zoo - sounds like my night last night. Twilight decided to sleep on the floor beside my bed last night, then was obviously dreaming of running and pattering her claws against the wall which kept waking me up Hmm

The ds woke me at 6.18 when he is not allowed to be noisy until 7.30.

I got up to discover the dcs had already been out on the trampoline in the rain in their pjs Shock The advantage of this being that ds had got dressed as his pjs were wet Grin (this is often an enormous challenge as he uses staying in pjs as way to try to control things).

I have also had to deal with a bullying incident at school yesterday. Ds has a link book due to his hiccups so I have just written it in there for now and will see what happens. Dh struggled to settle him last night because he was thinking about it every time he lay down to sleep. (He was called horrible names and told he would be battered if he told Sad).

Despite this, it feels like a good day.

A friend of mine is on holiday this week doing a decorating project so I am meeting him for lunch later. I haven't seen him for ages so I am excited about that.

I am also going out tonight bessie. Where are you going? I have book group.

I am also really relieved that today I have managed to deal with all the bedding that left me feeling overwhelmed last night.

I think we are making a necklace next week. I am hoping that I have enough beads for them to last for that project too as they are quite expensive.

I have to say that it is not something that I would wear myself but I really enjoyed making it. I don't wear much jewellery these days and if I do I tend to wear the same things all the time (special pieces).

I will try to set up a profile and put it on there once I have finished the threads on the ends.

Sorry, I have written another essay.

liveinazoo · 19/04/2012 10:33

carrotsandcelery · 19/04/2012 10:44

Thanks zoo.

Would it be really naughty to have a fiddle with the bracelet I made rather than doing another job right now, even though I am already going out for lunch?

carrotsandcelery · 19/04/2012 11:09

I have put a photo on my profile I think but I have no idea how to know if it has worked. Can anyone access my profile?

sarahfreck · 19/04/2012 11:34

Carrots. The profile is fine and the bracelet is lovely.
I hope things work out for DS and the bullying gets sorted very quickly!

liveinazoo · 19/04/2012 12:17

Scout19075 · 19/04/2012 12:32

Boiler's gone on the fritz again. I can't seem to give it a swift kick and there seems to be a bit of damn outside the door now. That door had boxes of MrScout's crap treasure in it to go to the loft. ARGH!

CatsSleepAnywhere · 19/04/2012 12:33

I am also lurking having lunch.

Scout19075 · 19/04/2012 12:35

I should add that MrScout has been after the plumber for a while since he didn't come back to us with a quote for the parts and labor to get the thing fixed properly.

ARGH!

Scout19075 · 19/04/2012 12:35

That should be damp not damn.

ARGH!

bessie26 · 19/04/2012 13:02

carrots I am v.impressed, it looks like it must have been very fiddly to make? My eyes ache from the thought of doing anything that small!

All the clothes I got for the DDs yesterday fit. I'm pleased, as I think we now have everything we need (except new summery coats), but must go check the bank balance. I usually end up returning most of it, so wasn't expecting to spend that much!

I am going out for a meal with a few friends tonight. We usually meet up a few times a year for lunch, so it will be nice to be able to chat without the kids needing my attention!

liveinazoo · 19/04/2012 14:35

Brew anyone?

CatsSleepAnywhere · 19/04/2012 14:38

CatsSleepAnywhere · 19/04/2012 14:45

Jammie. I didn't know you could get chocolate ones.

CatsSleepAnywhere · 19/04/2012 14:47

My living room is still a tip.! DD plays in there and has her toys all over the floor.

carrotsandcelery · 19/04/2012 15:07

Hello again! Whizzing in for a quick lurk before school pick up and the ensuing madness.

The bracelet took about 2 or 2 1/2 hours to make. I could make another more quickly possibly now that I know what to do. It is hard on the eyes though. One of the ladies was using a magnifying light which I think would make it less tiring in the long run.

The only thing is I have no idea what to do with it as I don't tend to wear these things, as I said.

I had a lovely lunch with my friend and we ended up sitting there for 3 hours Blush

Scout can you change plumbers or are you stuck with the same one? What a pita. It is such a drag when the basics fail you. I hope you are coping ok and still enjoy swimming etc.

Any biscuits left?

sarahfreck · 19/04/2012 15:11

Biscuit Biscuit Biscuit

Just a few! Help yourself!

bessie26 · 19/04/2012 15:33

carrots would your DD want it? or want to give to one of her friends for a birthday gift? If not, & you don't want to keep it - charity shop it!
