Temping, Testing and Tantrums- We've got it all on THE TCC THREAD!

That's an excellant e-mail Nat . I think you have been more than reasonable, I really do, and I'm sure it will do the trick re; getting a refund wither way. Only prob might be if she empties her paypal account, but fingers crossed it won;t come to that.
Lol at MIL and shopping. Yes, would be a good weeze if I actually liked bakewell tarts, cockaleeky (sp?) soup, fritter-type old peoples things...Oh I am so ungrateful aren't I ...
Off to get my roots done in a minute. dds at school nursery and enjoying a few hours to myself!! OK, so there is the small matter of writing 2 lectures and marking 45 essays, but hey they can wait . I am a strong believer in the law that 'work expands to fill the time avaialble' .

Agree, can't believe how fast the last few months have gone! Esp April which only lasted two weeks I'm sure. Just desperately hoping that my smear comes back ok, otherwise that's my ttc put off for several months if anything like my past history. Having said that, have had normal results for 2 months, so should be positive .
Right, hairdresser's calls! Speak later

Hi Deige,

I had melzanne alla parmargiana (baked aubergines in yummy tomarto sauce with cheese on top, simple but lovely) followed by Chicken stuffed with cheese wrapped in parma harm with a cream and tarrgon sauce and veggies. Then tiramasu for dessert.

Natalie, maybe you have hay fever? I am stuffed up and my eyes are itchy and stinging a bit, think it must be hay fever. Oh, and your pay pal dispute sounds fari enough to me.

Also I know I have said 'the seller' 1000's of times, but think if I used her name, it sounds a bit too friendly?! And I don't feel very friendly at the moment!

It won't be long now till we are off the pimped up wagon The thread is 4/5 months old now, so it is only that again, and I don't know about anyone else but it has bloody whizzed by! How exciting?

I feel OK, head just feels full of 'stuff' IYKWIM? Not very often I have much 'stuff' in my head!!

Diege grrr at MIL, tell her to do it again next week, and the week after, and the week after, then you won't have to pay for shopping all month - MIL's do have their uses! (Well mine doesn't we have done her shopping for her god knows how many times, and I don't think she'd ever bought us so much as a pint of milk back!

OK, am about to open the PayPal Dispute thingymebob about this sodding slide, does this sound OK: "Having bought a "Brand New in it's Box Water Slide" from this seller, and recieving a very dirty, damp and smelly used water slide, we advised the seller imediatly of the poor condition, and the seller agreed that it wasn't new at all. After having sent numourous emails and attempts at contacting the seller via telephone, we have had very little communication from the seller. We really didn't want to have to come through PayPal, but the seller has left us little choice, stalling and offering replacemenet goods which are of no use to us, does not constitute a full refund. We are very happy to have an open and frank discussion with the seller, either via email or by telephone to sort this out, however, we have been trying to do just that for over 3 weeks now, and to be honest, we have just lost all patience and any compassion we had for the seller. If the seller could get back to us, by the weekend (Saturday 3rd May 2008), to send us a full refund, we are willing to drop the PayPal dispute as soon as we have recieved a cleared refund."?? Would normally ask DH, but he is working in the Trafford Centre, so he's not got any signal on either of his phones!

Hi Playing, x-posts! Italian meal sounds gorgeous - what did you have??

Aww, hope your cold is just one of those 24 hours things Nat - can be really draining when you're just getting over other things..
I know the shoes you mean TInks - agree, they are scrummy. I need to get dds new school shoes as winter ones are wrecked. Not sure whether Clarks still do the 'in-between' styles, as don't want heavy winter, or open sandals either...
Mmm, chesse slices Kay - admit I do like them 'raw', nice to nibble on. Hope your day goes OK and that MIL behaves herself. Mone was here last night trying to 'help' as dh is away. Of course I appreciated her picking dds up from childminder etc, but then she also brought without asking loads of shopping for me. Great you might thing, but I'd booked a Tesco shop days ago that also arrived last night . So she's now pee'd off thinking I'm not grateful, but she just assumed I'd not thought about food etc...
Echo Cosmo's sentiments, happy 1st May (my starting month hopefully,just waiting for smear result)and another month closer for those that are managing to hold off!

Morning everyone.

Happy Birthday Squack Junior.

Must have been a night for not cooking. Had a meal out with DH at a nice little Italian restuarant. Lovely evening with just the two of us, but I ate a bit much, 3 courses is slightly excessive, well it tasted good .

Yay, another months closer . Only 4 more months to go now .

I also think the shoes are sweet.

NJ, hope the light-headedness was just a one off

Hmm, sure I missed something, but by the time I've read it, got distracted at work and then posted, I've forgotten half of whate I've read.

Ooo and pinch punch everyone! Another month closer to those start dates for those of us still waiting!

Morning ladies,

Just a quickie before I dash to work. Happy birthday to your LO Squacky. You are all such good mummies with your balloon blowing etc.. NJ - takeaway does sound good. I haven't had one in yonks. Having a very fat week this week, in fact, I am pretty sure that I have put on weight after coming off the pill. A little depressing since I thought you were meant to lose weight after the pill not gain it. Ho hum, best start doing some exercise I suppose and stop moaning about it!!

Have a good day everyone. The bank hol weekend can't come quick enough for me.

It is looking good Tink

Think I am getting a cold, feel all bunged up, but strangly my nose is clear (i.e. I can actually breathe easily through it!) though I wish I couldn't because the bungedupness seems to have made smells all yukky and then I feel sick, am thinking the feeling faint yesterday plus the nose/sickness thing must be all part of a bug, I don't want a bug, have spent the last couple of weeks either laid up with migrain or my back, and now something else is going wrong Hope it is gone by next week, DH and I have stuff planned all week.

ignore cant get link

they are the scrummy shoes with two straps going across are hot pink nubuck with pink spots

morning ladies

moosma they are gorgeous shoes
squack happy 6th birthday 2 little squack hope that you all have a greatmy temp up today too
nj takeaway sounded great
my daughter also has these

selection_first shoes

and blue doodles with a little strap across and flowers on the end

To be fair I can put up with them melted on a BBQ'ed burger with salad, but to eat it un-cooked is a bit like eating plastic cheese And I have tried eating plastic cheese, brings back memories of DS1 making us 'dinner', platic jacket potatoes, plastic cheese, plastic cutlery and plates, oh and the dreaded 'cup of tea' made with freshly squeezed plastic orange juice, and the obvious shot of plastic tomato ketchup! Yum!!

Morning! Good to be back in the land of the living . Happy birday Squack's dd - enjoy the party!
Not had a chance to read through properly, but must add my support to the cheese slice fan club . Mmmmm, gorg toasted on white sliced bread!

Me to Kay, I don't want to be back where I was. Chinese was lush, big fat juicy king prawns, my absolute favourite Only thing I don't like about getting chinese is when they deliver it, if it is DH that goes to the door, the delivery bloke won't let him go till they have talked about football for 10 minutes, so I am left to either get it all on the plates (which I never do as well as DH, he has far more practise than me!) or it goes cold whilst delivery bloke is going on about summetorother....

Happy birthday to MiniSquack! High temp is a good thing, isn't it?!

Boak at cheese slices....

Dd's 6th birthday today . Been up since 6am blowing up helium balloons to fill downstairs. Fingers are hurting.

Temp up, which makes for a pretty chart if nowt else.

Better nights sleep last night. Still tempted to test but I'm hanging on just about ( 6dpo).

Righto well have to make a move got a lot to do today and doubt I'll get a chance to get back on until after her party this afternoon.

Have a nice day girlies "mwah, mwah"

Morning.

I hope it was just a one of Nat. I'm so jealous of chinese DH did pizza and chips.

I lurve cheese slices. I had cheese slice sandwiches for breakfast this morning as we had no crumpets.

I dont want to go to work. I have to take DS to MIL's this morning and I just can't be bothered with her this morning.

Sorry I just went last night, all turned into mush when DH got in, as per usual! Boys were running around "Dad's home Mum, and he's bought a Mcdonalds was a bit cross till he pulled out the chinese menu for us

So the boys went to bed, we had a chinese, then I had a lovely bath, got out of the bath and nearly fainted, haven't felt like that since I had CFS about 8 years ago.... so am on watch alert now incase it happens while I am alone with the kid/s.... I don't like that feeling at all.

And BB cheese slices - yuk

I am off now too. Night.

night all x

theres something about um....they are so naughty and fake...mmmmm

I got these for DD1 t'other day. I'm not too sure that they're not a little bit chavvy but she likes them, so who am I to complain??

Evening all, hello goodbye as I'm off to put DD1 to bed then watch last week's ER on 4OD (if I can get it to work).

And I use too many !!!!!!!'s too, and () too!

errrrrr real cheese yes manky slices no....
