oh yep Janey


it's becoming common knowledge


ahem, clears throat for the announcement



daughter's expecting her first at the end of March

we're going over in April to see them


I guess that also means that we'll be making the trip once or twice a year in future, unless we can persuade them to move back here.




Do you think I'm expecting too much if I think sprog will be sleeping throught the night at about 2 weeks old :)))))))))))))

errrrrr



after that descripton, do I really want to see you at midnight* on some train station???




* with my luck, that'll be the ETA!

I'm at my best at midnight! It's 8am with the inside-out clothing you gotta watch out for. ;)

Maybe you could persuade the sprog to make an early entrance and have it all sorted out by the time you arrive?

maybe the railway police will have sent you away to put your cothes on right way round!





Well, if it was mine, not only would sprog be sleeping through the night, but it would toilet-trained, and bringing grandma tea in bed!

Oh My Gosh, Janey - WHAT is holding you together?!!

I just want to eat, like I used to, when I had a teenage boys' appetite - only about a month ago - seems like forever!

Sigh

I poked myself in the eyeball with a Christmas tree decoration on Saturday. It flamin' HURTS. A LOT.

My actual eyeball is swollen, so everytime I blink, it causes pain. PAH! I've got to face going to work in a little while with no make-up, I'm gonna get some strange looks from the kids at school when I walk in with a bright red eye, oh, and the other thing I forgot to mention, I've broken out in acne. Yes, ACNE. A woman of 40 with a bright red swollen eye and teenage spots - and a limp. I danced so much the other night (something my poor, tired, ageing body's just not used to) that I appear to have gained some kinda dodgy limp when I walk. I look like an extra from the "Thriller" video.

Form an orderly queue fellas.....

;o)

sorry, I can't help it



roflol!!!!!!!!!



How did school go??????????????????????????

Hey Heidi, there must be some place where they're auditioning for The Hunchback of Notre Dame !!!




Am not roflol Sylvia because I may not get back up again!

Cx.


~~~~waves to Janey and .............runs like the wind!

Hey Sylvia, Just discovered you are older than me. Was beginning to think I was the oldest old crone on these boards. Seem to be surrounded by youn'uns.

Just re read that!! Nope not saying you are an old crone, just more elderly than me. Whooo hooo.

By the way I have bunions!! Ever tried wearing nice shoes with bunions. Ever been through the, I will wear these #!!@** shoes. Ever tried streeeeeeeetching, and pulling and pushing. And the unpleasant sight of bits of bony flesh sticking out at the side of the shoes.

Now combine the horrors of bunions and a very large proboscis, and you will see I too have plenty to whinge about. And no I don't wear my shoes on my nose!! Inherited that from my father's side of the family. Bog ugly let me tell you!!

Hi Aunty


so I'm an old crone now am I???


you didn't succeed in digging yourself out of that one!


I only have a small bunion .................................. but it got irritated this summer, and my foot swelled to twice its size. Try getting ANY shoes on that!




sylvia

Well I have two, one on each foot actually!! One I have made to retreat quite a bit by constantly pulling my toe out at an angle. The other refuses to budge.

It is the result of wearing stilletto heels during my childhood. What we women suffer in the cause of fashion.

I can also add three gnarled, knobbly toes, which have been broken at different times in my life and grown back au naturel!!

Hey I'm doing good in the whinging stakes.

And don't worry about being a crone. It is one of the most sought after roles in the plays and pantomimes!!!

And now I must be off to work. Oh noooo, I feel another whinge coming on. Why am I working at my age. I should be retired and sitting at home in my granny rocking chair. No don't answer that question. It's either work or murder the OH!!!

Oh

I make sure the OH goes out

...... he's retired but still has 2 offices, 2 phones and 2 computers out at the university!


He goes out there .... and I stay home in the warmth!


:)))



Gawd ................ I used to wear 3" stilettos regularly, and quite often 4", back in the 60s! And that involved standing at lab benches, as well as dances.


and I was 5' 8½" to start off with!!!

School was ok, considering. But I'm SURE I saw the little darlings laughing behind my back. Kids can be so cruel sometimes....

Rather like The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, I have to iron my shirt, on a wok.

It is very interesting. The number of personages frequenting these boards who are employed in the education sector.

I hate it when I squish a thread, so I will go away!!

Deletes next post and runs away.

Anyone seen the original whinger of this post recently,or is she avoiding me?

Shes been too quiet for my liking,whats she planning now?

viv;:)

Viv


surely you know better than to ask what Janey is plotting :)))


Just wait and see


............ and start shaking in your shoes!


~~~~Janey




sylvia

Make that shaking in my slippers Sylvia,
Im ready to go off to my warm bed.

byeeeeeeeeeee

sleep tight

That'd be right. Leave me to face the music, wondering what I've done wrong!!

Tentative small wave in general direction of Canada. Might as well include you all.

I'm in the mire for deleting my post, regardless.

~~~~~ Aunty


which post did you delete?
