9.18am and no sign. Maybe you've all finally realised that Marmite is a poison and have gone out to buy some decent apricot jam.

Can I join the club? I feel old looking after my 46 yr old (joking!!!)

MaureenMLove · 17/10/2007 22:47

I've got another money spinning day tomorrow, although DH is at home all day, so he'll want food and stuff - no not that sort of stuff! I have to keep taking him coffee into his office and he sits back on his chair, with the phone on his ear and points to his coffee mat! Cheeky bugger!

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 17/10/2007 22:47

When? Mo turns 40 on 20th Jan!

hennipenni · 17/10/2007 22:47

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 17/10/2007 22:46

MegsD - night night

CL - great to meet you, come in for a cuppa in the morning (hopefully some nice person will make us bacon sarnies Mmmmmmmm)

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 17/10/2007 22:45

henni - go on then, how old?

MegsD - OMG, amazing isn't it! I once was on a interviewing techniques course at work and the tutor ending up being my partner, we chatted, turned out she knew my old neighbour from up in Donny (Doncaster). Mentioned I was from there, then what village, she knew it so I told her the road, she knew it so I told her the number and she said 'OMG, you'll know the 'x's then!!' Small world eh!!!

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 17/10/2007 22:38

That's the 2md time I got you too mixed up. The blurred vision from the tears and I see M at the beginning and don't check the rest I saw Mo's message about her dh saying it's crap and then I saw the hate, hate, hate - oh well, don't think ANY of us LIKE it

Wouldn't it be funny if you two did know each other!

ChantillyLace · 17/10/2007 22:37

Megsdaughter · 17/10/2007 22:36

Megsdaughter · 17/10/2007 22:35

Lace Youngest brother is a copper in Salisbury!

We may well know each other!

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 17/10/2007 22:34

Oh yeah....vista is crap, not used it but know enough about this stuff and yeah, no way am I getting!!! The amount of software you can't use because of it, and if you buy say a new laptop or something with it on and then try and install something and do a fix yourself, it invalidates the warranty FFS!!! So yeah, I'm with Mo HATE HATE HATE it!!! Hey mo, we have a lot in common....hate for vista, love marmite and I see you like my fav films too

ChantillyLace · 17/10/2007 22:31

my keyboard does that too, have to watch very carefully when I type

bloodsuckingLOONEY · 17/10/2007 22:31

I'm back after my yummy curry. Dh is still in shock I'm eating the same sized portions as him!!! Must stop this as I hated my size when pg with ds!!! Put on 3 stone and it was all bum and hips, not a nice neat bump!! So I really need to be careful!!!

My mindees are split like this:

Mon-Wed

Mindee 1 - 2.3
Mindee 2 - 10 months (her baby sister)
(no 3rd full time under 5 til Jan as ds 4.7)
Mindee 3 - 3.10 (preschooler)

Thurs & Fri

Mindee 1 & 2 - 8 months (paid double)
(no 3rd full time under 5 til Jan as ds 4.7)
Mindee 3 - 3.10 (preschooler)

It's all supposed to change in Jan but god knows now!

Mo - how do you know EVERY time Actually, I didn't fully blubber due to dh being opposite - I get dead embarrassed about my hormones, being a man he just doesn't 'get it'. Seriously though.....what a LOVELY poem
