Dh can't cope with them at all. He watched one that had my friend's cousin in it but other than that I don't put him through it. He goes off to do stuff during what he calls gory midwives (call the midwife) and I watch OBEM on on demand although have learnt it is cheaper to tape it as we have a limit on our downloads.

I think dh does understand why I blubber but doesn't want to go there himself. Grin

HELP! How do I get ds to stop talking - just for 5 mins? Then I can chat again. Just 5 mins...

liveinazoo · 14/02/2012 14:01

masking tape across the chops?!

blackcat you back yet?

liveinazoo · 14/02/2012 14:03

i used my 15mins to head under the kids bed (and yet again found enough washing for a whole load despite laundry baskets being used Hmm

BlackCatTryingToFly · 14/02/2012 14:09

Done 1 x washing up.

DS is playing out, but I can't see where. If I don't see him soon I will be going looking. He is on his scooter so could be anywhere in the local area.

hope hes come back now blackcat

want have another spurt at 3.30?

BlackCatTryingToFly · 14/02/2012 14:22

I have spotted him. He's playing just off our street at a nearby street. He is with friends so as long as he is careful crossing the road he will be fine.

I'm going to have another go at 2.30. I am so behind I need to keep chipping away at it.

carrotsandcelery · 14/02/2012 15:35

Ds and I have trashed the kitchen and then I have had 3 more phone calls so no chance to clear it up. We are off out to Ds's drum lesson and then the vets so won't be checking in for a while. Hopefully the drumming will burn off some of ds's mania though. FX.

Dd is having a friend to sleep over tonight (she is going to be sooooo tired) so romantic evening seems to have gone out the window for dh and I. It was a long shot anyway Grin

BC and Zoo Go Girls! You are both on fire! Well done! Grin

BlackCatTryingToFly · 14/02/2012 15:52

Hi Carrots have fun at ds drum lesson.

I did the rest of the drying up. Now stopped with a mars bar to get a bit more energy! Grin

It will take me a few more attempts to get the kitchen sorted (it is quite big!)

DS is still playing out. I had better check where he is. He seems fairly sensible and has never strayed too far yet so FX.

liveinazoo · 14/02/2012 16:04
