Hope Shiney has gone to work, it sounded like she needed to get out of the house

My boiler is off til the plumber can come round in the morning and rip up the whole bathroom floor. Again.

That sounds rubbish wasting.

I've had parsnip soup for lunch. Now trying to resist chocolate, which is easy eough for the 10 mins is takes for the curry taste to leave my mouth, but more difficult for the rest of the afternoon. Anyone else?

Parsnip soup sounds nice.

FIL is bringing an electric heater round, but not sure when.

for the leak wasting - i have had my fair share of dodgy landlords over the years - not that i am saying yours is dodgy!

I think i know who the lovely flowers person is, but tbh - it is so nice that people are not too sure who it is, as that must mean we are all lovely and capable of doing such a lovely act But, mega hats off to the actual person who got off their butt and actually sent them!

I have signed back on with the Lord Focus, now that i have easier access to the net. Two weeks to weigh in, so need to pray for a miracle make a big effort Just had a baked spud for lunch, with only sprinkling of cheese - as opposed to the amount i used to have

Hi to everyone with the snow, i woke up to a little frost this morning, but thank goodness nowhere near as the last couple of weeks!

FIL has dropped off the heater, so we're off out for a walk now.

Wasting, what a nightmare for you, hope it's sorted soon.

Sazz, wave towards North Manchester and I'll be over the hills!

Just made some flapjacks for the boys, think DS1 is having a growth spurt, he is eating soo much and is saying he is tired, even when he has had almost 12 hours sleep (Oh for DS2 to take his borther's lead). Plus all his jeans/trousers (some almost brand new) are suddenly a tad divorced from his ankles.

Am knackered!

Wasting, you have all my sympathy, having been in your situation last week. If I'm anywhere near you, I have 2 oil-filled radiators which haven't gone back up the loft yet....

wasting, so sorry about the leak! Such a fricking inconvenience, throws everything off. Hope FIL has brought you that heater.

Lizzy, my DH does that toenail stabbing thing too, drives me mental. DS also was up in the night around 3:30 and I'd only fallen asleep at about 2ish due to DH's snoring.

DS really getting on my tits today (both in a literal and figurative sense). Was really hoping this was the day we'd crack 'Napping 101', but no, he's whinging again after 5 minutes. What does he want to get up for? The only entertainment on offer is me cleaning up the dead hamster's cage to flog it for parts on ebay.

see, i'm so tired i can't even read properly. wasting, glad FIL has brought the heater!

Wasting - what a pain. Hope you get it sorted soon.

I am supposed to be working, but, well, you know how it is... always something more interesting on MN!

DH is at home today plumbing in the new toilet. He's never done one before. I am hiding in the office working avoiding work as, calm lovely bloke that he is, something seems to snap inside of him when he is doing DIY and he is best avoided. Also, when he starts swearing about things not fitting and shouting 'that's it, we'll just have to go without a toilet from now on' I start to laugh, which I have found has a pretty detrimental, yet funnier still, effect on his mood!.

Ah well, back to work or we'll be eating snow for tea because I can't afford food!

Yank, we need to sort our snoring toenail stabbing men out! Hope your wee one has some sleep soon.

MyCat, my DH goes from mildmannered to grouchmonster doing DIY, hope your loo is fixed soon.

It's a day of no sleep and DIY disasters, obviously!

Lizzy - he's in there now muttering under his breath. It's probably something to do with the whole hunter/gatherer focus on one thing male malarky stuff

Praying it's not a DIY disaster though, although there is quite a lot of banging going on, which I didn't think was necessary for fitting a loo!

MYCAT - she did a whole night last night OK she woke up at 1030 wondering why there was no one sat on her sleepy cushion, and she was awake at 6.30 but stayed in her room until DH went and got her.

OMG - FIVE That is FANTASTIC news! I bet you feel like a normal human being today and not a Zombie (that's how I used to feel).

Sazzles - They're all the same! It just makes me laugh so much, I have to stay out of his way for the sake of our marriage. Funnily enough, I went to B&Q on Monday and 'Got The Wrong Parts'. He's been today and, in fact, spoken to an old bloke all about it and got the right parts. He's shouting 'JUST COME OFF' at something now. I am NOT leaving the safe confines of the office!

I'm glad that I cannot join in the 'toenail digging' discussion. One thing DH does not do. He does fart in his sleep though

Just had a thought, I sincerely hope that DH's forays into plumbing does not start him out on an arse stretching gig a la shiney's plumber

Never mind DH's toenails, it's DD3's little toddler toenails that get me. And given where her feet are, it's a more tender area of my body that gets jabbed . Need to send her to Five for some sleep training I feel

DS is just moany moany moany today. He is 'Sir Moans-A-Lot'. Wonder if he's ill?

DH also does the farting in bed. And elbows me in the head with his long monkey arms. But the worst of all is his constant duvet-spinning. Every single bastard night, in his sleep he tries to turn the duvet 45 degrees so I'm left with just a bloody triangle covering my midsection. I wake up screeching 'STOP WITH THE FUCKING DUVET ALREADY!' (first no creme egg, now I scream at him in the night...I sound like a lovely wife don't I?)

I'd hoped moving from a double to a king size bed would sort out some of our sleep issues, but I'm ready to go to some sort of 50s sitcom style with each of us in single beds!

Yank, you don't need separate beds, just separate duvets. Seriously, I have a friend who reckons this saved her marriage!

Yay Fanny

MyCat

Got home 10 mins ago, tidied round the kitchen from the mess left by the boys this morning, made a milky coffee, sat down and then my shopping. I have dumped it all in the kitchen until I have a 5 min mn!
