message query for a bad day

Back at work

Gone through all my emails, there are a few too many "... and we'll leave that until Paul gets back" for my liking, but it could have been worse. If they'd managed to do everything without me I'd be expendable, don't want that.It's hard being back aw...

Can't believe I'm back in work tomorrow

I've been off with Harry for just about FOUR WEEKS now, this is amazing! I've not only forgotten what it is I do at work, I'm not entirely sure where it is any more. Luckily my neighbour works there, saw her today, they were having a very sophisticat...

Portchester Castle mentioned in the Telegraph today

Some ghostly nonsense, spoon fed to them by English Heritage:At Portchester Castle, in Portsmouth Harbour, a member of staff heard the sound of horses' hooves and then saw a riderless horse emerge from the walls of the castle, race across the area wi...

Do pop charts still count these days?

Jacko has every spot in the top ten and most of the top twenty too... Look Glitter, that's all you have to do to make a successful comeback!...

Holiday has been going fast

Went along as Clare and Harry's plus one to the semi regular meet up of the mums from the NCT classes, this time to the house of someone who lives in the Duke of York Military School, had a nice walk around their grounds and good to see the other bab...

Who says I'm unqualified?

Got another certificate to hang up in the bathroom along with my very difficult book award, I'm now officially a Holiday Extras Superhero! Just for being part of the team that made the new hotel upgrades setup (go to homepage search for a hotel and b...

Harry's cord came off today

Is that too much information? Parents out there will know this, it's cut and clipped and he's wriggling about with a plastic clip attached to his belly button for about ten days, and then it just drops off. Am I supposed to keep it though? Is this on...

Where'd my paternity leave go?

Man alive that quality time with Clare and Harry has gone fast, one more day of it really. I should spend less of the remainder on the computer! Harry is sleeping and Clare is getting ready for us to go down town though. As I already mentioned he's s...

Another nice day with the family

Kerry and the boys visited today, no Derrick as he's had ANOTHER accident, this time involving a chair lift. How many mirrors must that boy have broken??? Dad came instead again, to keep them company on the trip. Had a nice walk down to the beach and...

Nice day with the family

Mum and Dad and Nan visited, plus Dom and Jen popped in too, all bearing gifts! Went for a stroll along the Leas, lovely day here in Folkestone. This is such a nice place to live when the weather is good.Harry is asleep on my chest right now, so Im t...

Day two. Would Harry please come to the diary room...

Not such a great night's sleep, but apart from that everything going well. He cries like crazy when he's being changed, probably the sudden change of temperature or maybe I'm using the wrong kind of staples on the nappy. He wouldn't sleep in his bask...

RE: Happy birthday!

Paul,

It's true, you will NEVER sleep again (but it's worth it...).

Congrats,
Woodo

RE: Happy birthday!

Congratulations to you both from all at HX. He's terrific - worth the wait ;) From Chris and Team

RE: Happy birthday!

So cute!!! Congratulations to you all - lots of fun in store now!!
Love
Ralph Linda Astrid

Happy birthday!

Born 2.44am, mother and baby had a time of it through the labour but we're here now! Baby only has a little bruising from the delivery otherwise he's all perfect.3.39kg which is about 7lb 8oz, EXACTLY the weight Clare picked in the sweepstake. They s...

RE: Due day plus FOURTEEN

C'mon baby Clarke make yourself seen/heard!!

Due day plus FOURTEEN

Off to the hospital now for the final push!

Due day plus lucky THIRTEEN?

No actually, no movement today either. Clare doesn't feel any more like she's about to go into labour than she has done any day so far, so looks like we will be keeping our appointment with the indcucinator at 7am tomorrow.Before that got a bit of a ...

I'm losing count now

Is it due day plus TWELVE? Obviously no movement yet, I'd have been on here singing about it if anything had happened in the night. We've got exactly forty eight hours for our little baby to turn up of his own accord, and we can still go to the birth...

Remember to vote people!

Lovely day today, nice to have a little stroll before work. And as a bonus I got to do my bit fighting against fascism! Didn't actually get to vote against the BNP locally, our ward is seemingly not deprived and ill educated enough to put up a candid...

Due Day plus ELEVEN

Even NHS Pregnancy Desktop has given up on us now. This is an annoying thing Clare installed once, starts up with the computer and shows a little timeline of how close you are to your due date and some pregnancy related news stories, from the NHS. Fo...

Due day plus TEN

So little to say today I nearly went to bed without bothering. But then it occurred to me that regular viewers might assume we'd rushed to the birthing centre, hence no post! But no. A very busy day at work today for me, another session with the midw...

RE: Due day plus NINE

Get her to eat pineapple. My midwife suggested it.

Due day plus NINE

Clare went to accupuncture yesterday, not something I agree with but she figures anything is worth a try to avoid being induced at the weekend. If the baby does turn up this week before being induced it will be BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO ANYWAY, not bec...

Due day plus EIGHT

So have done a whole extra week at work now that I wasn't expecting, and looks like I might do another! Still no movement, and from what the midwife said yesterday seems like we might be waiting until next weekend, when Clare would have to be induced...

Nice day in Folkestone

Went for a walk down to the beach and up through the town. Everything's looking GREAT down by the beachy bits, loads of people about, even live entertainment outside the pubs down in the harbour. Here's Clare by the beach:See a similar view from 1920...

RE: Due day plus SEVEN

and there's me thinking I would see a list of dates with a paypal link next to them. Ouch respect to Clare.

Due day plus SEVEN

Still no sign. A midwife just arrived, to do a sweep. I'm glad, these floors are a state, I think Clare is struggling to get down to them since she's got so big.

Due day plus SIX

These extra days are rattling along a bit fast now, the big event must surely be any minute. Every day in the few fuzzy seconds between dreaming (last night that I'd sold lots of our stuff, can't remember what now) and being awake I have a little tho...
