Either I'm missing something or I haven't dropped in for tea here yet........which is almost unforgivable in a "SmallBoy's attempt to post in everyones intro" kinda way.
(*Put big plate of apple cookies on the table*)
Love what you've done with the place man, probably all that living with a "female-type" stuff.
Cool, stay peachy.

Here have this page 2 and a complimentary bundle of questions on me.....
Have you bought cigars to pass out to all the other dad's in the waiting room?
Or did you keep all the cigars from them boxes you keep rattling on about?
I can see from your posts you're excited. Your spelling is getting as bad as Bram's
Do you know what's it's going to be yet?
If it's a dolphin, will you call it Flipper? Or something more original?

C@ntus and Malcolm.
Cheers Malcolm, I might old but at least I'm still crusty...ooo hang on...im i might be old but least I've crusted...um Dagnabbit! Forgotten again.
As for embarassing pics, it's better to ask mumtaz for those, she's got a whole store of them on our computer. She doesn't get many emails so it would nice send her a request for one of the piccy's.
C@ntus, cigars???? What disgusting habbit! Hmm, I seem to vaguely remember looking for substitutes (not the licorice ones) and didn't find any.
Any suggestions from yourself or other HoPers?
whats a good (inexpensive) handout for when your first baby is born???

But then I'd have no milk and no beans!
And Cassandra wouldn't be able to make crepes without milk...

beware of con gratuations. They're not as reliable as genuine gratuations. More liable to spring a leak when you least expect it.....

(I think I'm a daddy coz every now and then this little foot tries to push itself out of my princess' tummy! I know there's a baby in there, even if it hasn't got a birth certificate yet...)
The blighter is big too, over 8 pounds and getting bigger (poor Mumtaz )

Hmm, i'll try the show thing, but Mumtaz can't sit down for very long at a time (or stand up or lie down).
Hug already given...any further requests?

That's ok...I kinda forgot about my own birthday too, for the exact same reasons.
As a side note, one of my pressies was a huge empty milo tin all wrapped up in paper from my sister, Janine!
I use them for dunk tins, and my staffs tend to punch a hole in the bottom every 6 months or so. So now I ask all my friends to pinch the tin from work when it gets empty, so I can replace them every three months or so before the holes appear!
What's up with dom these days? Hows the ballooning going?
And no, no baby yet, but I am getting noticably more stressed...

ever since you touched me with the ballooning magick stick I have been doing so much of it
thought my skills are just as limited as before which is a shame I have been playing with them in Bali and thailand so much and everyone smiled and liked it thank you again for that beautiful gift
TONS of hugs and smiles and sunshine and good wishes
