Huge Excitement!!!!

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

Thanks so much everyone.  I will keep you posted. It is so hard waiting, but I really want to find a time when my boys aren't around.  Those of you who have noisy little brutes (who adore their Nanny) will no doubt understand.

Chelsea reading all these posts has truly brought a tear to my eye. You are such a darling and so is your DH.
Much love to you all and your darling Mum and Dad, they sound wonderful.

Oh no!!! MIL needs a break from nursing sick FIL and is now booked to fly down and stay with us next week! This may throw a spanner in the works.  Can't give Mum her rather large present with MIL there. Hopefully I will see Mum and Dad Sunday arvo if they get home in reasonable time from my sisters place. I don't really want to take it to my sisters house and give it to Mum in front of them. I didn't think it would be so hard to find the right time.

lol, Poor Chelsea, Your in a bit of a predicament. What to do?

[judydawn]

Completely understand the predicament you are in Chelsea - it is turning out harder than you expected.  Better get it done before MIL arrives though  

[judydawn]

Chelsea, the suspense is killing me.  Have you done it yet

A little update from Chelsea (who is somehow locked out of posting in this thread):

I woke up all excited this morning thinking that it would finally happen today (giving my Mum her TM). I sent her a text early asking her to let me know when she gets home from my sisters house as I have a little surprise to drop around to her.  Well she rang me straight away and told me that they were thinking that they might go out to the shack for a few days as the weather is so nice. Could her little surprise wait a couple of days? Well I could hardly say no as it is her first long service leave ever (she was a stay at home Mum until my sister and I went to Uni) and I want her to make the most of it. Now of course MIL is due on Tuesday and will be staying with us until next Sunday. Poor MIL I am grumpy with her and she hasn't even arrived yet! I am thinking that I might need to attend a "thermomix gathering" on Thursday night (or whenever Mum and Dad get home) and deliver it then. A few hours out may be just what I need by then and I wouldn't be fibbing to MIL exactly.

Thanks JD. I'm back in business!

You must be about to bust with all this build up Chelsea.Fingers crossed that Thursday will be the day.  

[Shazzy]

Wow Chelsea I think we are all as excited and as frustrated as you are!!!

Cant wait to hear about your mums reaction!

Chelsea a TMX gathering is JUST WHAT YOU NEED in more ways than one I think!!! Sounds perfect

What a lovely post, just been reading the news on ipad and very depressing, then to read this thread just lovely.  It is true try and do what you can today you don't know what is round the corner. 

[Chelsea (Thermie Groupie)]

It is finally happening!!! Tomorrow morning at 9.30am I will be giving Mum her "little surprise". I did have to tell a wee little fib to MIL about my whereabouts tomorrow morning and I have yet to work out how I can get it out to the car unnoticed - all minor details though. I will report back tomorrow.

Good luck Chelsea hope the surprise comes off and your mum is really excited
