If the murse is wrong, we don't want to be right! 27 days- holy smoke!

Pancake Sunday went really well....too well at one point I felt like one of those third world workers banging out all those pancakes, none of the old dear keeled over so I think we're in the clear We had a stall with Fairtrade products on it and leaflets advertising Fairtrade fortnight which starts soon, I don't know if the kids were promoting or not but we made a nice little amount of money and they're going to decide on a third world project to put the money to (probably buy a pig and some chickens). I work for an International Aid Fund so I can sort it all out for them at work.


Jo, your poor kids how could you deprive them of their pancakes. If they'd come up to their Auntie Kirsteen's I would have given them Mickey shaped pancakes (though a couple of the Mickey's looked like they had a cauliflower ear ) Everyone that I know who's been to Rome has loved it , I'm sure you'll have a fabby time.

A quote "In the Christian calendar, the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent, traditionally a period of fasting. “Shrove” comes from the Roman Catholic practice of confessing one’s sins and being absolved of them, or “shriven”. This takes place on Ash Wednesday. In Brazil and the US it is known as Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday), and in the United Kingdom more often as Pancake Day because flour, eggs, milk, and butter were used up in the making of pancakes."

It doesn't matter that we had our pancakes today as I'm Church of Scotland, not nearly so many rules ....in fact they over the moon if you just turn up on a Sunday.

After all this holy talk I need to go and have a big G & T and tell some dirty jokes to get myself back to normal

Is he still cross? No amount of sex would uncross him. He's not being super sweet. Plus we found out that our tax return won't be even half of what we thought. My working has bumped us into the next tax bracket. Like Jenna says, just another great argument for staying home.

So I assume he is still a little cross then What do you do work wise? Yeah become a SAHM

Have a great time!!! When are you going, for how long, etc..... Details, my friend!!!

Nothings booked yet, but we're going to go for about 3 or 4 days. I went when I was little and can remember crying because I didn't want to climb all the steps at the Trevi (sp?) fountain, that's why the girls will stay behind We did Paris a couple of years ago and saw all the sights on foot, we walked more miles than at WDW Another reason to leave the girls behind

I'll send them up next year Glad your Church thing went well, that was very brave cooking for them all

Glad the congregation is still alive after the pancakes. You are brave feeding that many holy people.





Jo, I am a mental health therapist. I was a SAHM for 9 years and went back to work May 2006, about half way through my Masters. It took lots of adjusting that's for sure. Sometimes I miss being a SAHM but for the most part we have all adjusted rather well. I have to work 4,000 hours to be licensed (2 years, full time). Originally my plan was to go private after that but the more I work with the mentally ill, the more I realize my dream of having a practice full of minimally depressed wives doesn't seem feasible or fulfilling. I think I need to stay with the acute and suicidal.


Rome? How wonderful!!!!

Kirsteen, think this has any relation? http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=23112956#post23112956

Sorry but your last sentence made me laugh Sounds like you do a very worthwhile job

Is it not tag worthy? I can see it now in pink: Needs to stay with the acute and suicidal.


It's really fantastic work. It also keeps my own life and it's ups and downs in perspective. It's difficult to feel blue for too long when you realize how trivial some things are.

As I've said before I would us the term "holy people" in it's loosest sence, there's a good proportion of the congregation that are there for the social side and some are like me, Gods problem children (you know how it is....he loves us to bits but his patience is streatched to the max most of the time ).

So Jenny I knew I was hangin' out in the right place, 'cos I very cute and I've been heard to say "If anything else goes wrong I'm going to jump off that Erskine Bridge!!". Only joking, well done you for having such a worthwhile job, I know I wouldn't have the patience.

Did you use the words loose and holy together? I adore you!


I'm your girl if you feel like jumpin'! I'll have you seeing the glass half full in no time.

I am going to Mexico in 2 weeks!!!!!!

HOORAY You sound like you're feeling better....or is it the proximity of warm sunny beaches and cold delicious Margarita's that is creating an illussion of well being? As long as it's working for you who cares

I am seriously jealous, being as my summer vacation is very much up in the air just now. I promise I'm not complaining I'm just coveting your vacation joy . I got the all clear at the breast clinic yesterday so all I need now is the Tax Credit people to sort things out THE WAY I WANT THEM TO and then I'll be all set to get serious about this summer's expedition. I have a few places in mind and I'm starting to get a tad excited . Captain Sensible said last night "Do you not think you should just leave looking at holidays 'til we know we're def. going to be able to go?" ....HELLO MR, have we just met? "My name's Kirsteen and I'm a holiday planning addict". Honestly it's an illness ...I should really get at least two holidays a year on the NHS

 

[2ScottishPrincesses]

Okay girls I need to do some brain picking. I am still waiting on the Interline company coming back to me to say if I can book their discounted rate using my retired BA staff ID. They are taking forever to answer but if it's the answer I want here's the question (at last I hear you all sigh) They are a US based TA and I would like to use the DDP(that's another set of questions for later), I would also like to purchase the 14Day Ultimate ticket which they won't be able to sell me. Is there a way round this 'cos I've never used DDP and from what I've read I know you have to buy it along with your accomodation and park passes?

Please help me oh knowledgable ones

I am feeling a little better but what's got me all jazzed is my new Victoria's Secret Miracle Bra tankini. It was worth every dollar of the $105 I spent. And provide a miracle, it does! I will try to keep this as G rated as possible. My chest does not lack but after 3 kids, it's not as perky as it once was. Anyway, the Miracle bra makes my girls feel young again. It doesn't do anything for my thighs or tummy but hey, beggars can't be choosers.





Awesome and getting all clear at the breast clinic. Did you have a mammogram? I get to start those next year and am not looking forward to it.

Jenna knows all things Disney but why can't you purchase the 14 Day Ultimate ticket? I am sure you could have someone in the US purchase it for you.

Or like me, shhhhh, there to get the kids in the right schools

Was it routine? I don't get routine checks for years and years yet

OK I think, may be wrong, that to get the DDP you need to buy at least 1 days park ticket per person. Maybe you could ask if you can buy the Ultimate ticket elsewhere and still have the DDP added to your room?

why can't you purchase the 14 Day Ultimate ticket? I am sure you could have someone in the US purchase it for you.

14 day ultimate tickets are only available to UK guests so can't be bought from a US TA!

It wasn't a routine test, for a few months now I've had a VERY painfull right breast and then I found a couple of lumps . Anyway GP thought that it may be fibroids but wanted to get it checked out as my aunt and grannie on my mum's side both died of breast cancer. At that appointment she also put me back on the pill to see if it was the old *****mones....sorry hormones...that were causing the problem. Turns our it was the dreaded *****mones that were causing all the problems and even though the girls are lumpy it's nothing to worry about, I didn't even need to have a dreaded mamogram

I think that buying a one day ticket could be the answer for us but I've still to work out if DDP will be worth it or not I'm not 100% convinced yet. We're going to see whose offering the best deal next year for the 14day Ultimate and buy the tickets separately.

Hey Jenna that miracle bra tankini sounds fab. Maybe I should invest in one to see if it could perk up the lumpy girls. I mean how extreme of a miracle can they perform...are we talking parting the Red Sea or just one of these alledged sightings of Saints jobs, 'cos this is definately on a raising the dead level of difficulty ? By the way has someone warned Mexico to up it's order of tequila in two weeks time ?

I am glad they found no cancer! You have to be diligent with that history!


No parting the Red Sea miracle but I'd liken the miracle to making wine out of water.

Kirsteen glad it was all fine, I had something similar years ago and that was hormones, it does worry you though doesn't it

Jenny any photos of this new bathing suit? Not necessarily with you as the model though

Direct link above. Just change the color. I DID NOT get those tiny little bottoms though. I got the skirted mid scoop bottoms in black.

 

[DisneyJo]

Ooooh that's nice and yes it does ummm push up I would need bigger bottoms than those ones though I like the design you chose

I got the biggest, meaning most material, design in a bottom they had. I think the string bottom would get lost on me.
