  1. I woke up this morning at 12.30am to a baby CamberwellOz who was screaming and luckily had some nice stomach bug which was coming out both ends. Bubs continued to cry until about half twp when the Mr and I changed duties so I could get a couple of hours kip. I got up and got dressed for my first big ride into work - handed bubs over to the nanny and ran downstairs only to find that the key to our communal cupboard downstairs was not on the key ring I took down. I ran back up two flights of stairs and frantically starting pulling out keys from several key drawers we have in house. (Why we have multiple 'key' drawers caused me to swear several times and most probably look like a angry octopus trying to paint her suckers with nail polish). After about five minutes I gave up, flew into the shower and jumped in the car for a wondrous time in peak hour traffic going from Camberwell to Acton. I got to work (no time for coffee) and my boss has decided that I will be in charge of the HR department. Sounded swiffy and great before I realised that our multimillion dollar company has never had a HR department. Everyone working in the office gets to leave at 4.30pm on Fridays - except me because I only work three days a week. So I watched everyone share a nice glass of wine and head off. To which I jumped in the car and spent 1 1/2 hours driving to Putney to try and fix my bosses personal computer. It was about this time that I thought to myself '%@~*& @@~~%%$$', spun the car around and drove home. My Aussie Shiraz is now slipping down a treat.
  2. I think I top you all..... I sat in traffic for an hour and a half trying to get to Putney to fix my bosses internet connection at his house for his family.
  3. Elipie - if you use the search engine on the EDF - you will be able to find lots of information about what you are after. (I would put in 'moving' in the search engine)
  4. Hmm looks like someone has copied my card too. Lucky I only had a minimum amount of money in it. Grrrr (6)
  5. I want a Deliverance.
  6. I think what is coming through here is that the maternity ward is really stretched to breaking point. The A&E however sounds like it has it s~@% sorted.
  7. I went and got my hair done and had an excellent head massage. Then went off to Peckham Rye for a frolic in the sun. That sorted me out. Ah, the life of a Dulwich mum. >:D
  8. That sounds brilliant Brendan. It is just the small 10 month child that I have to entertain. Will re-runs of Thomas the Tank do?
  9. I have been awake since 5am this morning. Hangovers and me never work well. I'm ashamed :-$ at my eating habits.
  10. I can tell you what hasn't made me feel any better - a toasted cheese sandwich four cups of tea two litres of water roast lamb (cold from the fridge) lentil and feta salad (still on the table from last night's lunch that turned into dinner) two cans of diet coke I'm off to the shops for some magic solution.
  11. My mother-in-law had ?6000 taken from one of her cards. A fraudster rang the bank up and told them she had moved address. The bank then sent out a new card to a place up in Newcastle. They then went on a shopping spree over a couple of days. She never used the card but it took the bank a week to flag her account.
  12. 6.00am and my tongue feels like a manky old piece of leather. It is going to be a long day.
  13. I'm in my kitchen making slow cooked organic lamb that I bought when I was in Wales last weekend. Mr CamberwellOz is taking out bubs for the afternoon and I think when my friends come round I may drink far too much wine.
  14. More positive Wii talk please.... then Mr CamberwellOz might allow me to buy one. Hmpf.
  15. Scrap that 3. Not telling the *#$?** downstairs that we live in London and things make noise - like washing machines, dishwashers, small children and breathing. Sending us up to 8 text messages a day and several phone calls will not stop ordinary noise. Find an island and move there. Whew that feels so much better. Now only if I could say it to *##%? face. >:D<
  16. Sailing down the coast of Turkey, watching the sunrise, still drinking from the night before with 13 complete strangers. Sitting on a large rock after ice climbing on the Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix eating bread and cheese. Turning round and smiling at Mr CamberwellOz and secretly thinking.... I never thought I'd be fit enough to do this. Watching a little boy in Dubrovnik walk his cat down to the local pier and fish for it's dinner. My mum and dad's smiling faces every time I get off the plane in Australia. It doesn't matter how many times I do it - they always clean the car, spring clean the house and buy me magazines and Australian treats to read/eat in the middle of the night whilst I get over my jet lag.
  17. 1. Not calling my biological mother on my wedding day and asking where she was. 2. Not waiting until I got home to tell Mr. CamberwellOz I was pregnant. I just wanted to see his face... he sounded so pale. 3. Always have one in reserve.
  18. Or when turning you do not need to indicate. Everyone has now been blessed with psychic abilities. Especially the bike rider you nearly ran over.
  19. Andreas - you are truly a lucky boy.
  20. I seem to find everything 'hilarious'. It makes me angry just thinking about it. Been going on for about two years now. I think I need to go see someone about it. Would they find it hilar.... *sigh* even I don't laugh at my jokes anymore.
  21. Or stopping in the middle of the road to chat to a mate thing (6)
  22. You are my mystery - you are the moon behind a cloud, an unfinished dream of love, the colour of a bud before it flowers... You are the surprise of a crocus breaking through the earth - you are what lies beyond horizons, and the miracle of birth - you are the whispers in the tree tops, an elusive rainbow?s end., the untold secrets of the sea, and words which flow unbidden from a poet?s pen - You are music of the heart, the morning star - and if I love you all my life, I will never solve the mystery of all the things you are..... Nanushka - how I love her poetry.
