Welcome to 14.....

We got spooky 13 out the way. Now business as usual.

Don't worry about making sense, we rarely do!!

A poem from Portia

Mother Nature don't build straight lines
We're broken moulds in a grand design
We look a mess but we're doing fine
We're card carrying lifelong members
Of the Union of different kinds

Crack on and enjoy!!

Most definitely being

My logic behind not going.... I'm running every other day. I walk to work. If I gym I don't walk the dog and he can't last until DP gets up so will make a mess inside for DP to moan at me about!

Valid excuses

Morning all. I know exactly what you mean about the Mumzillas Vanilla.
DS1 now walks to his school and DS2 is old enough to be dropped off in the mornings, so I can hide my unwashed panda eyes behind sunglasses stay in the car.

RedMerida · 06/09/2016 07:39

Does anybody want my headache? Went to bed with it last night, woke up with it this morning.

RedMerida · 06/09/2016 07:46

Well, today I will be venturing
out there.
Now all our kids have gone back to school, I'm off out for a really naughty healthy breakfast with a few RL friends. I will have bacon, sausage, egg, mushrooms, black pudding, beans, pancakes with syrup, copious amounts of coffee with sugar, full fat Greek yogurt with fruit compote and granola just some fresh fruit salad with a low fat yogurt and lemon water.
Because I'm really not healthy.

Then I shall be vegging out in front of the tv on the sofa until further notice ready for a productive day.

Red, I'm incredibly jealous of your day.

It just took me half an hour to battle my way to work because they have decided to put roadworks on every available route. Angry

Bettercallsaul1 · 06/09/2016 07:50

RL friends, Red? What sacrilege is this? Grin

Bettercallsaul1 · 06/09/2016 07:52

Definitely envy that breakfast, except for the black pudding. My OH cooks this for himself and I cannot stay in the kitchen.

carbcraver · 06/09/2016 08:12

Double chocolate protein shake here!

It's ok, I'll take you all with me for breakfast.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 06/09/2016 08:25

I did not just eat a chocolate roll for my breakfast! Nope! Didn't happen. Blush

RedMerida · 06/09/2016 08:37

You wouldn't do that Being.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 06/09/2016 08:38

Now I don't have one for lunch. 😫

RedMerida · 06/09/2016 08:41

Oh well, off to take DS2 to school. DS1 has already gone. They're both knackered cos DH took them both to Cardiff last night to watch Wales vs Maldova. They didn't get home til 11:45, so they're both really whingey. Don't you love the whinge.

RedMerida · 06/09/2016 08:42

Being you need to buy another three one, otherwise you won't have had one all day!

UmbongoUnchained · 06/09/2016 08:47

I've called in sick so am spending the day on the sofa watching Netflix. With pizza.

Bettercallsaul1 · 06/09/2016 08:56

Excellent life plan, Umbongo. This thread has been a good influence on you.

I LOVE black pudding!!

But today I had a Flat White and a sulk. I lasted 10 seconds in the playground before I threw in the gauntlet and now want to put the house in the market and move back home. God, all the school mums are miserable cowbitches round here.

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 06/09/2016 09:20

DS at school. I want to go back to bed but can't because of DD. My body clock is a mess.

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 06/09/2016 09:22

I've never actually tried black pudding. Just the concept of what it is makes me feel sick.

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 06/09/2016 09:22

Red your day sounds good.

PortiaCastis · 06/09/2016 09:22

Morning, I'm not showered or dressed but I am out of bed. I made dd breakfast of a banana and toast earlier but then gotuptoshenanigans went back to bed. Think I smell so will now have a shower.

Everyone is probably at their worst today, Vanilla, with the enforced return to routine and suddenly having to become organised again after six weeks of sloth.

PortiaCastis · 06/09/2016 09:41

Ah schoolmumgate
So glad I'm over all that competitive cringe. Of course my dd was doing yr 3 maths at 6 weeks old and my hair looked wonderful at 8.30am not to mention my designer bag and shoes. But really my pjs were still on underneath the dior trousers and I didn't wear any knickers.
All lace curtains and no knickers !
