Clio, so what does your hubby intend to do with this colleague of his? He definitely can't behave like us women and go up and scold his colleague. I thot she offered to pay for the vintage cot and now she only said that she is willing to pay only half of the $199.00. Well, if I'm you, I will call her straight and let her know that she has to pay the full amount. Aiyoh.. Loss of words on your hubby's colleague.
I agree with what Eviangal said. Last time, my friend lent me her bumbo seat and I just cannot figure out how I misplaced it. Nevertheless, when she needed it back, I bought one to return her. For god's sake, even for clothes, when friends loaned their baby's clothes to me, if the child outgrows, you still must have the courtesy to ask them whether they want it back just in case, they would like to keep for their next child, unless they say otherwise.

Ah Ching, same here. I'm taking leave on 15 Jan and had already started to feel the strain esp. when I walked. I am getting paranoid having my water bag burst in the office. With the first PG and with prior knowledge on how giving birth is like, I think I am more anxious than the first time. Sigh .. I feel so sleepy.
Eviangal. thanks for your offer. That will be great that if we all can have a gathering. I can also offer my place but at the clubhouse becos I don't think my house can accommodate so many people at one go. There is playground nearby and can bring our kids to swim. By the way, where are you staying? Do you guys have a specific period to hold the gathering?
Sigh .. Sometimes I wonder whether my hubby does listen to me. I told him about our luncheon so many times, until yday I offered to show him our group photo and yet he still can ask me when are you all guys due and which I told him in the month of February. And he was like going very surprised, asking me how is it possible. Really feel like knocking my head on the wall. Told him so many times that I had joined the Feb mummies forum and he still look very blur. I think my resolution for the New Year is to keep my mouth shut and say things one time so that he can remember what I said, instead of him thinking I'm nagging.
Zanta, yeah, we had noticed Valerie not being active. Maybe I will PM her and see how she's doing.
And I think I have to start to buy my hubby's Bday present early in case I deliver early.
A big YAWN..
