Ebbie, hugs sweetie. Go to the shop today and buy lot of nice stuff to fill your cupboards!!!

DQ - make sure your still taking things easy. If I were you I'd delegate the jobs from your most comfy chair

Today I have to go to the PO and pick up something - could it perhaps be my ss????

Also am sending my ss her things too Hope she likes them.

Oh, and I might manage to fit in a bit of work!!!

Btw, for all those of you having trouble sleeping, if it's because you can't get comfy try one of these v shaped pillows

It's took me a few nights to get it in the right position (after trying everything else I could think of) but since I've got it right I've slept right through for the last 3 nights

well I managed to not eat my chocolate yesterday, it's sitting in my drawer, all ready for this afternoon
I have tomorrow off, this is Friday for me - yay off to see my reflexologist and then my midwife & wanting to have a lie in until at least 7am tomorrow morning......

Nemo1977 · 29/09/2005 10:04

morning all
Dq xmas online shopping sounds great..we ave got most of adams stuff and for his little friends who have bdays etc and xmas coming up I have just ordered a load of books from his book club...think most other people will be going without this year..lol

scully jealous of your reflexology...i had it all the way through with adam but cant afford it now..however its y bday in nov so may ask dh to pay for a treatment.

I am sititng here marvelling how great I feel..lol Dont knwo why as adam was awake from 11pm-2am dont know why he was just really upset..bless him. Then of course I woke up at 7am..so managed to finish that book if anyone wants to borrow it. Then got up at 8am and have managed to
hoover whole house [except stairs which dh did on mon] Mop kitchen and hall floors
get washing and drying on
clean kitchen cupboards and all surfaces
dust
and am now waiting for my shopping due between 10-12..it has been 2 yrs since my house was this tidy in one day Adam has decided to sit at the table to play with his toys which means v limited mess and a ecstatic mummy..lol

sweetheart · 29/09/2005 10:12

nemo - goodness you've been busy.

I find that when I keep busy I actually feel better because I don't get all stiff. If I sit around for too long not doing anything - or lounge on the sofa - thats when the pains start to kick in!!!

Perhaps your the same.

Nemo1977 · 29/09/2005 10:19

SH i am at the time but tend to pay for it later once I do have to stop. Just noticed the windows are filthy so may give them a going over later...will see how I feel after the shopping has been, just enjoying the peace and lack of tv being on.

ebbie22 · 29/09/2005 10:26

I woke this morning,with my neighbour knocking on the door,thankfully dh hadnt left for work yet,u c our back gate is really flimsy at the mo,and needs a new lock,
next door neighbour,has a hook on bk of our gate,to hold his open while he moves his van out etc,I dont have a problem with that but.....

On tue,dd and her friend were in the garden and dd came running in to say that we MUST go outside NOW,gate was wide open[its a double gate too,acess to rd]so locked it Again,and saw n d n,asked him not to use the hook until new lock on as gate keeps opening,
ok he said...Yesterday came home from being out all day to find gates Wide open...Went outside and put tape to stop him using it[thought wouldnt b a problem as had asked him anyway for the time being not to use it..]So this morning he comes roung Shouting at dh, saying i was blaming him for the gate,i came downstairs and said,no i didnt i just said our gate needs new locks.....So mad,i cried so hard thought i would go in to labour.apparantly he apoligizeds as dh showed him our gate...Do u think i was in the wrong?I feel really guilty now,but am fed up of coming home to an open gate,gale force winds never open it when he is away on holiday and while i am saying its not the hooks fault i would never forgive myself if anyones children esp my own exscaped thru the gate being open...Or if any of dd toys in garden got knicked....

dramaqueen72 · 29/09/2005 10:27

ugh nemo, now I feel bad.........
am about to go by dd2 a bike helmet, -this should be entertaining, the phrase 'justs it still while i try these hatss on you' is NOT one she'll oblige with, i just know it.
also feel the need to get polyfiller for nursery........the decorator cant fit us in for AGES and i think I shall say sod it and Do it myself at this rate. honestly, why doesnt anyone else get a pg lady's need for 'RIGHT NOW urgency'????
also grocery shopping day, sigh. another meal plan for week....i love cooking but have house full of fussy buggers so its abit depressing trying to keep everyone happy.
so quick, what are you having for tea tonight, to inspire me please!!

ebbie22 · 29/09/2005 10:28

Sorry for the rant....hope your all ok x

dramaqueen72 · 29/09/2005 10:29

oh ebbie, no, not you stupid insensitive neighbour. dont cry hun, youe quite right, if your children got out onto road..........grrrrrrrrrrrr.....naughty man making you cry, hope he feels like crap for doing so. ((hug))

Nemo1977 · 29/09/2005 10:31

Ebie..not out of order at all hun..neighbour shouldnt be opening your gate esp when you told him not to.

DQ tonight[well this afternoon] I am making a cottage pie for tea. While also trying out the brownie recipe..pmsl sorry just realised I sound all domestic godess today and its soo far from normality.. canalso empathise with the sit still and try hat on scenario adam hates to try anything on at all...lol

ebbie22 · 29/09/2005 10:34

At least it got me doing my housework in speedy time...But still going to have to take dd shopping after nursey as spent so long on here....
Keyboard doesnt work well[as u can tell]..inner we are having baked spuds again,with spag bolg,or chillie,already made and in freezer

sweetheart · 29/09/2005 10:37

Ebbie, of course you weren't out of order - at least you spoke to him first, how dare he come round shouting at you FGS!!!! Perhaps if his stinking attitude continues you should say he can no longer use your gate at all - that'll teach him!!!

DQ - we are having beef casserole for dinner tonight with roast pots - YUM!!!! I have, so far, managed to resist the temptation to include dumplings!!!

dramaqueen72 · 29/09/2005 10:39

thankyou ladies chilli and cottage pie added to list.

dramaqueen72 · 29/09/2005 10:40

Nemo1977 · 29/09/2005 10:44

Nemo1977 · 29/09/2005 11:01

dramaqueen72 · 29/09/2005 11:04

ss gifts sound lovely, you lucky lady..
now wish me luck at the supermarket and cycle helmet shops..

Nemo1977 · 29/09/2005 11:10

ooo love you SS the roses have a couple of hazlenut ones in and they are fulfilling my nut yearning..lol

scully · 29/09/2005 11:52

hmmm nemo love the hazelnut ones! Not much help on the menu front dq, tonight I'll be having whatever dh cooks last night he cooked spag bog, very nice. House was a bit of tip but at least he had scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floors and cooked dinner
But as he is on holiday this week and officially unemployed from next week, cooking, cleaning and diy shouldn't be too far from his mind
ebbie, you're better than me, I would have lost it with your neighbour, especially at the moment - my temper goes from 0-60 in about 2 seconds.......

Nemo1977 · 29/09/2005 13:21

ok I think my work for today is done..lol
Well apart from peeling and boiling potatos later.
I have my mince setting in the dish for tea and the brownies in the oven...ooo bugger just realised I havent greased the dish they are on..but have had to use a lasagne dish so fingers crossed they come off ok..if not it can be brownie crumble with custard..lol

Nemo1977 · 29/09/2005 13:24

o and DQ mix smelt gorgeous but we are not allowed to lick bowl as per instructions so had to shove it under the water tap before I was tempted...raw egg bit of a no no..lol

ei23mummy · 29/09/2005 13:49

afternoon all!!
how lazy am i?? iv only just managed to get out of bed!! iv been awake for 2hours tho but the house is cold and my bed wasnt!!
mmmmmmmmmmmmDQ could i have that peanut butter brownie recipe aswell??? sounds exactly like the type of mess id like to make!!
OMG!! scully did i read that your lie-in is til 7am before?? thats super-early for me
ebbie, tell your stupid neighbour to sod off!! he shouldnt have shouted about not being able to use YOUR gate for a while!! do you have a heavy plant pot or anything?- pref one that you dont like? if so youv got two choices-1) hit him with it (my personal fave!! and 2) give it to him to use to hold his gate open and tell him hes not using your gate again! your kids safety is more important than his gate even if he doesnt see it like that!!
how is everyone today??
