but I'll always be thinking of you. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Look at this - two posts in a week! Little Stefan is asleep - phew! - and Darren is off work so I have a spare few mins. Sheila - good advice about the mum's group. I'm going to find one locally soon now I'm getting better from section and can get about more. My antenatal yoga group have been fantastic. We get togetheer once a week and they've really pampered me (we pamper each pther really!) I've never eaten so many double choc chip cookies Weather is blummin boiling is't it! It's melting point here. Even the chooks are spread-winged out on the grass today. I was a bit shocked at first as Thelma had a leg sticking right up in the air and I thought a fox had got her What are you all up to this weekend then?

Lesley Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi Gina - nothing much beacuse it is going to get even hotter - some temps. up to 35 I'm working at the moment......... er... well, I was Farmers' Market tomorrow - we'll go very early and then lurk about in the shade inside. We were going to go to the Royal Show but they've decided not to have any poultry this year so we decided they could............. Plenty of clearing to do here but not until the weather cools down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 That's great about the yoga, Gina. Perhaps Thelma was giving it a go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 nice to see you back on the forum Gina I don't seem to be here much these days it's taking me a while to settle into the new routine! My weekend will mean getting up at 4:50 going to work and back! Late shift starts on Tuesday for 3 days then off for three whole days!! Can I look after Stefan for a while - I'd be less knackered I know it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi Gina Enjoy your little man, I wish I'd sprinkled fairy dust on mine to keep them tiny a little longer People kept asking me about routines don't think I ever managed to get one of those, and we all survived look after yourself, karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Andrew, you can seek solace when you get up in the early hours and think of me and Stefan up and about too with the early birds. I'll send you a telepathic 'good morning'! You're more than welcome to come over and do a night shift for me though Buffie - sod the housework. Your house can't possibly look as bad as mine at the minute. I hope Kim and Aggie don't find out about me - it would make an excellent 'How clean is your House' programme! I'll be over to you Lesley to lurk about in the shade this afternoon. Much too hot for me to even think about stepping out of the house. The fan is working overtime in the kitchen as I type!

Mrs Frugal Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hello Gina!! Lovely to see you. Hope you're having a nice peaceful morning as it's way to hot to have any hassles today! Take it easy and don't forget to nibble those little baby toes for me! See you! xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 HI Gina How wonderful to hear from you - I often think of you when I am walking the woggles at 5.30am - wondering if you are asleep or not Now I know you might be awake (in body, if not in mind!) I will say hi to you (and to you Andrew)!! Are you able to make the omlet get together on 19th August? I hope so! Love Melxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 I have the get together down on the calendar, and will be coming! I'm building up to going by trying to get out and about with Stefan a bit more now. I had no idea it would be so scary taking a 5 week old out for an afternoon.....what a wimp eh?!?! So nice to be back for a short while at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 I remember those days Gina, just do it in your own time. You'll have loads of baby minders at the Omlet do, we'll juts bring him back to you for feeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
