Whilst dong the ironing of course...

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 27/05/2007 09:40

Loud noisy rooms full of small screaming sugar and e-number hyped children has never really been my ida of a good time

foxybrown · 27/05/2007 09:41

Oh Ria, STOP!

You are up doing stuff that is useful and practical. putting me to shame as per usual.

Can't you log on to tell us that you are sat watching scooby-doo in your nighty trying to summon up the inclination to make some toast? Even the thought of slapping half a jar of Nutella on isn't getting me off the sofa!

foxybrown · 27/05/2007 09:41

That's my life, Daisy.

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 27/05/2007 09:50

Maybe she is doing that Foxy...and is just pretending to be a domestic goddess

BadZelda · 27/05/2007 09:50

Excellent daddy's managed to drag himself out of bed. Off to claim warm patch with a book

riabutterflew · 27/05/2007 09:56

It's ok (am not dressed - not pretty sight so good job I'm not trying to pull!). Neighbour spotting over for the day (how many men in shorts does it take to attach 2 mountain bikes to the back of a Ford Focus?) can lay off ironing and do some ebaying!

Kids upstairs silently killing each other - saves me a job!

riabutterflew · 27/05/2007 10:24

I'm sure my bump's clicking again. LO must be wearing tap shoes.

Am officially bored now.

justbeme · 27/05/2007 10:28

Morning -
Keep us informed Daisy - Ohhh v exciting!!
Ria - my bump clicks a little - but its more like Lo is farting at the top of my bump - do you think they fart???

Thanks for your comments last night about my sister - DP and I ended up at a Brewers Fayre and I had a lovely meal!! - A massive plate of Nachos with sour cream/cheese/etc for £1.99!!!!!! and then veggie pasta bake with garlic bread for £4.99!!
Our bill with drinks (half a cider for me!!) was £17 odd - Bargain!! and I said to my DP that Id enjoyed it more so than if my sister had been with us and we'd had to do all the small talk - "so what names have you decided on then? etc"
See Im easy to please, me !!

riabutterflew · 27/05/2007 10:36

I LOVE brewers fayre (but not the local one sadly). And having a chef to eat out with makes difficult, but he always says at least you know what you're getting with them, wonder if he would like to take me out this week? (My older sister doesn't "eat out", she prefers to cook AND they don't drink alcohol, so we have to coo over the cooking and drink gnats piss!) I have decided I must be the least sociable person I know!

Glad you had a good time with your DP anyway JBM.

Don't know about LOs farting. You would expectso as they soon get the hang of it in the outside world don't they. I have been thinking how awful it must be for them being upside down for so long.

Must get DS1 packed off to church youth group...

justbeme · 27/05/2007 10:43

Ha!! - just had a text from my sister!! "want to make the peace and come for tea later on?"
I'll leave it abit b4 replying - but sadly, were going out for dinner with my DP's mum (Dont know which is worse actually!!)

Its pissing down with rain - She'll still prob want to be taken to the cemetary later though to light her candles!! AGGGGGHHh and no - she's not at all religious which makes it worse. Her daily routine...........

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 27/05/2007 10:50

Surely if whe wants to make peace JBM, she should be inviting you around tfor tea and not foisting herself on her 8mo PG lil sis?

But at least she's acknowledged that you have the moral high ground

foxybrown · 27/05/2007 11:30

That's good JBM! Pleased she knows she is in the wrong! (big sisters, had years of aggro with mine!) Glad you had a good night last night, now I want Harvester salad, ribs and chicken.

Daisy - update please.

Have had flurry of activity, so feeling very virtuous!

Kids are painting life-sized pictures of themselves on the kitchen floor. Am keeping out of the way...

foxybrown · 27/05/2007 11:35

You go away for a flurry and everyone's buggered off ...

justbeme · 27/05/2007 11:39

You sound like a very good mum Foxy - always being creative . I quite like the arty stuff with kids - its the clearing up afterwards thats a pain!!
Im also crap at imaginary play - Dads always seem better at that than me IMO.

Just had 3 bacon sarnies with toms and brown sauce - now off to walk the dog round the block in the rain and then for a bath in between my dp degrouting/decorating the bathroom!!

Later XX

Actually ON the kitchen floor foxy, or on paper? I hate doing activities with my children...

I love in when big sisters are in the wrong and have to admit it. Not that they really do ADMIT as such.

Maybe your MW was in a parallel universe and didn't notice the pants DG? At least he had those on! (My DH answers the door to the takeaway delvery people in his dressing gown - always so late when he has takeaways you see. I think he gets some kind of freaky fun out of scaring them!)

Am off for my lunch with my lovely parents... hope everyone hangs on til tonight[gri]

Enjoy your Sunday

foxybrown · 27/05/2007 12:32

My DP thinks its perfectly acceptable to walk around in his pants (just his pants) at my parents house, opening the door here, speaking to the neighbours ...

I have painted the children's faces, done painting/nagging with them, tidied DP wardrobe, washed me, my hair, de-fuzzed (including grooming lady garden) done the washing. Haven't read the paper (they delivered The Star instead of the News of the World - I mean, I like the quality press on a Sunday!) er, I mean, I am going to read the Observer after lunch!

Now I can't breath, my bump is sore, am completely knackered and grumpy. It just isn't worth it.

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 27/05/2007 12:39

Not much doing with me now at all....the odd ouch that hurt, but nothing else.

DS has spoken very nicely to the baby and asked her to please stay put until after his party as although he'd love for her to be there, she'll be too little to play anyway...bless him!

so, bets are on for my c-section on the 5th!!

foxybrown · 27/05/2007 12:41

Humph! Daisy.

Well, its not going to be me for bleedin' ages, so can someone have a baby soon? Am getting mighty impatient.

DaisysGotSausageFeet · 27/05/2007 12:44

And a friend of mine who is off work at the moment has agreed to be my emergency stand in birthing partner should it all kick off when DH is at work this week....

I'm worried with all this stop start that when things finally do get going, I'll have left it too late for him to get here on time (at worst it's a 3.5 hour drive...at best just under 2)

Off to have a family snuggle on the sofa and watch crap science fiction films....bugger the ironing!!

foxybrown · 27/05/2007 12:48

Good for you Daisy! Might be a slow burner, then you'll be told your 5 cms!

There's a link from Lulumama on one of the threads on how to check your own cervix . Best left alone for the professionals IMO!

Euwww!
