Driving with the Pumblettes

[Pumble]

A shiny new thread . I thought if I didn't do it this evening, words would be had by magi....

Right, let bedtime chaos commence chez pumble town!

[Pumble]

Mummys don't get ill so I can't pass on the lurgy

[Pumble]

He's been in bed all day...I may kill him....

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

Yes counselling was very insightful

I feel rotten, have the lurgy coming on; on the plus side I have a very sexy husky voice, on the downside I have no-one to use it on.

[magimedi]

Ghast

I think that having no one to use that voice on, when about to have a lurgy, is a blessing. Would you really want to go for it?

Joking aside, I really hope you get shot of lurgy asap.

Pumble

Just make sure you bury him without trace - under the patio is not a good one!!

Love to you both - (((xxx)) (((xxx)))

[Pumble]

He's still in bed......

[magimedi]

Sincerely hope he has made it out his bed by now!

Otherwise - in a very MumsNet reply.....................................................

LTB!!!

Joking apart hope he is better & all is OK with you & the Pumblettes.

PFGD has started creche - left for an hour on Friday. DIL sat in the car & sobbed - my heart goes out to her. DIL goes back to work in about 2 weeks.

PFGD has 3 hours of creche on Monday.............

You probably don't want to know the cost of childcare in France - 2/1 ratio of staff to babes & 35 hours a week = 40 Euros!!!!!!!!!!

[Pumble]

In hospital with me P-guess I should have been more sympathetic

[magimedi]

Mr P in hospital or one of the Pumblettes? Am assuming it's Mr. What's wrong?

Hope all is OK - let me know when you can.

(((xxx)))

[Pumble]

Mr P was admitted this morning. Thankfully he's home now with killer antibiotics and an appointment with the consultant to look at his kidneys. His immune system started attacking his body . A difficult day but we all survived and pumblettes almost in bed.... I definitely need a drink tonight.

[magimedi]

So please to hear that Mr P is home.

I hope he is taking some sick leave from work............ or I will be round to tell him about it!

You deserve a very large gin

Maybe this will be a wake up call for Mr P - he sounds as if he needs to just take a bit more time to relax, sleep & enjoy life.

Big hugs, sweetie - (((xxx)))

[Pumble]

Bloody hell. I've just had to take his work phone off him. I'm going to kill him! The consultant told him not to work for fucks sake grrrrrrrrr

[magimedi]

Tell him from me that no one ever said, on their deathbed, that they had wished they'd spent more time at work.

Drop the bloody phone down the loo - accidentally on purpose & MAKE him stay home.

If he doesn't stay home & get better either the illness will kill him or his dear wife will.

And I am only being 50% joking.

He really needs to take a longer view of his work/life balance.

Would you like me to get on my broomstick & fly up??

Huge hugs, as ever................

(((xxx)))

[magimedi]

Dare I ask how he is?

And even more important, how are you?

Broomstick at the ready!!!!!!

[Pumble]

Ok. I'm beginning to admit defeat now. Waiting for GP to phone as mr p seems to have taken a turn for the worse. All pumblettes asleep. Desperately trying not to wake them whilst trying to help mr p. Manning the fort single handed has been hard enough without this too.

[MyGastIsFlabbered]

Huge hugs Pumble. Hope MrP is ok

[magimedi]

Hope all is OK this morning, Pumble

(((xxx)))

Let us know, when you have a moment.

[Pumble]

Hanging in there, just! Mr P showing v Little signs of improvement so fingers crossed

[magimedi]

All digits crossed here for Mr P.

(((xxx)))

[Pumble]

Why did p3 need to choose this week to start waking early?! I know it's because he's snotty but I could do without it!!

[magimedi]

Because.......... that's what babies do!! Little sweetie.

Hope things are a bit better today.

(((xxx)))

[Pumble]

Now p2 poorly too. Really?! Is that necessary?! At least mum has come to lend a hand and ensure I eat!

[magimedi]

Thank the Lord for mum.

You have far to much on your plate atm - am just hoping you get a bit of decent sleep tonight.

How is Mr. P?? Getting better I hope, the threats from e should be a real tonic

Make some time for yourself, Pumble. Try to get out alone for a wee while tomorrow - even if you just drive round the corner & sit in the car & relish half an hour of peace.

(((xxx)))

[magimedi]

Not e but me

Fat fingers!

[Pumble]

Both pumblettes now poorly.... February can just F**k off Now!

[magimedi]

Poor you. How is Mr P?

Agree with February & in fact the whole of winter going to the far side of....

When is half term - next week? At least you won't have to rush out the house then.
