[TheGreatScootini]

New thread..we-ell it is nearly December and I like to start the festivities early doors

You are not miserable CM..You are going through a horrible time.
Tis a bit tumbleweedy on 't thread these last few days though..

Tell DH I have ALOT of jobs for him to do Mrs JB.I am so sick of the sight of this ruddy shiny wall paper!

Girls back tonight.I am looking forward to seeing them but I cant pretend it hasnt been nice to have some peace

[MmeJaffa1ofyour5aday]

Good title scoot!! You are not the great for no reason.

So, I'll stick Dh on a plane, I'll have him back by x-mas! He'll be great with the girls too ya know.

[TheGreatScootini]

I give him two days.He will be begging to come back.

Here is what I should do before they get back;stip the beds and put clean sheets on.Hoover.Make a nutritious meal for the girls to take to cm tomorrow.
Here is what I will actually do;drink some wine.Finish my chocolates.Watch Telly.Get frozen chicken dinner out of freezer to defrost for the girls tomorrow.I am lazy slattern.I dont care.
Anyone want a Lindor?>>proffers chocolates around

hey - make the most of it Scoot!

CM you are not a misery - and I think you have been v calm about the kitchen!

Without wishing to be morbid it is not a bad idea to tell one's DH (or whoever) what you want to happen if something does happen to you....takes the pressure off in that situation - and talking about it does not make it happen...My Grandad had the whole lot planned when he died and I think my parents have done the same.

OK enough of this - DH and I are having an evening of sorting out Xmas presents tonight - I am feeling all smug that it is all under control and I have a horrid feeling that I will now find that I need a second mortgage to get all the things I havent got!

[JamInMyWellies]

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Found you all !!

3 days to go .......

[MmeJaffa1ofyour5aday]

OMG Jam is this it???????? Jumps up and down in excitement. Early labour? Is it a little early? Excuse crap memory of due date.

[MmeJaffa1ofyour5aday]

Wow tilly, 3 days, I'd be shiteing it. Can't wait to see some photys. It's always the bits that you can't do til the last minute that make things a rush at the end. I remember being really organised but rushed off my feet in the last few days.

[JamInMyWellies]

No not due until 9th Dec but am getting increasingly fed up of being preggers. Especially as everything is ready now.

How exciting Tilly lots of love and luck to you both.

[MKG]

Hello all. Today I am absolutely knackered. I spent all day yesterday running around and getting ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. I can't wait for December to come and go, I'm so stressed about everything.

[largeginandtonic]

The sick...the poo... i can't cope.

3 more went down with the bug (so far) ds#4's seems to have reignited itself in the last 24hrs. I have been wiping poo bottoms in the middle of the night and been listening to endless whinging.

I have not been out the house. Beau terrorifes ds#4 all the time. He turns the TV off, hits him and climbs on him. I am at the end of my rag.

I think i am on 4 nights barely any sleep now. Moan, moan.

TMAM i got your email, will reply today

Jam do you think this is it or is it wishful thinking? Not long now is it. Was A late? I can't remember.

I have heard via FB from SOH She is fine, just has v temperamental tinternet access atm.

How is everyone else?

[Pinkjenny]

Right, I will catch up in a mo. I have to admit that I have been in bed with McDreamy. Yes ladies, I am obsessed with Greys Anatomy. I am considering flying to America to try and break up Patrick Dempsey's marriage.

[largeginandtonic]

Patrick Dempsey?? As in Dallas Dempsey? Good lord how old is he now?

[largeginandtonic]

MKG!!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!

[Pinkjenny]

No love. That's Patrick Duffy.

Happy Thanksgiving MKG!

[largeginandtonic]

Welcome back Lups!!! I thought of you the other day Which buggy is A in now

[Pinkjenny]

here

He's my new number one. My administrator has gotten me into Greys Anatomy. I am obsessed. My BF has just said I'm the same now as I was when I was twelve when it comes to obsessing over boys!

[largeginandtonic]

Good grief he is holding twins! That would make me run a mile Are they his?

He is quite cute though, could do with a haircut though.

Who got kicked out of X factor on Saturday?

[Pinkjenny]

Rachel. Thank God. She was scaring me.

[largeginandtonic]

I have clearly been head in sand but have you heard about Gordon Ramsay having an affair? I am about to google it.
