Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Ally- I think the twins are playing with your phone but thank them for the call! LOL

I only have my mum to get for, I have a beautiful album I want to put photos in for her and now I'm going to buy her lots of UK treats seeing as she hasn't been back in about 6 years!

Julz- if you really get stuck for pants give me a shout, I am making all C's and it takes like 10min so I can just make some for Dylan, I just make the waist elasticated because belts are a real pain.

Simone he fainted. Oh my hat. No wonder he is always nice to you. He owes you a lifetime of payback.

We have a problem as I can't find pants for Dylan. They are all too big in the waist so I am going to just put a stitch in them. the smaller pants are too short.

Oh yes Zee...thanks for reminder as well! I forgot about Cynthia! And she is such an excellent 'daymother' to Addy!

Zee...the big 30...not looking forward to it!!!

I have never bought Mr P tops yet...i dont think we'd have a problem with tops 9aged 2-3)...I like the dress combo's with the footless tights...but the dresses look way too long! But Ziani is taller than Addy hey?? Addy 83cm.

Shame re: your friend fainting! I am sure its embarrassing...but let me tell u...as the non fainting spouse....female especially that planned the day with military precision...the last thing i thought was SHAME when he fainted...not the first time or the 2nd time!! I would rather not mention the expletives floating around in my head whilst sitting in church on the floor in a puddle of Duchess Satin! lol. (Yes...i can laugh now)

Zee thanks so much. I didn't think about getting Verna something. She is Dylan's other mom after all.

Hi everyone

About Mother’s day gifts, we are also broke so I’m not expecting anything. But if we had money, I certainly would not like something for the house!! I have three moms to get something though. My mom, my MIL and the day mother as she is such a great “ouma” to Z.

Ally, the spa sounds amazing! And the treats you are making for the 9th sounds really good. Your family is fortunate to have such a good cook in their midst.

Carika, nice to hear from you again. Sorry about Cathy’s bad nights, hope it improves soon.

Nicole, the weekend away sounds nice, hope the in laws will spoil K a bit and that they won’t interfere with his routine.

Nelria, bad about the exams. Hope the shower will exceed your expectations. I think a baby shower is such a great thing to make an expectant mom feel good and spoiled.

Helen, hope you can move in soon … But hope you will have lots of help with the moving!

Simone, I’m glad I’m not the only one traumatized by Dawie and his wife’s becoming trees. Ange, how old are you again? Because both Simone and I are turning 30 this year and as Dawie followers, we probably gave our age away? Do you guys remember the Pikkewouters?

Simone, Some of Z’s clothes are 2-3, especially Mr P’s tops are way too small. There are lovely stuff at Edgars. Shame, bad about your poor DH fainting in front of the altar. A good friend of mine also fainted at her wedding (the sermon was ridiculously long!) and then her veil caught fire when she knocked over a candle stand! Shame.

Vix, really hope it is a girl this time. The outfit is stunning! I’m booking you in advance for my 2nd ones christening outfit! C is going to look so cute in his jacket … LOL about the weight!

Julz, you should use your voucher that could be a great treat for you this weekend! Glad the AA was so quick this morning, it is such a dangerous situation .

Vix I agree with the sex...like with Addy we so badly wanted a girl...i would not have been able to not know. Gerard and i honestly dont care next time round...though...I am hoping for girl again...then we can try for a boy with number 3! Heaven alone knows where this age is coming from seeing as i think i have lotsa time to have 2 more kids!

Vix i remember the sex...and when we found out. Flip we both so badly wanted girls! But man...look at that cutie pie C hey??? So good thing u didnt get your wish first time round...or u may have closed up shop thinking u had the girl u wanted!

Julz lol @ the mop...but very practical! If i wanted something like that...I wouldnt mind getting it as a gift. So to each his own.

Nicole funny I was just talking to gerard about us renewing our vows this year...but maybe 5yrs too early. We'll see if i lose weight. Shame he says he has been wanting to renew our vows since the day we got married...due to his fainting at the altar...i didnt know that until he told me 2 days ago.

Ally we are also FLAT broke...

I sincerely hope my husband does not take a loan to buy me a gift...I will not be impressed. With him and Addy...i dont need anything...I would rather go and buy Addy some stuff...even though my sister said this morning..Sis please stop this ridiculous 'when i lose weight i'll buy clothes' nonsense! I am sick of seeing u in the same stuff!

Guys did u see Edgars has such cute stuff for girls...but age 2-3! It'll NEVER fit Addison! The clothes look like they are made for such tall kids! I so badly wanna get her some footless tights...they have size small in girls section at Edgars...i wanna see if they'll fit. My child to me has such short legs!
