Is it a bird?...Is it a plane... Noo it's one of the aerodynamic Shiney crew

[MitsubishiWarrioress]

So, here we are on the 63rd(?) thread...

Much intellectual discourse has been held...The big bang theory rewritten...thermodynamics hotly debated, the Election mused upon....

Alongside which, we coax, encourage, arse kick, tease, boost and cajole our way into a healthier lifestyle, with whatever 'diet' or exercise regime suits, and drinking more WATER (are we drinking our water ladies? )..

Please pay homage to our mascot as you enter the thread.

Anyway, where were we? The life and works of Aristotle I believe.....and over to you Total...

I am very sorry to say that the housework is still there, despite me ignorning it for the last hour. Why didn't it just go and sort itself out. Bloody stuff!

I suppose I had better go and do it then.

Probably wont for a bit though. Cannot be bothered, particularly as almost none of it is my mess!

Sorry about my moaning. He is just stubborn and blind and selfish MyCat and quite often he cannot see what is right in front of him. I have tried.. Anyway, that is enough of feeling sorry for myself. I don't want to drag the thread down.

bella, moan away, it's what we are here for. Sometimes it helps to get it off your chest.

You wont bring the thread down.

OK - I have now avoided it for as long as I can, 'right housework... I am coming your way with a duster, vacuum cleaner and a manic look in my eye, watch out'

Catch you later ladies.

Bella do you want me to come over and give JM a kick up the arse?

oooohhh the Finnster has played me good style, i just rang my mum and she said he stopped crying before i had even drove off this morning, and he has been fine ALL day

grrr

hells. anusol is good for healing tatoes (sp) an ex houesmate's boyfriend was a tatoe artist. plus you can buy it in tescos and other superstores that sell meds with pharmacy, but not phamarcy restircted sale so can put through self serve.

I have just returned from returning uni books. it feels crap. Have to go get the boy in a mo. Need some breakfast or lunch. dont fancy anything. .

PLus the bruising on my butt has now come out and it hurts to sit I really am getting old.

bella - you being upset is completely understandable, he needs a slap. DP was similar over Easter although he didn't put jobs off due to charity work but due to watching rugby/grand prix/football or playing ps3

Am pretty fed up with him, kitchen still not finished, curtain pole that fell down still not back up, garden gate still not fitted and now back door is broken so to get outside we have to leave side gate open and go out front door - thereby making it unsafe for dd to play in garden alone.

Vinny, what a clever boy.

Bella, from everything you've ever said about him it's clear that he's very lovely most of the time, but 'silly' is not acceptable for peers imo.

Defluff, that wou;d have made me soooo unconfortable. He must think it's a good thing that he wants to do that otherwise he wouldn't mention it.

MyCat, that's a very inspiring weight-loss story.

Batty, don't be scared, Sazz is doing my share of exercise too.

Aw Hells, hope she's better soon. Glad you're enjoying series 5.

I'm attempting to do paperwork, housework etc. but DS won't let me.

He is currently shouting 'Pippin!' out the door, like Aunty Mabel on Come Outside. I hope she doesn't turn up!

I am changing his nickname to the Limpet

I had a week off with him so we were together 24/7, and now he thinks he has me wrapped around his little limpet finger, he has cried everyday this week when i have left him, little manipulator

Clever little buggers these children aren't they?

Bella. I am sorry you are having ishoos with JM. It does make the rest of the relationship tough and can wear you dowon from not wanting to be in charge of the little things. I hope you sort it out though. you do often seem like a lovely couple

DeFluff.. not good about what the guy said, because it also makes you have knowledge of a potential crime that you are not comfortable with. I have known something for about 8 months that I hate knowing but have never been sure what to do about it. It's probably irrelevant now but wish I had reported it.

I like the dress Batty.. very classy

My friend and I changed our plans and just went for lunch in the village and it was lovely. She moved and it has bought out the best in her... And I suppose I am happier and not quite so sensitive to things so we talked for ages and will meet up again. The DD's were delightful together.

Let's all stalk CalanthiasDad and terrorise him on his birthday ....

Twinset.. hello you are most welcome..

God, taking time out is seriously weird. I think I could get used to it though.

Glad you had a nice lunch Mitts

Hells i missed your post about your DD illing (keep flicking back through the thread and finding stuff i missed, its so hard to keep up innit?) i hope she gets better soon

Yeah Vinny, come and give him a good kicking

Wasting, yes, he is lovely most of the time, I mean diamond earings, i-phones... but that is him feeling guilty and I would rather be without those things if it meant that he paid more attention in person iyswim.

Anyhoooo, Vinny the Finster sounds adorable, little monkey!

Mitts, sounds like you had a lovely time, you do need to do it more often!

mycat - thanks for that And well done you, though sorry about your friend's mum. I started at 19st1 and am now 14.10, and really want to get to 12st7. Although i know that is still overweight, i remember being comfortable with myself at that weight, and then anything less than that is a bonus And i guess we have pretty similar reasons for doing it as well - wanting to do more with the kids

Bella - at your DH - i would definitely make him spoil you rotten all the time Flippancy aside, i hope you are ok. Your outfit sounds lovely

very and at the run sazz

wow - way too many emotes there - sorry!

Can you get out with just the two of you at all and talk Bella? It seems to be something that gently runs under the surface from time to time and makes you quite unhappy I think. Some people really need things spelling out specifically instead of recognising what seems obvious to ourselves. And in the end treats just cover up the real issue. I have never been a thing person, buying or receiving. But especially as a 'plaster'. Could you get some time together?

Jet... I like Junior's Bed.... I'd like something like that in our spare room. Storage as well..

I am hoping to do a small project this weekend that would get my work some attention. If the DC's will settle with their Dad. I wish I had never given up my studio....

Phew, just did a mini mad tidy and hoover up. Having a quick sit down before getting DC's from nursery.

jet, you've done really well too. My main reason was for the kids. I just had to be fit for them really (little did I know that I would be too tired from looking after them to actually play with them ).

I'm off for the day now everyone so have a good evening. Friend coming over to look after DC's whilst I take DH out for a meal, he;s got one more day at work til he leaves so I thought I would take him out to celebrate.

oh i wish i didnt have verbal diaoriha

i just told my work collegues a funny story about a breast toning machine and now i am

Vinny.

Mitts - we are going out for lunch tomorrow... You are such a talented woman

Mitts - hadn't even thought about there being a potential crime, bugger. Will keep watch out in Advertiser see if anything gets mentioned over coming weeks. He did say he couldn't find his house number anyway, so hopefully nothing will happen.

If you don't mind me asking what is it that you do? I'm guessing painting maybe?

Bella - I feel like that about my dp. He's wonderful with the dcs and does things like cooks dinner, runs me baths, looks after the baby at night even though hes working and im on maternity leave but, and this is a big but, he has a slight problem with honesty. Even over stupid things such as 'have you spoken to your mother today'. I'd give up all the tea being made, dinner being cooked, lie ins etc if he'd just be more, errr, truthful Although not like last weekend when Id weighed myself and he guessed at 14 stone. I'm actually 12'12.

Mitts, that sounds like a lovely lunch.

Project sounds intriguing and very positive too.

Bella, I agree with Mitts suggestion, time together alone, and out of the house if you can. I know me and DH used to put the world to rights in the pub.

That's it Jet, I want to run about with DS, and I'd love to have a bike with a child seat, or trailer, to get to the swimming baths partly as the fare was extortionate! I certainly can't fit down the slide with him atm.

hello ladies. Im gigantaur. do you mind if i re join?

i shall reveal myself overon the fb page if you can't already guess but please don't out me on here.

Hello you monster you - nice name

Of course you can rejoin

I have asked you a question over on...
