Hello???? Is there anybody out there??!

Morning all! Just thought I'd pop in really quickly and say hi before going out to drop in.

Hope everyone is ok and will pop back later!

No, you would remember! It's Fab. A must have with cream and vanilla ice cream. Gorgeous

(Makes note to go to Mo's at firework time)

I'm pooped!! We've been out and about all day! It's been great, but somewhat tiring too.

DD likes strawberry jam on her pancakes! Lemon and sugar all the way for me!

Pumpkin ravioli is nice, but never tried pumpkin pie. Always sound revolting but then so does marmite and peanut butter on toast but that's lovely

God, that sounds really gross!

I've got one mindee left! / Got him for tomorrow afternoon, early finish for school holidays and then one day next week. At least he's 8 and we can go somewhere interesting. We have a Roman fort/ruins nearby, so I think I'll take him there. He's never been.

Seriously, if you like marmite, and you like peanut butter, you HAVE to try them together!! Not too much peanut butter though, that would be really sickly!!

Pumpkin pie is not gross! Marmite, however, blerch - no thanks.

Though, my son who is also american and dd loves the stuff. DD is half english so I get that, but my ds??

I meant the marmite and peanut butter. I'll try anything me. I'll be asking for a good recipe in October time!

Now then, problem! I've got no water. The whole street has no water. DH is filthy dirty in the garden and I badly need to wash my hair before I go out after mindee has gone home. AND I ran out of wetwipes yesterday, so mindee can't clean his mucky face, once he's finished his tea!

Oh no, what's the deal?

How come no water Mo?

I'm off to bung some bread in toaster. I HAVE to try this marmite and peanut butter mix, it's a new one for me!! I've recently been into marmite and honey - yum!

Dunno! Thames Water have a recorded message msaying they are aware here's a problem and are dealing with it! Hopefully it won't be toolong.

Try marmite and strawberries yum

hi everybody, havnt been in cos teh weather has been glorious here so have been out in the sunshie, which is just as well as had 6 kids!

What did you think Looney??? Hope you liked it

hi all, just popping in to say thanks for all the thoughts over the last few days. am doing ok ish, up and down. not much pain etc just groggy and tired. headaches are quite bad mind!

not working this week at all now and then two weeks of just one as others are term time only. and dh will be off so should get some me time along there, also it's my birthday so will have fun planning the party (big bday!) and then the day after mum and i are going for a spa day - just what i need methinks (and odd that i didn' get round to cancelling it after they'd moved my dates back, meaning i wouldn't have been enough weeks for the floation thingy! wierd how our minds and bodies work!)

YUM!!! Now need to try with Strawberries

Mo, hope you get your water back soon!!

EllieM - lovely to see you back, been thinking of you! Hope the op went ok, take it easy and try and rest! (although keeping busy can help too). The spa day will do you the world of good! Take care xxx

LOL i actually NORTED there at your comment Mo LOL, dd trying to get to sleep asking me if im alright...Well Crace, Mo's rendition made me sound quite a hero really, in actual fact i was watching to fodgy blokes walking towards us(quiet part of park) and as they passed and i looked behind at them i stepped on a twig(although it was a big twig, i was no were near the size of a tree..FFS im not THAt blind mo!!!) it was a chunky little bugger and i went over on ankle, i heard a snap and panicked..then ir ealsied it was the twigLOL..managed to hobble to collect mindees and dd, then when theyd all left i took mt trainers off( yes trainers, not heels or anything remotely hard to walk in a nice FLAT pair of comfy trainiers) and my foot went all nutty proffessor on me!..i soldierd on with my painting in bloody agony>, dp thinks im mad, but once id done most of the woodwork i collapsed and then made him run round after me all night fetching me chocs and drinks and the phone to tell my mammy what the howwible twig did to my incy wincy footsy wootsy today, and said she was to blame cos it was just after i left her house...anyway..hobbled about today, had to put crocs on as couldnt get foot into any other shoe so good job it wasnt p*ssing down!

Ah, Rose You do sound like me, accident prone to the end! Bless you

Dinner sounds yum!

Sympathy please! (And no judging my dinner choice either!)

Need serious help with some easy(ish) but impressive looking craft activity I can do with a 22 month old and 3 year old tomorrow morning.

Have a parent coming to see me mid morning and want to have done something good before they come that is just sitting on the table drying or something, that they will see

HELP!! So out of ideas right now!

oh and ahs any one managed to carry on as norm CM'ing whilst having no/very little kitchen avaialble??/

I have Crace, last year I managed (God knows how!) to cmind while my kitchen was ripped out and I lived with the fridge, mwave and everything on one table! It only took 3 weeks but felt like an eternity.

Well, have had an absolute sh** week, the 3 kids I have taken on are an absolute nightmare, 2 of the brothers fight ALL the time, even my 6 yr old ds asked them why they fight non-stop and its wearing my patience very thin.

Does anyone else have trouble with siblings? £200 doesn't sound enough for the stress they are causing, will have to have word with Mum and dad, if this behaviour doesn't stop, will have to either let them go or enforce very strict rules. Its not fair on my ds as he misses out on trips if they are naughty. Any ideas?

mum2luke - oh dear i'd give notice.
