[NoWordForFluffy]

Here we go, brand spanking new thread.

If you could finish the old one off first, that would be great!

AHHHH PSB that is wonderful and you have every right to be proud she works very hard getting up early at these SAT practices Well Done !

MrsMad your sis is a piece of work! Try and ignore, she must be such a miserable person.

It's not just you. We've had arguments galore here about my aunties funeral. People kicking off because we haven't booked a church, because we've asked people not to wear black, because of where the wake will be. People are awful!

Wheels I'm so glad you're tolerating the feeds so well!
I can't even imagine how cold it is where you are right now.

I hope everyone and their dc start to feel better soon!

We have some snow here and are under the amber warning but it isn't coming to much. DH is disappointed , he has his heart set on a snow day tomorrow 🙄

Well done to your DD, PB!

Wheelie, I hope your DH's back is better soon. And well done re your formula. Good going!

Notting, I'm glad Alfie seems better now. Sorry you're ill though.

Cish, well done on getting to the GP!

Woolly, sorry your DS has been sick. DS ate anything not moving while he's been off with the pox! He's definitely back at school tomorrow though.

Mrs, Mrs, Mrs...there are no words (you know what I think!).

Sorry if I've missed anyone; you all chat so much when I'm at work!

Oh, another shitty commute today; Merseyrail has had a mare this month. A dead train stopped all services on my line home today. Amazingly work let those of affected go home early. I got home at my usual time after leaving an hour early! 😱 Hideous!

Ahh Crazy l am so sorry you have had such a reaction from ppl to your Darling Aunties funeral , honestly what is wrong with ppl? Do you mean to say ppl are upset because your family haven't booked a church service and are saying to not wear black . Surely they realise you are doing what your Auntie would want or what you think she would want. They are being very insensitive and not very nice, it is enough to have to arrange it all without all that going on ! l hope you are all bearing up under this strain it is too bad of them
Poor DH is going to be very upset l am afraid there is barely any snow here bless him .
Fluffy that commute sounds horrendous m'dear , thank Goodness you are off for the weekend now and yes l know what you think re the Dsis and you are right , there are no words
Unwind and enjoy what is left of your evening and YAY to DS being well enough for school tomorrow

Thank you woolyback i hope your DD arrived home safely.
Notting i hope your feeling better and keeping warm.
wheels im feeling much more positive thankyou. I hope joe makes a speedy recovery.
mrsmad sorry to hear you've had a rough day i hope that was a really lovely cuppa.
philomena that is lovely news congratulations to your DD.
crazy what a horrible situation.

I typed out a long reply and Mumsnet ATE IT! :(

PSB It sounds like your DD is doing so well at school I'm so proud of her so I know you are too!

Mrs Joe seems to be feeling a bit better this afternoon. We need to figure out a way he can sleep and NOT break his back lol. But yes he's a stereotypical man who doesn't like going to the doctor.

Fluffy I am so sorry for the nightmare that is your commute! ARe you at least staying warm during it?

Crazy It's going to be a bit warmer on Sunday thankfully!! About 4 degrees C! I am so sorry people were carrying on at your auntie's funeral!! Have people NO DECENCY!? ugh

Thank you all for the encouragements re my formula! I cannot wait to at least get up to a weight so I'm no longer underweight!

Our snow is going to hit us tonight! Not sure how much but if it's pretty I'll snap some photos for you guys! My house is staying pretty warm which is a huge blessing!

Thanks everyone, I think it's been a shock for DD that she's had to work hard since last year, up until then all subjects were very easy for her. She can read pretty much anything though. She's also been entered for the general knowledge round, her general knowledge isn't that great, because she only remembers what she's interested in. She'll be all right with wildlife questions though!

Fluffy what a horrible commute for you! At least you don't have to worry about it for 3 days now.

Ahhh Wheelie Mumsnet has a habit of doing that to me too lol , either that or l write out a longie on my phone and then l touch the wrong icon and it disappears . Great news re Joe feeling better and brilliant re the weather breaking a bit on the weekend, you will all feel like you are in a sauna it is so much warmer to what it is now lol . Such a relief your house is staying warm for you too !
Cish , the cuppa was amazing thank you and bless him he made me toasted cheese sarnies for my tea too
PSB the last year in primary l think they really step up the expectations of them bless her but she sounds totally up for it good girl!
Just watched Hunted , it's my secret fix lol , hope Frank and his brother win it they have had it tough bless them .

Wolly I think I’ll be doing that tonight!.

Mrs I’m sorry about your sister but you’re doing a cracking job.

Wheelie I hope Joe is doing okay

Philomena Well done to your DD, I bet you’re so proud!

Fluffy I don’t know how you manage to do that commute, but at least you get a break now.

Thank you for your well wishes for me and Alfie. We’re both doing a bit better now, we’ll have to get out the house soon because he’s going crazy being stuck in.

PSB A kid who loves to read is an amazing gift to the world! I have one of those too!

Morning! Drinking coffee and watching - Carol? 😋

Who's that weather lady? Wheelie will have no idea what I'm talking about! 😂

327

Morning!

We have CBeebies on, so no idea about the weather person!

The commute isn't normally that bad, but a combination of platform upgrade works (for brand new trains next year) and the cold weather affecting the electric rail and the old trains, it's been a shit month, with another shit month to go!

Wheelie, you're doing so well.

So, who has snow? We don't, but it's bloody freezing!

I might go and do some digging in a bit. The soil has been covered so shouldn't be frozen. It's most rare for me to have a Friday without anything much planned. I don't like it! 😂

The snow turned to rain in the night. 😢 Wales looks terrible Mrs and Crazy! ❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄

Morning everyone 😀
Snow here yay! Twill be fine to go to the parents though l am sure .
Notting thank you for the praise m'dear 🤩
Hope you and Alfie can get out today and enjoy the snow if you have any 🤗⛄☃️⛷️🌨️❄️
PSB have you any snow with you m'dear? Have no idea who the weather person is this morning 🤔
Wheelie didn't sleep well last night, upset over my sister tbh, she has not been contacting my DDs and they are upset. I am really surprised at her doing that tbh , our row was nothing to do with the girls . She took a picture of the girls off her FB profile straight away after the row and l am upset for them. I never thought she would like that with them. The towelling fabric sounds lovely and soft 😃 hope you are warm and safe & Joe has a great night sleep 💐🤗
Fluffy you have no snow!! You are glad l bet , no snow angels for you then lol 😀❄️🌨️⛷️☃️⛄ have a lovely day at the allotment and enjoy yourself 😀
Best shift up the parents, have a lovely day everyone 😀, hope the DC are much better speak LTR 😃🤗⛄☃️⛷️

Allotment plan scrapped. It's too bastard cold to even consider! 😂

Morning all! Had snow all morning, so we didn’t go to play group but we went for a walk in the snow instead. We’ve learned that Evie hates it! But Alfie loved it. It’s freezing here now so will get us all in the bath to warm up.

Afternoon.

I've had a lazy Friday really. I've finally started the cross stitch for my mum and that's all I've done other than go to school twice!

It's been sunny, but freezing all day. The lounge gets lovely and warm when it's like that!

Afternoon everyone 👋😃🤗
Been up the parents for hours then did their shopping and took it up and put it away for them . Snow is lovely here just right. Roads and paths clear but the views are gorgeous and the DC are off school and can go out snowballing and sledging .
Fluffy bout time you had a lazy day m'dear , recharging your batteries 😀, sunny wintry days are the best when we are snug as a bug in our homes 😃🤗
Notting the walk in the snow sounds lovely vely better to get fresh air and exercise than going to play group to catch even more germs from the darlings 😀
DH doing us tea , cheese Toasties l think bless him.
Have a great evening everyone 😀

Hi all, not had the best evening, just got news that my great auntie has died. She was only in her mid 60s and has always been really well so it was a huge shock.

Ahh Notting l am so sorry my dear that is such a young age , you must be devastated

Thank you Mrs, it is horrible, especially as it was such a shock. But I have my family around me and that’s been helping

I hope you are all finding comfort from each other, bless you Notting

notting
Home from work now with no plans for the weekend. Just about too get the DC'S ready for bed then im going to curl up on the sofa with a cup of tea. Feeling quite sleepy already.

Notting I'm so sorry for your loss! May her memory be a blessing.

I had a very rough day emotionally (it's my time of month) so I took a break today and pretty much just rested and increased my formula rate and embroidered.

I'm at 70 ml!! I only have 10 more to go and I'm at goal.

PSB OMG tell me about the weather lady!! LOL

Mrs I'm sorry your sister is stressing you out so :(

Fluffy WOOT for cross stitch. Sounds like it was a good idea to ski alotment lol.

It snowed here. Not much but here's a photo of our snow and a kitty in a box lol Also my embroidery.

I'm so very ready to hit my goal of 80 so I can switch to nighttime feeds. By Sunday I should be ok to wait until 5 pm to hook up and run! WOOT which means Monday I can go to my daughter's appointment without being all tethered.
