Kids all still here....this conjunctivitis just isn't going away! It has been almost a whole week!

They are absolutely hyper! DS is currently chasing the girls about with a sword

I am going to take them out today I think! Actually it is looking fairly sunny.

[TheMadHouse]

Morning

Bad night again. So much coughing = a wet bed and an unhappy DS1

Bedding in wash
Morning routine completed

We are off to have photos done at playgroup and the Aldi shop with my mum.

[BiancaCastafiore]

Morning

Sorry you're having such bad nights TMH Hope ds1 feels better soon x
Luda thanks for the thread I hope the kids eyes clear up soon x Good news about the new wm!

Well, I have a lot of work on today (again) soooo much to do.

I also have my follow-up appt about the lump on my neck

House is going downhill rapidly, I need to be sure to keep on top of things in the evenings.

Have to go and help open the shop. BBL.

[TheMadHouse]

Bianca I wanted to send my bestest thoughts regarding your neck. I am here should you need me.

Luda Take the children back to the doctors. They will need a different anti B drops. DS2 gets it all the time and it can be a nightmare to clear

We are off now

[Jas]

Thanks for all your wishes - still no answer as to what the lump is...I have been refered to the ENT surgeons who'll have a better look and decide on how to proceed on removing the lump. That's at least a 6 week wait... Ho hum.

Hello and Welcome aboard The S&S Fly Thread to Columbo and GiddyKipper Luda Thanks for saying I was lovely yesterday. It made me

TMH How do. I find if I take Ed with me to a charity shop I can distract him by getting him a small toy or book to sate him a 20p matchbox car or a 50p ladybird book. As cheap as sweeties and you get smart stuff like Jane Hissey or Tootles the Taxi.

I think I bought all the good stuff yesterday. Got a frock, matching necklace and earings and a game for Ed as well as the towel rail yesterday so mustn't grumble.

Spent this morning attempoting to improve my CV. I am doing small scale SEAL as a volenteer and I sought some advice from my mentor. I have also approached the CAB for vol opportunities. I WILL GET A JOB ONE DAY! I am a good worker, entusiastic, supportive, able to signpost people to relevant bodies and experienced in a wide range of areas.

ooops, sorry.

My lateset eBay has arrived, Captain Beaky and his band on vynil LP [Grin] I nthink Ed needs to hear it and the library didn't have a copy . All excited now! Bet it's scratched to blazes and jumps now.

[TheMadHouse]

Groucy I can do that with one, but with two the other always wants what the other has - if that makes any sense.

Mission - Done
Ironing - Done to put away
Make shelving unit (from garage) - Ruby you insired me and I am spending at least 15 mins in it each day. (Not done, need DH
Whats for dinner - Pizza (Make dough) - Done
Drop yet more baby things at friends - Doing after Preschool collection
Likst more things on ebay - tonight

I have also made DS1s bed
Hung washing on line
Had Lunch
And most imporatant of all danced with DS2, Wiggley party la la la la la la la la la la la

Do join in ladies

[ludaloo]

Hi,

Just been to town and discovered part of our Matalan has become a party shop! Every kind of decoration you can think of, and a balloon blowing up station! The kids went absolutely BONKERS!! I bought a few halloween bits and bobs (I LOVE Halloween! )

If I had lots of money I would be lethal in a place like that!

Thanks for all the advice Re: the kids....you may be right and I will take them back to see the doc. The cashier lady in Matalan commented today!! She wondered if they had been swimming (she was probably wondering why they were so manic!)

I have no idea when the W/M is turning up actually!...I'm hoping DH will know that, he called to pay and arrange delivery (I hope!)

Bianca.....ooooohhhh I wonder what that is then. Hopefully they will be able to tell you more when you next go. Did they have to scan it or anything?

Guess what guys.....I'm starting my diet again and my fitness regime. I'm going to Aqua Fit tonight with a friend. I'm going to start running again too....but not too much as it does my knees in. DH has said he'd like to run with me so if we can get someone to watch the kids for an hour or so I think I'd really like that

I would absolutely LOVE to do Salsa dancing and drag DH along, but they don't have a class that I know of near here and I'd probably have to drug him before he'd agree to that LOL!

[Shannaratiger]

cafebistro meatballs to me = mince & a finely chopped onion & garlic mushed together then made into balls, coated in flour & left to chill in fridge. Then either fry and add to tommy sauce from a jar or home made or baked in the oven in the sauce with cheese sprinkled on top for about 40 mins I reckon.....not very good with timing stuff or amounts sorry. Tend to go with what looks about right
Mad wiggly party . . . My lo loves dancing too. Kids are so funny to watch dancing
grouchy erm Captain Beaky?

Decluttering not going too badly today (cafebistro, thank-you for the offer to do yours but I have plenty of my own) I have thrown all my old make-up & now have one sensible sized box left . Sorted out my undies as well, threw 4 knackered sets away so must replace with some new sexy stuff I think tomorrow in town & am off to do another drawer shortly.

cafebistro or anyone with a young/small enough lo; I have some Boots Swimming nappies in the drawer I'm off to sort which don't fit my lo. Any use to anyone?

Right, cuppa, flick on MN for 5 and then drawers here I come

[tigger32]

mad lol at your ds, are they watching wiggles? my 2 are currently watching wiggles safari, tis the 1st time ds2 has seen it and he is glued (could i finally be getting rid of the telebubbies??) Ds1 is sat in his vest pants and new hat, scarf and glove set I bought him today , he does make laugh!
shannara well done with the training, I plan to start weight watchers next week....
bianca sorry you are no further along with the lump, I think that must be good news in a way!
grouchy I have never really got much from charity shops, maybe I should give it a go as it sounds like you do quite well!
ruby enjoy your evening with dh

right going to get dinner on - sausage and mash
then do as much as I can so don't have to do much tomorrow, who knows I may even get to enjoy my birthday

[EustaciaVye]

hi all, cant stop as off to meet the teacher appointment in a bit.

If Bythepowerofgreyskull is about - hope you're ok. Saw some stuff about a troll on a chat thread and saw your name. Havent been out into wider MN for a couple of weeks so not sure what's up.

Ruby - family news not good but prognosis is being accepted

Hope you're all ok.

[cafebistro]

Hi everyone

Not really got anything done today

Beef stew in the oven and the bottle of red that i opened to put in it is sat on the side tempting me. I think I'll have to have a cheeky glass later .

DS is winding me up as he is refusing to eat anything I try to give him...I know it will turn into a battle of wills that I wont win but it frustrates me all the same .

Lucys- The swim nappies sound good but Im not sure how much the postage will be- im in Ireland- it may be too much to make it worthwhile IYSWIM. Maybe someone else could make use of them? Thanks for thinking of me though.
