Gooooood Morning ladies,
Well you have all been off to an early start this morning....
Newbie - My heart skipped a beat when you said "bad news" I was so releive to read that it was only that you didn't get pictures, - don't do that - you scared the crap outta me. Glad all is well and that the scan was good. Technology is amazing hey? Your brother's story sounds hair-raising, shew! Must have been awful! I can't believe your friend didn't RSVP for your shower?!? WTF is up with that? have you guys spoken at all? I was chatting to a friend the other day, who was having BFF trouble and I told her "friendship's not meant to be hard" and it just came out, but the more I think about it, the more its true "FRIENDSHIP IS NOT MEANT TO BE HARD"
Sindy - your BF sounds lovely. Enjoy Saturday. Organiser thanks yous: When my mom and sister did my first one, I found a spa that had a double room available, so I got them both hot stone message vouchers and they said they really enjoyed it as they could lie there and chat during the messages. My sister says she thinks it made it better for my mom, cos she had never been to a spa before and it probably helped her relax to have someone with her, so maybe that could be something to think. I know its a little costly, but I know that my mom and sister spent a lot of money on my shower - no one had to bring anything, there were about 30 people and we had a champaigne breakfast - so ja, I felt I had to do something.
Guest Thank yous: When I arranged my friends shower I made little pink and white thank you chocolates, so if its not meant to be a surprise you could do something small. If it is meant to be a surprise then it would be strange for you to arrive with Thank yous for everyone, so if your mom and sista haven't arranged something, you can also do thank you notes/cards later. Its a nice gesture, I don't think its essential. Only a few of the showers that I have been to has been followed by a formal thank you gesture. let us know what you decide
Patty - sounds like a real crappy day! Sorry to hear. Only 54 days to go, gosh getting closer hey! glad you are feeling better this morning
Mjabu - I am also getting to the tired all the time stage again. I'm sure its worse for you with the blood sugar levels and all the stuff you are going through, but hang in there... nearly there! Glad you are still ok...
Vicky, congrats on 30 weeks!!
Think thats everyone present and accounted for this morning except Juandre and Ash
Update on hubby's endeavour- hubby was all smiles and happiness last night. he said that things are falling into place, but that he didn't want to say anything, cos he wants it to be a surprise. Then he was like "well you already know, so let me tell you" I told him that I didn't know anything except that he was arranging something. Shame I could see he was so proud of himself and really wanted to share his achievements, but I know that he'll wish after that he didn't say anything. He asked me a few questions about people and expectations, so I gave my opinion on a few things. And I'm gonna have to get used to the fact that it will be in July, cos he mentioned that he did not get a lot of responses to mails that he sent for something he wants to do, but that after the world cup, everyone seems to get their senses back and realise that they still have to make money and that the international clients have left.
Okeee, thats it from me for now! Hope you all have a lovely day!
Chat soon!
